Chapter 97: I Love One Woman
The group had a lot of fun during outdoor activities. They prepared for low-ropes courses. They would do a series of five challenges that they needed to solve together as a team. Sun arranged them into three groups and surprisingly Yera and Xander were both in the same group.
The course became progressively more difficult as the afternoon wore on. Yera was sweating profusely. Her beautiful hair were arranged in a bun and during various activities the strands of her hair would fall on her face making her look adorable, irresistible in the eyes of Xander. She could even feel Xander’s eyes staring at her more often than not, and she couldn’t help but unconsciously blush whenever their gazes met.
"These two are too obvious," Rizie muttered while watching their sweet, almost non-noticeable, interactions with each other, she stood at some distance from them with Dion watching them intently when she grabbed the bottle of water from Dion. She was closely observing Dr. Song and Dr. CEO and she could confirm that her guts never went wrong.
"Hey that’s mine," Dion complained. Rizie ignored him and drank the water from his bottle without any hesitation.
Dion’s face crumpled while he scorned, "Geez, drinking water from my bottle is almost like kissing me!"
Rizie laughed and said, "I’m very thirsty, so I don’t mind kissing anybody to get a drink for me. Here. Geez, you react too much for just a bottle of water."
Dion rolled his eyes and thought what made Rizie feel so comfortable with him so much so that it started getting troublesome for him. She was now actually invading his privacy!
On the other side, the teams were struggling with their tasks and they had all advanced to the last—and the most difficult of the five tasks—climbing a twelve-foot wall. Yera hesitated in completing this task and was contemplating how to meet this challenge when she heard that mellow voice strumming all the strings of her heart. "You can do it." Yera felt Xander’s breath near her ears and heard him whisper as he offered his hand.
"We have to get each and everyone over the wall. Help each other until everyone has successfully scaled the wall. The timer does not matter, just make sure everyone has made it." Xander said as he lead the team.
The exercise took some serious teamwork and a deliberate strategy. Yera could not help but admire Xander on how he lead their team. He encouraged everyone and would listen intently to each suggestion of any of the team members.
They all ended up successfully completing the task while everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves throughout the course. .
