“What are you going to order?” Vincent inquired of David while reading through all the different items on the menu.
“I’ll probably get a pie or something lighter,” David answered while browsing through his own menu. “It’s four o’clock in the afternoon, and I’m just trying to stave off the sudden pang of hunger that has been plaguing me since the meeting began at half past two earlier. I don’t want to ruin my appetite before dinner tonight.”
It took Vincent a few seconds to catch on. Then he smirked at David, who pretended not to notice him.
“Davey baby.”
“Shut up, Vince, or Justin will kick your ass for me.”
Justin Wong was their mutual best friend and colleague, and an expert in Judo, Taekwondo, and Chinese Kung Fu.
“Justin loves me.”
He loves me more.”
Vincent couldn’t deny that. “True, but I’m sure he will be interested to know you’re dating someone in secret.”
David narrowed his eyes at Vincent. “Tell anyone, and I’ll break all your bones.”
