The waittingbar at night had always been so charming that the place was never empty. The place would always be filled with familiar faces.
Aoba Hoyle was also a half time customer here. He could easily find where Ivy Aldington was.
He was, of course, in a secluded private place.
The curtain covered the outside view. Aoba Hoyle pushed a check in front of him.
“What does this mean?” Ivy Aldington was puzzled.
“A few days ago, a woman borrowed a million from you and today, I will pay it back for her.” he said without beating around the bush.
“Does she know about this? Since you are with her, you should know that she doesn’t like it when others intervene in her private affairs especially behind her back.”
“You don’t have to worry about this. I will tell her myself.”
Ivy Aldington pushed the check back, “I think you should tell her first. As far as I know her, she won’t like it this way. One million is nothing for you, but it is a burden for her.”
“You’re a weirdo. Why don’t you just accept the money?”
He didn’t know how much of a burden one million was for her, but he knew that paying off her debt would make her unhappy. She couldn’t even accept an iPhone, how could she accept a million? However, he didn’t like it when her woman owed another man a lot of money even if they were good friends.
Ivy Aldington sipped his wine and smiled, “I think Chloe would like to pay the money herself.”
“You know that with her income, she will not be able to pay it off for years.”
Now that she found a day job, she was very busy.
“You better tell your mother to do less wicked things in the future.” Ivy Aldington said while lowkey warning him.
Aoba Hoyle was not happy about this. It hit too close to home.
Ivy Aldington added, “As for the money, it doesn’t matter. I don’t urgently need it and even if she doesn’t pay it back, it doesn’t matter.”
Aoba Hoyle felt funny when he heard this. It felt flamboyant like he was showing off their friendship for years while he and Chloe Malan herself was not as solid.
“It must feel good to be friends for years.” he said sourly.
Ivy Aldington smiled, “I don’t have many friends. She is one of them. Since you’re with her, you should her temperament by now. She doesn’t like it when others decide things for her.”
Aoba Hoyle approached her with flickered eyes, “I’m his boyfriend, Ivy. I’m not ‘others’.”
Ivy Aldington turned a blind eye and smiled, “Exactly, you two are nothing but boyfriend and girlfriend. I can see other couples everywhere. Today, you get together and next day, you break up. It’s normal. Besides, you have a mother who is more like a bully. I doubt that your relationship with Chloe will last long.”
“You’re insulting me.” Aoba Hoyle wanted to strangle the man in front of him. How could he talk like that?
“I’m just telling you the truth.” he smiled.
Aoba Hoyle stayed for a while in the car and went back to the car. He slammed his steering wheel and horn that passerby thought he was inside.
