Benjamin bumped into Dave when he went out.
“Mr. Dave.”
Dave nodded, and Benjamin continued walking without saying anything else.
Seeing that they had left, Dave looked at Kenneth. “What happened?”
“It's nothing. I just heard something,” Kenneth said.
“Is it about Anonymous?” Dave guessed.
Kenneth glanced at Dave and couldn't hold back anymore. “No one knows me better than you do!”
Dave walked in and found a place to sit. He crossed his legs and sat lazily. “So? Did you manage to get any answers?”
Kenneth shook his head.
“No?” Dave found it strange.
Kenneth thought for a moment before saying, “Not only that, he got angry with me!”
Dave narrowed his eyes. “Why would he act that way? You're his daddy. There's no way he wouldn't stand with you.”
Kenneth took a deep breath. “I don't know what they've experienced before, but I'm sure what happened between us. Perhaps he hasn't forgiven me.”
Kenneth was very open-minded about that matter. Although he wasn't happy that Anthony kept siding with Anonymous, he wouldn't say anything.
After all, it was his fault that things turned out this way. What right did he have to complain?
At that thought, Kenneth gave a chuckle.
“Then what do you plan to do?” Dave asked.
“What do I plan to do? I didn't even plan to use him in the first place. I was just asking.”
Dave laughed. “Are you jealous?”
“We can only win a battle if we know ourselves as well as our enemy.”
Dave leaned against the couch with his legs crossed. He stared at Kenneth and teased, “This is interesting. Just interesting! The arrogant J gets jealous and worried too!”
Kenneth didn't deny that statement. After pouring half a glass of wine and drinking it, he turned to look at Dave calmly. “That's right. When the woman you love is too excellent, you'll definitely be anxious. A single dude like you won't understand.”
Dave took a deep breath and glared at Kenneth. “You don't feel good if you don't show off your love, do you?”
“Were you envious after listening to our conversation the other day?” Kenneth asked.
Dave was speechless.
He's so unpredictable. As usual, no one knows what he's going to say next.
Dave looked at him. “Indeed, she's beautiful and elegant. But how do you define excellence?”
“Hmm... I won't let you know first, lest it shock you to death.”
Dave chuckled. “Shock me to death? I'm still alive even after you suddenly told me you have three kids. I wonder if there's anything else that could shock me to death.”
“What do you think? According to how well I know you, what else could shock you to death?”
Dave narrowed his eyes, looking curious.
However, Kenneth didn't say anything else. Instead, he turned and poured another glass of wine before he walked over and passed the glass to Dave.
Dave looked at the wineglass and took it and stopped talking about that.
“So, what do you plan to do next?”
“Anthony sent a message that Nat said Boss might attack me anytime.”
“And?”
“I'll just counter his every move.”
