Maybe I could have gotten married by now, and I might already have kids too. Bryan was starting to daydream. The more he thought about it, the happier he was.
After dinner was done, the kids said, "We're going to the restroom, Uncle Bryan. Come with us."
"Sure." Bryan looked at the kids, oblivious of the trap they were laying out for him. When they came to the restroom, he asked, "What do you need, kids?"
The kids resumed their usual, aloof selves again.
Bryan thought they looked a little weird. Something's off, but I can't put a finger on it. He repeated, "What do you need, kids?" He knew they wouldn't call him over for nothing.
James put his hands behind his back and asked mysteriously, "So what do you think about the dinner?"
Bryan nodded. "Great." The food was nice, and the atmosphere was impeccable. He told them about how the kids managed to make Jennifer so happy, she fell into his lap laughing. The thought of that scene made him smile even more. He looked at the kids happily and praised, "You're my lucky stars, kids. You helped me out big time." He wouldn't mind a few more dinners like that.
Jack nodded. "Good. As long as you're happy."
"Of course I am. I'm super happy." Bryan didn't realize he had walked straight into their trap.
"Hehe." Jacob smiled and looked at his hand. He said, "Since you're so happy about it, then it's time to pay."
Pay? Bryan froze up, as if he heard something unbelievable. He was petrified. "I-I don't get it? What are you talking about?" But I paid for the meal, didn't I?
He still hasn't realized it? Man, he's stupid. Jude shook his head in disapproval and said coldly, "The payment for our help. We told you we don't help anyone for free."
"Huh?" Bryan gasped. He knew what was going on now. So that show at dinner was paid service. They were helping me? But they didn't tell me about it. He finally realized the whole thing, and he thought, So this is forced spending?
Morales noticed his shock, and he said, "We're friends, so we don't mind giving you a discount."
Yep, we're nice businessmen alright. We're kind and helpful.
So they're getting used to this, huh? The corner of Bryan's lips twitched. "So how does this discount work?" Yeah, it won't be much of a discount. They're their kids alright. They got all this business talent from them. More importantly, they look too cute to be cunning. Nobody would expect kids like them to be so smart. Nobody's gonna believe me even if I told them. He cried in his heart. Looks like I have no way out of this.
"Let's see…" Morales twiddled his thumbs and muttered under his breath. A moment later, as if he was being overly generous, he said, "I can give you a twelve percent discount."
