Evory was startled and almost let go of the phone she was holding. Mabilis siyang lumingon sa pinanggalingan ng boses at nagulat nang makitang nakatayo doon ang magkambal.

"Why are you here?" Evory asked while frowning as she put her phone away calmly.

Lucas did not answer. He walked near their table and smiled at the silent girl who was minding her own business. Marcus followed behind his older brother.

"Excuse me, Miss Blanc. Can my brother and I sit beside you two?" He gently said.

Cheuse glanced coldly at Lucas. "Why are you only asking me? There are two of us."

Lucas smiled. "Because I know that between the of you, you have the final say. She'll agree if you agree."

Lucas had already seen this kind of girl pairing countless times. A leader who's the extremely beautiful, cold yet arrogant type of girl and of course, her so-called friend but in reality, it's just her sidekick. The job of the sidekick is to make their leader look powerful and beautiful. He had seen this in their school many times.

Cheuse's eyes turned cold the moment she looked up and met the pair of eyes that were hiding a nasty and wicked mind. She can guess what this guy is thinking. "No. Go find your own seat." She firmly rejected him.

The twins were surprised by the rejection, especially Marcus. He thought that the lady would agree since it was his older brother who asked for it. Countless ladies in the capital would agree without hesitation if they were in these girls' places.

"Well, it's too boring for the two of us to sit together so we will just sit here with the two of you." Lucas unceremoniously said as he invited himself to sit down next to Cheuse. He then eyed his brother to sit beside the other lady.

Evory was speechless and so was Cheuse. They underestimated the shamelessness of these brothers.

"There are so many tables available all over the cafeteria, why sit here with us?" Evory couldn't stop herself from complaining.

The person next to Evory scoffed. "Didn't you hear what my brother had said? You should feel honored that we choose to sit next to you and your friend."

Evory quickly bit her lips to prevent curses from coming out of her mouth. She bit it so hard that it almost bleeds. Cheuse just drinks water from the bottle like she did not hear anything.

Lucas immediately noticed the awkward atmosphere. He glanced at his younger twin and gave him a warning. Marcus pursed his lips and looked away. He did not dare to say anymore.

"Ladies, I apologize for my brother's words. He really can't control his mouth sometimes." Lucas gives them an apologetic smile, but if one could see it clearly, one would notice that the smile is not sincere.

Evory stopped biting her lips. She raised her eyebrow and smirked, "Really? I feel that it's not sometimes. Based on his tone, I think that he's used to saying those words every time a woman rejects him or doesn't give in to him."

Lucas can't refute Evory's words. Marcus wants to speak to defend himself but he keeps the warning his twin brother gives him so he remains silent and all he can do is gnash his teeth.

The atmosphere around the four of them is much more awkward than earlier. Then suddenly, Cheuse speaks up.

She glanced sideways to look at Lucas before speaking coldly, "Hey, I once read from a magazine that Lucas Aderman from the band UTB is a table tennis genius, a rare talent that even Ren from one of the country's major cities, who was a gold medalist in an international game can't defeat. I wonder if that was true?"
