"Pairing me up with you was the worst thing that ever happened to me." "Whatever! Why did you call me here in the first place," Danxo inquired. "While you were busy cruising, I was being diligent.

It was one of the happiest day of her life cause for the first time, things were going out just as planned. She just hoped nothing terrible happened.
