48 The 7-Man Squad! (1/2)
Before Ashley could utter any word, Pedro stood up and grabbed her arm. Then, Pedro spoke softly that only Ashley and his group could only hear.
”If you joined our group... you won't regret it!” Pedro showed an emotionless confident smile. His actions astounded Loren, Sabrina, and even Aldo.
'Does big brother Pedro like this woman? Hehe...' Aldo chuckled as his attention was accidentally switched from Pedro and Ashley to Sabrina's hand that was gripping her bag.
'For some reason... I find this B@@CH annoying!' Sabrina's grip in her bag tightens as her stare to Ashley.
'Why do I feel like I'm sitting next to a tiger who was about to pounce its prey?!' Aldo wore a forced smile inwardly as his attention was shifted on Sabrina who was showing a forced smile. Although she smiles, the fury in her eyes showed the annoyance that she felt inside.
”Don't touch me! How dare you!” Ashley shrugged Pedro's hands and was about to slap him in his face. When her hand was just inches away from Pedro's face, Ashley's hands were suddenly stopped by someone.
They glance to the one who stopped Ashley's hand and it was no other than Sabrina who wore an exasperated look with her flaming eyes glaring straight to Ashley intensely.
'You dare hurt Pedro... I mean one of my groupmates!' Sabrina was filled with rage.
”Voicing out your personal views is fine... but to hurt someone... that's going way too far!” Sabrina's killing intent intensifies and her grip on Ashley's hands keeps tightening each second.
'Woa... didn't think the tiger was this fierce!' Aldo could only shake his head and wore an awkward smile inside as he watches Sabrina.
'Ha... Ha... Uhm... Sisy? what has gotten into you?' Loren was helplessly shocked and could only stare at the developments of the events. The Sabrina she was staring at, was not the quiet, shy and passive type Sabrina she knew.
'Ho ho...' The other two transferees were entertained and seemed interested in the current development of the events.
”Calm down Sabrina! There's no use for you to be angry! BESIDES... whether she joins us or not won't make that much difference!” Pedro placed his hand to one of Sabrina's shoulder as he spoke in a mocking tone.
'Oh... what am I doing!' Sabrina got back to her self and starts to blush out of embarrassment. Her grip to Ashley's hands begins to loosen.
When Ashley felt it was loosening, she immediately pulled her hand back and took a step back to distance her self from Pedro and Sabrina.
”How about this... Join our group for a month! After that, you can decide whether you stay or change groups... If you even die once due to te... Ehm... group activities, I'd compensate you with a hundred thousand Philippine Pesos!” Sabrina embarrassedly went back to her seat with Loren comforting her as Pedro makes an offer to Ashley.
”Cause I'm also a Closed Beta Player!” Pedro sneered proudly as he places his hands in his pocket.
”What?”
”Huh?”
”Eh...”
