Entangled: Crisscross Chapter 10

"What do you think? Does it look good on me?" Xu Je'er beamed as she looked at her black dress. It was a body-con dress that perfectly hugged her body, emphasizing her long slender legs. Xu Je'er was already taller than Sera by a few inches, with her four inches heels, she towered over her friend. Seeing Sera's small frame, Xu Je'er giggled. "Hey, I think you should buy some heels that would make you taller. You are beautiful, but when you are standing next to me, your dazzling beauty will disappear."
Sera only chuckled. Xu Je'er was actually telling the truth. Sera wasn't tall in the first place, and her body cannot be considered sexy. So, when standing next to a taller and beautiful woman like Xu Je'er, Sera would only look like a cute little kid.
Of course, this doesn't matter to her at all. After all, other people's thoughts don't really concern her. "Je'er this is a graduation party with eating, drinking, and karaoke. Why are you acting like it's some important event to show off?" She rolled her eyes and grabbed a simple black and white dress. "This one suits you very well. It looks simple and it would make you look pure and innocent. That dress is too bold for you it will make you look older."
"Really?"
Sera nodded. When it comes to clothes, Xu Je'er who grew up in a rich family loves to wear something that would make her look more mature. She loves bold colors like red and black and tight clothes that would always emphasize her figure. "Isn't it good to wear something new this time?"
"Now that I think about it… you actually have a point." Xu Je'er said before she darted her tongue out and made a face. "But I am still going to wear this black dress. The gods gifted this body! I have to show it off."

In the end, Sera just smiled wryly. In the first place, this dress was truly out of place. It was sparkling and looked too elegant for a simple dinner party with their classmates. Moreover, there will be a lot of drinking and games. How could she move while wearing such tight clothes?
Of course, she chose not to say her thoughts.
"Oh, so you will wear some tattered jeans and this?" Xu Je'er eyed the white sleeveless loose blouse that she chose. "Looks boring."
"I am a boring person." Sera shrugged. She chose something that would give her comfort and something she could pair with anything. Of course, she was going to pair this with some comfortable heels and bring some flats later. After all, they are going drinking. She wouldn't want to walk in her heels while drunk and risk an injury. "We should go."
"Alright, I will also buy these," Xu Je'er grabbed the black and white dress that Sera chose earlier and marched towards the cashier with her card to pay for everything, including Sera's clothes.
"Hmm? Isn't this the young miss of the Xu Family and our top student Miss Zhang?" A mocking voice reached their ears the moment they got out of the boutique.
"Oh, Isn't this Miss Quanquan?" Xu Je'er's tone immediately changed. "Did the Yuan Family finally agree to let you go outside without your guards? Oh, wait… they should be here somewhere following you around. After all, the Yuan Family is one of the richest family in Pane City, they couldn't afford to let their young miss out of their sights."
"You — Xu Je'er, I heard from your grandfather that you went abroad! Then why are you here now? Ah, let me guess? You are just trying to hide from your parents, right? Did they try to set up another blind date for you?"

Almost immediately, Xu Je'er's face turned red. She was about to walk in Yuan Quan's direction but Sera was quick to stop her. "Stop causing trouble," Sera said lowly before she turned towards Yuan Quan. "Miss Yuan, I never thought that someone like you would actually shop in malls. I thought your dresses were all custom made. "
"Of course they are custom made! I am not here to buy clothes in these malls. I am not a pauper like you. I am here to join a competition for my grandfather!"
Sera smiled. "Was it a beauty competition? I am sure Miss Yuan will definitely win first place if that is the case!"
"Don't use your tongue on me!" Yuan Quan said. "But at least, you are sensible enough to accept that I am more beautiful than this Xu Je'er!"
"You — Sera! Stop me! Or I will definitely strangle this woman to death!"
Sera rolled her eyes inwardly. It wasn't a secret that the two women before her came from rich families. However, they develop some sort of weird rivalry. If one would buy a blue dress, then the other would buy the same dress at a more expensive price. If one would buy a diamond, then the other would buy a bigger one with the same design.
Both women went to the same university and took the same courses, constantly trying to one-up each other with everything.
"Miss Yuan, both of you are actually beautiful. However, I am curious about this competition that Miss Yuan spoke of?" Sera said, ignoring the raging Xu Je'er.
"Why should I tell you?"
"If you won't tell her, then I will!" Xu Je'er immediately said. "Sera, today there is a competition in Cyber Security in this mall. The Yuan Family had been trying to find talents to work with their business. They wanted someone to develop an app that would help their banking business. Of course, they are looking for young talents like you. She must be here because she told her grandfather that she could recruit the winner of this contest!"
"You— "
"Not only that, Quinn Media and other prominent companies sponsored this competition, so there will be a lot of talents joining the competition this time! She is actually hoping she could snatch talents from Quinn media? Yuan Quan… you are dreaming!"
"You — You — You are despicable!" Yuan Quan immediately reacted. "Do you want to fight with me!?"
"If you want to fight, then fight!" Xu Je'er said as she handed her paper bags to Sera. "Do you think I am afraid of you!?"
"Hey, Je'er…" Sera's words interrupted her friend's fury.
"What? Don't stop me! I will strangle this woman!"
"I won't stop you," Sera said. "I am just curious. About the prize of this competition?"

Marcus narrowed his eyes at her and brought a hand up, tangling his hand in her hair and tugging on it so she was looking up at him. "You're asking for it, Mila. I could have you moaning my name and begging for more in seconds," he said, squeezing her ass and rubbing himself against her.
