Divorcing 515
Chapter 515 Movie
Chloe noticed that Asher had been clutching his left arm the whole time. "Did you... break something?"
She was surprised since he seemed fine before.
Asher, feeling embarrassed, kept his head down and remained silent. James returned from registration and said, "Alright, let's head upstairs." Curious, Chloe asked, "What's wrong with him?"Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
James explained, "He came with me for a boxing session, didn't warm up properly, and ended up dislocating his arm."
Chloe was left speechless.
Asher, feeling utterly ashamed, pleaded, "Okay, okay, enough already, please, spare me."
He felt like his reputation was about to be ruined by James' words.
As the two went upstairs, Chloe turned and left. At the door, she received a text from William.
It was a screenshot of a movie ticket with the caption: [Hope Ms. Nelson can grace me with your presence.]
The movie was directed by her favorite director and was a re-release.
Before replying, she checked the cinema and showtime, realizing it was almost sold out. She quickly bought the last three tickets for Candy, Quinn, and Jessica before responding: [It would be my pleasure.] Meanwhile, Candy and the others received Chloe's message in the group chat: [Tonight, 7:30 PM, see you at the cinema, William's treat.]
At the mention of William, they immediately went into preparation mode, getting ready to head to the cinema.
Chloe met William at the cinema entrance.
He was dressed differently today, sporting athletic wear, which made him look more approachable.
The movie was scheduled for the afternoon, starting at quarter to five. Chloe and William arrived around twenty minutes early.
With some time to spare, Chloe said, "How about we sit at the nearby café for a while?"
The movie ticket check-in was ten minutes before the show.
William smiled, "Sure."
Inside the café, Chloe found a window seat to keep an eye on Candy and the others. "What would you like to drink, Ms. Nelson?" William asked, standing beside her.
"Just a glass of lemon water," Chloe replied, looking up at him.
As William went to order, Chloe messaged Candy.
The reply came quickly: [Don't worry, we're in position!]
They had actually arrived near the
appro earlier but hesitated to , planning to sneak in
vie had started.
Candy had a question, though: [Where's James?]
Chloe suddenly remembered that she had completely forgotten about James.
Smith's situation had left her hesitant to interact with him.
She messaged Candy: [Let's just leave him out of this.]
Candy was a bit surprised by Chloe's response.
She thought, "Leave him out?
But what if William really gets physical? Just the few of us who are tech geeks, can we really handle William?
Others may not know, but when I used to pursue William, I knew he was into fitness, and he even studied judo and competed.
If he throws a punch, I might be done for.
Jessica is probably the same.
As for Quinn..."
"Quinn, can you fight?" Candy asked unexpectedly, as Quinn's mind was preoccupied with Chloe outside.
Startled by the question, Quinn hesitated. "Huh?"
"I mean, can you throw a punch, like taekwondo, judo, karate, or something?"
Quinn furrowed his brow, shaking his head. "I'm a scholar."
Rolling her eyes, Candy thought, "That's not the answer I was looking for.
He probably hasn't learned any combat skills.
So, we're three sitting ducks. Unless William plans to use a nuclear bomb to blow up Chloe, then we three tech geeks could hack the trajectory to save her.
But in a bare-knuckle fight, the three of us wouldn't stand a chance."
"I'm going to the restroom," Candy announced, standing up and heading towards the restroom on the other side.
Once inside, she located Michael's
contact number. Sitting on the toilet,
she hesitated for half a minute
before finally pressing the call button.
