Chapter 21

“The scent of food in the restaurant smells delicious.”

Hugo snickered. “That’s cause we’re both famished and quite desperate for food.”

“True.”

After that, the two of them chatted about their work and hobbies. Not that Javier had plenty of the latter. However, Hugo seemed to be even more of a loner than he was.

“Why did you sound so astonished?”

Javier shrugged. “You’re a successful, wealthy businessman. I kind of expected for you to attend endless parties and social gatherings.”

Hugo grinned. “Nah, I’m not really interested in those things. I prefer to read a book or watch a documentary on TV. I’m highly protective of my spare moments because I have a ton of business engagements to deal with for the majority of the hours in a week. That’s one of the reasons why I enjoy staying at home whenever I can.”

“Aren’t you worried that you’ll be forced to interact with me once we start living together?”

Hugo shook his head. “Not at all. In fact, I’m looking forward to it.”
