Aubree woke up right on time, her internal alarm never failing her, even after a night of heavy drinking.
She woke up clutching her pounding head. The hangover hit her like a sledgehammer to the skull, sending sharp, throbbing pains through her nerves.
Aubree sat on the bed in a daze for a long moment before gradually coming to her senses.
“Carol must have changed my clothes last night…” Aubree muttered to herself, glancing down at her outfit before scanning the room.
She vaguely remember Bowen was the last to show up.
“What happened next?” Aubree wondered.
Still holding her head, Aubree paused, her gaze suddenly blank as confusion washed over her face. “Wait… Did I… Did I really kiss Bowen?”
As the memories came flooding back, the scene in the car replayed in her mind with painful clarity. Aubree buried her face in her hands and let out a mortified scream.
Aubree thought in horror, ‘Oh my God! What the hell did I do?
‘OMG! I can’t believe I actually flirted with Bowen while I was drunk! What the hell was I thinking?
‘Bown must have taken pity on me, he actually let me off the hook instead of strangling me on the spot!
Her mind raced through the logistics. The esports club was already in its formation stage. While Alvin’s place could accommodate a pro team, it wasn’t spacious enough for the entire club.
She needed to find a new venue first, then move on to recruiting staff and coaches, and finally announce open tryouts for new talent for the youth training program.
With the prestige of being the Autumn Finals champion, none of these would be difficult.
But there was one more important thing. Aubree thought, ‘I need to move out of Ellis Heights.
‘Now that the tournament’s over and I’ve got my prize money, I’m financially secure enough to rent a high-security place. But after last night’s incident, even if Bowen didn’t mind, there’s no way I could keep living at Ellis Heights, I’d just die of embarrassment.
‘I’d die of embarrassment if I ran into Bowen anytime soon!’
Seeing it was about time, Aubree scrambled out of bed. As a senior in high school, she no longer had the freedom to skip classes at will since the new term began.
With little appetite, Aubree only managed a few sips of breakfast. She didn’t see Bowen around. She’d planned to mention she was moving out if he was there.
