"So basically, what you're saying is that we'll pretend to be in a relationship and hope for her to get jealous or some shit," Chand monotonously said while looking at Casey whose cheeks were blushing profusely.

"That's your plan?" He was, without a doubt, unimpressed. How cliche could she get? Like seriously, he thought.

Casey nodded, completely oblivious to his train of thoughts.

"What benefit do I get from faking a relationship with you? And from seeing her jealous?" Chand cocked a brow.

Hearing his words, Casey became aware of how displeased he was with her idea. Her shoulders sagged down at his expression.

Chand sighed and closed the laptop he was working on. The night was getting late and a talkative Casey doesn't do much help in finishing his work.

The light atmosphere surrounding Ellis completely vanished as the younger lad looked at Chand with a serious expression.

It was rare to see Ellis like that. He was always the type to joke around and never take anything so seriously.

"I know it's none of my business but..."
