<b>Chapter </b><b>104 </b>
They yed another round, and once again, Roy’s Lebron was executed three times by Sharmaina’s Tristana, ending in delest. This machsted a bit longer–fi minutes
Thoroughly defeated. Rby nanger dared to boast about beating Sharmaine. Right now, he was a little scared.
Roy gave her a thumbs–up and said, “Alright, you win. You’re incredible. You’re my top idol from now on
Roy used to idolize Joshua the most because Joshua was super strong and amazing at everything. But now, Sherinaine became number one, and Joshua dropped to second ce.
Shermaine hadn’t rxed and yed games like this in ages. Still craving more, she wanted to queue up for ranked matches and y a couple more
rounds.
Roy kept chattering, “Man, I was really blind before! Just apologizing and tonight’s arrangements aren’t nearly enough for you to forgive me. <b>How </b>about this? Why don’t you just take me under your <b>wing</b>!”
Shermaine gave him a thoughtful nce. “Seriously?”
Roy felt a chill run down his spine and gulped nervously under Joshua’s invisible pressure.
Henry smacked him on the <b>head</b>. “Let Shermine take you in? What are you thinking?” He smirked. “Or <b>do </b>you want to end up digging potatoes in the middle of nowhere?”
Roy yelped, clutching the back of his head. He hurriedly exined, “I just meant for Shermaine to take me in as her sidekick. She can order me around however <b>she </b><b>wants</b>.” He shot a nervous nce at Joshua and whispered, “Joshua, please don’t get the wrong idea.”
Joshua shot him a cold, measured <b>look</b>. “There won’t be a next time.””
Roy nodded rapidly, like <b>a </b>chick pecking at rice
Subsequently, Joshua’s gaze fell on Sharmaine, burning with the urge to whisk her home and keep her all to himself
Roy’s fawning over Shermaine <b>was </b>just unbearably irritating. It was really getting on my nerves. Yet, Shermaine showed no intention of leaving.
“Well..“Roy peeked at Shermaine, his words trailing off nervously.
Shermaine knew what he was getting at. After a brief pause, <b>she </b>asked, “So, how many followers do you have on social media?”
“Lots and lots! I’ve got over 30 million followers, Ray replied eagerly.
Shermaine said, “Alright”
Roy nearly burst outughing but held it in.
He was so thrilled he could practically float
* But then he remembered Joshua’s presence, so he bit back his excitement.
Roy beamed<b>, </b>his voice full of yful ttery. “<b>Mdy</b>, you’re the best!”
Shermaine just shrugged and <b>said</b><b>, </b>“That’s because you’re useful to me.” With a sidekick who had that many followers, Lity could get help and score some free promo. Pretty sweet deal.
Roy groveled with shameless ttery, saying. Feel free to use me however you want. I’m totally at your service!
Shermaine brushed off his ttery, eyes still glued to the screen. “Ranked?”
bod?” she asked curtly.
<b>1/3 </b>
“Sure<b>, </be ch” Roy felt pecited.
Joshua did his best to restrain his Jealousy.
Green with envy yet unable to Stop Shermalise and Roy from gaming, Joshua returned to his seat. He reached for his ss bus pained, Shermaine’s earlier warning, and reluctantly set it back down,
“Dame, I’d love to game with Shermaine too. Looks like Roy really got a lucky break” Henry’s eyes sparkled with teasing amusement.
Joshua tugged <b>at </b>his cor, <b>his </b>chiseled features tensed. The urge to sweep Shermaine home and keep her all to himself grew more insistent by the <b>second</b>, an unrelenting pulse grawing at him without pause.
Joshua sneered coldly, “A blessing in disguise?”
Henry cleared his throat. Maybe he shouldn’t make Hoy <b>a </b>target, or <b>Joshua </b>might take notice. He was all refined manners on the surface but ruthless underneath, a real wolf in sheep’s clothing, Joshua’s possessiveness over Shermine was downright scary, and Roy was no match for him.
Shermaine and Roy yed two ranked matches together, Roy was already Ster Hunter, while Shermaine, ahera long break, was only in Diamon their opponents were still formidable.
Little did their opponents know, they were up against King, the former top-ranked yer, and Roy, the world’s best jungler. Together, this formidable <b>duo </b>dominated every match.
Afterwards, they
by went out together for somete–night snacks.
The feast wasvish and delicious.
ording to Roy, he’d hired several renowned Michelin starred chefs to prepare this feast, all just to make it up to her.
Tasty as thete–night snacks were, they couldn’tpare to Joshua’s cooking earlier that day. While good, they weren’t exactly unforgettable.
It was almost 11 p.m. when the so–called apology dinner finally wrapped up
Roy pointed at the two gorgeous bouquets on the table. Grinning, he asked, “Want to take <b>these </b>flowers with you?”
Shermaine <b>said </b>tly, “Just deal with them. There’s too much hassle to bring them back.”
“Got it!” Roy replied with exaggerated cheer. “Just hit me up on WhatsApp anytime you need me.”
As they stepped out of the room, Shermaine remembered Joshua’s condition and said, “Come with me. I’ll drive you home.”
“Perfect timing.” Joshua thought with a smirk. There was no way he would turn down such a golden opportunity.
With snow on the roads, Shermaine <b>drove </b>carefully.
Joshua sat in the passenger seat, eyes closed, resting.
Before long, the car pulled into the garage. Shermajhe turned her head and called Joshua’s name, but there was no response.
Was he asleep?
Sharmaine got out and opened the passenger door. <b>Just </b>as she reached to tap his shoulder, Joshua seized her hand. With a swift te pulled her against him.
A subtle hint of tobo instantly wrapped her up.
