This was the image Reggie saw when he entered the door.
The two of them, Kevin and Olivia, were sprawled out on the sofa, seriously watching Ruby and Levi play a game.
He froze for a moment at first, the first time he had seen Levi so relaxed and casual.
He stood by the side for a while, waiting for the two to finish their round before he walked over, a polite smile still on his face, "Miss Harold, Colonel Finn."
Levi gave him a faintly oblique glance at his words, the corners of his lips curling up in a smile that seemed to be absent.
Reggie felt his heart thump, with a creepy feeling.
He glanced at Levi in disbelief, and did not understand what he had done to offend this bigwig.
But now was not the time to talk about this, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart before looking at Ruby: "Miss Harold, I have come to look for you this time because I want to ask you for a favor."
"What is it?" Ruby put the phone aside before she raised her eyebrows and looked at Reggie.
"It's like this, an old friend of mine has run into a bit of trouble and wants to ask you for a favor." Reggie smiled curtly as he looked at Ruby.
"What kind of trouble?" Ruby frowned, looking at Reggie with that look, vaguely guessing something.
"It's a bit like what happened to me last time, but his is a bit more serious than mine." Reggie coughed before lowering his voice and saying.
"I have no time." Ruby refused without even thinking about it.
Reggie didn't expect her to refuse so abruptly.
As he was about to speak, Cara had come over and gave a glance at Reggie without good grace. She remembered that this was the man who came to her door that day and took Ruby away with him.
"Dinner's ready, why are you still playing? Kevin, your sister still has business to do, what are you doing bringing her to play games?" Cara shouted and glared at Kevin again.
Kevin looked at Cara with an innocent face, aggrieved, "Grandma, am I your real grandson?"
"You were not born by me." Cara replied without hesitation.
"Hurry up and cut the crap." Seeing that several people hadn't moved, Cara urged again.
After she finished speaking and turned around to see Reggie still standing there, she immediately scolded in a bad mood, "What are you still doing here? I didn't cook your meal, besides, Ruby said just now that she doesn’t have time to help you, you can go now. Why come here at dinner time?"
The old lady finished speaking and walked straight to the dining room.
Reggie looked at Ruby in pity.
Ruby also ignored him and got up to wash her hands and eat.
Reggie stood there, embarrassed, Kevin gave him a sympathetic look and went over to eat with Olivia.
"Don't always bother her, and don't spread the word about her." Levi stuffed his phone into his pocket, his indifferent gaze fell on Reggie, dropped a sentence and left straight away.
Reggie wanted to cry, he had already boasted to others, but now he really did not know what to do.
Looking at Ruby and the others sitting there eating, he could only sigh helplessly and silently sat down on the sofa, waiting for Ruby to finish eating.
"Why haven't you left yet?" Having eaten enough, once Cara came over and saw Reggie, her eyes glared and she scolded with an unhappy face.
