He groaned in dire frustration, walking out on Cole.He sauntered to the mini bar and pulled out himself one of the barstool."What if she isn't interested in my proposal?

He asked, pulling out the half filled bottle of Hendricks and a shot glass.Cole came to him and pulled out the second barstool next to his.He took out his shot glass and poured himself some Hendricks too."You're being very pessimistic and I don't like it."

It's nothing difficult." Cole assured him,
