Three hours later, Fred returned to see Eric.
"It’s a shame that he's really a guy! No kidding. You can't fake that Adam's Apple,” Fred said regretfully.
"Why did you spend so much time with him when you already know that he is a guy?" Eric glanced at the time. "Did you two really go for a spa treatment after grabbing food?"
Fred shook his head. "No. I did get to see his muscles, though. He got hot while we were eating and he took off his jacket, so I saw everything..."
"And? What did you two do?" Eric asked in confusion.
Meanwhile, Nico showed his sister the screen of his phone.
"He was playing games with me and helped me get past the difficult levels! He isn't all that good-looking and is a bit chubby, but he is kind of nice. He didn't even swear when our teammates screwed up. I can tell that he is a decent guy," Nico said.
Nadia shoved his hand aside. "So? Did you two plan your next gaming session before saying goodbye?"
"Yeah! I asked him to help me out!" Nico hit his sister with his puppy eyes. "Don't break contact with him just yet! Even if you can't be lovers, you can be friends! If you are just friends, looks won't matter, right? He bought me lunch today! He ordered so much food and I ate to my heart's content!"
Nadia was rendered speechless at how easily impressed Nico was.
To her, Dean was a bottomless pit and she didn’t think it was smart for her parents to be involved with such a man for money.
After hearing everything about 'Big N' from his assistant, Eric felt disgusted especially when he was told that 'Big N' was an energetic and innocent college student; he couldn't believe that he had been matched to such a person.
"I already told him to explain everything to his family, Mr. Santos. You don't have to worry about this ever again," Fred said. "He asked me to keep hanging out with him and I said yes."
"You seem to like him, huh?" Eric shot his assistant a look.
