Seeing how Toby agreed to Zane’s words, Tina was filled with resentment because she knew that Zane was deliberately setting a trap for her—forcing her to hike a mountain that she didn’t want to. The important point was, she had to jump into this trap, or she would really be seen as a hypocrite.

At the thought of this, she silently cursed Zane a few times in her heart, but put on a smile on her face, saying, “You must be kidding, Mr. Coleman. All I said was the mountain is too high, and nothing about going home.”

“Oh, so you’ll still go for the hike?” Zane asked with raised eyebrows.

Nodding, she answered, “For sure.”

“Alright,” Zane said with a smirk and didn’t say anything else after that.

Looking at Tina, Toby said, “Tina, you don’t have to mind the things Zane said. If you really don’t want to go hiking, you can—”

“It’s alright, Toby. I can do this.” She broke him off and stopped him from speaking by placing a hand over his mouth.

Seeing how determined she seemed, Toby decided to drop the matter.

As Rebecca watched the both of them, she couldn’t help but shudder from disgust. “So cheesy.”

Grinning, Sonia asked, “Why is it cheesy?”

Pouting her lips, Rebecca answered, “We’re here for a hike, but look how corny they are. She’s even covering his lips as if they’re in a soap opera. I’m getting goosebumps from watching them. Isn’t it cheesy?”

Sonia turned back and stole a glance at Toby and Tina before nodding her head and laughing. “Yes, a little.”

“That’s enough, President Reed. Let’s go and stop looking at them. It hurts our eyes,” Rebecca said, holding her arm.

“Okay,” Sonia replied, and they entered the hiking entrance.

Behind everyone, Toby overheard their conversation, and his eyes turned solemn. Cheesy? Is that what we look like in their eyes?
