Chapter 1190
Vermont grabbed a cherry tomato and stuffed it into her mouth, which would not stop talking. "You don't understand. This iscalled spying. How can we fight without knowing our enemies well?"
Felicity swallowed the cherry tomato. Then, she snorted, "You're just jealous of how much a multi-channel company can make.That's why you want to learn from them and get a piece of the pie, right?’
Vermont smiled and pinched her face. "Oh, tiny brain. How did you become so clever today?”Felicity swatted his hand away. "| know you well enough. You just can't resist money."Vermont scoffed. "That sounds more like your bestie, isn't it?"
Felicity kicked his calf. "Stella loves money, but she'd never betray her friends for it. Unlike you, how many times have youbetrayed Keegan?’
Vermont tried to defend himself. "He wants to learn from the master. Isn't it reasonable for him to pay some tuition fee?""What's there to learn from a person full of scheming ideas like you?"
Vermont smirked. "Any ideas are good as long as they work." He then put a sliced steak on Felicity's plate before adding, "Whyare you here instead of staying with your bestie to protect her? Do you miss me this much?"
Felicity paused as she was caught off guard.
Vermont thought he was right about it as he immediately raised his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "It seems being apartfrom me even for a while is driving you crazy, huh?"
Felicity rolled her eyes at him. ‘Dream on!’ She hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I'm afraid that Stella will beat me up.""Why would she do that?’Vermont was puzzled and only found out what happened after asking Felicity about it.
“You know me. | can never control my mouth. I'm sure that Keegan is confronting Stella about it now. After that, Stella will cometo confront me about it.”novelbin
Felicity smacked her mouth as she spoke.
Vermont immediately grabbed her hand. ’It's better to say it now if Keegan will know about it sooner or later. If he were to find outabout it on his own, something worse would happen, and all of us who know the trouble will also be in trouble."
Felicity still felt very guilty but also somewhat comforted. "Really?" she asked softly.
Vermont wrapped his arm around her shoulders and replied with a smile," There's nothing to be afraid of. I'll always back you upno matter what.’
Felicity finally felt a little at ease. She turned to Vermont as she felt a strange sensation building up inside her. "Vermont." Shecalled him softly.
Vermont was tickled by her voice, but he pretended to be calm. He lowered his gaze and asked, "What is it? Do you think I'mvery hot?"
Felicity chuckled. "How about you become my super-close buddy? What do you think?"
Vermont was dumbfounded. It seemed like he was still in her friendzone despite all his efforts to look like boyfriend material.
He figured there was probably something wrong with his way of pursuing Felicity, which was why she did not have any romanticfeelings toward him. Felicity nudged him with her elbow. "Hey, I'm asking you a question."
Vermont snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at her. Suddenly, he reached out to pinch her chin and said with a smirk, "MissBandit, do you know what you're talking about?”
Felicity paused and was confused.Vermont leaned closer to her ear and whispered, "For straight guys like me, super-close buddy means... fuck buddy."Felicity widened her gaze in shock as her ears turned red. She immediately shoved Vermont away.
Vermont's smirk turned even more mischievous. "This is why you don't want to say things like that to a guy. He might interpret itin a completely different way."
