Chuck looked surprised. The smile on his face did not decrease, but there was a hint of yfulness as if he was pondering something.

    Without caring what he was thinking, I said directly, “If you feel hesitant, then forget it.”

    “Well.” Heughed dryly. “What’s there to be hesitant about? Even if you wanted me, I would dly agree, let alone one thing.”

    These words were a bit inappropriate, but before I could say anything, Oscar coughed twice to remind him.

    “Aha,” Chuckughed evilly and gestured to me. “Zoe, you go first.”

    I didn’t want to deal with this person. Since he asked me to go first, I decided to fight quickly.

    Hence, I held onto the pole in my hand and cleared the table without giving him a chance.

    Chuck did not look like he had lost in the first set. He even took the lead to p. “As expected of Oscar’s friend. You do have some skills. I admit defeat, but you should also let me show you what I’m capable of, right?” Chuck said as he gestured to the girl beside him and let her rearrange the pool ball.

    He took the cue and quickly cleared the table. He was as expected of someone who had won the championship. The entire process was faster than me by

    a minute.

    I was not stingy with my apuse. “Mr. Langston, you’re better than me.”

    “ording to the rules we agreed on, you still won. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?” Chuck narrowed his eyes at me.

    I took a deep breath. “I want to meet your father, Mr. Brannon Langston.”

    A hint of gloom appeared in the depths of Chuck’s eyes. He must have wanted to know why, so I said directly, “I have something that I want him to appraise for me.”

    Chuck’s furrowed brow loosened slightly. “Oh, is it a treasure?”

    “No,” I denied but didn’t say what it was.

    Chuck was a clever person and did not ask further. He was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Alright, I can bring you to meet him, but…”

    He stopped and looked at Oscar. Then he looked at me. “My father isn’t in good health right now and doesn’t see outsiders.”

    This meant that even if he brought me there, I might not be able to see his father.

    I pondered about his words and immediately understood that he was setting me up. But I couldn’t fall into that trap.

    Hence, I revealed a regretful expression. “In that case, forget it.”

    I wasn’t afraid that my efforts would be in vain because I had already piqued his interest. He wanted to know what I wanted his father to see.

    Chuck revealed a surprised expression again. It was apparent that he was surprised that I didn’t fall into his trap.

    He looked at me for a few seconds and sneered. “Girl, you’re not simple.” He also understood my tactic of pretending indifference to make him more

    eager.

    However, I couldn’t admit it. I said, “I don’t like to force people.”

    “But I like to help others achieve their goals.” Chuck agreed.

    I heaved a sigh of relief. Chuck gestured to the girl beside him and said, “Zoe, how about we y a few rounds?”

    I knew I had aroused hispetitive desire when I cleared the table with one shot.

    At this moment, I couldn’t dampen his spirits. Moreover, I had to satisfy his desire to win, so I agreed and yed with him.

    I only won one of the five rounds, making him feel the joy of victory again.

    “Zoe, you’re going easy on me because you look down on me,” he reminded me before we ended the game.

    “No, it’s because you’re better. As you can see, I’m just an amateur yer,” I said humbly.

    “Even amateur yers are taught by experts, but ording to your ying style, it doesn’t look like you learned it from Oscar. Who taught you?” Chuck asked, I didn’t expect him to ask this.
