Chapter ４

Hunter grins as Neme walks to him. His arm is wrapped around her waist, and he leans down close to her ear for a closer look. I follow them with trepidation, uncertain of where I should seat.

He gives me a kind smile once I've seated in the chair. My neighbor, Hunter, is sitting across from me, and the head chair to my right is empty. Looking over my shoulder, I see that the woman next me appears in the picture down the hallway, which I find astonishing.

She flashes a grin "Susan, . Hello, my name is Jessica."

I quickly extend my hand to shake the woman's. My hand slips from hers and I pull one of my long strands behind my ear. At the same moment I'm ready to begin speaking, a little girl, enters the room with a tray of fruit in hand. As she walks up to each person, she offers them snaps.

I can tell when it's time to eat because the young girl eagerly places the plate in front of me.

"Thanks."

As I pick up one apple, I hear voices behind me. I had to stop myself from taking another bite.

Neme coughs a little.

"So, Susan, Hunter wanted to know something interesting of us before."

I lift my eyebrow with disbelief,, I see that more people are staring at me. "Neme and I had a good time climbing the wall and skipping class ."

It seems that you are very naughty " Hunter sneers a little.

My smile begins to fade. That comment makes me irritated.

'The majority of teenagers don't like school.'Jessica's smile catches my attention out of the corner of my eye. Neme smirks as she eats, and Hunter shakes his head when he sees me eating.

"You preferred pranks to school,"   Jessica  goes on to say more.

My brows arch up to my hairline in surprise.

My lips were being concealed by Neme's fingers as she said, "Neme removed trousers off one of our tutors." With a wide smile on my face, I tilt my head to the side a little.

I can't help but giggle when I think of my sister's predicament, and it seems that everyone else does too. Hunter is quick to notice Neme's red cheeks, despite her efforts to conceal them.

"I've done worse than this."Hunter says this while maintaining his sight on Neme. Hunter leans in closer to Neme, who smirks and pushes him away. Despite the fact that Neme has only been here for four days, I have no doubt that she has fallen head over heels in love with Hunter. 

In a recent conversation, Neme shared with me that she had developed feelings for one of the many men she has dated in the past. I first believed Neme because she would continually brag over him, but then the two of them would break up. Neme would continue her search for a new man, and the cycle would begin again. Even though I'm not sure whether she's still a virgin, I'm used to her glazed expression. She's on her way to bring them to Hunter right now.

After that, I finish my supper.

I had   wine with Jessica. Then I saw an empty chair and wondered who had skipped supper that evening.

The young girl returns to get the dishes that have been left unattended. Her lips are sealed in silence.

"who she is?" I inquire of Jessica, pointing to the young lady who is busy loading a man's plate.

Jessica turns to face the young lady. When she sees her, she greets her with a kind grin.

Alison"

Alison offered to act as the server for the evening

"This residence is surrounded by a large number of family-owned houses. Every evening, we prepare dinner for our closest friends."

I keep my lips sealed to prevent any more questions. Immediately after asking her who she meant by 'we,' Alison steps up and takes my plate away from me.

Her naïve eyes are drawn to mine. Allison coughs and flushes after coughing.

"Thanks-""Alison is looking at Hunter right now. "

Alison comes back into the kitchen, and I fix my focus on Hunter. He shrugs, as if he doesn't want to talk to me.

Cake is going to be served next, but I decide to return to my room instead. As I go out of the dining room, I notice that I am being observed less. When I realize that no one can see me, I breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as I go back to my room, I take a seat at the foot of the bed and stare out the window. Even though it's becoming dark, I'm not sure the snow has stopped falling just yet. I exhale a breath of relief and throw my underwear alongside the shelf across the room.

I go over to the switch to turn it off. Instantaneously, the room turns pitch dark. I enter my room blindly and drop under the cold blankets and plush pillows that have been waiting for me. My body is pleasantly resting on the colossal bed. The overwhelming sensation of warmth is quite comforting.

"Come on, Neme," I grumble as I shuffle across the living room with my arms crossed. "I'm bored to death, and I'd like to get escape, let’s go back home, parents are waiting for us.."

Neme sighs.

“I’m not leaving, sis, I enjoy staying here, if you really like to go, don’t take me in, but I advice you to stay as well, I’m sure you will like this astonishing place.”

I confirmed my suspects that Neme had sex with that guy. She has never been in the same place for a week in fear of getting bored.

I put on my cashmere boots as I pass Neme. My heavy boots thud on the wood floorboards as I leave the room.

I turn the lock. When I open up the door, frigid air and snowfall strike me.
