PAMPERED

CHAPTER 362



362 Should we sneak out?

“One… two… three!”

“AH!”

SPLASH!

Penny and Ginnie stayed at the bar near the pool, watching as the boys threw Ray into the pool. However, instead of stopping there, someone pushed the captain into the pool. Subsequently, the captain reached out for anything he could grab and held onto Hugo, pulling him in as well.

Once the captain and Hugo resurfaced, everyone already knew this was going to be a war. And they were right because Hugo and the captain stormed out of the pool, only to chase everyone down and toss them in lik

sacks of waste. 1

“I can’t believe he’s going to get married,” Ginnie shook her head, watching this unfold right before their eyes. “Even now, I’m not sure if this is childish or if he’s just that petty.”

Penny chuckled. “They’re having fun,” she said, casting Ginnie a knowing look. “It’s rare for them to get together, isn’t it? I mean, the team always trains together, and they’re probably sick of seeing each other’s faces. But today, everyone he’s close with is all together.

Although there was a huge fight between Hugo and Max, it was resolved for the captain’s sake.

“What’s up with Max?”

she asked out of plain curiosity, watching her brother de No

straight into the pool. “Still not friendly with everyone?” (1

“Do you think they have a good relationship after witnessing all of that?”

“No, but he seemed close to the captain. Considering his personality, I thought their friendship was that strong for him to come to a place when he knows he’s not welcomed by many.”

Ginnie pressed her lips and smiled. “Well, they’ve been friends. The captain still plays with him.”

plays with him?”

“Mhm. Even though Max stopped playing soon after that game during the foundation week, he didn’t really stop playing. Or so the captain told me,” Ginnie shrugged. “They still play together. From what the captain told me, Max loved basketball more than anything. However, he is an only son and the sole heir of their family. So, the pressure from his family is higher than one would

ever expect.”

Ginnie then faced Penny again with a smile. “That’s why he had to quit. Although now that he is established, he bought another major league that made their stocks skyrocket as well. He still loves basketball.

“Oh

“It’s crazy, isn’t it?

*Mhm Penny hummed and nodded. “We really have no idea what’s going on in another person’s

life”

362 Should we sneak out?

“Why did he tell you?”

“I caught him.” She grinned. “So, he had to explain it to me. Otherwise, I would’ve thought he was being poached by Max.”

“Haha.”

“Don’t tell this to anybody, though.”

“It’s not like I am planning to say this to anyone.”

Ginnie smiled and raised her glass to toast with her. “Cheers?”

“Cheers.”

After the soft clink of their glasses, they quietly enjoyed their drinks and watched the ongoing chaos in the pool. The corners of their lips hooked up, shaking their heads.

“They’re not going to kill themselves, are they?” Penny remarked, her eyes on the boys.

“They better go straight to rest, Ginnie replied, nodding. “Otherwise, I’d hurt them really bad if they end up with an injury and can’t play

Penny’s brows twitched as she cast Ginnie a sidelong glance. “Where is my friend, Ginnie?” Because this Ginnie was scary!

Ginnie and Penny talked about the most trivial things they could think of. Since they were better off without those boys, they used their time together catching up over a few drinks. Before Penny knew it, her world was spinning.

“Oh, wow! Penny widened her eyes, trying to see clearer. “Second Brother, I didn’t know there’s new technology for cars, and it’s splitting in two… or was it four?”

She then turned her head to where Hugo was seated. Currently, Hugo had called for a hired. driver because the two of them ended up drinking and, thus, couldn’t drive.

The space between her brows creased while looking at him. “There’s also two of you,” she mumbled while he blinked at her ever so slowly.

Penny, are you drunk?”

“Second Brother, do you have amnesia?”

“Right.” He nodded. “That’s why we hired a driver to drive us home.”

“Oh, so you don’t have amnesia. She also nodded. “Good for us.”

“Penny, if I have amnesia, you can treat me, right?”

“Uh–huh.

“How?

She batted her eyes. “I have a drug for it.”

382 Should we sneak out? ”

“Mhm. But I can’t say more because it’s still in trial.” She smiled. “It’s a secret, Second Brother. Don’t tell anyone.”

Hugo smiled, his face red. “Of course. What the hell is in that drink they gave us? I can hold my liquor, but I feel sleepy”

“Don’t sleep,” she said. “If you sleep, this driver might be an enemy, and we might wake up in the middle of nowhere.”

“Haha. Don’t worry. I’m not drunk; I’m tipsy.”

“Me too.” She giggled.

“No, you are drunk.”

“Hehe. Yeah, I think I am.” And they both laughed… and laughed more until they eventually reached home. 2

“Welcome…”

“Butler Jen-!” Penny jumped out of the car and beamed, running with her arms spread open.

“Butler Jen, I’m home!”

Butler Jen froze the moment she threw herself on him, hugging him tightly. “Miss Penny?”

“Hehe. Butler Jen, I’m always… always thankful that you’re here!” Penny expressed through her giggles. “And I always pray that you live a very looooong life”

“Miss Penny,” Butler Jen’s face softened, snapping his eyes to Hugo, whose face was also just as red as hers. “Second Master. It seems you had fun.”

Hugo smiled. “We did. Hey, Penny, let go of Butler Jen now.”

“Okay,” Penny released Butler Jen and grinned. “Goodnight, Butler Jen.”

“Goodnight, Miss Penny”

Having said that, Penny skipped her way in and called, “Chunchun? I’m home-!”

Watching her made Butler Jen chuckle. “Miss Penny is sweet and cute when drunk” He then turned to Hugo and humbly nodded. “Second Master, do you want some warm soup?”

“Yes, please.” Hugo smiled while Butler Jen entered. His smile, however, dissipated as he looked back at the driver walking away down the driveway.

“Chunchun-!” Penny happily jumped on the bed and hugged Chunchun like a bear, “Chunchun, I missed you so much today-!”

Penny buried her face in Chunchun’s body, rubbing her face from left to right. Chunchun, on the other hand, purred but didn’t struggle anymore. Chunchun was used to it or rather, she was used to Penny’s shower of affection.

362 Should we sneak out?

“So soft… so fluffy…” Penny giggled before she drew her head back from her cat. Her lips stretched from ear to ear. “Chunchun, do you know Blacky, your brother, is very big?”

Chunchun purred, making Penny grin even more.

“Today’s Thursday” she said, her eyes soft with a tinge of sadness. “Should we… sneak out? Hehe. I really missed him.” 2
