With time, the rest of the group woke up as well. And after hearing about me reaching the automated stage already, they all went bonkers.
Jaq complained about unfairness and that I was cheating, while Katie was surprised to say the least, looking at me with a hawk's eye.
I could feel her judgemental gaze without even looking at her, and thus, I chose to ignore her.
But unlike the two, Claire was simply looking at me with a tiny smirk.
Of course, she knew about my stats and had already guessed that I would do well.
That was one of the reasons she even offered it to me, but I wonder if she had guessed I was already at the controlled tier.
Her friends were quite vocal about the fairness and stuff, but after spending another half an hour at the apartment, they expressed their desire to leave.
Some had work, and some left out of politeness.
They had tried their hardest to grill me about the secret, but I just smiled and said it was all Claire. Ask her.
