My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2482

After a few rounds of drinks and several courses of food, the group was still engaged in lively chatter.

At that moment, Anox stood up while holding the bill and said, "You guys keep chatting. I'm going to settle the bill."

Teresa nodded. "Alright, I'll wire you the money later."

As soon as Anox left, Kalo stood up too. "I need to go to the restroom. Chevy, come with me."

"Huh? Are you a kid or something? You need company to use the bathroom?" Chevy teased.

"Come on, just come with me. We can take a quick smoke break too."

"Fine, fine," Chevy agreed reluctantly, and the two walked out of the room.

Teresa watched them with a smile, amused by their playful banter.

With the guys gone, the room was left with just the three girls. Marino suddenly asked curiously, "Teresa, why did you invite me here today?"

Teresa paused for a moment, then laughed and replied, "Well, I just felt like we could get along, so I wanted to be friends with you."

"Friends?" Marino turned her head away, pretending to be indifferent. "I don't need a friend like you."

Hearing this, Teresa's face lit up with excitement, her smile stretching from ear to ear. "Really?! Yay! Mar, you're the best!"

Just as Teresa tried to jump on Marino again, Marino quickly held her down, pressing her head to keep her in place. "Alright, enough. It's hot in here. Stop clinging to me."

"Haha, our Mar is getting shy again."

"I am not!"

Enid watched the scene with a smile, enjoying the playful energy between the two. At that moment, Teresa turned to look at Enid.
