FAYES' POV
Catherine liked Willie. This was a well-known fact besides Willie.
Upon hearing Catherine's invitation, Willie just raised an eyebrow and accepted without any objection. He even walked up to her with a smile and teased her, "You can only team up with me. If even I refuse you, you look too pitiful."
Catherine knew what he was talking about, with a flat mouth, but quickly regained her proud posture.
Looking at her standing there like a proud white crane, I couldn't help but roll my eyes.
On the side, Arnoldo's laughter caught my attention. I turned my head to look at him and happened to see him looking at me too.
"Happy cooperation, my team-mate."
Looking at his hand reaching out to me, I hesitated for a moment, but still held the cold hand and said, "We must win."
Arnoldo seemed a bit surprised by my sudden competitiveness. He paused for a moment, then grinned and held my hand even harder.
"Okay, my team-mate."
