Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 47: Do You Think That I Care About the Beers?

Meanwhile, in a bar in N city. Two people were sitting at the corner in the middle of a noisy environment. One person kept drinking beers and the other one just sat right there and smoke quietly. Another bottle of beer had been emptied. Geoffrey had also finished his cigarette. He put out the cigarette and took the glass away from the man beside him. "I know you don't need to pay for these but do you really need to drink as if they are plain water?"

The man turned around and looked at him. His handsome face flushed. He was tipsy but his eyes were still clear. "Come on, it's just a few bottles of beers."

Geoffrey's mouth twitched. "Do you think I care about the beers? Did you ask me to come here and watch you drink for no reason?"

The man beside him was Kenneth. He took off his suit, unveiling his white blouses. Buttons were opened at the collar. His long and slender fingers were holding the glass. There is a trace of loneliness on his expressionless face, adding a touch of decadency to his temperament.

He looked at Geoffrey for a second then turned away and stared at the crowd. Things got so complicated in the dark. He kept replaying the look and expression on Rachel's face this afternoon.

He felt regretful and confused whenever he thought about her. It was very unsettling.

Did he not making himself clear enough, or did she misunderstand him?

Geoffrey got frustrated when he saw Kenneth's spiritless face. He lit another cigarette then called for the waitress.

"How may I help you, sir?" The bartender asked politely.

Geoffrey whispered in his ears and asked the bartender to get his order done.

After a few minutes, the bartender came back with two young girls with hot body and pretty face.

"Sir, they are here."

Geoffrey asked the bartender to return to his work. "Alright, you can go now."

He then smiled at the girls, "Ladies, my friend isn't very happy today. Come and cheer him up please."

Kenneth was speechless.

"Alright, handsome. We will cheer him up." The girls look at the man and their lips curved into a seductive smile.

A mischief smile blossomed on Geoffrey's face. Holding a cigarette in his mouth, Geoffrey stood up and patted Kenneth's shoulder, "Cheer up, alright. If you'll excuse me, I need to go out for a minute." Then Geoffrey walked out of the room.

What he didn't expect was that the girls had gone when he returned to the room after making a phone call. There was only a sullen man left in the room.

He was startled. He looked at the broken glasses on the table, then asked Kenneth in fear, "D-Don't tell me you hit those women?"

Before he could finish his sentences, Kenneth glared at him with his dark eyes, "If you are bored, you can, might as well, fuck off."

Geoffrey rubbed his nose in embarrassment. He sat down and said, "I got those girls for you to cheer you up. Do you really have to put up a long face? Or do you prefer me to call your ex-wife here?" Geoffrey knew Rachel must have something to do with why Kenneth was so upset today. Furthermore, Kenneth found out that someone else was also interested in Rachel. It was no news if he acted this way. Kenneth didn't want to answer Geoffrey's question. He continued diving into his thoughts.

Geoffrey had never seen Kenneth like this before. He could decide on deals and contracts that cost billions in a blink of an eye but now he was so messed up because a woman rejected him? If he wasn't afraid of getting punched, Geoffrey wanted to laugh at him so badly.

Kenneth finally stopped drinking at around midnight. He rubbed his forehead and planned to leave the bar as he stood up.

When Geoffrey saw Kenneth staggered, he secretly mocked him, "Ah-ha! There I thought he wouldn't get drunk."

Even the best drinker wouldn't drink like how he drank. He was mixing up a few types of alcohol in his drink. He would have doubted the quality and honesty of this bar if Kenneth wasn't drunk at all. Kenneth's suit was casually placed on his shoulder. He frowned and looked at Geoffrey, then requested in a slurred manner, "Send me home."

Geoffrey was speechless.

Great, now he became his caretaker, and driver. Did he owe him anything in the past life or what?

Nevertheless, Geoffrey stood up and walked towards Kenneth, close enough to smell the scent of alcohol under his breath. He raised his fingers and asked Kenneth, "How many fingers are here?"

Kenneth stared at Geoffrey as if he was retarded, "Did all those women did this to your brain?"

"You're not drunk, I see. I was thinking to throw you into a crowd of women if you are unconscious. Then I can guarantee you won't be missing Rachel after tonight." Geoffrey dusted off his shirt trying to get rid of the smell of cigarette smoke. He laughed at Kenneth in an insulting manner.

Kenneth replied to him with a dangerous stare, "I will put you into the hospital for the rest of your life if you did that. I assure you that."

Under the influence of alcohol, Kenneth reacted more dangerous and colder than usual.

Geoffrey pursed his lips to express his indifference.

After all those drinks, he believed that even if Kenneth wasn't entirely drunk, he wasn't thinking straight either. He won't take his word so seriously.

The moment they walked out from the bar, a person who waited a very long time for them in front of the bar approached them.

"Ken," Sabrina was wearing a long wind coat. She dressed very differently from how she usually dressed. She let her hair down and put some light makeup on.

Kenneth frowned when he saw her, "Why are you here?"

Sabrina approached Kenneth and looked at his messy hair. "You said you would go home to have dinner with your mom, but we couldn't reach your mobile. Auntie got worried and asked me to come out and look for you. Luckily Geoffrey informed me that you're here."

Kenneth turned around and glared at Geoffrey.

Geoffrey smiled as if nothing was wrong. "Well, you shouldn't have turned off your mobile, to begin with. Since Auntie couldn't reach you, so Sabrina had to step in and asked for my help. You know I never like lying to people."

Sabrina quickly explained, "Ken, don't blame Geoffrey. I forced him to tell me. Auntie was so worried that I didn't know what to tell her."

Kenneth looked at Sabrina for a second and remained silent, not sure whether if it was because of the alcohol or because he didn't want to bother what they think at all. He pushed Geoffrey away and walked towards the car parked in front of the entrance.

Geoffrey eyed Sabrina and chuckled, "You women are so used to these techniques. I don't even need to teach you what to do."

Sabrina pursed her lips in embarrassment then smiled, "Geoffrey, thank you for your help. If I succeed tonight, I owe you one."

"Don't thank me." He waved off her gratitude and kept a polite smile on his face, "I wasn't trying to help you. Even if it wasn't you, I will still get another woman to do the job. You're just someone who happened to get the job. That's it." Geoffrey said in a cold and flat tone.

Sabrina's smile frozen and embarrassment flushed her face. In her heart, she was furious.

Just wait until she made herself Kenneth's significant half. She will definitely get her payback. Who Geoffrey thinks he is to talk to her like that?☐☐☐☐☐☐
