The True Heiress's Return

Chapter 302

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. Swere puzzled. "Huh? What does that

mean? Did | 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.

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 | 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 sperson? Could it be any more tic?" a

girl asked.

| thought this gwas being, but now | realize my previoup of friends his didn'thow 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 ghad taken a new turn. Everyone casually said something, waiting for it to cback to Berry

and Shakira. for sexciting 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. | remember when that went viral on social media. The first-place winner's last nwas 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"

"|..." 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 gis 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 | be jealous of her?" Xanthe asked.

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

"| 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.

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.
