She will stay to be with Greg

Greg leaned in closer, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Hey, Ayumi," he said, his eyes filled with questions. "Did you even read the script?"

Ayumi sighed heavily, her eyes darting around the room. "No," she admitted quietly, her voice shaking. "I just wanted to play with you, Greg. I didn't think it would be this ****."

Their conversation wasn't quiet enough for Liam to miss. He smirked, his eyes gleaming with mischief. He quickly realised that not only Ayumi was not as brazen as everyone thought, she was also attracted to Greg. After all, why else would she joined a play like that and not even looked though the details. He intended to use that to his advantage.

Liam had always been a cunning player, and he loved the thrill of the chase. And now, he had a plan in mind.

"Hey, Greg," Liam said, his voice deceptively friendly. "What do you think of my idea? Do you think Ayumi should strip naked so that we can all get used to it and get a better touches of our characters?" His tone was light-hearted, but there was a sparkle in his eyes that made Ayumi uneasy.

Greg shifted uncomfortably in his seat, his gaze flickering between Ayumi and Liam. "Well," he stammered, "I mean, if you think it'll help us, then maybe it's worth considering."

Ayumi felt her stomach churn.

Greg actually agreed to it? Ayumi couldn't believe it. She had always admired Greg's talent and kindness, but seeing him cave in to Liam's demands left her feeling betrayed. Her heart throbbed with disappointment, and she knew she had to make a decision.

"Alright," she said, her voice quivering. "I trust your judgement. Let's do it."
