I simply shook my head. I had actually seen most of the people they were discussing at various social events, including the prominent figure from the Roberts Family, who once asked me to introduce him to someone of a higher standing. But sharing that seemed pointless, so I kept quiet.
Soon, they decided to play a game of truth or dare, and Courtney insisted that I join in. I wasn’t particularly good at these games, and it felt like the dice were always against me, causing me to lose more often than not.
With a hint of dissatisfaction, Courtney looked at me and said, “Why don’t you know anything?”
I smiled, trying to keep it light. “I don’t play much, so I guess I’m just out of practice.”
She sat across from me, cozy next to Bradley, looking like the perfect couple.
“Do you choose truth or dare?” Courtney asked, her tone challenging.
I pondered for a moment. “Truth or dare.”
To be honest, I found the whole game rather dull.
Bradley immediately asked, “Bradley, tell me the truth. Are you jealous when you see me and Courtney together again?”
I thought about it seriously and shook my head. “No.”
Their expressions shifted to one of contempt, including Courtney’s.
“Come on, everyone knows men get jealous, especially when they refuse to admit it.”
“Exactly! Jordan, it’s no secret that every time Courtney spends time with Bradley, you two end up arguing.”
“If you won’t be honest, what’s the point of this game?” They began to criticize me again.
I sighed in frustration. “I’m really not jealous. Believe it or not.”
Suddenly, Courtney slammed her hand on the table, pointing at me. “Jordan, what’s with your attitude? Is this how you talk to my friends?”
I smiled bitterly. “Okay, fine. I’m jealous.”
Let’s be honest: this game is boring. Even if I tell the truth, they won’t believe me. These people are so narrow-minded; they only accept what they think is right and disregard the actual truth.
Courtney, seemingly satisfied, said, “Continue.”
It was time for another round, and I didn’t lose this time since I knew the game’s rules. It was Courtney who ended up losing.
“I choose the big adventure,” she declared.
Bradley grinned, a wicked gleam in his eyes. “Courtney, kiss the person you love most in your life.”
Everyone’s gaze shifted to me, their expressions filled with malice. Part of me wondered if I should play along, feigning a nervous reaction.
