AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Roxane, who had been referred to as Sebastien’s wife, scratched her ears in embarrassment. She changed the subject and asked:

– Um… Jessi told me to visit an escape room. Are you free? Let’s visit it together and play…

Before Sebastien could respond, Enzo said, annoyed:

-If you want to play, you can look for me. Why are you looking for it? Do you think he looks like someone who would play in an escape room? Does he even seem to know anything about escape rooms?

Roxane: …

“Brother, you are really a stumbling block in my way!”

Sebastian ignored Enzo and said:

– I’m free.

She sighed inwardly with relief.

– Jessi has already reserved the place. We can just go straight to it.

Enzo said mockingly:

– You are the president of the Flores group. How can you leave during work hours to go to an escape room?

– If you need to stay in the company every day, then why did I hire you?

Sebastian retorted nonchalantly.

Enzo choked, but he refused to give up.

-So, I want to go too! There are so many people in the company anyway. You won’t go bankrupt if I’m gone all afternoon.

“How can I let you go to an escape room with him? What if he takes advantage of her?”

Sebastien: …

“Indeed, sending him to cause trouble for Diego was the right choice!”

…

The biggest escape room in M City.

When Jessica saw that Enzo had come with Sebastien and Roxane, she asked with disdain:

– What are you doing here ?

He put his hands in his pockets and said defiantly:

– Of course, I came to play! Otherwise, did you think I came here to flirt with you?

Jessica said sarcastically:

– Oh thank you ! I had to destroy a universe in my previous life for someone like you to flirt with me in this life.

– Please! In your previous life, you destroyed a universe. This is why you can’t have my love in this life!

– YOU!

While the duo was bickering, Roxane stepped forward to stop them.

– Um, Jessi, how much longer do we have to wait?

Jessica made fun of Enzo before looking at Roxane and saying with a smile:

– We don’t have to wait for the room I chose to get in now.

Then she motioned for the staff to come over.

Staff confirmed the number of people and made sure none of them had heart conditions before giving them walkie-talkies, flashlights and a small box of medicine.

Enzo pointed to a few players nearby and asked curiously:

– Why don’t they have the medicine box?

The staff member smiled and replied:

– The room they chose is the simplest, so they don’t need a medicine box.

An ominous feeling rose in Enzo’s heart when he heard these words. He asked:

– What play are we playing in?

The staff member responded:

– This is the scariest room here. It’s called the “midnight red dress.” So far, no one has emptied the room.

Enzo’s face turned green and he looked at Jessica.

Jessica shrugged her shoulders and said innocently:

-Why are you looking at me? You’re not afraid, are you?

Enzo chuckled with an unnatural expression on his face:

– Me ? Afraid? I only fear that you will be afraid.

Roxane, who was playing with the walkie-talkie, looked at Enzo with her clear eyes and said calmly:

– I am not afraid. Then, she turned to Sebastien and asked:

– Are you afraid ? If you are, we can change rooms.

He smiled weakly.

– I am not afraid.

The staff member gave them a brief summary of the plot before leading them into the room.

Sebastien walked in front while Roxane followed behind him. Jessica walked next to Roxane while Enzo stared at the entrance to the room, clearly reluctant to enter.
