A Deal With A Playboy
The car rolled over to the street across the chic modern house that was covered in various plants.
"Okay. We're here." Mayumi announced loudly over the loud music. Now that her hair is shorter, she definitely looked like that girl in the K-Pop Idol Thrice who always sports a short hair.
"Good luck Hexie-er!" Dongfei winked at the older girl, in which Hexie only pursed her lips. As the time goes, the more she resembles the youngest member of Red Cake.
Zhang Dongfei really likes to tease her friends despite them being years younger than them. In a year's time, she will be attending in ICE University too, where most of them are studying at.
"Thanks for today guys and I'm sorry I couldn't join you guys on the sleepover because the dragon's back," Hexie sincerely apologized.
"It's alright Hexie-chan. We'll reschedule." Minato Kimiko reassured Hexie. This girl really lookes like the kawai japanese member of Thrice, no mistake on that part.
'Dang
"Yeah. Don't worry Hexie-er. I'll make sure that bastard Park Jinhai will shut his mouth and won't snitch on you!" Wang Lihua gripped on a rubber ball as if she was choking a certain playboy's neck.
"And I will also make sure he will regret his decision of dating me!" Wang Lihua laughed evilly. And now she's really angry.
Hexie hugged Lihua and muttered another apology. Park Jinhai was smart for a playboy. Hexie remembered what transpired at their office earlier.
"I could keep this a secret but on one condition."
"What?" Hexie asked.
Jinhai smiled eerily.
"Well, I would keep this a secret only if Miss Lihua Andrea Wang agrees to date me."
The girls, especially Lihua, was silent...more like stupified by Park Jinhai's end of the deal. Hexie looked at Lihua worriedly.
'No. I can't do this to Lihua. I can't let her go down to the death route.' Athena pondered.
'Damn this Male MC. Why is he so hang up on the Villainess? It's no longer following the novel's plot. I think I ruined the novel's premise when I accepted the marriage alliance. Park Jinhai was supposed to fall in love with the female MC, who was yet to appear, next freaking year!' Hexie's mind was in shambles.
"Sorry Park Jinhai. I'm not going to use Lihua as my bargaining chip--" Hexie was interrupted by Lihua.
"No, Hexie-er. I can't let your hard work go to waste. You have been an asset to our club as our very own DJ. If Auntie Lifen founds out from other people, she will forbid you from going here. or worse, she might force us to shut this place down!" Lihua said with conviction.
"Wait--" Once again Hexie was interrupted.
"Park Jinhai. I accept your challenge. Prepare for your worst date ever!" Lihua pointed at Jinhai. But Jinhai took her hand and kissed it.
"It would be my pleasure babe."
Now back to the present. Lihua was furiously rubbing her hands with alcohol and then continued gripping the rubber ball every 30 seconds.
'Atleast the Male MC, Park Jinhai, didn't ask for the Villainess, Wang Lihua, for a marriage ahehehehe' Hexie mentally laughed, hoping that the thought won't ever cross Jinhai's mind.
This was a lot to process. She have to run over her notes about this novel world again and make back-up plans.
"Good night girls! Travel safely!" Hexie said as she slipped out of the car, the summer night's warm air met her cold skin. Hexie hates summer, it was too hot for her cold-loving body.
"Good niiiiight~" Kimiko, Dongfei, Mayumi and Lihua simultaneously shouted while waving their hands animatedly.
Hexie smiled and waved back at her body's friends. They really were different now, well aside from their eyebrows, the Villainess Squad looked more kinder and approachable now thanks to Athena Hexie's make-up skills.
These four Villainess' temperament changed with continuous interaction with this new Wu Hexie. And surprisingly, these young ladies have substance. They weren't just pretty dolls who like to bully other people like how the novel and drama portrays them to be. They have their own personalities and feelings. They were...human. And it was up to Hexie to guide them to the right path, to completely avoid their own death routes.
The car roared back to life and left Hexie standing near the street lamp. From her spot, she could see the pots of plants and flowers littered around the house.
She smiled fondly at her plants. George Wu, her Dad, would often come here and help her water all the plants in the house. And sometimes Kotone would also visit her with some exotic plants and lots of food in tow.
Hexie hastily walked towards her the other street, she felt icky with the spilled wine on her skin and top. A nice bath would be nice, Hexie thought.
"Operation: Do Not Wake The Dragon and Get Into The Room Safely---Commence!" Hexie whsipered to herself. And started doing ninja moves on the way to the house.
But as she tiptoed towards her house's gate, she noticed that the lights were all out except for her room.
