Ch. 911..920
Chapter 911
Georgie Clementine coughed awkwardly. "Stop calling me honey, darling, or missus..."
"Alright, sweetheart..." Henry Armstrong said.
Georgie was rendered speechless.
Why did she feel like the names he was calling her were getting more and more disgusting?
"Henry, can you stop making me feel disgusted? It's so cringey..."
"If you're not happy with 'sweetheart', what do you want me to call you? Baby? My beloved?" Henry asked.
"Will it kill you to call me by my first name?" Georgie asked.
"How would that show that you're special to me?" Henry asked.
"Please address me by my first name..." Georgie said with a serious look on her face before walking into the restaurant.
The restaurant was decorated in a traditional baroque style, and it seemed very luxurious...
The walls were encrusted with gold and diamonds that glimmered brightly.
A beautiful woman in a white dress played a melodic piano tune on a high platform in the middle of the restaurant.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was extraordinarily relaxed and pleasant.
At this moment, the restaurant was packed with people.
At one glance, everyone seemed to be wearing clothes of international brands.
When a beautiful waitress dressed in a maid's outfit saw Henry, she immediately approached him and greeted him respectfully. "Mr. Armstrong... Welcome... Your room has already been prepared. Please come with me," she said.
Henry nodded slightly.
"Hey... Mr. Armstrong... What a coincidence..." A young man's voice could be heard from behind.
Georgie and Henry turned to look at the man at the same time.
This person was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties. He was dressed from head to toe in LV's global, limited-edition outfit.
When the man saw Georgie, he nodded politely at her.
Georgie nodded back at him.
After that, the man walked up to them and carefully scanned Georgie up and down. His eyes were filled with a look of admiration and one of a pleasant surprise.
"Mr. Armstrong... Is this your new girlfriend? She looks much better than the ones you have had before..." The young man said.
"I'm not..." Georgie said.
"Go upstairs first. I'll come to look for you later," Henry looked at Georgie and said in an appeasing tone.
Georgie nodded slightly before walking away with the waitress.
As soon as she left, the young man wrapped his arm around Henry's neck. "This chick looks pretty good... Why haven't you succeeded yet?"
"It's none of your business..." Henry said.
"Say, this is the first time I've seen you trying so hard to please a chick... Could this be your final destination?" The young man asked.
"Don't worry about things you shouldn't worry about," Henry said.
The waitress brought Georgie all the way up to the second floor.
As soon as the two of them arrived upstairs, the door to the room closest to the stairway was opened.
Immediately after that, a young couple walked out with their hands all over each other.
The woman was wearing a red, tight-fitting dress with straps. Her hair was curly, and she had on thick makeup that made her appear sexy and enchanting.
The man next to her was dressed in a white, slim-fit suit, and he seemed very noble.
Georgie recognized the two of them...
The woman was called Karen Campbell, and the man was called Zayn Tulip.
While the former was her classmate in Country Z's Summerland University, the latter was their senior, and he was also someone Georgie used to have a crush on. On top of that, he was the heir to a major advertising company in Atlantis.
When Georgie saw their faces, countless memories from the past began to surface in her mind.
Back then, Karen did whatever she could, both explicitly and implicitly, to compete with Georgie because Georgie was much better than Karen in various aspects.
Chapter 912
Chapter 912
Karen Campbell even deliberately stole Georgie Clementine's crush, Zayn Tulip, away from Georgie...
After getting together with Zayn, Karen always brought Zayn around to show him off in front of Georgie to hurt Georgie's feelings.
Apart from that, Karen even lied to Zayn by saying that Georgie bullied her...
As a result, Zayn slapped Georgie twice.
One could only imagine how hurtful it was to be slapped by the person she had a crush on.
However, Georgie didn't show any signs of weakness. After being slapped, she beat Zayn up so badly that his mother probably couldn't recognize him anymore. In fact, she had erased her feelings for Zayn forever.
They had brought Georgie nothing but terrible memories. Hence, Georgie didn't want to acknowledge them...
After glancing at them calmly, Georgie continued to walk forward with the waitress.
"Hey... Who's this? Isn't this Georgie Clementine?" Karen didn't allow Georgie to leave. She immediately dragged Zayn along and stood in Georgie's way... After saying that, Karen grabbed Zayn's arm even more tightly. The two seemed almost joined at the hips. There was a look of arrogance in Karen's eyes.
"What a coincidence..." Georgie glanced at them indifferently before she continued to walk forward.
Right then, Karen reached out and grabbed Georgie's hand. "Georgie... My husband and I have just returned to the country, and we bumped into you. It's fate. Oh, right. I forgot to tell you, but the two of us have registered our marriage right after graduating... We're deeply in love..." Karen said.
Just as before, Karen liked showing off her relationship in front of Georgie. She hadn't changed a single bit.
The only difference was this used to make Georgie feel sad in the past. But now, Georgie was no longer affected. Georgie smiled lightly. "Well, congratulations... I have other things to do, so I'll leave you to it," Georgie said. "Georgie... Are you still single? Have you been well over the years?" Zayn asked.
"I heard from one of our classmates that you're still single. Is that true? Georgie, I'm not one to nag... But, as a woman, no matter how successful you are in your career, you're still a failure without love," Karen said.
Georgie looked at Karen indifferently. "I don't think so..."
"That means there's something wrong with your values. Women should marry well instead of working hard. Look at me. Aren't I living a good life by marrying my husband? My husband is tall, rich, and handsome. I can get whatever I want. Whatever you have to work hard for, I can get it by simply asking for it...
"Women shouldn't have to act all that tough... I heard you've become an artist manager, haven't you? I've been told that it's tough working in the entertainment industry... Those who make a living in the entertainment industry only look glamorous on the surface. Behind closed doors, everything is horrendous..." Karen said.
When Georgie heard Karen saying all this, she couldn't help but chuckle a little.
Georgie really couldn't understand what Karen was going on about.
"You're mistaken. I think that women should work hard and be successful rather than marrying well... Women who do well in life can still live comfortably without men. Still, those who don't would find it difficult even to sustain themselves without men..." Georgie retorted directly. She wasn't going to spare Karen any dignity.
As soon as Georgie said this, Karen's face instantly darkened. "Are you dissing me? Georgie, you must be jealous, aren't you?"
Georgie felt confused. "Why should I be jealous of you?"
"Why not? How am I not better than you right now? Not only can I get whatever I want, but my man is also nice to me. Tell me, how are you better than me in any of these aspects?" Karen said. Looking at Karen's face, Georgie felt the urge to slap her twice.
However, Georgie didn't want to get her hands dirty. Hence, she restrained herself.
"As long as you're happy..." Georgie said with a smile after frowning a little.
Right then, Henry Armstrong walked over while whistling.
When Zayn saw Henry, he immediately approached Henry respectfully. "Mr. Armstrong... Nice to meet you... What a coincidence. Are you here for a meal too?" Zayn asked.
Henry didn't even look at Zayn. Instead, he walked directly over to Georgie and wrapped his arm around her shoulders while looking at Karen. "Why don't you repeat what you said earlier?"
Chapter 913
Chapter 913
The scene made Karen Campbell's jaw drop.
At this moment, she felt both shocked and terrified...
Karen had heard her husband talking about Mr. Armstrong before.
She knew that this person was not only extremely powerful in Atlantis, but the entire Country Z.
The Tulip family couldn't afford to offend him!
Karen didn't expect this young aristocrat actually to know Georgie Clementine, and they even had such an intimate relationship.
It appeared that Henry Armstrong and Georgie were a couple.
All of a sudden, Karen didn't know what to do anymore. She was thoroughly stunned, and her face turned pale. Her heart was about to leap out of her chest.
"In what ways do you think my wife is inferior to you?" Henry asked again.
Georgie didn't say anything. Instead, she allowed Henry to continue holding her.
In that split second, she felt moved by Henry.
Karen was lost for words, and she didn't know how to answer the question.
Now that Karen knew Georgie was this man's wife, Georgie was indeed in no way inferior to Karen.
However, why didn't Karen hear anyone talking about Georgie being with such a prominent man? It was such a big deal, after all.
"S-Sorry... Mr. Armstrong... I... I didn't know that she was your... Your wife..." Karen stammered.
"So, do you know now?" Henry snorted coldly. He seemed different from how he usually behaved in front of Georgie. Instead of being his amiable self, he now emanated a cold aura. Karen immediately shivered and respectfully bowed her head. "Yes, I know now... Georgie... S-Sorry... Please forgive me," Karen said.
"You're not forgiven..." Henry said.
With that, Henry turned to look at Georgie with a look of appeasement. "Honey, shall we go and eat?" He asked. Georgie nodded.
After that, Henry continued to hold Georgie and followed the waitress to their room.
Zayn Tulip quickly dragged Karen along and ran up to Henry.
He then began to suck up to Henry. "Mr. Armstrong... Don't be mad. I'll teach my wife a lesson when we get back."
Henry slowly came to a halt and looked up at Zayn lazily. "When you get back?"
"I can do it now as well..." Zayn's body trembled.
Zayn immediately gritted his teeth before lifting his hand and slapping Karen forcefully twice...
Although Karen felt a great deal of pain, and her ear was buzzing from being struck, she didn't dare say a single word.
Henry didn't even look at the couple. He continued to walk forward with his arm around Georgie.
Zayn quickly followed him. "Mr. Armstrong... I'm sorry... Can you forgive me now?"
Chapter 914
Chapter 914
Karen Campbell quickly caught up with them, too. "Sorry, Mr. Armstrong... Sorry, Georgie... Please forgive us. We were blinded by our foolishness and said stupid things," she said. "Georgie, since we used to be classmates, will you stop being mad, please?" Karen added.
Georgie Clementine frowned slightly when she saw how pitiful Karen seemed.
Georgie was about to forgive them when Henry Armstrong started speaking directly. He said everything that was on Georgie's mind. "It's not quite as simple as you think."
With that, Henry turned to look at Zayn Tulip. "From now on, I won't work with your family's company anymore..."
Georgie instantly tugged at Henry's sleeve. "Forget it. She's already been taught a lesson..."
However, Henry snorted coldly. "Even if you forgive them, I won't... Whoever disrespects you, Georgie, I will make sure they suffer a hundred times worse."
Georgie could feel the weight of his words in the depths of her heart. She was touched.
The next second, Henry directly held Georgie's hand and walked into the room he booked before locking the door behind him.
Zayn and Karen were left standing outside as they shivered in place.
Neither of them had thought that things would get this far.
Looking at the closed door, Karen held Zayn's arm with trembling hands. "Honey, what do we do now?" she asked carefully. Zayn was already filled with fear and anguish. Now that Karen had spoken, the anger he was suppressing immediately surfaced.
Zayn raised his hand once again and slapped Karen across her face twice more.
With two more slaps, Karen's face instantly became swollen.
Both sides of her cheeks were visibly red from Zayn's palm.
At that moment, Karen could only feel that her face was burning with pain, and her ears were buzzing loudly.
"B*tch! It's all because of you!" Zayn yelled coldly. "If you had been more respectful toward Georgie, would this have happened? Why were you bragging? Compared to Henry, your husband is a piece of sh*t." Karen felt equally frantic, but she didn't dare to say anything. All she could do was to hold Zayn's hand while she tried to appease him. "Honey, I was wrong. I really was wrong... Mainly, it was because I didn't know Georgie had become so powerful. I was told that she's still single..."
Zayn glared at Karen hatefully, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he leaned against the cold wall and lit up a cigarette.
When Karen saw this, she carefully moved closer to him and leaned against the wall as he did. “Honey, do you plan to wait until Mr. Armstrong comes out?"
"What else do you think? After offending him, we'd be lucky if he only stopped working with us. Things could be much worse if he abused his power for personal reasons! It's not like you don't know what kind of background he has!" Zayn exclaimed.
Karen gulped and nodded frantically, but she didn't dare to say anything.
This time, she truly felt remorseful.
If she had known Georgie had gotten this powerful, she wouldn't have treated Georgie like that at all.
Compared to Henry, Karen's husband was worthless.
When Karen thought about the things she had done earlier, she felt even more embarrassed.
She could only blame herself for not doing sufficient research after having just returned to the country.
Soon, Karen couldn't help but begin to feel jealous of Georgie.
However, she tried her best to console herself.
She told herself that it wasn't a big deal. Regardless of how great Henry was, he wouldn't always belong to Georgie.
That was because everybody knew Henry was a womanizer. He had changed his girlfriends like he was changing his clothes. When Karen thought about this, she instantly felt much better.
***
In the room, Henry and Georgie sat across from each other at a long, western dining table.
A pure white tablecloth with golden tassels was draped over the dining table.
In the center was a golden, silk-embroidered flag.
The entire setup seemed luxurious and beautiful.
Chapter 915
Chapter 915
A violinist had already been waiting here long ago.
After Georgie Clementine and Henry Armstrong sat down, the violinist began to play the song 'The Moon Represents My Heart'.
Georgie was very surprised to see all of this.
In fact, she felt it was a little exaggerated.
Immediately after that, a waiter brought them a menu.
Georgie quickly skimmed through the menu. After that, she ordered a medium-well tenderloin steak, a set of black truffle pasta, and a glass of orange juice.
On the other hand, Henry ordered a medium tenderloin steak, a bowl of double-boiled matsutake soup, and a bottle of 1982's Lafite.
After the two of them ordered, the waiter quickly left.
They were the only two people left in the large private room.
At this moment, Georgie felt as if she was in the scene of an idol drama series...
"What do you think? Are you pleased?" Henry asked.
"Yeah... Thank you... For helping me out earlier," Georgie said.
"Do you only thank someone by speech?" Henry grinned at her with a glimmer in his eyes.
"Well, I'll pay for this meal..." Georgie said.
"No, I want something else as a gift of thanks," Henry said.
"What do you want?" Georgie went straight to the point.
"Can I ask for anything?" Henry chuckled.
"As long as it's reasonable," Georgie said.
Henry's smile grew wider. "In that case... I want you to have dinner with me for a week."
Georgie was speechless.
Indeed, this was Henry.
He really was good at flirting with women.
He wouldn't let go of any opportunity to get close to her.
"Make it something else..." Georgie said.
"No, I won't... That's what I want. You said it yourself. As long as it's reasonable, I could ask for it. I don't think this request is unreasonable, is it?" Henry asked. Georgie was at a loss for words.
"It's been decided then. From tomorrow on, we'll have dinner together for a week," Henry said.
Georgie had nothing to say.
"It's a deal. You can't change your mind... You said it. You wanted to thank me properly," Henry said.
Georgie remained silent.
She then let out a long, helpless sigh. "Fine... But, about Zayn and Karen, let's drop it. Zayn has already taught Karen a lesson. Consider things even between the two of us," Georgie said.
Henry raised his brows. "Fine, I'll do as you say... If you want it to stop, I'll stop. If you want it to continue, I'll keep messing with them till the very end. You can have anything you want... As long as you want it," Henry said.
"Let's put an end to it right now," Georgie said.
Georgie didn't think it was necessary to go as far as Henry mentioned for what happened today.
"Okay... I'll do as you say, honey," Henry said.
Georgie's face instantly darkened again when she heard Henry addressing her like this. "Henry, I told you... You're not allowed to call me..."
However, Henry shrugged nonchalantly. "But you silently admitted to it earlier..." He cut her off.
After spending some time together over the past few days, Henry could see that his method of being relentless did work on Georgie.
Chapter 916
Chapter 916
แ
Since it did work on her, he ought to keep using it until she fell for him.
Georgie Clementine tensed up. "That was a special case, alright? It's over now, so stop taking advantage of me."
"Fine. Let's call you something else since you hate the word 'honey'. Should I go with 'babe'? 'Sweetheart'? What about 'darling'?" Henry Armstrong teased.
Georgie cringed at all of them, goosebumps racing down her skin.
"What 'babe', 'sweetheart', and 'darling'? They're all disgusting!" Georgie was nauseated by Henry's shamelessness.
Henry's mischievous grin did not falter even for a second. "So... You prefer 'honey' over those names, right? Alright then, I'll keep calling you 'honey'. Otherwise, I'll call you 'babe', 'sweetheart', and 'darling'..." Georgie was at a loss for words.
She felt like she had been pestered by a chewing gum.
She could not get rid of him no matter how hard she tried.
"Henry! Is it fun to tease me?"
"Well, it's pretty interesting."
"Can you stop being so shameless?"
"Hehehe, no..."
Speechless with indignation, Georgie ignored him and pulled out her phone to play Honor of Kings.
She glanced at the time. The food should be ready after a round of the game.
"Honey, what are you looking at?"
"I'm playing Honor of Kings."
Henry chuckled at her response.
Blush seared through Georgie's cheeks, all the way to her neck when she heard him laughing.
She frowned and glared at Henry frustratedly. "Henry! How dare you take advantage of me?!" Henry shrugged innocently, his smile widening. "Did I?"
"Honey, I'm allowed to call you 'honey' from now on, right?" "Since when did I give you the permission to do so?"
"Why did you answer me when I called you 'honey' just now?"
"I was playing a game, alright? It was an instinctive reaction."
Henry's smile widened. "Your 'instinctive reaction' reveals your innermost feelings."
Henry was undoubtedly the most shameless person Georgie had ever met in her life.
She really did not understand how such a ridiculous man would exist on earth.
Georgie frowned helplessly before continuing, "Henry. Stop it. I hate it when you call me that."
However, Henry turned a deaf ear to her reluctance. He rose to his feet and walked to her side.
Meanwhile, Georgie was selecting the landing area.
Seeing the area she was in, Henry could not help but grin. "Honey, we're in the same area. Shall we play together? I'll lead us to victory."
Georgie rolled her eyes at him. "You? Lead us to victory?"
"Of course. What? Do you not believe me? What level are you, honey?" Henry looked confident.
"The strongest king," Georgie replied without hesitation.
Her face turned cherry red as soon as she answered.
What the hell? Why did she respond to him again?
Henry Armstrong!
Shameless bastard!
"What a coincidence! I'm the strongest king too. The strongest king, and the strongest queen... We're a perfect match for each other, aren't we?" Henry beamed at her. Georgie could not care any less about him. She averted her gaze back to her phone screen and focused on the game.
Suddenly and without warning, Henry took away her phone.
Georgie frowned in disdain. "What the heck are you doing?"
Chapter 917
Chapter 917
"Hang on, I want to play with you," Henry Amstrong said.
As he spoke, he took out his phone and logged onto his Honor of Kings game account. He added Georgie Clementine's game ID before sending her an invitation to form a team. After sending the invitation, he switched to Georgie's phone and accepted the invitation.
Georgie got up from her chair right away, trying to snatch her phone back.
However, Henry held her phone high up in the air.
She stretched her hand, tiptoed, and even jumped as high as she could. Unfortunately, her efforts were simply in vain.
Having no other choice, she took off her shoes, climbed onto the chair, and stood up to snatch her phone back.
Just as she was about to reach for her phone, Henry wrapped his hand around her waist and lifted her from the chair.
Georgie's heart instantly started racing frantically.
Her face was as red as an apple.
"Henry, what are you doing? Let go of me!" she ordered discontentedly.
"Girl, are you blushing? You're shy, aren't you?" Henry teased her.
He cracked into a smile as he joked, "Your face is so red. I bet your heart is racing too. Let me hear it..."
Upon hearing that, Georgie immediately turned to warn him with a serious expression etched upon her face. "Show some respect, Henry Armstong! Put me down!" She then started to struggle.
Nonetheless, Henry did not have the slightest intention to let her go. "I'm going to drop your phone if you don't stop struggling. Don't blame me if that happens." Georgie quieted down when she heard that. She steadied her breath and then glowered at him angrily. "Fine. Put me down then."
"I will if you call me 'honey'," Henry tittered.
"In your dreams! You're getting far too cheeky," Georgie hissed.
Henry wore a smiling face no matter what she said.
He put her back on the chair carefully before shifting his gaze to the phone in his hand.
The invitation has been processed, and the matching was completed.
It was time for them to choose their heroes.
Henry was finally willing to return the phone to Georgie now. "There you go. Honey, let's play together. I can assist you. What do you think?"
Without paying any heed to him, Georgie grumpily grabbed her phone and chose Diao Chan as her hero.
Noticing she had already chosen her hero, Henry immediately tapped on the Support, Sun Bin.
The game started shortly after they had selected their heroes.
Georgie quickly bought her equipment and went to the bottom lane.
Henry caught up with her once he had chosen his tools and equipment.
Then, he went back to his seat and sat down with his legs crossed. He took a sneak peek at Georgie while cheering, "Good luck, honey."
Georgie ignored him and charged at the opponent's AD.
Noticing that, Henry instantly ran after her and started a 2-versus-2 fight at the bottom lane.
Though this was their first time playing Honor of Kings together, the two had established excellent chemistry in the game. They worked in tandem and defeated the opponents in no time. The game had only started a few minutes before they harvested a double kill at the bottom lane.
On top of that, both of the opponents were killed by Georgie.
Although Georgie hated Henry very much, she could not deny that Henry was a skilled gamer with quick response and deft movements.
This was especially true for the battle just now. It was splendid.
He was the best Support she had ever encountered throughout the years.
Slowly and gradually, the detestation and arrogance on her face disappeared and were replaced by tenderness.
She started to communicate with Henry, demolished the opponents' turrets with him, and fought the enemies together with him...
They would instruct or guide one another to do something in the game from time to time. Both of them were brilliant players, and their minds were in sync, so they had no problem understanding each other. When they were in the middle of the game, the opponents began to fight for the Baron.
Without further ado, Henry and Georgie rushed to the Baron pit together with their other teammates.
Soon, a 5-versus-5 group battle broke out at the Baron pit.
Thanks to their exceptional teamwork, Georgie and Henry managed to overpower the opponent team by killing three of their players in a blink of an eye.
Chapter 918
Chapter 918
Right at this moment, the opponent's AD started to spam powerful skills at them. Henry Armstrong immediately ran in front of Georgie Clementine to protect her.
In the end, Georgie fled the battleground with her last drop of blood, and hid in the bushes behind her teammates. Henry had almost run out of blood too.
The opponent's AD tried to attack him again. He nimbly dodged all his attacks to prevent himself from getting killed.
His heroic act warmed Georgie's heart.
Nevertheless, the opponent's AD soon withdrew her attention from Henry. The opponent's AD had now changed his target. He charged at her team's Mid Lane and launched a series of attacks.
The Mid Lane tried to counterattack his invasion but was in a vulnerable position. In the end, the two of them died with their blood on each other's hands.
Finally, Georgie jumped out of the bushes and spammed her skills, sending the opponent's Support to death.
The game ended in a ferocious battle, and the victory was theirs.
Suddenly, the Mid Lane in their team sent a message in the group chat.
"Hey you, Young Master Armstrong. You were right behind me just now. Why didn't you block the attacks for me? I'm the Mid Lane!" Fishy With Wings complained. Henry snorted coldly when he opened the message.
"I have to stay alive to protect my girl," Young Master Armstrong replied.
"Damn. My life is more valuable than your girl's. Do you know that?" Fishy With Wings jabbed.
"Her life might be worthless to you, but it's priceless in my heart," Young Master Armstrong said calmly.
Georgie did not know whether to cry or laugh as she read their conversation.
She sighed helplessly before lifting her head to meet Henry's eyes. "I'm not your girl or your 'honey'. Can you stop acting like this?"
Henry smiled, totally unaffected by the desperation in her tone. "You're not now, but you will be in the future. I'm just calling you 'honey' in advance." Georgie's face clouded over. "Henry, where the hell did you get your confidence from?"
"I was born with it, I guess."
She was totally speechless!
At this moment, Fishy With Wings texted in the group again. "Fine, fine, fine. You're a cool guy, okay? I don't deserve to be protected by you."
"Of course you don't," Young Master Armstrong replied heartlessly.
ແ
"..." Georgie, The Little Fairy, joined the chat.
"I'm so jealous of you, @Georgie The Little Fairy," Fishy With Wings said sarcastically.
"Honey, I love you," Henry interrupted.
"Stop acting lovey-dovey here please! I'm here to play games," Fishy With Wings pleaded.
Georgie, The Little Fairy, remained silent.
"The two of you are such a lovely couple," Fishy With Wings lamented.
"Of course. My honey is the cutest girl in the world." Young Master Armstrong could not stop flaunting his girl.
Georgie was truly tired of Henry.
He was unbelievably shameless.
Georgie did not want to waste her time on him anymore. She tapped a few buttons to replenish her equipment at the base before returning to the bottom lane and fighting the enemies. Henry immediately caught up with her.
Once again, the two of them defeated the enemies with their excellent teamwork and opened up a new pathway at the bottom lane in just a few seconds.
The two went straight to the highland.
Sensing the danger, the opponent team rushed back to the base turret instantaneously.
However, to everyone's surprise, the five of them were killed in a flash.
Chapter 919
Chapter 919
The two of them were outnumbered, but it did not mean that they were at a disadvantage. They killed the opponent team and headed straight to the inhibitor. By the time their teammates arrived, the inhibitor was almost destroyed.
Their teammates immediately helped them attack the inhibitor, which exploded in the very next second.
The huge word 'VICTORY" popped up on both of their screens.
Georgie Clementine enjoyed the game very much. It was a fun and exciting one.
Even her heart was filled to the brim with joy and delight.
She could not recall the last time she met such an ingenious Support like Henry Armstrong.
Fighting with five players at the same time was easy peasy when she was with him.
Georgie let out a long sigh while staring at her screen, satisfied. She then looked at Henry and praised him, "I didn't expect you to be so good in this game."
"Come on. I'm an obsessive gamer. Be it Honor of Kings or Heroes Assemble; there isn't a game that I'm bad at," Henry replied happily.
"Cool," Georgie could not stop complimenting him.
Henry was not a humble guy, either. He continued to boast about himself. "You've never seen me playing AD before. I'm even better at playing AD. I can make my way to the base turret without any help from the Support."
Georgie was astonished. "Are you serious?"
"Of course I am. I can even show you if you want."
After seeing the way he played just now, Georgie believed that he was not joking. She gave him a thumbs-up to express her sincere respect and admiration.
His gaming skills made her feel ashamed of herself.
Right at that moment, a waiter walked into their room with a gilt food trolley.
Henry glanced at the waiter before putting away his phone and casually crossing his legs. He fixed his eyes upon Georgie and said, "I'll show you how I usually play as an AD after the meal. You'll be amazed." "I have to go back to work after lunch. I'm busy." Georgie rejected him immediately.
She just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible. She did not want to stay with him any longer.
"It's okay. We can hang out some other time," Henry replied patiently.
Georgie did not say another word. She picked up the cutlery on the table and started eating.
Henry was not angry at all. He beamed at her and poured a glass of red wine for her.
However, Georgie did not lift her head to meet his eyes nor pay any attention to him. She continued to eat silently.
"Honey, this wine tastes really good. Let's toast."
"No thanks. I have to work, and I have to drive later." Georgie rejected him again.
"Yes, you're right. You shouldn't drink since you're driving today. Nevermind, I'll drink it myself."
Meanwhile, Karen Campbell and Zayn Tulip were still waiting for Henry outside the private room. Their jaws almost hit the floor when they saw the interaction between Georgie and Henry.
Who would have thought that the high and mighty Young Master Armstrong would swallow his pride and lower himself for a woman?
Karen seriously did not understand how Georgie dared to be so rude to Henry.
Neither did she understand why Henry was not mad with her.
Rumor had it that Henry was a bad-tempered guy.
Why was he acting like a Mr. Good Guy in front of Georgie?
***
After the two had finished their meals, Georgie wiped her mouth with the white handkerchief from the table and reapplied her lipstick. She then rose to her feet and turned to Henry indifferently. "Let's go." Henry nodded obediently and left the private room together with her.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, Karen and Zayn immediately hurried to them and stood in their way.
Georgie and Henry nearly jumped out of their skins when the two appeared before them out of nowhere.
They totally did not expect the two to wait for them...
Before they could even react to it, Karen threw her arms around Georgie's and mumbled, "My old friend, are you... are you still mad at me? Can you forgive me? Hmm?"
On the other hand, Zayn stared at Henry and apologized sincerely. "Young Master Armstrong, please forgive us. I'll definitely punish my wife when I get home."
Karen hugged Georgie's arm as tight as she could and pleaded humbly, "Please, my old friend. Please..
Chapter 920
Chapter 920
Henry Amstrong did not speak a word. He titled his head to look at Georgie Clementine, his hand around her waist.
Georgie did not move or struggle. Instead, she allowed Henry to continue holding her. She gazed at Karen Campbell and sighed. "Fine. Karen, this is my first and last time helping you. There's no next time." Upon hearing that, Karen instantly let out a long sigh of relief. Her hammering heart could finally return to her chest now.
The same went for Zayn Tulip, who was standing on the side.
Zayn nodded and bowed to Georgie repeatedly. "Thank you, Georgie. Thank you so much. Thank you."
Karen and Zayn immediately turned to Henry and bowed to him respectfully, expressing their gratitude in unison. "Thank you, Young Master Armstrong. Thank you, Georgie. Thank you very much." "Let's go." Georgie averted her gaze to Henry.
"Sure. I'm all at your service, honey." Henry's eyes were full of fondness for her.
Karen forced a smile and interrupted their conversation. "Young Master Armstrong, Georgie, I know an interesting place to have fun. Shall we go together next time?"
Though Karen knew that Georgie and Henry most probably would not last long, she still tried to cozy up to Georgie in an attempt to win her favor.
After all, she was not to be sniffed at before there were any changes in their relationship.
"No thanks. I'm busy." Georgie smiled half-heartedly.
Following that statement, she left her old friends and marched toward the staircase. Henry immediately caught up with her and continued to wrap her arm around her waist. Their intimacy was enviable.
Just as Georgie turned left to the staircase, she accidentally slipped and sprained her right ankle.
Pain shot up her left foot, causing her to cry out.
Her body fell forward in the very next second.
Fortunately, Henry immediately tightened his grip on her waist and pulled her back in time.
Georgie crashed into Henry's arms. Subconsciously and without warning, she hugged the man as tight as she could to balance herself.
"Are you okay?" Henry asked anxiously.
He then imitated Georgie and draped his arms around her tiny frame.
For a split second, Georgie's heart started hammering against her chest again, her cheeks flushed.
Realizing that what she was doing was a little inappropriate, Georgie quickly pushed him away and escaped from his embrace, panting and breathless. "I'm... I'm okay." However, stinging pain attacked her right ankle again.
She stumbled at the indescribable pain, unable to stand properly.
She immediately propped herself against the wall, frowning at Henry. "No, I'm not okay. I sprained my ankle."
Henry knelt in front of Georgie as soon as he heard that she was injured. He held her right foot and carefully examined her right ankle.
Her right ankle was already red and swollen, along with her entire sole.
Henry's heart ached when he saw that.
"You have to go to the hospital now." Henry frowned worriedly.
He lifted her head to look at Georgie before adding, "Let's go to the hospital now."
Georgie nodded lightly, her brows knitted.
Grasping the situation, Karen and Zayn immediately rushed to the two of them like a brown-noser.
Karen cautiously held Georgie's arm and asked about her condition with a concerned expression. "Georgie, are you okay? It looks terrible. Oh my god, it breaks my heart to look at you like this. Let's go. We'll take you to the hospital."
Georgie could not help but snicker at the startling contrast before and after Karen found out that Henry was her boyfriend.
Georgie glared at her apathetically while pushing away her hands. "Thank you for your concern. I don't need your help."
Nonetheless, Karen did not want to waste such a fantastic opportunity to get closer to Georgie. "No, no, no. We should go with you. It's better to have more people to look after you."
"There is no need for that." Henry's reply was curt and straightforward. He got up from the floor and princess-hugged Georgie right away.
The abrupt motion made Georgie blush again.
Georgie subconsciously threw her arms around his neck. She met his eyes sheepishly. "Hey, I can walk on my own..."
