Chapter 416 Firm in Speech but Soft in Heart
The air became froze. Lance stunned.
A few seconds later, he smiled again. "Why don't you sleep? What are you doing here?"
Andy looked at him coldly and said, "I'm stalking you."
Lance lowered his head and continued to button up his wrist. Then he put on the coat on his arm and said, "I'm not a girl. Why are you always stalking me?"
Andy asked, "Do you want to go to that underground boxing ring?"
Lance didn't say anything. He still smiled, but his eyes were cold.
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Andy kept silent, either. The two of them were in this stalemate for a few minutes.
Lance finally lost his composure.
Looking at the expressionless Andy, he took two steps forward and didn't stop until his toes touched Andy's.
"Andy."
Lance said sincerely.
Andy didn't look him in the eye, "Stay away from me."
Lance smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to hear me if I stay away."
Andy was speechless.
Lance looked down at his watch and said seriously, "I'm going to the underground boxing ring. Emmett is my brother. I have to save him."
Andy frowned and said, "You should tell Mr. Farrell."
Lance said, "We're not in Cocanel. If it's Cocanel, I'll tell him. But this is the Bomsville. As the saying goes, a dragon couldn't defeat a local snake."
Andy didn't say anything.
Lance looked at him and said jokingly, "Do you think we are shooting a movie, and the heroine and heroine always shine wherever they are? This is the reality. We must keep a low profile in other people's territory and be cautious."
Andy didn't say anything but looked at Lance.
Lance took out a cigarette box, smoked one, and handed it to Andy. "I haven't seen you smoke yet."
Andy said, "Smoking is harmful to health."
Lance burst into laughter.
He smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Seeing Lance's smile, Andy frowned.
He felt that Lance was laughing at him.
Obviously.
After laughing, Lance took out a cigarette from the pack and handed it to Andy. "Have a try."
Andy didn't move.
Lance put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth and said, "Don't worry. One cigarette won't kill you."
Andy didn't want to accept it, but finally, he opened his mouth.
Lance took out the lighter and lit the cigarette for him. "I smoked my first cigarette when I was fourteen years old and had been adopted by the Langfords. At that time, when I met Faye, I pretended not to know her. Only that time, she took me to the backyard and almost beat me to death."
Lance was amused by Andy's words. He took out a whole box of cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Andy. "Then you can smoke a few more."
Andy looked at him and asked, "Do you have many brothers waiting to be saved?"
"No," Lance replied.
Andy looked at the closed elevator door and said, "Don't smoke too much. It's not good for your health."
The smile on Lance's face became more and more obvious as he pressed the elevator button.
After a while, the elevator door opened. The two got into the elevator one after the other.
As the elevator descended slowly, Lance teased, "You are cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Andy kept silent.
Then, the elevator door opened again, and he walked out.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator, Lance called in a low voice, "Andy."
Andy turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lance said, "Just stop here. I know your kindness."
Andy asked, "Are you going or not?"
Lance said, "I've inquired about that place. Many people have gone but never come back. I'm your friend, but we haven't known each other for a long time, so I don't want you to take risks for me. I..."
When Lance was about to reason with him, Andy grabbed his collar and pulled him out.
Lance struggled, "Let go of me."
Andy, "Shut up!"
