10 Selling myself?

With his right hand holding a glass of dark red liquor, Nikolai lifted it a little, as if showing an invisible cheer to Ace then said, "It's been a long time, but your tongue skills are still the same.". He ended it with an evil smirk.

Ace reaches toward the pillow on his sofa and threw it toward Nikolai's face.

The both looked at each other then let out a hearty chuckle. The melody was deep and magnetic just like a symphony.

After the both calm down, Ace asked, " So what have you done after reaching here? Will I need to secure my apartment in case of a lady showing up and wailing about you?"

Nikolai scoffed and replied, " I'm not that bad okay? I just took a shower and watched the game with some whiskey before you came. Want some?"

Ace looked at Nikolai and narrow his eyes to confirm the first part was true before continuing, " No, let's go and watch the game, after that we can discuss some work, and by that time the nerd should be here, we can all go grab some food."

The three friends on this pact are often extremely busy, and so their diet revolve with one meal per day. Sometimes a light breakfast and nice dinner at most.

Nikolai nodded his head and the pair made their way to the theater room.

While watching the game, the pair would enthusiastically discuss the game like normal sport's fanatics. In between commercials and such they would joke about each other and their own life and shared nostalgia.

They had a great time together, then reaching 12 AM, "beeeep" the sound went on for 10 seconds before the front door open.

A man in an Olympic blue Giorgio Armani limited edition dress shirt walked in. He paired it with a pair of light gray slacks from the same line as the Armani dress shirt.

He walked into the apartment unhurriedly with his suitcase. Almost as if this was his home.

Hearing noises from the office, the man left his suitcase in the living room before running up to surprise the two other pair.

Reaching the office door, he opened it hastily and screamed "Surprise!" , which was returned with two pair of stern eyes focusing against him.

Feeling uncomfortable and wronged, the man scratches the back of his head awkwardly and smile to lighten up to mood.

Then in the next second, "pfft hahaha how have you been nerd? Did we scared you now?" Nikolai questioned.

Feeling embarrassed that he was tricked and annoyed with the nickname, the man spat, " You both will be dead the moment you laid a hand on me, why should I be scared?".

Ace continue to lough for 10 seconds before replying, " Sorry we forgot THE Alaric Li don't have the strength against us so he have to use chemical and poison."

Nikolai chuckled before adding, " Okay, that's good enough of a greeting. Let's grab some food, we've been waiting for the Young Master Li the whole day.".

The other two looked at each other before nodding. Then the trio drove to find a restaurant.

Arriving at a small Korean restaurant, they all headed in. They waved and exchange greetings with the owner as if they were acquaintance before finding a table.

While waiting for the food to come out, Alaric Li slipped out a sterilization napkin to wipe all the utensils.

Seeing his gesture, Nikolai could not help but say to Ace, " Remember when he first came here?"

Ace smirked and replied, " How could I not? He was such a rich neat freak, if I didn't offered to eat first he probably would have just watched us eat then went home."

Alaric couldn't help but feel embarrassed so he spoke, " Can you guys stop talking about the same thing? We've came here for over ten years, and every time you always remember the same old bullsh*t.".

"Also how the hell am I supposed to know you guys have found this restaurant before and the food was even better then a Michelin restaurant?"

At that time, the waiter came in to place down their food which made the table quiet down.

Right after the waiter was gone, the trio all competed with their chopsticks for the food place on the center.

The three actually had great table manners due to their training in business meeting, high class gathering and such; however, when it's with each other, they were just like three rowdy high school teenagers.

Their logic when it came to eating with each other was, if you win the piece of food of another's chopstick, victory is as great as winning an extra million yuan.

After gulping down the piece of meat that he won, Alaric then asked " So what are we doing tomorrow? It's been so long since we all came to relaxed in London that I forgot what to do."

Ace answered, " We can do what ever you both want in the morning. But tomorrow night, we are attending a dinner gathering. There will be girls there for you both so do not whine."

Hearing Ace saying the word "Girls" in a sentence was extremely hard, and the fact that he was answering happily about it made the boys curiosity went off.

Staring at Ace with Nikolai's eagle eyes, he asked, "Ace is there something wrong with you? I know that you love money but Coup's Corp. is already very great. You don't need to sell yourself for some princess okay?".

Alaric butted in, "What are you talking about? If he marry a princess, eventually he might even become a king. With that influence, my god, he can help me implant so many hospitals in his country."

Due to Ace wealth and brilliant looks, many princesses from wealthy countries have tried to marry him. One was even so in love with him, that she made a large business empire in order to have a collaboration with Coup's Conglomerate in hope of seeing and winning him. However, she was only able to meet with the CEO after all that.

Twitching his brows in annoyance, Ace clarified, " I'm not selling myself for a princess. There are three girls next door to my apartment, I don't know why but I am drawn and curious toward one of them. I think she likes me too, so we set a date to have dinner tomorrow.".

Hearing that the other two could not be more happy. Sometimes they were worried that Ace was secretly gay and is in love with them that's why he never dated.
