Chapter 96: Choose Any Two Items
Inside Thea’s room.
"What are you browsing?"Thea turned to Charlotte as she spoke.Charlotte was browsing through her phone while laying on the bed.
"Good methods for breast enlargement."
Charlotte looked Thea up and down and mischievously fixed her gaze on her neckline.
"You are pretty well endowed.You don’t need."
"Have you ever heard of a phrase called ’the more, the merrier’? Let me tell you all the good methods I read just now, you only listen."
Thea blinked, looking all eager to learn.
"There are methods, and I’ll tell you, I’ve really researched it." Charlotte said mysteriously.
"Charlotte, have you researched this too? Come on, tell me quickly. "Thea patted her chest.
"Why are you so interested in this?"
Because she actually got interested in it.
"Listen up, first, papaya!" Charlotte said, "Papaya has been known since ancient times as a breast enhancement tool, and there are a myriad of ways to prepare it. You can make papaya milk or pair it with other fruits to eat, whatever you like!"
"Second, buy essential oils! Rub them on every day. and a great figure will stand out!" Charlotte said with a mischievous smile.
"Third, those advertisements you see, with all kinds of pills. But I don’t recommend that."
She displayed her phone to Thea.
Thea nodded repeatedly: "Not good, not good ..Continue."
Charlotte suddenly leaned in, lowering her voice "I have an ace method, absolutely no side effects, instantly effective, no rebound, no irritation, immediate results!"
"Charlotte, you’re really something. Maybe you should go into advertising."
"No, no, no, I have got bigger goals to achieve. How could I just go into advertising and waste my talent?"
Thea chuckled: "Come on, what’s the ace method?"
"Listen closely." Charlotte cleared her throat and leaned close to her ear, "Men!"
"..."Thea didn’t understand.
"Didn’t get it?"
She shook her head.Charlotte typed something quickly on her phone."Look at this!"
Charlotte had opened to a certain page on her phone, and Thea, with her insatiable curiosity, read it with utmost seriousness. After scanning the content line by line, she shot Charlotte a ridiculed look. "Charlotte, are you serious?" she asked, smacking her head in disbelief.
The article claimed that a man’s hands were the best secret to breast enhancement. She couldn’t believe Charlotte would entertain such absurdity. "You have even less integrity than I thought," Thea teased, shaking her head.
Charlotte shrugged nonchalantly. "If you don’t believe it, forget it. Just give me my phone back."
Thea handed the phone back to Charlotte, chuckling. "You’re really feeding your brain with these nonsense ideas."
Charlotte just grinned mischievously, unfazed by Thea’s skepticism.
"I believe these ideas would work for us. Why don’t we give it a try?" Charlotte suggested, a sly grin spreading across her face.
Her face contorted in a mixture of shock and disgust. "You’re unbelievable, Charlotte. That’s just perverse." she said, turning her back to her friend in exasperation.
Charlotte’s laughter echoed through the room, but Thea remained unmoved, her back still turned to her friend.
"I’ll see how you handle it when you face something like that with Mr. Thompson," Charlotte suddenly blurted out.
As soon as Thea heard Mr. Thompson’s name, she realized Charlotte was referring to Ryder. She quickly turned to her side, her eyes wide with shock, and exclaimed, "How..." But she couldn’t finish her sentence.
Thea was taken aback, her mind racing. Charlotte’s words had caught her off guard.
"Oops, sorry! I didn’t mean to spill out your secret.," Charlotte said, looking sheepish.
"You knew?" Thea’s voice trembled.
Charlotte nodded, a sly smile spreading across her face. "Hmm... I’ve guessed it a long time ago."
Her eyes narrowed, wondering how Charlotte had discovered her secret. And then Charlotte’s expression changed, as if she was recalling a memory.
Flashback:
During her last visit to her house, Charlotte found herself momentarily alone in Thea’s room. Thea had stepped away to use the bathroom, leaving Charlotte to her own curiosity.
Her gaze landed on a notebook lying on the desk, and she couldn’t resist the urge to pick it up. As she flipped through the pages, a scribbled entry on the last page caught her eye. A knowing smile spread across her face.
"Ah-ha!" she thought to herself, "I knew it!"
Charlotte had observed Thea’s behavior around Mr Thompson before, and now the pieces fell into place. She was impressed by her ability to keep this secret hidden from her for so long.
"She’s too secretive." Charlotte mused, shaking her head in delight.
"Thea’s got a secret crush, just like me!" Charlotte thought, chuckling to herself at the unexpected similarity between them.
Flashback end.
"Charlotte, please don’t share this with anyone. It’s my secret," Thea said, her eyes pleading for discretion.
"Do you think I’m a fool? I won’t say a word,"
Charlotte held up her hands in mock defense. "Whoa, I’m not going to spill the beans! But why the secrecy?"
She hesitated before answering, "I don’t know how he feels, and I don’t want to risk ruining our friendship."
Charlotte nodded, promising, "Okay, I won’t breathe a word. But I have a secret weapon to tease you further!" She suddenly sprang into action.With a mischievous glint in her eye, Charlotte began to tickle her toes, sending her into fits of laughter.
Thea burst out laughing, trying to defend herself. "Charlotte, ahh...ahh...don’t! ..ahh Haha...hehe..."
Charlotte finally stopped tickling Thea, who was left gasping for breath with tears in her eyes from laughter. "Ah, I can’t believe it... We’re in the same situation!"
"What do you mean?" She asked, still chuckling."We both have feelings for our childhood friends!" Charlotte exclaimed. "You like Mr. Thompson, and I like Ryan. It’s crazy!"
Thea nodded thoughtfully. "Hmm..That’s true."
"But Ryan is older than Mr. Thompson."
Charlotte grinned mischievously. "And you know what they say... older means more experience."
Thea rolled her eyes, laughing. "Oh, Charlotte, what nonsense are you talking about now?"
Charlotte winked. "You know exactly what I mean. An older man typically has more experience in... matters of pleasure."
Thea shook her head, smiling. "Shut up.You’re impossible, Charlotte."
"Looks like someone’s already on guard!" Charlotte teased, chuckling.
"Time for me to catch some sleep." She yawning spoke and burrowing under the blankets. "We’ve got an early class tomorrow, and I don’t want to be half-asleep."
"Nighty night, sleep tight!" Charlotte said, giving her a playful pat on the shoulder before drifting off to sleep herself.
The next morning...
Charlotte and Thea hastily finished breakfast at her house before heading to Charlotte’s residence to collect her bag for university. As they entered the grand Wright Mansion, Agnes greeted them warmly.
"Ah, Thea, lovely to see you! Did my granddaughter keep you up all night with her chatter?"
Thea chuckled. "No, Grandma Wright, although she can be a bit irritating at times."
Charlotte descended the stairs, overhearing the conversation. "I know, Grandma," she said with a grin.
Agnes turned to Charlotte. "Are you all set to leave for university, dear?"
"Yes, Grandma, we’re off. See you later!" Charlotte replied, grabbing her bag.
Agnes’s expression turned thoughtful. "By the way, Charlotte, Ryan came to visit me yesterday from Canada. You didn’t mention he was in town."
Charlotte seemed taken aback. "Did he come to see you yesterday? I had no idea."
Agnes nodded. "Yes, he stopped by for a visit. Anyway, off you go, dear. Don’t be late for class!"
"Grandma, see you later!" Thea called out as she followed Charlotte out the door.
After class, Charlotte and Thea decided to take a stroll along the road, where they stumbled upon a lively festival. An old woman standing outside a shop greeted them.
"Welcome, young misses! Would you like to play a lucky draw to see what fortune brings you?"
Charlotte turned to Thea ,excited. "Want to give it a try?"
Thea nodded. "Let’s give it a try."
Charlotte exclaimed, "Yes, we’d love to!"
The old woman smiled. "Here, choose a chit from this bowl."
Charlotte went first, selecting a chit and opening it to reveal her prize. "Look at my luck!" she laughed, holding up a pack of tissue paper.
Then it was Thea’s turn. She took a deep breath, chose a chit, and opened it. Her eyes widened in surprise.
"Congratulations, young lady! You’ve won the chance to choose any two items from our shop for free!" the old woman exclaimed.
Charlotte nudged Thea. "Thea let’s go..."
