The True Heiress's Return

As soon as she said that, a cold gleam flickered in Shakira's eyes Berry's self-revealing words shocked everyone present.

"Call Brian in the middle of the night? Even the top executives won't dare to do that, one said.

"How could the top executives be like Berry? They contact Brian for business reasons, while Berry must have private matters," a girl said.

Those who were in the loop exchanged knowing glances and smiled. Some were puzzled. "Huh? What does that mean? Did I miss something?" "You didn't know? Berry is..." the girl said.

As everyone started making various assumptions, Berry's face flushed, and she quickly interrupted in a clear voice, "Let's concentrate on playing the game, okay? I'm ready to go all out to avoid getting a punishment." "Yeah, yeah. We haven't done what you did. We all have to fold down a finger, huh?" Others flattered Berry.

Berry's face showed growing arrogance. She unconsciously glanced at Shakira, noticing she seemed unbothered, and Berry secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xanthe was still confused. "Wait, are you saying that people in the Lopez Group are so snobbish? Just because she called Brian and now she gets so much attention?"

Shakira softly reminded, "Those girls are from Norpa, not the Lopez Group."

Xanthe said, "I knew it. They're so inexperienced." She knew it wasn't the right place to make a scene, so she dared to whisper softly into Shakira's ear.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Shakira was noncommittal, and after Berry, the other two girls also shared their stories. Then it was Xanthe's turn. She said, "I once lost over 1200 thousand dollars in a day in La Vido."

The table went silent as everyone quietly folded down their fingers. No one had that kind of loss. Xanthe, cheerful, signaled that it was now Shakira's turn.

Berry was anxious and unsure if Shakira would mimic her and mention something about her relationship with Mr. Lopez.

Shakira's gaze coldly swept over Berry, who had unconsciously bitten her lower lip. She spoke slowly, "I've come first in my grade three times at Crescentville University."

Everyone gasped, nervously folding down their fingers. Being first in the grade was good enough, and three times was impressive. Berry let out a big sigh of relief as long as Shakira didn't mention Mr. Lopez.

"Berry, it's your turn." A group of girls eagerly waited to hear Berry spill the gossip; they were more excited than anyone else. Berry thought for a moment, blushing a bit. "There's someone I like on the top floor of the Lopez Group building." Once again, Berry's revelation sent everyone into a cheering frenzy.

"Who could it be? There are only a few guys who work on the top floor," a girl said.

"Who else could it be, but..." another girl said.

"Wait. Shakira, why didn't you fold down your finger?" someone noticed keenly, pointing out the obvious. Berry tensed up. Unlike Berry's act of innocence, Shakira openly admitted, "The person I like is on the top floor too." "Wow! Also on the top floor? Could it be that you both like the same person? Could it be any more dramatic?" a girl asked.

I thought this game was being, but now I realize my previoup of friends his didn't me how to play This is incredibly exciting another ghi said.

Shakira just sandled without saving anything, while Berry stood there with a stiff smile. She was almost terrified after blurting out without thinking, giving Shakira a chance to take advantage Xanthe picked up on the implication and started to get angry. Berry out of her mind? What does the even mean? The person she's talking about couldn't possibly be Mr. Lopez, could n Shakira didn't care. Whatever."

"Yeah, let her say whatever. Mr. Lopez would never like her anyway. But this is so irritating, Xanthe rolled up her sleeves in frustration.

As the hubbub grew, quite a few colleagues gathered around. After learning about the whole story, everyone looked at Berry with eyes full of curiosity and something more meaningful.

By now, the game had taken a new turn. Everyone casually said something, waiting for it to come back to Berry and Shakira. for some exciting news.

This time, it was Shakira's turn again. She looked at ease and said, "I won first place in the Yonder Digital design competition."

"What? You're the designer who got copied but still managed to succeed?" one man asked.

"Wow. I remember when that went viral on social media. The first-place winner's last name was Nelson, and that was you," a girl said.

"Oh my goodness, Shakira! What else are you the top in? Just tell us everything all at once so you can win the game," another girl asked.

Shakira didn't respond and calmly stared at Berry, "It's your turn"

"I..." Berry stammered.

Xanthe couldn't tolerate Berry's pretense anymore and impulsively said, "Just tell us whatever you know about the top floor already. This game is just an excuse for you to latch onto that person's fame." Berry shivered suddenly. "I didn't."

A few girls from the Norpa immediately stood up for her. "What are you doing? Berry hanging out with the top floor guy is making you jealous?"

"Huh? Why would I be jealous of her?" Xanthe asked.

Xanthe felt like laughing at this and lifted her chin arrogantly.

"I would be too embarrassed to even mention those two things she talked about. Playing this game, she wants others to know about her relationship with the top-floor guy. What does it have to do with me?" Xanthe said.

A few girls wanted to argue back, but after carefully thinking about what Xanthe said, they were left speechless and began to feel that Xanthe might actually have a point.

In the game, everyone talked about their own business, but Berry kept hinting at her "close relationship" with Mr. Lopez. When the girls looked at her curiously, Berry panicked right away.

"I just didn't want to lose and get punished. I wasn't sure if I could say this, but if it made you unhappy, I apologize," she quickly said.

Berry acted like she wasdeeply wronged, then got up hurriedly and stumbled away, looking very upset. The girls felt guilty.

"Great, you pissed Berry off. Happy now?" a girl asked.

"I'm not playing anymore. It's just no fun," another girl said.

Berry ran off in a panic, so there wasn't any gossip to watch, and everyone scattered. Xanthe snorted, "She tries to be sneaky right under my nose. It won't happen." Shakira laughed and shook her head, sipping some drinks.

Just then, they heard a noise not too far away. Rachel and Larryqueezed through the crowd and sat down next to them. Xanthe stretched her neck curiously. "What's happening over there? It got lively all of a sudden."

Larry handed a tissue to Rachel to wipe away the sweat. "Benji and Mr. White are coming, so everyone is going over to toast with them."

Just as he finished speaking, Shakira's phone vibrated. Benji sent a message: [Shakira, help me!]
