After a pause, he announced, “The person with the five of hearts has to princess-carry the person with the eight
of hearts and do twenty squats.”
“That's... surprisingly romantic!” someone exclaimed.
“Alright, who's got the five of hearts?” someone asked. “I do,” Johnson said calmly, tossing his card onto the
table.
As soon as he finished speaking, Belinda spoke up. “And I've got the eight of hearts.” She laid her card down
with a small smile.

a flicker of darkness flashing in them for a brief moment.
“Wow!” someone muttered.

“Twenty squats! Can you even manage that?”

“You think I can’t do that? Just wait and see,” he said, rising to his feet.
Belinda also stood up, her movements graceful yet decisive.
Lucas’ eyes darkened a bit more when he saw this. Johnson not refusing was one thing, but Belinda... Why was
she also going along with this?
“Con, Belinda.” Johnson opened his arms theatrically, prompting a round of laughter.

her with a slight smile on his face. The sight of them together drew whistles and cheers from the crowd.
“You guys can start counting now! I'm about to begin!” Johnson said.
“Got it!” cthe response.
“Damn it!” Lucas muttered under his breath.
The scene made him incredibly irritated.
As Johnson prepared to start the squats, Lucas’ husky voice cut through the noise.
“I'll drink for Belinda. You two don’t have to do this.”
The room went silent.
All eyes turned toward Lucas, his expression unreadable. Without a word, Lucas grabbed three glasses of
whiskey from the table and downed them one after another, the liquid burning his throat. He eventually set the
last empty glass down with a loud clink.
