Of course, now, Finn Lewis is more emboldened in saying those words. As he entered the Federal restaurant and looked around, he spotted Kay Lee. There are certain women, who can effortlessly turn heads no matter where they sit, and Kay Lee is without a doubt, that kind of woman.
However, what surprised Finn slightly was that Kay Lee was sitting alone, just wearing sunsses, enjoying the tranquillity of the high-end Federal restaurant. Nobody here would gawk at her, as the patrons all have their own dignity and wouldn’t stoop to such behavior. Naturally, this wouldn’t stop the inevitable flood of pick-up attempts. Even in a simple casual T-shirt and jeans Kay Lee looked as radiant as ever!
The Prince and hispanion were sitting not far from Kay Lee. Finn went directly to them and sat down. Seeing Finning, the Prince finally exhaled in relief: “Thank God you’re here. Otherwise, we were prepared to wait for that jerk to show up and deliberately cause a ruckus.”
“How did you know about her arrangements today?” Finn asked curiously.
“Damn, weren’t you the one who gave us the intel?” The Prince rolled his eyes. Finn paused and seemed to remember asking his informant Zero to provide all of Kay Lee’s schedule for theing month, even including any changes to it on-the-fly. It turns out, Zero wasn’t as useless after all!
“Okay, I have been busy recently, made a trip out of the country. I’m pretty exhausted, what’s the current situation?” Finn hurriedly inquired.
“The guy who’s supposed to meet her for a blind date has yet to show up. Apparently, someone from her circle set it up. Unsure about the specific details. His family is quite reputable within Cleston City, he’s 28 years old, very sessful, and has billions to his name. Although his private life isn’t so hot, it seems like he already had an eye on Kay Lee,” the Prince replied swiftly.
“You know all these already?”
“Duh! What can’t you find on the inte these days?” The Prince rolled his eyes.
Finn raised his eyebrows, nced at Kay Lee who was checking the time, thought for a while and said, “Let’s go, approach her.”
“Damn, don’t be reckless, Mr. Finn. Have you thought this through?” The Prince was startled, he hadn’t expected Finn to be so bold and this was certainly not their original n.
“Just watch, I’ll take you to new heights.” Finn decisively got up and said, “youe with me.” Finn then added to the Prince.
The Prince seemed a bit lost but still got up and followed Finn. Finn felt a bit nervous inside but quickly brushed it away, murmuring to himself, ‘I’ve encountered more than a hundred deaths and sold hundreds of tons of heroin in the past, should I really be worried over a girl?’
Finn’s mind had barely returned to reality when he found himself beside Kay Lee. Kay wasn’t thrilled about another pick-up attempt. Before she had a chance to say anything, Finn promptly started, “Hello, ma’am, haven’t we met before? Would you mind if we join you?”
The Prince almost choked on his own saliva. He couldn’t help but exim internally, ‘Did you start with such a cheesy pick-up line after being so confident? Wasn’t you who proudly said you’d ‘take me towards greatness’?’
Just a momentter, the earlier frown on Kay Lee had turned into a smile and she politely refused. “No, thank you, I am expecting someone.” Any woman, let alone Kay Lee, would probably reject a stranger’s request to sit unless she had ulterior motives.
“Is heing right away?” Finn nced out the window and asked.
“No, but he might arrive at any moment,” Kay Lee raising her eyebrow slightly after inspecting Finn and felt like she’d seen him before.
“Perhaps he will, any moment. But you know, sometimes even a single second can be the difference between life and death. A mayfly only lives for roughly 24 hours after it bes an adult,” said Finn with a smile, “So what are you doing now?”
“I’m waiting for him,” Kay Lee nced at Finn.
“Oh, do you mind if I wait here with you?” Finn again asked, pointing at the Prince standing nearby, “So that this jerk won’t trouble you?”
The Prince’s face froze instantly. Right now, he couldn’t feel any worse. If Kay Lee wasn’t there, he would have punched Finn. When did I be a jerk? I came here to help you, Finn! Did you really have to burn your bridges like this?
Kay Lee: “… She looked over at the Prince standing nearby. After thinking about it, seemed to be touched by Finn’s words and agreed, “Okay.” Then she added, “Also, you’re already sitting.”
The Prince almost fainted. Did she just agree so simply? It appeared to him that this guy was essentially a jerk who aimed to protect her from other hassling jerks, this concept seemed so… ridiculous?
“Ah, good, my friend, your task ispleted. Thanks buddy, I owe you a meal.” Turning around, Finn gave the Prince a grateful wink.
The Prince was inplete disarray. ‘Did you really have to be this heartless, Finn?’ He knew he was just cannon fodder in Finn’s y. Still, his rage-filled tears were real. ‘It’s hard to find a good friend, and yet, I ended up with this jerk.’ The Prince decided it was best to pull out of the scene.
“Your friend?” Kay Lee asked, her mind filled with questions.
“Yep, a friend from my dorm,” Finn answered honestly, feeling a wave of relief. Seemed like Kay Lee wasn’t as unreachable as he thought.
Hearing Finn admit without hesitation, Kay Lee was somewhat speechless. Having already allowed him to sit down, she wouldn’t kick him off now, she could only retort, “Don’t you think badmouthing your friend is appalling?”
“Is telling the truth good or bad?” Finn returned, his eyes locked on to her wless face.
“Of course, it’s good,” said Kay Lee, puzzled at Finn’s sudden change of topic.
“That’s right, I was just telling the truth earlier. So, it should be good, so why did you say it was wrong? If I had agreed with you, wouldn’t that mean I would be lying to you? You women always im that men never tell the truth. But sometimes, it’s not that we don’t want to speak the truth, it’s just that truths are often not pleasing to hear.” Finn shrugged.
Kay Lee: ‘
