[✓]Roll the Dice | WINWIN

Shayla was beyond furious. The entire day, it was if she was walking on egg shells. She was pressured and annoyed. She was given 48 hours out of which 15 hours were already gone without a single hint. 

Renjun had gone home already. And Sicheng insisted on staying behind, despite her telling him to leave.

Sicheng: Take some rest-

Shayla: I have less than two days left Sicheng. If i need to get Taeyong out of jail... i must work full time. 

Sicheng: I appreciate that... but this is not only about Taeyong anymore. You need to care for yourself too. 

She looked up from the file, eyes meeting his big beady ones. The first thing she thought of was how pretty his eyes were. They really were w work of art, complimenting his rather well off face.

Sicheng: Shayla...

Shayla: Yeah... 

She said, still keeping her eyes on him this time but paying more attention to the words he said.

Sicheng: How about i drop you home? You can continue in the morning. Okay?

Shayla: Okay.

Though when they were stopped in front of her apartment complex she didn't want to leave the car. 

Sicheng: Aren't you going?

Shayla: Look at you... trying to get rid of me. 

A hand held her chin, making her head turn to face him. He smiled cheekily while staring at her. 

Sicheng: If i could i would never let you go. 

Shayla: Yeah?

He hummed along. The tension in the car rose to heights they both couldn't bare. And so her next words came out in a low whisper.

Shayla: Then stay the night with me.

Renjun: You know its like every single time i leave, something happens between you two. Like you even came in together this morning. 

He complained while raising an eyebrow.

Sicheng: Would you rather have it happening in front of you?

Shayla: Sicheng!

Renjun only gasped. 

Renjun: You guys did the dirty.

Shayla: Oh my god. You're ridiculous. 

She shushed Renjun who looked like he had a lot to say.

Shayla: You told me the hospital called?

Renjun: Yeah... they had told Haeri to wait for a few days before getting the body. She threw a fit in the hospital.

Sicheng: Why did they deny it?

Renjun: Their bodies were turning... blue.

Shayla: Blue?! Poison?

Renjun: They suspect so.

Sicheng: Poison? So they were dead before the crash?

Renjun: Also... another weird thing i noticed.

Shayla: What?

Renjun: Inhye had changed her agreement such so that all her insurance money goes to Haeri.

That was like a light bulb for Shayla. 

Shayla: I got it.
