Chapter 540: Bidding for systems.
Alix feigned surprise and she gasped before laughing and covering her face, channeling the actresses she had seen on television.
"Oh my God! i cannot believe you are all here."
Even though she was trying, she failed spectacularly to portray the right emotions. There was something lacking in the sincerity of her surprise.
Holea switched off the music and sighed, "Forget it everyone, she is faking it. Look at her, she doesn’t even have one tear in her eyes."
When Alix was genuinely surprised or overwhelmed, tears were her usually her first reaction, not that dry ass Oh my God and award worthy gasp.
Some of them groaned in disappointment while others passed around different notes of money, having bid on whether she could successfully be surprised or not.
The party was not ended anyway and it officially started in full swing. She was treated to hugs and praise from her family and friends, and surprisingly students as well. Expertly, she navigated through the guests and thanked everyone that had showed up to congratulate her on her first tour.
She even brought out some of that liberated spice cake for them to taste before temporarily hiding in the kitchen to yawn and catch a break, super body or not, she was exhausted.
Holea and Jin Kang traced her to the kitchen and joined her there, grabbing sits to keep her company.
"Should we send everyone away so that you can sleep?" Holea immediately expressed concern for her friend.
From an eleven hour plane ride to an ambush by reporters and then a party, Alix was bound to be tired. If she chose to send everyone away, they would be understanding for sure.
