"What about the deal?" Looking at the excited Claudia, Ernest was curious about her background, wondering how she could still be in high spirits after losing. She even admitted her defeat without hesitation. It was all out of his expectations.
She nodded. "It's still valid, of course. I'm someone of my word."
As she spoke, she gestured toward the apartment, indicating for them to follow her.
Then, she walked straight toward the apartment.
At the same time, Gary and Kendrix were glaring at each other. Both of them looked at Claudia, then at Ernest and Sebastian.
Kendrix said unhappily, "Where are you going?"
Claudia replied impatiently, "Washroom."
"Then why ask Ernest and Sebastian to go with you?" he asked.
"They wanted to use the washroom too," she answered as she shot a sidelong glance at Ernest and Sebastion, urging them to play along.
Neither of them spoke nor looked at Kendrix.
Kendrix frowned.
