Chapter 173: Tan Family Tradition

Now that Sam figured out that Beatrice was the best person to ask about the gift, his heart calmed down. Relieved, he switched off the lamp and went to bed.

The next day, Sam was wondering when was the best time to ask Beatrice during class. He didn't want to appear too eager so it had to be slipped in somehow. It had to be done during class as Betty would most likely drop by the Student Council office later.

But how can he broach the subject?

Xing Han came over when he saw how agitated Sam appeared to be.

"What's up, Sam? You're not your usual 'work mode' right now," Xing Han asked, scrutinizing Sam's face close-up, his face inches away from Sam's.

Sam pushed Xing Han's face away from his, and replied, "Nothing's up."

Lowering his voice, he said, "I want to ask Beatrice what Betty likes, without letting on to Beatrice that I like Betty. How do I do that?"

"Why don't you want her to know?" Xing Han asked.

"It's awkward," Sam said.
