The night is bright. The neon lights up the city, and kicks off the nightlife of people in the urban.
In Quinn Residence.
The floating light is like the surging water, rippling in the dim private box.
"Wow, What's wrong with our Mr. Murphy today? He has been drinking so much alone before I come here?" Noel pushes the door and comes in. A strong smell of beer immediately comes to him. He glances at the empty bottles on the table.
Kenny leans on the sofa, and his hand still holds a glass of beer. The golden liquor reflects different colors by the spotlight. He glances at Noel lightly, then takes out a new glass and pours one for him. "You're late, drink it!"
He has been in a bad mood all day today. The resentment keeps in his chest. He thinks if he doesn't vent his anger, he will suffocate to death because of that before tomorrow.
Noel sits down, and quickly pours himself a glass of beer. He toasts, "this is for my punishment."
Kenny also takes a drink, and asks, "do you know what Ives has been up to lately? I called him out, but he refused.
"Beats me. You know him, a writer, is always mysterious." Noel answers, pouring Kenny a drink by the way.
"So, what's the matter? You don't drink so much alcohol in usual." They have known each other since they were little kids, and they have already got a clear picture of each other's character.
Kenny's face is gloomy. He doesn't speak for a long while, just keeps drinking.
Noel is outgoing, and he can rarely be quiet. A few minutes later, he can't stand the silence any more. "Kenny Murphy, I've made my time to drink with you. Are you going to do this to me all night?"
Kenny then asks calmly, "what do you want to know?"
"There are only two situations for men to drink, one is for love, and the other is for work. Since your business goes so smoothly, then there is only the first possibility left!" Noel raises his eyebrows and smiles, "did you quarrel with my goddess?"
Kenny frowns, and he is still reluctant to talk about that.
But his expression has already told Noel that he is right.
"Or...are you dumped by my goddess?" Noel laughs, "does it mean that I have a chance now?"
He's right. Kenny is really angry because of Poppy, but that doesn't mean Noel get a chance now. Kenny glares at him, "Noel, you're so cheeky!"
Noel drinks the alcohol and lightly smashes his fist on Kenny's shoulder. "With our friendship, what can't I say?"
Kenny snorts coldly and says confidently, "she won't like you."
She was born for the sake of benefits. At present, Kenny hasn't seen the value of noel to her.
Noel gets frustrated. "Don't be so mean. With my charm, I don't believe that I can't get her heart."
Kenny disdains, "your charm? Do you mean the smell of Cologne all over your body? "
Kenny most dislikes the strong perfume smell of Noel. He's not a woman, why does he always wear perfume?
"You don't understand. Just like you wear a dark suit all day, which is like that you are going to a funeral. These are our preference."
He turns the topic back to Poppy.
"Tell me about it, what happened to you?" Noel is so curious about the matter with them. Especially things about Poppy, he is more interested in it.
