"Denis!" Bianca hugged Denis tightly after seeing him reappear at 24Night tonight, a presence that her friends hadn't noticed before. Denis had been absent from Matthew's club for two weeks and showed up again with a fresher aura. "Ah! I miss you so much, why don't you ever come here? Are there so many women out there for you that you forget about everyone here?" Bianca seemed to have forgotten her annoyance at the last situation when Denis just left during their almost make out the other day on the second floor of 24Night some time ago.Denis smiled. "No, I had a little problem, but it's solved now. How are you?""Of course, I've missed you a lot." Without further ado, Bianca stood on tiptoe and kissed Denis' cheek, then put her arms around his waist. "Let's meet your friends, and they'll be equally surprised.""Sure." From the main door of 24Night, they walked hand in hand to the sofa where Denis' friends usually gathered.Jamie and Jose were busy telling stories while exhaling smok
"Good morning," greeted Denis as he descended the stairs.Jose, standing by the dining table holding a plate, suddenly dropped it, shattering it on the floor, but his expression was as if he wasn't surprised by his actions. He continued to stare at Denis and said, "Good morning? Morning? Ah, I've lost my mind. Try repeating that one more time.""Good morning." Denis followed his best friend's instructions, and he was already standing before Jose, his smile perfect."Oh, my God! I'm creeped out now. Why are you doing this to me, Boss?" Jose stepped back, and he showed his fear to Denis."What did I do? Hurry up and clean up the trash." Denis pulled a chair behind the dining table before sitting on it. The aroma of the toast on the dining table's surface was delicious. Denis very rarely grumbled or protested about whatever food Jose made for him. Just having someone willing to make food was more than enough for Denis."Wait a minute. This doesn't seem real." Jose, still wearing his apro
"Thank you very much, Auntie. Make sure you add some soy sauce to your cooking later," Marra ordered the old lady after buying the girl's fish, letting her go with a friendly wave.Tring!"Ah, damn. Why does Denis keep disturbing my quiet morning," Marra muttered as she pulled out her cell phone from the pocket of her brown apron, finding a chat reply from Denis' number. "See, that guy is fifteen times more annoying than I thought."(You're so excited, watch me come.)"Hey! No one is expecting you!" Marra's lips made a sound. She did not reply and chose to turn off the activation of her cell phone rather than add to her illness if she continued to raise her blood in response to Denis.Not long after North appeared from a different direction, the man approached Marra's booth, two cold water bottles in each hand. Marra didn't seem to notice North's presence, and the girl sat dreamily thinking about nothing until North deliberately kept quiet, looking at her–hoping Marra would wake up wi
"Thank you very much, North." Marra handed him his helmet, and he had just gotten up after sitting for a long time on the Vespa driven by North. They were returning from work this afternoon."Of course.""I'm going in now.""Eum, wait a minute, Marra." North interrupted her, leaving the girl frozen in question."Yeah, can I help you?"North's right forefinger moved to scratch her temple, and she seemed to think before asking, "That guy keeps coming up to you. Is it bothering you?"Marra was silent momentarily when she understood that the man North was referring to was Denis. Marra understood. She nodded–like she wasn't sure of her answer. "Yes, I think so. There are times when that man is very annoying. He shows up immediately, and I can never figure out his thoughts.""Were you guys close before?"Marra shook her head. "Not at all.""May I infer something?""Oh yes, what is it?""I think that man is chasing you, Marra."The girl paused, staring intensely into North's hazel-eyed orbs
"Where is he?" Selena saw men sitting in a row on a long sofa, but she was missing someone. There was Jose, Jamie, then Moran–Jamie's brothers, while Matthew was probably in his study. Since the three men had appeared on 24Night, they hadn't seen Matthew.Jose blinked. He looked at Jamie. "Who is he asking?""Your shadow, maybe." They shrugged their shoulders when they turned to Selena. The woman had a flat face. She folded her arms across her chest and stood at the end of the sofa. Moran didn't seem to care about Selena's presence–even though they didn't know each other."Hey, I know you guys understand, especially you, Jose. Where's your boss?""My boss?" Jose thought. "Ah yes, that guy left the house around eight o'clock.""Denis?""I haven't changed bosses yet." Jose gulped down the contents of his glass of sloke."I mean, where did he go?""I don't know, and it's best if you contact him yourself. I don't want to intrude on my boss's business outside working hours."Jamie elbowed
Jose almost shouted and jumped onto the sofa after seeing the different situation at Racher Art this morning. Before pointing the key to open the main door, he had already whistled happily and greeted many people on the street, after which he got a surprise inside this place.Jose's eyeballs dilated a few seconds earlier, now narrowed suspiciously. He slowly approached the figure with a familiar posture, already sitting behind the dining table alone. Denis' hair was still wet, and he must have just taken a shower."My fingers aren't penetrating. It's impossible." Jose muttered after touching Denis' muscular arm with his forefinger, and while the owner of the house was indifferent, Denis continued to enjoy his bowl of oats without hesitation.His doubts were still not gone, Jose tried another method, and his current action was quite extreme as it caused Denis to groan in pain.Jose fearlessly pulled his boss's hair.That's as close as it gets."You've lost your mind!" Denis snapped. "Y
(Did you go to work?)(Are you busy?)(Hey, you didn't reply at all. Should I call you?)(You reply, or I come now.)Marra clucked, looking at the phone screen, and she put on a lazy expression for that. "Doesn't he keep bullying me into following his orders? Why is that guy so good at finding loopholes.""What are you complaining about today?" asked North, suddenly appearing before Marra. The girl quickly put away the phone and smiled."Nothing big.""Really?" North seemed to doubt it. He looked at Marra's apron pocket–where her cell phone was kept. "I've noticed lately that you've been complaining a lot and talking to yourself on your cell phone when you're not on a call or video call with someone."This place was open, and everyone knew each other's activities, so Marra wouldn't be surprised if North inferred such a situation.There was no denying that ever since Denis started texting regularly and even calling occasionally if Marra didn't reply promptly, Marra often grumbled to th
Marra was acting like a tornado. If Denis concluded that the girl was being casual when they spoke over the phone, then the situation behind the scenes was completely unexpected.She darted like a rabbit trying to find a hiding place because a big bear was chasing her.The girl first contacted Uncle Sue. Marra said that tomorrow she would come earlier than the girl's average time to the market, Marra reasoned that a friend of hers ordered quite a lot of fish and needed to be delivered, so she had to leave early so as not to interfere with her activities when selling at regular hours.Luckily Uncle Sue agreed to Marra's request. The girl could breathe a sigh of relief, she just needed to set the alarm, and tomorrow would drop Lauren off at North's house early."Denis's behavior is driving me crazy!" Marra couldn't shout. She couldn't make Lauren wake up because of her daughter's ridiculous behavior. So, it was best for the girl to rest in preparation for tomorrow.***"Why did you go t
