Summary of Episode Nine:
Who Will Win? The Girl.
As Alex approached the West Sports Field, he noticed five or
six attractive girls coming his way. The tallest of the group, Zara Fitzgerald,
greeted him, questioning his delayed arrival. She handed him $10, requesting
six bottles of water for the squad. Despite Alex's offer to have bought the
water on his way over, Zara insisted he fetch it now, which he did, returning
with $4 in change. The cheerleaders each took a bottle, and Zara demanded Alex
fan her, a task he performed without complaint. They were watching the school
basketball team practice, and after half an hour, Zara rallied the cheerleaders
to continue their training.
Alex, sitting alone in the grandstand amidst the girls'
belongings, was approached by a friendly girl with long hair and an oval face
named Rachel O'Connor. Before Alex could engage in a deeper conversation with
her, a tall boy in a Lakers jersey, Dean Marshall, interrupted. Dean mocked
Alex, calling him the cheerleading squad's "babysitter" and boasting
about his own accomplishments and wealth. Rachel politely declined Dean's
invitation to walk around the field, preferring to stay with Alex, which
infuriated Dean, although he had to leave when called back to the basketball
court.
Rachel and Alex continued their conversation, interrupted
only by Zara, who expressed surprise at Rachel talking to Alex. Zara demeaned
Alex, saying he was hired only to carry equipment and describing him as a
"poor slob." Despite Zara's harsh words, Rachel defended Alex,
stating she found him nice, which further annoyed Zara.
Their conversation was cut short when Zara received a phone
call from her cousin Cindy, who was worried about not being married yet. Zara
reassured her cousin, expressing sympathy for her situation. After the call,
Zara shared Cindy's marital concerns with Rachel, and again, Zara insulted
Alex, emphasizing that Cindy couldn't marry someone like him.
Summary of Episode Ten:
Who Helped Rose?
Following the cheerleading practice, Zara and her team left
with the basketball squad, leaving Alex to clean up the equipment. Rachel
wanted to help Alex but was pulled away by Zara, who continued to demean Alex,
calling him only useful for packing up.
While Alex was tidying up, he received a call from Mark,
informing him that "the matter" had been settled. Alex was surprised
by how quickly his family resolved the issue. Later, Joe called Alex, excited
that Rose's problem was sorted, and invited him to a celebratory dinner.
Despite initial reluctance, Alex joined his friends at the restaurant.
Upon arriving, Rose's friends and some unfamiliar faces were
at the table. Rose displayed disdain toward Alex but allowed him to stay, as
she was in a good mood. Alex, seated by Joe, avoided further embarrassment by
not engaging with Rose.
One of Rose's friends, curious about her hostility towards
Alex, asked for an explanation. Rose derisively recounted an incident where
Alex couldn't withdraw money from Metro Sky Bank due to not having a card,
which caused some laughter among the friends, except those who knew the full
story and felt awkward about Rose's harshness.
The dinner conversation shifted to Rose boasting about her
father's business acumen. She shared how the chairman of the Heavenly Lion
Group, Donald Brennan, personally apologized to her father, showcasing her
family's influence. Her friends were impressed and curious about who helped her
father resolve the issue with such a powerful entity.
Rose, wanting to know who exactly assisted her father,
called him. As the phone call progressed, she was puzzled, recalling her
father's earlier frustration and harsh words, wondering if he had forgotten
someone important initially but later sought their help. An idea started
forming in Rose's mind as she awaited her father's response.
In these episodes, the dynamics between Alex, Zara, Rachel,
and the others are highlighted, showcasing themes of social status, kindness,
and misunderstanding. The evolving relationships hint at deeper conflicts and
resolutions that will unfold in the subsequent episodes.
