“And as for my invitation, it was sent by Director Gilbert Fernandez. Is that a problem?”
Arthur nodded lightly. “Ah, so you were treated by Mr. Fernandez. In that case, I suppose there’s nothing more to say. Since she’s with you, she can stay.”

Josephine remained silent

By now, Arthur had stripped off his shirt and pants without the slightest care for the onlookers. With a running leap, he dove straight into the pool
His massive frame but the water like a cannonball, creating a huge splash that soaked everyone nearby.
The girls, now dripping wet, didn’t seem nearly as embarrassed as before instead, they laughed and squealed, thrilled by Arthur’s sudden dive.
A few bold ones even clung to him, shamelessly taking advantage of the moment to touch him.
