Why are you lying?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy glared at Rudy and muttered, \"Why is he here? The last thing I want is him to meet them.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy smirked from the corner of his lips and said, \"Hey there, I am Rudy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\" Rosse clapped her hands. \"You are the step-boy… ther.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzan elbowed Rosse to stop her from spilling the beans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother. She means step-brother.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. I am Lucy's step-brother. And I assume you are her friends.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosse moved her hand forward and said, \"Hello, my name is Rosse. Lucy's best friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Rosse. Nice to meet you.\" Rudy shook hands with a charming smile on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am Suzan. Lucy's childhood friend. She might have told you about me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy moved to Suzan and shook hands with her as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She hasn't said a word about you, sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzan's face turned pale after hearing that. She glanced at Lucy, who was trying her best to avoid eye contact with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you are…\" Rudy looked at Leah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leah. I am sorry for mistaking you as a thug. You look just like one, so I couldn't help it. It's a bad habit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's okay. I am happy that Lucy has a friend who is protective of her.\" Rudy forced a smile and shook hands with Leah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leah also forced a smile and shook hands with Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey.\" Rosse grabbed Rudy's hand and said, \"Is it okay if I call you Rudy bro?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You can call me anything you want. My sister's friends are like my sisters.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm~\" Rosse pondered in amusement and mumbled, \"If Lucy is your step-sister, then we are you step-friends?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzan elbowed Rosse and pulled her hands away from Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop step-ing everything!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You have funny friends, Lucy,\" Rudy chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, only this stupid is an idiot in our group.,\" Suzan quipped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rudy stared at Suzan's face and asked, \"Are your glasses just for fashion or you genuinely have…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They are real.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are going to have difficulty swimming. And I would suggest you to not go on the rides alone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. I have been to the pools before.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The glasses suit you, though.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…!\" Suzan's face flushed a little.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's like… the glasses were invented just so you could wear them one day. They are perfect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tha…nks…\" Suzan clenched Rosse's hand tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Lucy couldn't stop glaring at Rudy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>'This is why I didn't want them to meet him. He is so carefree and blunt!'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lucy grabbed Suzan's hand and said, \"We are going to the washroom. Excuse us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls went to the washroom and entered their cubicle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was so hot!\" Rosse exclaimed. \"Lucy! Why didn't you tell us that you had a hottie at home?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you think, Suzan? What are your first impression of him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He said the glasses suit me. No one has ever told that to me before…\" she muttered with a flushed face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leah? Your thoughts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He looks intimidating and handsome. But that's just it. I would rate him 8 out of 10 for looks. But he seems to be faking his personality. Not a boyfriend material. He seems like a guy who would definitely cheat in a relationship.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are looking too much into him! Damn, I wish I had a brother so hot like him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What would you have done if he was your brother?\" Suzan asked in a taunt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I mean, step-brother. I wouldn't want a brother like him. But if he was my step-brother… I might have banged him. You know, just for fun. Nothing serious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Agreed, but I won't do that. I think I would fall in love with him if I tried to interact with him every day,\" Suzan released a sigh as she flushed the toilet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know right! Now I know why Lucy is so obsessed with him!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girls left the cubicle and went to wash their hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suzan shot a glare at Lucy and commented, \"Apparently, she is so obsessed with him that she never mentioned anything about her childhood friend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have! I have told him about you, but I never used your name. And we started living together recently, so how do you expect me to tell him everything?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, shit!\" Rosse bit her tongue. \"I forgot to ask him about his phone number!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I think that's a bad idea.\" Leah jerked her wet hands before pulling a tissue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\" Rosse asked with a confused look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A girl asking for a boy's number is a major sign of her liking him. Of course, it's the same if it's the other way around. Unless it's work or school related, I guess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leah passed new tissues to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And you have no relation with him except through Lucy. You two just met.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no. I don't want his number for… anyway, I wanted to ask him if he could help me with an issue. I will tell you later. Let's wait for Melinda and Rina.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Melinda and Rina split up with the group, they went to Reina's office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rina opened the door, but it was locked from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sis?\" She knocked on the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few seconds later, Reina opened the door with a surprised look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn't let Rina come inside, and instead stepped outside and closed the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rina. What are you doing here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uhh… I told you that I am coming here with my friends…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that… so…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you acting like this?\" Rina asked with a judging look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Acting like what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rina noticed that Reina was preventing her from looking inside her office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't tell me you were fooling around with your boyfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course not! I would never do that during work hours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She responded, forgetting all the times she had fun with Rudy in her office during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, what are you hiding inside?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nothing. The room is a mess.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on?\" Rudy asked from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>",1064,"2026-06-06T12:42:24.769Z",1,"novelbin.me","8c4e3ce53955bc644f8d257f3d136583e07f7c15a7a3bc6cd9f181528c3c160a","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-812","esper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-chapter-810",1163,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fesper-harem-in-the-apocalypse-cover.jpg"]
