The Apple of My Eye
Chapter 701 Would You Dare Play It

"Mr. Lu, you're finally here," Kitty said in a mincing voice as she approached Charles in a pretentious manner. Kitty actually came here today to take all the opportunities to seduce Charles. She stood beside Charles and put her arm around him. However, Charles avoided her touch in an unemotional way.

Staring at her arm hung in the air, Kitty felt upset. But she had to pretend to be not affected at all. So she said to Charles in an artificially sweet voice, "I have been waiting for you the whole afternoon." "Oh, really?" Charles replied sarcastically. Charles cast a glance at Kitty and asked expressionlessly, "Why are you waiting for me?"

Kitty wasn't able to answer Charles' question for a little while. She was dazed. She couldn't believe that Charles would really be so uninterested in her. All the while she believed that she was pretty and she was confident that she would be able to get him.

Well, anyone could agree that Kitty was prettier than the other models. The sexy swimsuit she was wearing today had even accentuated her curvy figure. Even Sheryl was impressed when she saw Kitty's figure. However, Charles didn't have any reactions at all.

Kitty felt more frustrated and couldn't help looking down at her figure. Was the swimsuit not fit to her?

After thinking twice, she realized that the problem was not the swimsuit.

She was wearing a black swimsuit with two shoulder straps crossed at the back and tied around her neck. It actually gave her a very attractive sex appeal.

Additionally, her wavy chestnut hair was tied in a ponytail. Her long and slim legs came under the hem. All these made her more attractive and sexy. Even the waiters couldn't help but glance at her every time they passed by. How could Charles not even cast a single glance at her?

"The truth is," Kitty started to explain after she was able to appease herself, "we have prepared some games for the party and we wished to invite you to play with us."

"Okay," Charles crisply accepted her invitation. He could already see through Kitty's scheme. The reason why he decided to agree was so he could get a chance to fail her plan and embarrass her in the end. Then Charles turned to Sheryl and said, "Let's eat something." Charles took a bunch of roast meat and handed it to Sheryl, "Taste it."

Sheryl hadn't eaten anything until now because she was busy taking care of Shirley. So when she was given the roast meat in Charles' hand, she couldn't help but suddenly notice her hungriness. She was extremely grateful to Charles' thoughtfulness.

Charles was fully aware how busy Sheryl had been earlier and he knew that she hadn't eaten yet. So he went toward the barbecue grill, rolled up his sleeves, and roasted some meats for her. After he handed the roasted meats to her, he said, "I roasted these meats myself. Do they look delicious?"

"You did? Really?" Sheryl then gave him a suspicious look. A disbelief was reflected on her face. She could still remember that unknown disgusting thing Charles had cooked the last time so she couldn't help but doubt if these meats roasted by him could truly be eaten.

Anyway, they looked slightly delicious.

Sheryl took a bite to taste it and then nodded to Charles. "It is delicious!"

When Charles heard her compliment, he laughed happily like a child who was rewarded by a teacher.

Kitty who was still standing beside Charles witnessed all their sweet interactions. She was overly fuming inside. When she couldn't take it anymore, she faced Charles. She put on a big smile to hide her fury and said, "Mr. Lu, can we start the game now?"

"Sure," Charles replied in agreement. Then he turned to Sheryl, "Sheryl will play with me."

"No, I will not," Sheryl slightly shook her head. She was not interested in any of the games prepared by Kitty at all. She was also aware that Kitty wouldn't want her to play with them. So if she chose to agree with Charles, Kitty would definitely hate her more.

After casting a glance to both of them, Sheryl found a very good excuse, "I have to accompany Shirley and Charlie in the room."

"David can take care of Shirley and Charlie. Just enjoy your stay here and relax," Charles tried to persuade her. David felt more wronged upon hearing Charles' statement.

He had been very busy the whole afternoon. Now that he got an opportunity to sit down and eat a bunch of roast chicken wrings, Charles suddenly let him watch over the two kids.

But he didn't have any choice. Although he didn't want to, he still pretended to agree on Charles' suggestion and showed pleasure to accompany the two kids. "Yes, I can take care of the kids. Miss Xia, you just enjoy playing with them. Don't worry about Charlie and Shirley."

Sheryl thought that Kitty would also refuse to include her in the games. But to her surprise, Kitty merely laughed ironically and said, "Sheryl, a lot of people are already urging you to join. I hope you are not that mean to continue refusing."

Sheryl suddenly remembered Charles' back injury so she eventually nodded in agreement.

She agreed to join in the games because she wanted to watch over Charles. If Kitty and the other models would go overboard, she could stop them.

Kitty laughed sarcastically when she heard that Sheryl had eventually agreed to play games with them.

The first game arranged by Kitty was just a normal drinking competition. The winner was, of course, Charles. But the loser was Sheryl. The punishment was to swim a lap in the swimming pool.

Sheryl never thought of swimming so she didn't bring any swimsuit with her. And since she was still wearing a tracksuit, if she jumped into the water, the clothes would become transparent and everybody would be able to see through her body.

Worst of all, Sheryl couldn't swim.

Charles also knew that Sheryl couldn't swim. He had actually tried to teach her many times before but she just couldn't learn.

Since Kitty had known Sheryl for quite a long time, obviously she also knew that Sheryl couldn't swim. Did she intentionally prepare this game to hurt Sheryl?

"Sheryl, you must honor a bet. Or are you scared?" Kitty said faintly. She laughed sarcastically seeing that Sheryl was stunned for a long time.

Sheryl was provoked by Kitty's bitter words. Even though she couldn't swim, she still decided to jump into the pool. But Charles immediately seized her arm and asked angrily, "Are you crazy? Do you want to die?"

"I..." Sheryl didn't know what to say. She just stared at Charles not knowing what to do.

Charles cast a cold glance at Kitty and said, "How about this? I'll take the punishment by drinking a bottle of beer so Sheryl doesn't need to jump into the pool. What do you think?"

This suggestion was highly agreeable to Kitty. This was actually their initial plan. She told the other models that she would take care of Sheryl to make sure that she would always lose in the game. That way, they could provoke Charles to drink more for the sake of Sheryl. She knew that Charles would always save Sheryl.

Sheryl glimpsed at Charles and said with utmost concern, "You couldn't drink any more. If you continue to drink..."

Sheryl felt worried about Charles' injury. But Charles merely smiled reassuringly and pacified her, "Don't worry. I can handle this."

Witnessing the two whispering to each other, Kitty felt more upset.

She took a bamboo stick and cut it into a size of a toothpick. Then she said to them, "The next game is more exciting."

She smiled mysteriously and continued, "This game is called Pass The Toothpick. One should pass the toothpick to the next person by mouth. No using of hands or other materials. If one drops the toothpick, he or she must take the punishment. The game won't end until the toothpick is passed to a full a circle. Then the last person should cut the toothpick into half. Then the second round will start, this time with the shorter toothpick. This will make the game even more exciting. Mr. Lu, would you dare play it?"
