Ben did not waver despite hearing every word they said, and even felt amused. Elyette might not lose even if they were to show him R-rated videos.
Jun walked towards Tammy and Averie, before explaining, “I can’t refuse Ben when he asked for the location. He is my senior… Ben didn’t mention that Elyette would be here, but even if he did, I would welcome them!”
Tammy glared at him. “What’s the point of explaining when you’ve already gone and done it?”
Jun cast her a flattering smile. “I was scared that you two would be mad, especially2a Averie….”
“They are your friends. It’s normal that you invite them here. I’m fine,” Averie said.
Gratitude filled Jun’s face. “You are so understanding , Averie! Seriously though, I wasn’t the one who invited them. They wanted to come.”
Naturally, Jun couldn’t tell the truth about taking a photo of Averie in secret; otherwise, it would expose the fact that he was the reason why Ben and Elyette had decided to come.
Tammy looked over at Elyette coldly.
It was obvious that Elyette had come for Averie; he wouldn’t have come if Averie wasn’t here.
“You two should go sit on the couch! Don’t you feel tired standing here?” Jun said.
“Averie doesn’t want to sit there.” Tammy had tried to lead Averie to sit on the side of the couch, but she refused to. Because Elyette was on the couch, Averie walked over to somewhere where Elyette couldn’t see her.
“Alright, I will move two chairs over for you, then.” Jun hurried over to bring chairs over to them.
Once the two sat down, Tammy leaned towards Averie and whispered, “I saw your heart rate going up to a hundred just now during the challenge. Hahaha! You are attracted!”
Averie had completely regained her composure and responded calmly, “it’s still within the normal range as long as it is within a hundred.”
Tammy felt like Averie was making an excuse. “If only Elyette hadn’t barged in just now, your heart rate is definitely going to be above a hundred!”
“It doesn’t matter. It didn’t go above a hundred in the end.”
“Haha! Averie, can you be falling for Eric? He seems pretty obedient towards you, so he will surely spoil you rotten if you are willing to let him!”
Averie cringed at her words.
“I’ll admit that I admire him. I also like his face, but that has nothing to do with romance. Aren’t you his fan as well? Does that mean that you don’t love Jun? Don’t make that kind of joke again, I don’t want to have my face on the news for being involved in scandals.”
Tammy nodded awkwardly.
Soon, Lisa and the others had gathered the videos and Elyette’s challenge was about to start.
“Averie, do you think he’s going to lose?” Tammy asked.
“I don’t know.”
Just then, the scene of a couple kissing on bed appeared on the big screen and Averie blushed. She couldn’t imagine Elyette’s reaction to the video.
Averie awkwardly took out her phone to focus on something else.
Ben glanced at the screen and lowered his gaze to look for any change to Elyette’s heart rate.
‘Good for him! His heart rate is as steady as a rock!’ He thought. Ben even started to suspect if there was something wrong with the monitor, or Elyette had truly overcome all urges.
Jun, too, was staring at the heart rate monitor around Elyette’s wrist and said, “the monitor should be fine. The number was moving when Averie was wearing it just now.”
“How did Averie do on the challenge?” Ben asked.
Jun glanced at Averie; Averie was expressionless, but Tammy was staring daggers at him. He looked away and said, “she won. The monitor will ring if the heart rate is too high, but I didn’t hear anything when she was playing.”
Ben hummed in response and looked over at Averie.
Averie lowered her head and was looking at her phone, clearly trying to avoid them.
The first video ended and the second one began with a mature-looking beauty posing in front of the camera in sexy outfits. Everything, including her expression and body language, was seductive.
Someone catcalled in excitement, while some other people peeped at Elyette to observe hisza reaction.
Elyette scowled sternly. Despite the fact that he was watching a video of a beautiful woman, his expression looked as though he was attending someone’s funeral.
His heart rate was affected slightly, on the other hand, as he was still human, but there was barely a change and was most likely only the result of him breathing faster.
“He doesn’t seem to like women! Show him hot guys!” Lisa had been paying close attention to Elyette’s reaction and shouted to the person controlling the screen when she noticed that Elyette was not reacting in any way.
Soon, the face of a handsome foreign man appeared on screen. Not only did the man have silky, golden locks, but he also had strong muscles…
Elyette’s expression turned from stern to dark, because he immediately associated what he saw with Mike’s face.
Lisa felt defeated at the way Elyette frowned, because it was obvious that he didn’t like men either.
“Show that video that’s labeled ‘must watch for macho men…”
A few seconds later, a chubby baby face appeared on screen.
The group burst out laughing; most of them being men.
‘See? Guys like to watch babies,” Lisa thought and glanced at Elyette.
Elyette’s brows were no longer furrowed as tightly, but his heart rate remained steady at around eighty without the number increasing by five or less.
Ben sat beside him and chuckled smugly while looking at the video of the baby on the screen.” This game isn’t challenging at all!”
Lisa had already admitted defeat in her mind, but still didn’t want to give up.
“I’ve never seen a man who’s not interested in anything.”
“Why else do you think he’s successful? It’s because he’s only interested in money.”
“Alright! But the game is not over yet! I won’t admit defeat just yet!”
Another round of videos of kissing scenes and sex scenes started on screen, when suddenly, Averie was being pushed over to Elyette.
“…” Rendered speechless, Averie thought, ‘has Tammy gone mad?! How can she push me towards Elyette?’
Elyette gaped at the woman next to him.
He had only gotten to take one look at Averie from afar when he first entered the mansion. She was smiling at first, but the smile on her face disappeared the moment she saw him. By the time he sat down on the couch, Averie had already moved out of his sight quietly.
Now that she was sitting beside him, Elyette could see how slim her face was as well as the panic in her eyes.
‘She has slimmed down so much!’ He thought.
Averie seemed to have lost he edge and became extremely fragile, to the point that he felt as though he could crush her with just one hand.
She met his eyes for a brief moment, before trying to get up and leave.
Elyette immediately grabbed onto her wrist and refused to let her go.
Everyone else in the room watched the drama unfolded with anticipation. All of Jun and Tammy’s friends knew that Elyette and Averie were once in a romantic relationship, and they couldn’t help but feel excited when they saw the way the two interacted with one another.
