Girl Get Rid Of That Jerk (Williams and Shawn) novel Chapter 494

“We’re playing King’s Game,” Carolyn said with a smile.

Tessa grinned and stretched out her hand. “Deal me in. I want to play, too.”

“Of course.” Carolyn turned to the group. “Everyone, this is Tessa, a friend I met while I was studying overseas.”

With a new player joining, everyone tossed their cards in and drew fresh ones.

A new round started.

This time, Eason ended up with the King card.

He looked around the circle, trying to hide a mischievous smile. “Three of Spades—pick someone of the opposite sex and confess your love.”

“Who’s got the Three of Spades?” Brian called out, half-laughing.

People checked their hands. Olivia, looking like a nervous honor student, quietly raised her hand. “That’s me,” she said, barely above a whisper.

Eason paused, surprised. He hadn’t really thought about who’d get picked. He just threw out the challenge without thinking.

For a second, he felt awkward. Olivia was always so reserved and quiet. He didn’t want her to feel uncomfortable. “We can switch it up if you want,” he offered. “I’ll think of something else.”

Olivia shook her head, her voice steady. “It’s fine. If everyone else can do it, so can I.”

She glanced around the room, weighing her options. Joshua and Brian were immediately out—both were dating her close friends, and even as a joke, that felt off-limits.

Her brother would’ve been the easy choice. If she confessed to George, everyone would just laugh it off.

But then her eyes flicked to George’s side, where his wife Tracey sat watching. The idea of “confessing love” to her own brother in front of her sister-in-law? Even as a joke, it felt wrong.

Olivia was nothing if not considerate. She’d never do something that would make Tracey uncomfortable.

That left Watson and Eason.

Her gaze moved between the two. Eason felt his heart rate pick up.
