Chapter 327 - Marcus's Decision
"Bro, may I dance with her?" Then he turned to Sophia who had a stunned expression on her face. "Can I?" He asked her softly, wearing a gentle smile on his face.
Sophia didn't expect that Matthew would invite her to dance. After she recovered from the shock, Sophia smiled back at him while nodding her head.
Marcus also agreed with Matthew's request. Marcus let go of Sophia as Matthew extended his right hand to her. Sophia gladly accepted it.
Marcus left the two of them on the dance floor as he went to the improvised bar counter that was serving free drinks for everyone. HRM students were the ones who created that improvised bar specifically for tonight's occasion.
John and Lester were also there at the bar counter as if they were waiting for Marcus. It did not take long when Marcus joined them.
John gave him a glass of wine. He accepted it and took a sip before he sat down beside them.
"It looks like you are enjoying Sophia's company tonight, buddy!" Lester commented, tapping Marcus's shoulder.
"You even gave her the honor to have your first dance tonight. The two of you caught lots of attention from the other people here. If this is a JS Prom then probably the two of you will be crowned as King and Queen of Hearts and Sweetheart of the night," John said at him teasingly.
Marcus just shook his head, smiling at them.
"Are you planning to ignore Athena today? She's already free for her usherette's duty. She's with her friends now," Lester pointed Athena and Jade together with their friends, gathering at one table.
Marcus didn't answer him. He just heaved a deep sigh. But he couldn't help but smile as he remembered the kiss he shared with Athena in their house.
"Let's not talk about Athena right now. Let's talk about Sophia. Are you still going to do our bet? We also made preparation for that and chose a perfect place where you can do it," John informed Marcus, a sly smile playing across his face.
Marcus fell silent after hearing that. This bet was bothering him since yesterday. He was still undecided whether he should do it or not.
"Why are you silent? Are you having a second thought now?" Lester asked him, lifting an eyebrow.
"You can bring her to the Queen's Hall. We already set everything there. You can seduce her there and no one will bother you. We will make sure of that. You can do anything you want with," John said, reassuring him.
Marcus was having conflicting thoughts right now. He glanced at Sophia who was still dancing with Matthew.
He had to admit that Sophia looked very stunning tonight. He was just a man and thinking about doing it with her was quite tempting.
Part of him didn't want to do it. But part of him wanted to try. He was also curious if Sophia would give in to him. If given a chance, would she really do it with him? Would she surrender herself to him?
"Sophia is a very wholesome girl. I'm not sure if she will do it with me," Marcus finally spoke up, voicing out his concern.
John and Lester exchanged meaningful glances with one another before bursting out into a peal of laughter.
"Whoah, this is the first time you look problematic. Are you not confident with your charm?" Lester teased him.
John placed his arm around Marcus's shoulders and said, "You don't have to worry. We will help you. Just leave everything to us and just focus on seducing her."
Marcus's brows knitted into a frown. "What are you planning to do?"
Lester just shrugged his shoulders, not giving him a specific answer. John, on the other hand, smirked at him. He was the one who answered Marcus.
"Nothing. We just prepared a big surprise for her in the Queen's Hall that will help you win her heart… and claim her body easily." John said to him meaningfully.
After saying that, John and Lester winked at each other. Marcus just looked at them, clueless about the secret but plan his two friends and his sister talked about behind his back.
Marcus had no idea that they would try to film and record whatever would happen between him and Sophia in the Queen's Hall. That's the main reason why John and Lester set up everything there.
They installed hidden cameras to the venue they had mentioned to Marcus. And to ensure that Sophia won't be able to refuse Marcus once he made a move on her, they prepared the wine wherein they mixed a drug with it.
Once Sophia took it, her sexual drive would be triggered because of its aphrodisiac effect. This would make Sophia lose her control over her body and allow Marcus to claim her just to feel relief from the effect of the drugs.
John and Lester gave Marcus instructions on what he should do once they arrived in the Queen's Hall. They arranged the venue with a romantic vibe, there were roses and champagne.
The place had dim light but it was enough for the camera to clearly record Sophia's face while they were doing the act. They shared the plan with Marcus except for the drugs and 'recording stuff'.
Marcus also made up his mind. He would do it, not only for the sake of the bet but also because he wanted her. He wanted to claim her. He was tempted by Sophia's beauty, that's why his hesitation disappeared.
"Ok, I understand. Just make sure that no one will go to the Queen's Hall. I can't afford anyone to see us there. Can you help me with that?" Marcus asked his friends.
Lester and John just gave him thumbs up.
"You can count on us, Buddy. We will not let anyone get near the Queen's Hall. No one will disturb you," Lester said, reassuring him.
"That's true. Just focus on your performance, Buddy," John winked at him.
"Okay. I will bring her there, after this dance."
