Chapter 35

Chapter 35 I _ Leu was on the verge of a mental breakdown Shed imagined todays gathering as a cory meetup in a serene cafe , sipping coffee while catching up .

Naturally .

Noelle , who probably didnt even know how to order coffee , would embarrass herself , giving Leia the perfect chance to subtly undermine her and shine .

But readity had thrown her plans out the window .

se room game The worst part ? Noelle seemed genuinely excited about this ridiculous escape room .

Unwilling to be outdone .

Leia plastered on a bright smile and chimed in .

An escape room ! Ive always wanted to try one , but my family thought in was too intense for me .

Really Connor raised a brow , intrigued .

Leia , you like escape rooms ? You seem so calm and quiet I wouldnt have pegged you as a fan of Leta blinked , feigning a bashful yet playful demeanor , I love exciting games like this ! Im just not very fit , so dont be mad if I slow you down during the escape .

No problem Il stick with you and protect you , Connor offered gallantly .

Thank you .

Leia flashed him a sweet smile before glancing expectantly at Harley .

Harley , lets do our best together ! Harley spared her a brief glance .

Noelle and I will be moving quickly we cant afford to linger on each floor .

You and Connor can catch up at your own pace .

Leias smile faltered Whats the point of playing this stupid game if I cant be with Harley ? Connor , sensing the tension , laughed and teased Harley , Hey , before you went abroad , didnt you get knocked out on the tenth floor in this game ? Planning to clear all fifteen this time ? Of course Harley smirked coolly , How many people have completed it since Ive been gone ! Not many probably fewer than five .

But last year , some genius cleared it in 37 minutes , setting the fastest record ever Not even an hour ? Harley raised a brow , genuinely impressed He glanced at Noelle , his expression turning competitive .
