Chapter: 1573

Alyssa reflected on the day's events and felt a sense of reluctance.

“I want to go home. Do you guys still want to stay here?"

Greta, savoring a rare free trip, was not ready to leave just yet.

“Yeah. And you're actually getting quite good at skiing. If you leave now without fully enjoying it, wouldn’t that be a waste?"

Greta then recalled the two individuals who had embarrassed her today.

A surge of anger washed over her. She couldn't fathom where those two pretenders, who seemed like amateurs but were actually incredibly skilled at skiing, had come from, causing her such embarrassment. It was exasperating.

“Do you believe that the three of us as ski instructors aren't capable of teaching you?" Greta inquired.

Alyssa muttered under her breath, reflecting that the true talent lay with the two individuals she had encountered today. The woman she met had only been practicing briefly but had already outperformed Greta, proving her exceptional skill.

“I'll extend my stay by two more days. I'm heading to bed now," Alyssa said, eager to return to her hotel room and sleep.

She preferred solitude to the company of her so-called friends.

Unbeknownst to her, after she left, the remaining three women began to conspire.

Greta said, "That couple we encountered today will surely return to the ski resort tomorrow, either to the blue or red slope. They embarrassed me today, and I need to even the score."

One of her friends replied, “Exactly, she did it deliberately. Perhaps she wanted to impress Alyssa. Greta, we're behind whatever you decide to do.”

The other friend added, “We're tight-knit friends. We'll support you as long as it's feasible.”

Greta's smile turned malicious. “Just wait and see what happens tomorrow."

Later that night, Norah turned in bed and rose. She was about to sleep when Kelvin summoned Sean to discuss something crucial about the Sacredice. She took a shower and then lay on her bed, scrolling through her phone.

She was preoccupied with thoughts of the woman who had approached Sean earlier, feeling frustrated about it.

Unsure of how long Sean‘s discussion might last, she decided to take a rooftop walk.

As she waited for the elevator, she heard footsteps and voices from the nearby stairwell. Who could be on the staircase at this hour?

She initially glanced down, intending to overlook it, but then a familiar voice caught her attention.

“Why have you brought me here?"

“Alyssa, there's something I need to tell you. Let's go to the rooftop.”

“Just tell me here and do it quickly. I want to go back to sleep." The woman's voice carried a tone of annoyance. "Since you've dragged me out in the middle of the night, if you don't have anything significant to say, you might as well leave by yourself tomorrow."

The man's voice sounded desperate, saying, “Alyssa, I like you. I've liked you for a long time. Will you consider accepting me?"
