An air stewardess arrived. "Good evening, sir. How may I assist you?""I accidentally got bitten," Sean replied. "Could you help me disinfect it and bandage it?""Of course. One moment, please."Once she left, Patrick's face almost turned green. "Were you messing with me, Sean?!"His voice was shaking from restraint, and every word was growled through clenched teeth.Sean simply flashed an outrageous smile at him—Patrick never saw him smile like that and started to shake with rage and murderous impulse. However, he had to bear with it since he was on a plane and turned his head aside, not wanting to look at Sean twice.Soon, the air stewardess had cleaned and bandaged Sean's palm, and neither man spoke along the rest of the journey. Nonetheless, Sean kept following Patrick after they disembarked, leaving Patrick almost hysterical. He certainly did not want to see Sean for another second after what happened on the plane. "Why are you following me?" "Cordy told me to keep you

Patrick gritted his teeth and told himself not to get petty with Sean.Either way, he could make Sean leave tomorrow.With that, he started chomping down on the skewers and drank.-As the night stretched over the skies, the lights of the city lit up.Sean must have drunk a lot.Still, he was usually rational enough not to get drunk, and he stopped when he was about to reach his limit.He went outside to the balcony, standing where Patrick stood for a breather.Sean had never been to Rocktown, only ever coming on business trips and certainly not to gaze upon its sights properly like this.Somehow, he found it rather beautiful and enjoyed the touch of the breeze against his face as he took in the scenery. There was no telling how long had passed, and he felt a little cold as his drunkenness subsided.He turned to look through the sliding door that Patrick had already drunk himself silly and was sprawled over the table.He knew the man would get drunk tonight anyway but did

"You were drunk last night."Sean stretched his back, putting a pillow against the headboard to cushion himself as he sat up, sighing emotionally. "Urgh, I'm really sore all over.""Shut up!" Patrick bellowed at him.Sean was left confused as to how he upset Patrick.It took him great effort just to bathe the man last night, so that he could sleep comfortably… only to throw a fit at him first thing in the morning?!Did he even remember how terrible he was, flailing around like a child while Sean bathed him?! Not only did Sean have to coax him just like with a child, he even scratched Sean as he resisted."You're still drunk, aren't you?" Sean asked, studying him just then."Yes, yes, yes, I'm still drunk!" Patrick admitted to it right away. "That's why I had no idea what I did last night at all! So I refuse to take responsibility!"Sean was left staring at Patrick again. 'Refuse to take responsibility?'Still, Sean understood in an instant.So Patrick was presuming what h

Cordy felt disappointment inside even though she could hear that Patrick sounded fine.Their relationship was neither deep or shallow, but it was over regardless.-In the afternoon, when Robin Tate—one of Cordy's executives—arrived for a routine update, he instead said, "I'm afraid I have bad news, Ms. Sachs.""What?""The lease of our flagship outlet in KPW Shopping Center that was due for renewal in October has been repealed, and a new lease tender is due immediately. We approached the manager yesterday, but they told us that someone bought the entire shopping center and is reevaluating the lease of every outlet starting next month."Cordy's eyes narrowed.Everyone was doing fine at their respective outlets at KPW Shopping Center. Why the sudden chaos and reevaluation of leases?!Not even a change in owners should lead to such a major reshuffle—forget the enormous workload that involved, it would also cause serious discontent among the businesses involved.Was the new owner

Robin quickly nodded. He certainly had to agree that SYX was a little depraved since they were too rich.Nonetheless, he asked, "Are we going to keep waiting for their CEO?"Cordy glanced at her watch, wondering if the man was really that hardworking.She really doubted he would work overnight and therefore said resolutely, "Yeah." Robin had no choice but to stick with his boss.-Soon, it was 11 PM.On the top floor, Randy reported, "Ms. Sachs is still waiting, Mr. Levine."John smiled—she really was as tenacious as ever."Should we keep her waiting?" Randy asked. "The air-conditioning downstairs is in full force, and it's getting cold at this hour…"John looked up at him, and he quickly said, "I'll ask someone to set it warmer."However, John suddenly said, "Show her upstairs.""Really?""Take her to the waiting room."What a difficult boss. "And make sure the room temperature is just right. Bring her fruit, snacks, warm milk—""Yes, Mr. Levine." Randy promptly left
