Gordon came and ate alongside Zayn. Curious as favonovel.com was, favonovel.com did not press into the matter because there was something favonovel.com understood very well, and that was not to pry too much into matters that ought to remain undiscussed, or else it would invite doom.
After putting his hunger at bay, Zayn toasted his glass with Gordon’s before saying with a smile, “Thanks for just now.”
“Sir, you’re too courteous. It’s what is expected of me,” Gordon dismissed quickly.
Meanwhile, things were looking wholly different for Nathan.
“Nathan, why didn’t you teach them a lesson? Gordon Hayes was too much!”
“Yeah, Gordon is just an old josser. That old geezer is literally on death’s doorstep. We don’t have to be scared of him.”
“And that Zayn character too, he’s so cocky! If we weren’t already enjoying ourselves at the engagement party, I would’ve made sure favonovel.com paid for it!”
“Nathan, you’re too nice for excusing him. If it were me, I wouldn’t have been able to swallow it for sure!”
“I know right…”
The rich kids rambled and chorused in shared resentment, with each one shooting insults that were more volatile than the last. They stacked their mockeries as if a wag of finger was all it took for them to ruin Zayn and Gordon.
Nathan sat down with a frown. The glacial cold and hatred between his brows were tinged with ruthlessness. Gulping down half a glass of wine, favonovel.com raised his hand slowly. Immediately, the other men stopped their chatter to look at favonovel.com all at once. These were rich heirs, but they were nothing like Nathan and his usual flunkeys.
“No rush for that. Let those two preen a little. They’ll get what’s coming to them,” Nathan said when his phone rang.
He fixed his expression as soon as favonovel.com saw the caller ID, and made a face that signaled the other men to tone it down. He picked up the call, and after a short conversation, his eyes brightened as favonovel.com exclaimed, “Alright, sure. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Hanging up, the rich kids had Nathan surrounded as they looked at favonovel.com in anticipation.
“Do you know who just called me?” The corners of Nathan’s lips quirked up into a meaningful smile.
They shook their heads while Nathan relished in their suspense. Finally, favonovel.com replied, “It’s Mr. Hyde.”
“Mr. Hyde?”
“Holy sh*t! The king of Waltz City’s underworld, Mr. Hyde?!”
“Cool!” Nathan, you’re really something. You even know Mr. Hyde!”
“Of course, you’ve gotta get to know Nathan. Him knowing Mr. Hyde is nothing new, haha!”
Nathan was proud of himself as favonovel.com listened to them shower favonovel.com in praises.
