Chapter 903: We Are In Love (part three)

"Ah! Whatever you want to think! If you don't want to handle the business, that's fine. If you do, great. You're making money. I really don't have time. If you really think it's not fair, you can deduct your wage from my share. Will that make up for it?" Kevin smiled, looking nonchalant. He knew Hoyle was only complaining and he would never take the money from Kevin's share. He was the one Kevin trusted. They had been friends for many years.

"Screw you! Do you really think that I'm working for you? You're an ass to talk about giving wages to me!" Hoyle said while kicking at Kevin. Kevin dodged, seemingly having predicted the kick. He knew that every time Hoyle lost his temper, he would kick him. Kevin already got used to this trick. How could he let Hoyle easily have his way?

"But you said that! You said that I use you as a slave. So I have no choice but to reward you with some money." Kevin continued to prod him. In an instant, they attracted a lot of attention from the other patrons. Kevin had been the focus of the women here in the bar. How could they not notice what was happening there?

"Okay, probably it's time to go. Since you're not drinking, you'd better go back to being a good soldier. And don't spoil my plans. I'm going to find a girl." Hoyle leaned back in the chair at the bar counter, wondering whether all the women had gone cross-eyed. Otherwise why would they pay attention to Kevin and show no interest in him?

"I don't think I'll be a threat to you. I'm married. I'm not cockblocking you, at least not intentionally. Which woman do you like? Walk over to her and tell her you like her. It's so easy. Don't be pretentious," Kevin said languidly. The fatigue was showed on his face. That was because he hadn't gotten a good night's sleep all week. And he had planned to enjoy himself after work today, but was asked by Louisa to accompany her to her party.

You're like a brilliant star shining here. Do you think any woman will notice me? I'm like a bulb that's already burned out." In fact, Hoyle was only joking. If he was asked to choose a woman from the bar to marry, he would prefer to stay single. He already got fed up with the women in heavy makeup and dressed in flashy clothes. If he really settled down with any woman here, he would seriously become impotent.

"Okay, then I won't shine here. I'm going back home. Come on, you little broken bulb, don't give up! You'll find your dream girl tonight!" Kevin glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was very late now. He'd really be dog-ass tired tomorrow if he didn't get some sleep.

"Okay, goodbye. Don't worry. Bar's in good hands. Remember to bring your wife here and officially introduce her to me next time." Hoyle patted Kevin's shoulder. Because he was older than Kevin, he had always regarded Kevin as his younger brother. Such brotherhood was established early when they were both in boot camp.

"Didn't you just say that she's been here before? You also mentioned that you will keep her tab open. How could you not know each other? Or were you kidding me just now because you wanted to rip me off?" Kevin frowned. He almost forgot about that. He wondered who came here with Leena last time. And she got drunk easily. 'Did she flirt with other men after she got drunk?' Kevin thought.

Crap. She came here with her friends. I didn't get even a chance to say hi. Moreover, she didn't know me. If I just walked up and introduced myself, what if she was frightened? Wouldn't you want to hit me because of it?" Hoyle narrowed his eyes and looked at Kevin with disdain, as if Kevin had really said some bullshit.

"Spit it out! You keep bringing this up again and again. Do you want me to ask you who she was with then?" Kevin knew him well, that was why he knew what was on his mind. They were a lot alike in some respects.

Do you really want to know? I - Nah, I won't tell you. You can figure it out on your own." 'Huh! What made you so cocky today? I believe this question will bug you and you won't sleep tonight. There's no way you couldn't be concerned when you hear that your beautiful wife came here to drink with other people,' Hoyle thought.

Fine, don't tell me. No matter what, I trust her. I know you like causing drama, but it won't work this time. I know who Leena is and that's not like her to sleep around," Kevin sneered. He trusted Leena's morals and loyalty. He knew she would never stab him in the back.

Oh ho! So you're really not worried at all? What if I tell you that the men accompanying her were all pretty good looking guys? You still okay with that?" It was true that Leena came here with two women that night. But later several men appeared together with them. They were all very charming, and even looked more handsome than Kevin.

If they are that good-looking, then I don't need to worry anymore. You can save your energy. I'm outta here. Good luck finding your lady love. Bye!" Kevin showed an understanding smile. He stood up and waved goodbye to Hoyle and walked out. He wasn't worried, because if he was right, the gorgeous guys were Edward and his buddies. There were few men in the city who were incredibly handsome, so Kevin couldn't think of anyone else that would qualify. Hoyle didn't usually rate guys as pretty or good looking, so it had to be them.

The night in the city was a little cold. Probably because winter was coming. And the temperature varied greatly between day and night. As soon as Kevin stepped out of the Blue Enchantress, a gust of chilly wind threatened to blow him over, and then roared away without pause. It disappeared in the blur of the city streets at night.
