Martin hadn’t seen Chance for almost a week since their fight over Joey last time. Either of them had taken the initiative to speak to each other.
Chance froze when Martin showed up in his office.
Martin had always been a proud man. They had gotten into fights before, but Martin had never admitted his own mistake. Chance had always been the one to apologize to him first.
Chance stared at Martin for a while and asked, “What’s wrong with you?”
Chance was still angry with Martin for yelling at him and giving him a lecture last time.
Martin was a little embarrassed, but he decided to ignore it, “Chance, my man, are you still mad at me? It was a week ago. If I were wrong about you being attracted to her, then I apologize.”
“What if I did? Are you going to kill me?” Chance ventured, a little aggressive and revengeful.
Martin’s smile was gone. He hesitated for a second and asked, “I’m here today for something else. I want a bottle of your specially made discutient. ASAP.”
Chance understood all at once why Martin showed up today, “Well, I thought it was weird that you decided to apologize to me. It turns out you’re asking me a favor. Now it all makes sense. Tell me, who did you sleep with last night? Did you hurt the girl when you two got too passionate in bed? And you need my specific discutient for her?”
Martin blushed and couldn’t help recalling Joey underneath him in the car a while ago. He shook his head to shake off the outrageous idea. He frowned and said loudly to Chance, “Cut the crap and give it to me. Quick.”
“Don't be so excited. I bet she is gorgeous, or you wouldn't be so concerned about her. Wait for a second and I’ll get it for you.”
Chance shook his head in amusement and stood up to fetch the medicine.
“You’re full of nonsense.” Martin whispered.
When Martin got it, he left right away.
Chance was curious about the girl whom Martin was apparently smitten with. He picked up a pair of binoculars and went over to the window of his office, trying to sneak a peek at Martin’s new girl.
