Abigail Brooke definitely had a bad intention when she invited Lola to this dinner. It turns out that August Leonard was actually someone who used to have a huge crush on Lola back in college.Back at home, Miles decided to have a conversation with his wife about this dinner.“My love, are you sure this is a good idea?” Miles looked at his wife with concern reflected in his eyes.Lola rubbed a soothing hand down her husband’s chiseled body before giving the man a lengthy kiss. “I don’t see anything wrong with catching up with old friends. I really think it might end up being quite fun. Plus, you and Abigail finally get to clear up any misunderstandings in the past. Look, the more I talk about this, the more I am positively convinced that this is going to go well.”Miles looked at his gorgeous wife for a while before giving in once again with a weak smile. “Alright, let’s do it your way.” He had been persuaded after seeing that Lola was actually thinking about him as well, and he loved
“Guys, I would love to introduce Mark Denim. He’s my boyfriend, the one who I told you about yesterday, Lola.” Abigail began to fawn over this man.Lola glanced at her husband before walking forward to shake hands with Mark. “Hello, Mark, I’m Lola Blaine, and this is my husband, Miles Creek. Pleased to make your acquaintance.”“Oh!” Mark was stunned when he saw Lola. He couldn’t believe such a young woman with such a sexy figure was actually married. “Miss Lola, you are truly as beautiful as my girlfriend mentioned.” He was quite unashamed as his eyes traveled from Lola’s face down to her body.The smile on Abigail Brooke’s face wavered slightly. “Alright, baby. Let’s all have our seats.”Lola noticed what had just happened. Mark Denim had blatantly disregarded Miles’s existence. She couldn’t understand why he did this though. Luckily, Miles had not initiated a handshake as she suspected that Mark would have ignored it, making her husband lose face.Meanwhile, the four settled down an
Mark Denim smiled flirtatiously at Miles. “Actually, there are so many other things about me that I think you’ll find quite impressive.”It was here that Lola picked up on Mark’s flirty tone. This man was actually trying to flirt with her despite the fact that not only was he aware that she was married, but her husband was also seated right at this table. Plus, Mark’s girlfriend was also right beside him.Mark didn’t take offense to Lola’s sudden silence. “Usually, I don’t really like to brag to people about me on a first meeting or a romantic date.” He looked directly at Lola when he said the words ‘romantic date’, hinting that he was considering that he and Lola were currently on a romantic date. He had absolutely ignored the fact that her spouse and his significant other were also at this same table. “But seeing how extremely gorgeous you are, I’ll let you in on something. I’m actually applying to Jettex Industrial Limited and I’ve been informed that there’s a high chance of me bei
While Abigail and Mark were kissing, they were both secretly staring at Lola for different reasons. Mark was flirting with Lola, letting her know that he wished she was the one he was kissing. As for Abigail, she was silently claiming that Mark was hers no matter how much he was flirting with Lola.Lola, on the other hand, was getting quite uncomfortable with what she was witnessing. She couldn’t bear it anymore and had to avert her gaze. She turned to Miles silently asking for help but Miles simply smiled at her, silently telling her to pull through the end of this awful and awkward dinner.Lola was grateful that her husband was here with her. It was then that she felt a surge of anger as she recalled what Abigail and Mark had said about Miles. She had been so excited when Abigail had offered to help her husband secure a job, and yet, she would have never thought that they only had the intention of securing a janitorial position for Miles. If it had been a year ago, Lola might have n
“I see the party has started way before me!”All four adults at the table turned their heads to find a man in formal wear walking towards them.Mark immediately perked up. “Mr. Leonard, you’re finally here.” He looked cheerful, not showing any signs that he had just been roasted. He shook hands with the man before guiding him to sit at the last vacant chair at this table. “You’re welcome, Mr. Leonard.” He suddenly thought of a way to get back at Miles for the insult. “Actually, I was just asking Mr. Miles here if he was really sure that he would pay for our meals. I’ve been trying to convince him that he shouldn’t pay for anything considering he’s a stay-at-home dad with no income whatsoever.” He smiled daringly at Miles.Lola was shocked when she heard this lie. She was about to come after Mark for this but Miles slowly and gently caressed her hands underneath the table while keeping a calm stare on Mark.“Oh really?!” August stared at Miles with disdain before scoffing and shifting
Mark whispered to his girlfriend. “Mr. Leonard pooped himself in his mid-twenties?”Abigail was starting to laugh as she couldn’t hold it in. She did, however, shut her mouth as soon as she found August glaring at her. Mark Denim saw this as well and immediately calmed himself down.August folded his hands into a fist as he turned to Lola. “Miss Lola, just because you and I have a history back in college doesn’t mean I’ll sit here and let you insult me. That story you just told was an absolute lie at a horrible attempt to humiliate me or just a testament to your distorted reality.”“Distorted reality?!” Lola felt offended by this. “Mr. August Leonard, you’re practically calling me insane.”August chuckled darkly. “Those are your words, not mine.” He looked unbothered. “Besides, if your perception of reality wasn’t so warped, why on earth would you choose to be with a man like Miles? I mean it is no offense to your husband’s hustle life, but we’re has that gotten you. That man you foun
August came up with a plan. “By the way, have I told you guys that I’m hosting a class reunion party for our college friends? Lola, I am extending a special honors invitation to you. As my past crush who I still think of very dearly, I would like for you to show up as one of my VIP guests.” He had said those unnecessary descriptive words about what Lola meant to him to make Miles jealous, and yet, he still got no evident reaction of jealousy from his target. “Of course, you can bring your husband as your plus one.”This was another clear insult to Miles. Usually, the plus-one spots are reserved for outsiders who show up as an honorary guest of the VIP guest. He openly denies Miles an invitation to the class reunion he was a part of, only allowing him to come as baggage, which August finds reflective of what Miles is to Lola. After all, the man still assumed that Miles was a stay-at-home dad with no single penny to his name. Funny enough, Mark got invited even though he wasn’t part of
Meanwhile, August nodded his head. “You know what? That’s fine, actually. I know one of the managers here. I can just talk to him and see what we can do about it.” As soon as Abigail and Mark heard this, a pleasant expression appeared on their faces and they expressed their gratitude to August.“Don’t even mention it.” August waved a dismissive hand before he made a call. “Hello, Manager Kim, are you currently at work? Yeah, I’m actually here with my friends. They are currently having an issue with the payment of the membership for this establishment. Are you currently free?” He kept quiet as he listened to the man on the other side. “Oh really? Yeah, it would be great if you can show up. Alright then, I’ll be expecting you quite soon.” He chuckled at something before ending the call.Abigail turned to Mark. “Damn! Mr. Leonard is really an influential man. Also, his wealth is not something to be looked down on at all. I’m really glad we’re on his good side. He's really gonna help us
