When Elijah received Austin's call, he thought that he saw it wrong. But the voice of the person on the other end of the phone was still as indifferent as ever.
Austin raised his eyebrows, "What happened, Austin? Are you asking me out?"
Austin just cut to the chase, "8 o'clock in the evening. ONE!"
Then Austin immediately cut off the call.
Elijah looked at the call that had been hung up.
Was this the attitude to ask him out?
Forget it! He was a gentleman. He wouldn’t care about it!
ONE was a well-known bar in J City. Elijah guessed Austin was likely to have some problems in his relationship, so he needed a mentor.
Thinking of it, Elijah drove at a gallop.
Anyway, he was a nice friend!
However, when Elijah saw Austin and Suny, he was stunned, "You ask me out?"
Why did Austin ask him out but Suny was there too?
Could it be that Austin wanted to do PDA in front of him?
For a moment, Elijah wanted to turn around and leave. That was ridiculous!
But Suny said before he turned around, "To be precise, Mr. Brooks, I asked you out."
Elijah sat down with a grumpy grunt, "What’s wrong with you guys? This is the first time you've asked me out!"
Suny smiled, "Yes, I have something to discuss with you, Mr. Brooks."
Elijah looked at Suny suspiciously. "What, what's the matter?"
Mr. Brooks finally learned from his several losses. But actually, from the moment he received Austin's call, he had fallen into a trap.
"Is the royalty of A Love Poem in Central's hands?"
Hearing this, Elijah breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Yeah, do you want it?"
"Can I?"
Elijah glanced at Austin. He wanted to say, "What benefits can I get?" But under Austin's staring, Elijah had to swallow it back, "You’re wasting your time turning A Love Poem into the comic."
Suny smiled, "So, I can take it as a yes?"
Suny said as she took out the contract, "I have already signed my name. Please send someone in charge of this to sign it tomorrow if there’s no problem. I will let my friend take it."
Elijah still had a lot to say, but in the end, he just said, "You seemed to come prepared tonight."
Suny raised her eyebrows, "I always come prepared."
Elijah glanced at Austin, "Well, you can’t lose this battle, right?"
He had to say yes in front of Austin!
A love Poem comic book wouldn’t be a big hit, and it had been proven. Someone did it before.
Since Suny asked it, Elijah would not disagree.
Out of curiosity, Suuy asked, "Can I ask why you are suddenly interested in A Love Poem?"
Suny gave a half smile and beat around the bush, "No reason."
Elijah snorted. Looking at the couple in front of him, he was a little sad, "Is there anything else?"
He was going down to a more interesting pub!
It was quiet and bored here for him.
Suny took a sip of the juice, "Take your time."
As she spoke, she tilted her head and glanced at Austin.
Austin looked at Elijah as an implication “you can get out.”
Elijah didn't want to stay with them any longer. He took a sip of juice, "I'm going to Deep Night. Are you guys coming with me?"
Undoubtedly, he received Austin's disgusting look.
