"What happened to the two of you?" Marcus asked them quizzically. He assessed them from top to bottom. Their suits looked messy as well.
He heard John and Lester curse angrily as they recalled what happened a while ago.
They encountered a guy whom they didn't know. He was rushing to the Queen's Hall. John and Lester blocked his way. They had to stop him as they didn't want him to interrupt Marcus and Sophia or else, their plan would fail.
Jade and the other girls would be disappointed with them if that would happen.
But the man they tried to stop was so strong. It seemed like he was a trained fighter. Even if they joined together to stop him, they failed as they were beaten up by that man.
They had no idea that the man whom they were fighting was a former Karate, Taekwondo, and Arnis athlete during his college years.
He attacked them simultaneously, not giving them a chance to retaliate. He looked like a mad man, beating everyone who would try to stop him.
He was really pissed off. He vented his anger and frustration on them. They could still feel the aching of their bodies.
He didn't hesitate to punch and ruin their faces as well. They received several blows and hits on their faces. They tried to fight back but ended up being defeated.
While they were busy enduring the pain he inflicted on them, Matthew left them lying on the ground as he dashed toward the Queen's Hall to find Sophia.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe already wasted more time fighting those two. Saving Sophia was his main priority.
When John and Lester recovered from the pain, they stood up to follow him. Then they saw the man carrying Sophia in his arms.
They were curious about what happened. They wondered if Marcus succeeded on his mission or not. They immediately walked over to check on him.
After telling Marcus about what happened to them, it was their turn to ask him.
"What happened? Did you succeed? Did you sleep with Sophia before that guy appeared?" John asked Marcus expectantly.
Marcus shot them a cold sharp glare. Instead of answering John, he confronted them.
Holding John on his collar, Marcus asked him with his eyes filled with fury. "Did you mix drugs on our drink? Did you do it?"
John and Lester were both stunned by Marcus's sudden outburst. They didn't expect that he would react like this after knowing the truth.
"Hey, calm down, Bro!" Lester approached them, trying to separate the two.
Marcus released John's collar, but his eyes were still bloodshot as he looked at them.
"What have you done? This is not included with our bet? Whose idea was this? Who thinks of drugging Sophia? Tell me!" Marcus yelled at them, demanding an answer.
John and Lester exchanged meaningful glances with each other, wondering how Marcus learned about this.
"Answer. Me!" Marcus repeated with his angry tone.
"Marcus, don't be mad, buddy. We just did it for your own sake. We thought that if she's under the influence of a drug, then she would easily respond to you. And she couldn't say no," John explained to Marcus.
He didn't mention that this was the idea of Jade and her friends. John and Lester decided to cover up for them.
Marcus looked at them with disbelief. He wanted to beat them also for doing that. He didn't ask for this but they still did it behind his back.
Marcus's guilt for Sophia intensified. He was fooled and deceived by his own friends. Sophia thought he was the one who did this.
For some unknown reason, Marcus felt troubled. He didn't want Sophia to hate him. He saw her pain and sadness when he looked at her eyes a while ago.
Just thinking about that, he felt suffocated. He glanced at John and Lester, feeling betrayed and disappointed. How could they do this to him?
He could not stand staying with them at this moment. He had the urge to beat them. So before he could do that, Marcus pushed them away as he marched out, leaving John and Lester in the Queen's Hall.
They tried calling him but Marcus ignored them. He just continued walking with his hurried steps. John and Lester just watched his back until he vanished from their sights.
"I told you. Marcus would be mad once he learns the truth," Lester said, taking a deep sigh.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Let him be for a while. His anger is just temporary. He will be okay after this. Come, let's go and check whether the camera captured anything." John couldn't care less about Marcus's feelings right now. All he wanted to know was whether they succeeded or not.
Jade was counting on him regarding this. She promised him a reward once he accomplished this task given by her. He was looking forward to that.
Lester could only sigh before following John behind. John entered the room already, heading straight to the spots where they installed the two cameras.
While John was retrieving the cameras, Lester decided to turn off the projector. The movie was still playing when they arrived.
It did not take long when John called Lester's attention.
"Les, come here. You have to see this," John said excitedly to Lester. He was smiling from ear to ear as his eyes were focused on the camera.
He was replaying the video that was recorded by those cameras inside that room. Lester sat beside him, feeling curious.
"We got it? Did the two of them do the deed?" Lester asked John.
"I don't know yet. Let's watch until the end," John suggested to Lester.
After a few minutes of watching the video, both men felt something strange. For unknown reasons, watching this scandal of Marcus and Sophia aroused them to the core.
"Damn! This is so hot! Marcus was so lucky. Sophia has a nice figure too. Too bad he was interrupted by that man. He almost claimed her. But this video is good enough. Jade will be happy to see this," John blurted out, breaking the silence.
He turned to Lester only to see him touching his hardened bulge under his pants. John couldn't help but chuckle. He had to admit that he also had the urge to touch himself after watching the video.
