The siblings were displeased upon hearing Bruce's words. How could they not care? With their brother accompanied by such a woman, unknown to them, how could they possibly relax? Sylvia sensed that her initial reaction wasn't fake; there was definitely something off about this woman.
"We don't have anything else going on, so why don't I accompany you?"
Sylvia suggested, casting a cautious glance at the woman. The woman wore a soft smile, especially gentle when facing Sylvia. Bruce didn't like this overly friendly demeanor. He firmly tapped the woman's head.
"I'll say it again, don't look at my sister like that. If you keep giving her that look, I won't bother with you today. Don't come looking for me in the future."
"Why are you so petty? I just glanced at your sister, I didn't do anything. Friends shouldn't bully each other's siblings. Trust me, I understand. And I know you're protective of your sister, but if I had ill intentions, I wouldn't wait till now, right? You're just too tense. I've already told you, I won't do anything to the people around you. Since you're not busy, let your sister accompany me."
After being reprimanded, the woman became discontented and started arguing with Bruce. Their sudden change in demeanor puzzled Sylvia and Balk. So, were they on good or bad terms?
"Bro, if she's your girlfriend, can't you discuss things calmly? Why argue? And why does this involve my sister? Oh, by the way, I saw Miles here earlier. If you're busy, I can go find him now."
Balk glanced at the woman and then at Bruce. He had watched many videos of Bruce in the entertainment industry and had a bold guess, but couldn't confirm its truth.
"Hey, I just think your sister is pretty, so I wanted to pursue her."
After saying this, both Sylvia and Balk were stunned. Bruce remained silent with a grim expression, which already hinted at the seriousness of the matter. They were both shocked by this unexpected turn of events.
"Um, I'm not really against LGBTQ+ stuff, but my sister's recent relationship hasn't been smooth. Besides, she likes someone else. So, it's not appropriate for you to pursue her. Plus, I always imagined her with a guy she likes. If you chase after her, I think it's not right."
Balk's mouth was dry, feeling a bit scared. Not only Balk, but Sylvia also felt the same. Although they didn't dislike LGBTQ+ individuals like their brother, they found it a bit strange when it involved them personally. And suddenly, seeing Miles here today felt like a relief.
"Um, I think I should go find Miles first. You two can chat slowly. I'm leaving."
