Chapter 569: Chapter 563: Undercurrent

“What’s with the all-nighters?” It’s not that Finn Lewis didn’t care about them, but he had been so busy lately. Plus, these guys had just joined his company and were on the rise in their careers. Each of them belonged to the type of hard-working individuals, so sometimes when Finn asked them out for dinner, they would not show up.

“You’d have to ask her about that.” Peak Blair pointed, somewhat vexed, at Emily Lewis—who was standing not far behind Finn—and said.

“Ask her what?” Finn was a little confused. He turned around and looked at Emily and then at Blair.

“What else could it be? She’s his younger sister, and now she’s with Mr. Humphrey.” Blair shrugged and said.

“I didn’t know about that. She never tells me anything from her childhood. But what do you mean by that? Are you saying my sister’s not good enough for him?” Emily glared at Blair.

“No, no, that’s not what I mean. What I want to say is, Emily, do you have any other sisters? Would you consider introducing them to us loners?” Blair quickly replied, pointing to the rest of the gang.

“I don’t know. I don’t know anything.” Fishy’s face turned slightly red. Without saying a word, she quickly walked upstairs. She soon caught up with Emma and Kay, leaving the puzzled Finn behind.

Out of the blue, Blair and the others, who had somehow ended up on the second-floor of the cruise ship, were also bewildered. Blair asked Emily in a low voice, “Are you sure we got it right?”

“Of course I’m sure... But I don’t know about this either.” Emily, too, was baffled. She had inadvertently stumbled upon the relationship between Finn and Emma while shopping. As for who Fishy was, Emily and the others knew very well. The fact that they didn’t know Finn’s secret could be brushed off as a coincidence.

So later, Emily learned about some things, but she couldn’t quite grasp the dynamic that day. “No matter what we do or don’t know, let’s pretend we’re unaware of today’s events. Let’s go down. If we don’t show up, we’ll seem abnormal,” Scholar Lewis said after some thought.

Finn was utterly confused, and once he got on the boat, they immediately set sail. Finn had intended to ask Olivia Thatcher, who, even if she didn’t know everything, should know the general situation. But after long consideration, he didn’t ask. Since Emma and the others weren’t telling, Finn thought it best not to ask. It was certainly better than fretting over how to introduce them to each other.

As Blair and his gang descended from above, the atmosphere on board enlivened. After a brief period of familiarizing, everyone began having fun. This felt like a vacation, which Finn had never had with his close friends before. This was the first time they were going to enjoy the southernmost scenery of Floral Island.

Happiness is always fleeting. It was soon evening, and after playing for an entire day, everyone was tired. They all returned to their rooms to rest. But Finn didn’t have a place to sleep. Kay had gone to Emma’s room, and though Fishy had a room to herself, he couldn’t possible sleep in her room. In the end, he had a room all to himself.
