Chapter 275-The Deception And My Monster Mate
Helanie:
"Lamar, don’t worry, she’ll be fine. I’m with her," Rayden said, noticing all the anxiety Lamar had shown ever since it was announced that I’d be paired with Rayden for the task.
We stood outside the cabin, ready to head out and take our places. It had been a hectic day. I had this growing uneasiness that I couldn’t share with anyone at the moment.
I avoided everyone and stood silently with Lamar in the corner. Jenny had been very friendly and all smiles with Rayden the whole day. I noticed the way Lamar looked at her and then how his expression turned upset.
"Let’s trade spots," he sternly asked Rayden, who clearly hadn’t expected it.
Rayden quickly shook his head in response to Lamar’s request. "We’ve practiced all day and made plans. I don’t think it’s a good idea to change the teams now."
I knew Rayden wouldn’t agree. By now, the others had started to gather around us, curious about what was happening.
"I think it’ll be fine. If she’s not comfortable, she can go with Lamar," Rudy said, stepping in and clearly annoying Sydney. Salem hadn’t shown any reaction that made me think she disliked me since we arrived, but I still didn’t trust the two sisters.
"No! I’m fine. I don’t want the plan to change," I argued. I didn’t want to switch teams.
Everyone immediately looked at Lamar’s face, as if waiting to see how he’d react to me refusing his request.
"Helanie! A minute!" Lamar groaned, placing his hand on my arm to gesture for me to step aside.
