Chapter 302 Staying in a Run-down House
Cherise couldn’t help but notice how Rodney rushed to Mandy’s side and found it inappropriate.
She believed there were more suitable ways to assist Mandy without getting so physically close, especially since Rodney was already in a relationship with Lucy. Rodney’s action just didn’t sit right with her.
Lucy shrugged and said, “Maybe the situation required quick action, and he didn’t have time to think it through.”
Cherise’s comment didn’t faze Lucy, and they all continued walking, with Lucy dragging her luggage. “Is your hometown prettier than this place?”
The mere mention of her hometown got Cherise all excited. She eagerly shook her head, “Absolutely!”
“This place doesn’t hold a candle to my hometown!”
Just before they arrived in Sequoia, Rodney and Lucy were told that the photography crew had managed to secure the village’s only villas.
However, when they arrived, they were in for a surprise a rich man had snatched up one of the villas, who had paid three times what the photography crew had.
With only one villa left, there wasn’t enough room for everyone, so some had to be directed to a nearby, rundown single-story house.
Jessie was frustrated.
She dropped her luggage and exclaimed, “What’s wrong with them? Why must Mandy and I stay. in this rundown place because we registered late? Can’t they assign us based on the order we signed up?”
“This is unfair!”
“What’s your problem?”
One of the girls in charge couldn’t stand Jessie’s arrogance. “We’re all city folks, and that nearby house is so sorry that nobody wants to stay there. It’s simple first come, first served. You were the last one here, so it’s only fair that you get what’s left.”
The group of people all seemed to agree with her. Jessie clenched her teeth and looked at Mandy. “Mandy… say something!”
As they walked away, Jessie couldn’t resist a sly comment directed at Cherise, “Seems like that rundown house is tailor-made for you! Aren’t you from the countryside? You must’ve been used to living in a shady quarter like that!”
Cherise gave a frosty side-eye before she joined Lucy and the others, carrying their luggage along.
Once they were out of earshot, the girl in charge couldn’t help but vent her frustration. “Come on, Rodney! You could’ve scored the best hideout for you, your girlfriend, and her friend. What were you thinking?!”
