Chapter 354
“Kayson Yarde.” Desmond smiled. “Kayson Yarde? Nice, you seem pretty chill. You her boyfriend?” Kayson shook
his head. “Nah, we just got to know each other. | did her a favor, so she’s thankingby treatingto a
meal.”
“Oh!” Desmond grinned wider, as though he was happy with the answer. The other two guys smirked at Kayson
as well, mocking him inwardly for turning into a coward once Desmond got angry. Riley looked disdainful but said
nothing. She despised men like this the most. Celeste seemed quite furious as she kept her eyes on Kayson,
looking like she wanted to skin him alive. The spunk seemed to leave her then, as her gaze turned anguished
when she looked at Queenie, appearing all sad and guilty.

Kayson chatted with Desmond as if he had perceived nothing, praising the latter occasionally and humoring the
latter's fantasy of being the coolest.
When the dishes were served in a while, Queenie did not quite have any appetite because she was too worried.
Desmond wanted Queenie to drink, but Kayson said no with the excuse that she was driving and he would drink
on her behalf. This annoyed Desmond, but he said nothing. Riley got up to fetch Queenie a drink, but Celeste
seemed more anxious now, as Queenie could not refuse a non-alcoholic beverage. She cup with an excuse.
“I need to use the restroom. Queenie, cwith me.” There was no way Queenie was missing this chance, so
she replied without skipping a beat,” Perfect. | need to use the restroom as well.”
Unfortunately, Riley cback in tand said right after putting the beverage down, “I'll go
too.”
Celeste and Queenie froze, but there was nothing they could say. Kayson glanced at the drink Riley cback
with after the girls left and kept smiling without saying a word. The three girls cback together after a while.
Once they got seated, Desmond spoke up.” Queenie, let's have a toast. Just drink the non-alcoholic drink.”
Queenie did not look quite as composed as she picked up the beverage to have a drink, but Kayson put a hand
out to stop her.
Desmond asked in displeasure right away, “Kayson, what's the meaning of this? Can't she drink something non-
alcoholic?” “No, she can have nothing.” Kayson smiled. He took the drink and pushed it in front of Riley while
Queenie watched in surprise. Kayson said flatly, “Drink it.”
Desmond and the others lost their composure, while Queenie did not look too good either. She had just realized
that there was something wrong with the drink Riley forced a smile. “What are you trying to say? I'm drinking.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThis non-alcoholic drink is for Queenie.”
Kayson let it slide and raised his voice. “Server!” A server cpromptly and asked, “What can | get you, sir?”
“A can of sweet tea.”
“Sure, please hold on.” Riley looked pissed. “What are you trying to say? You think there's something wrong with
the drink | brought? “I'm high school friends with Queenie and Celeste! Would | harm them?” “Yeah,” Kayson
deadpanned.
Riley was even more pissed as she got up angrily. “Queenie, what's up with this dude? Is he trying to pick a
fight?”
Desmond glowered as well. “Dude, do you think we are fools?”
Kayson shrugged with a smile. “It’s just a drink. Drink it if there's nothing wrong with it. Is that so hard to do?”
