CHAPTER 338: CHAPTER 338: TRUTH OR DARE

Hugo Quinn saw that she was knitting something in her hands, so he didn’t say anything else, but his gaze kept flicking over from time to time.

Eleanor Hollis knitted the scarf quickly, and since she wasn’t doing anything else these days, she focused on knitting one scarf, finishing it within a week.

On the first day the scarf was completed, it happened to snow outside again.

It’s said that this is the coldest winter in Serenford, with the roads completely frozen over, and there are always cleaners clearing the ice.

In the evening, Hugo Quinn wore the scarf out.

After all, it was her first time knitting a scarf, so some parts weren’t handled well, but Hugo didn’t mind at all and boldly went to meet up with Evan Yancy and the others.

As the year-end approaches, most of the work on their hands has been mostly finished, so recently everyone has more free time, even Julian Sterling isn’t so busy anymore.

"Is this the scarf Eleanor Hollis knitted for you?"

As soon as Hugo walked in, Jude Shaw asked with a sarcastic tone, his eyes full of jealousy.

He didn’t have a girlfriend, or even a hint of female romantic interest; nobody would knit a scarf for him, especially in this era when they only wear high-end brands, and women probably wouldn’t think of knitting a scarf for them.

That’s exactly the point Hugo was smug about.

Hugo happily sat down on the side, occasionally fiddling with his scarf.

"I told her not to knit it. In this day and age, who still wears hand-knitted scarves, but she didn’t listen, so I reluctantly wore it."

Even though his face was full of pride, he insisted on speaking in such a reluctant manner, which annoyed the others.

"Could you step outside? You’re hurting our eyes."

Jude was a bit frustrated, as he was the only one among them who hadn’t been in a relationship.

Hugo smiled and didn’t say anything more. He just came tonight to show off his scarf.

Admittedly, they were all a bit jealous, especially Evan Yancy. When he saw the scarf, he suddenly wanted Samantha Sullivan to knit one for him. However, Samantha hadn’t fully recovered these days and had been having nightmares, so he couldn’t bring himself to ask.

The group chatted about various topics and sang songs like they usually did, marking the end of the night.

However, Jude insisted on going for a late-night snack and nudged Hugo, asking him to call Eleanor Hollis out.

They rarely went for late-night snacks together, let alone to such a roadside stall, which their status wouldn’t permit.

But as long as they wore hats at night, it would be okay.

Jude was the youngest in the group, and everyone usually let him have his way, so this time they all agreed.

Hugo immediately called Eleanor Hollis and set a location.

Eleanor Hollis couldn’t resist when she heard she’d be eating with Best Actor Sterling, so she immediately dropped her yarn and rushed over.

This time, Jude chose a barbecue stall that was usually quite popular, and tonight there were a lot of people sitting around it.

Eleanor Hollis was a bit surprised when she found out the location was here.

Any one of these guys could just casually outshine others in status, so why would they come here to eat barbecue?

"Best Actor Sterling, can I invite Gloria too? She loves this kind of food."

In the spirit of looking out for her friend, Eleanor Hollis didn’t forget Gloria Galloway.

The guys nodded and didn’t mind.

When Gloria Galloway was on her way here, her heart was pounding hard. She was actually going to eat barbecue with Julian Sterling? In the past, she wouldn’t have even dared to think about it.

She calmed her emotions before walking over to sit next to Eleanor Hollis.

Everyone was having a good time eating, but they attracted the attention of quite a few girls due to their attractive appearances.

There was even a table next to them playing a game of truth or dare.

Soon, a girl stood in front of Julian Sterling.

"Hey handsome, I lost a dare, can I give you a hug?"

The girl’s face was full of shyness, and although Julian Sterling was wearing a scarf and hat, his extraordinary demeanor was eye-catching.

To Gloria Galloway’s left was Eleanor Hollis, and to her right was Julian Sterling. Hearing the girl’s request, she instantly felt unhappy.

But considering her relationship with Julian Sterling, she pressed her lips together and said nothing, knowing she had no standing to intervene.

The girl was cute and had a nice figure, watching Julian without blinking.

Julian didn’t lift his head, fearing being recognized, and covered his chin with his scarf before standing up.

"Sure."

The girl’s eyes lit up, she quickly hugged him, and then bounced back to her own table.

Gloria Galloway felt a bitter taste in her mouth; any random girl could hug him so easily, yet she, having worked closely with him all this time, never had the chance.

If only she could be a bit bolder, or like that girl just now...

Her mind started wandering, and she accidentally dropped her chopsticks to the ground.

"Sorry."

She noticed the oil from the chopsticks splattered on Julian Sterling’s clothes and hurriedly grabbed a napkin to wipe it off.

Julian Sterling frowned but didn’t speak.

The atmosphere was a bit tense, but soon another girl from the next table came over to stand in front of Hugo Quinn.

This time it was Eleanor Hollis who felt uncomfortable. What was with these girls nowadays, always liking to bother good-looking guys?

"Hey handsome, I have something to tell you, is that okay?"

Hugo was in a good mood tonight, and since the girl only wanted to say something, he didn’t mind. He glanced at Eleanor to see she didn’t seem upset, so he replied.

"What is it?"

"I like you."

The girl said shyly, with a blush on her face.

Hugo’s body stiffened; he was wearing a hat that covered him completely, so what did this girl like about him?

"Were you also doing a dare?"

This game was really boring, and approaching strangers was a bit awkward.

"But I chose truth."

After the girl said this, Jude burst into laughter. Was Hugo just hit on?

And it was by some young girl?

The girl stood there without leaving, and had even started to stretch a leg towards Hugo.

At that moment, Eleanor Hollis was furious and pushed her back a little.

"Miss, please control your leg and your heart."

Enough was enough. Here she was, a living person sitting next to Hugo and being close with him, yet this girl was blind?

"Sorry, I’m already married."

Seeing Eleanor got angry, Hugo quickly said, deciding not to engage with the girl anymore.

The girl, knowing she was at fault, casually brushed it off, trying to save face. However, no one at the table acknowledged her anymore.

Feeling embarrassed, she quickly made an excuse and left.
