Chapter 201
The Billionaire’s Maid Bride
Everyone glanced around. The refined looking girl sitting to Allisonâs left explained, âIn this game weâre playing, this deck has a pair of Ace of Hearts among its 40 cards. If you draw one, you have to kiss the other person who drew the other Ace of Hearts for two minutes.â
Allison was dumbfounded. A twoâminute kiss?
She glanced at Nathalie, whose grin let her know that Nathalie must have known all along that the card was the Ace of Hearts. As a friend of Penelope, Nathalie clearly set up this trap for Allison Allison responded, âI didnât know the rules, and I donât want to play your game.â
Nathalieâs eyes widened âHey, Allison, youâre not thinking of backing out, are you? No problem, you can just take a drink instead,â she said, clapping her hands.
Then another of Penelopeâs friends, Sabina, came over with two bottles of wine. âJust finish these two bottles.â
There was no way a girl could finish two bottles of wine. It was an insane challenge..
A socialite chimed in. âWhy drink? Allison, youâre just a maid. Weâre all rich and powerful, we donât mind taking a hit, but you, a maid, are being pickyâ
âIâm not.â She just didnât like this game.
Penelope smiled and said, âYeah, Allison, you wonât be at a disadvantage.â
A socialite sitting on the other side of Penelope grinned and said, âYeah, weâre the ones at a disadvantage: Who would want to kiss a maid? Itâs just degradingâ
âI wouldnât mind at all, actually,â a rich young man said, flipping over his card to reveal the King of Spades. He sighed in disappointment.
One after another, people revealed their cards. Kamilla did the same.
âThis isnât fair.â
âMs. Lindbergh, thatâs not quite right. Allison drew the card herself.â
Nathalie, Sabina, and others put their cards on the table. Penelope did the same.
Everyone was increasingly curious about who had the other Ace of Hearts.
Most people had revealed their cards. Nathalie turned to Terry and asked, âTerry, whatâs your card?â
Terry held his card in hand, wanting to build suspense. âTake a guess.â
Sabina giggled, âTerry, itâs not you, is it? Then youâd have to kiss Allison for two minutes.â
Laughter erupted.
âI wish,â Terry replied, grinning and glancing at Allison. He, too, was disappointed. Why couldnât it be him?
Everyone was getting curious. If it wasnât Terry, then who was it? Was there anyone left who hadnât shown their card?
âWho hasnât revealed their card yet?â Everyone was on the edge of their seats.
Penelope scanned the group, her gaze landing on a man next to her. âLucian.â
Everyoneâs attention was immediately drawn to her.
Allison clamped her lips shut. Could it be him, Lucian?
She looked at the man, who seemed indifferent. He spread his card on the table, and sure enough, it was the Ace of Hearts.
Penelopeâs face instantly stiffened.
She glared at Nathalie That idiot was nothing but trouble!
Nathalie hadnât expected this either. The Ace of Hearts wasnât in Terryâs hand, but in Lucianâs!
