Capítulo 48: Winning Over Ronnie the Whiz Kid  

The two young ladies were clearly at their wit's end dealing with the plump whiz kid and reluctantly made their exit. Before leaving, they shot a glance at Scarlett, their eyes rolling as if to say, "Like she stands a chance handling him."

The whiz kid, Ronnie, was facing the wall, throwing darts with the air of a lone warrior. Scarlett stood not far away, watching him for a while. He was pretty decent at throwing darts; even if he didn't hit the bullseye, he usually scored around seven or eight points.

When he ran out of darts, Scarlett approached him and asked, "Mind if I join you for a round?"

Without turning his head, Ronnie replied, "People come and go. I don't need company, and you don't need to butter me up. Just go talk to my big bro."

Scarlett said, "I don't know anyone here, and I can't really join in with them."

Ronnie, puzzled, turned to look at her and asked, "Aren't you here with my bro?"

"I came with Mr. Zhou, Lucius Zhou," Scarlett clarified.
