" Please proceed."

Round 4B ( Time left 59 : 28 )

Ella smirks.
Shane furrows his brows as he turns to Ella coming.

Ella stops in front of him.
" I."

Ella's eyes meet his.
" ..have a surefire way to win this. Didn't you say that a while ago ?"

Ella turns to Anna.
" Ah, what happened to your so-called, trust ?"

" Shut up." answered Shane unable to let her insult the girl over there.
" Oh hoh, are you hurt ?"

Ella shows a serious face.
" Unfortunately, you can't do anything about it. Because.. I."

" ..am going to win the game."
Ella smiles creepily.

" Let me repeat what you said."
Ella passes Shane.

Ella looks at Shane facing another direction.
" We will vote a different choice from each other."

Unaware that the direction Shane is facing is Anna.
Anna lowers her head.

' What am I going to do ?' thought Anna.
Quinn exaggerates her laugh.

Round 4B
END

" Well then, here are the results." said Yuri pulling attention from them.

| . . YES . . | . . NO . . |
=================
| E . . . . . . S Q . . . . . |

Ella smirks.
Quinn continues to laugh.

Ella walks away.
Anna looks at Shane.

Shane looks at Anna.
Anna forces a smile. ( PHOTO )

" I'm fine."

Shane can't differentiate if it's a lie or not. But.. there's no way the foolishly honest girl would start to learn to lie, right ?

Shane walks to Anna.
" Don't worry. There's a flaw."

Anna widens her eyes.
" ..a flaw ? Does such a thing even exist ?"

Shane smirks.
" Believe in me."

Anna smiles.
She hasn't seen that smirk for so long.

" Then I'm relieved." replied Anna.
Anna suddenly reacts.

" What flaw ?"
Ella just chuckles at the corner enjoying her coffee to keep her awake.

But maybe she doesn't even need the coffee, the idiot's idiocy is already so fun to watch.
Quinn shakes her head.

" How much did Quinn receive from Ella ?"

" Hmm ?"

Shane stares at her.
" Oh." said Anna implying her understanding.

" 100 million." answered Anna.
" And what does Quinn like the most ?"

Anna lowers her head and thinks hard.
Anna raises her head, " oh !"

" Money !" replied Anna.
Quinn gives a death gaze.

Anna smiles.
" ..but how can that be a flaw ?"

" What if we give her a bigger amount of money ?"

" A bigger.. amount.. That's impossible." argued Anna, " we don't have that much money.."

" The prize is 500 million."

Anna stares at Shane.
" Oh."

Anna turns away then turns to Shane again.
" Wait, what ?!"

Shane smirks.
" How's that ? Bigger than 100 million, right ?"
