Silas’s eyes were cold, anal his voice was sharp and direct. “No way,” he said. Lenore dalist need his protection for situations like this
Gillian stared at him for a moment before speaking to Lenore. “Let’s get started, she said.
Lemine slowly took off her backpack and passed it along with her thermos to Silas, saying, “Wait for me a moment.
Silactook it with a slight simile. “What do you want to eat later? I’ll have someone prepare it.
Lenore furrowed her brows and thought for a moment. “Ribs”
Silas nodded. “Okay” It felt like nobody else existed, so relaxed and indifferent.

Chuck looked around, noticing others in the club standing around casually, and muttered, “Why hasn’t anyone started the bet yet?”
Silas and Wayne both glanced at him, one with a piercing look and the other with a casual demeanor.
Chuck suddenly remembered his mistake while driving yesterday and was afraid been quit, ducking his head slightly and muttering shyly. “Bet on Ms. Smedley get rich overnight.” He just wanted to experience that thrill feeling

It happened like this every time, Gillian was always just a little bit away from catching up, but she never quite succeeded. Now, in the final lap with less than 828 feet to go, Cillian’s expression grew increasingly strained,
Whoosh! The person in froast drifted to a stop at the finish line, and Gillian followed shortly after.
The referee, who had been watching closely, checked the time on his stopwatch. His expression was complicated and odd as he announced the results, “This young lady reached the finish line three seconds before Gillian”
