Critical hit!
Stan felt as if he had ten thousand lifepoints slashed off his existence just then!
Did they have to hurt him so much?
Meanwhile, James blinked at Stan. "Why don't you join us? You could come back later to catch up on your work."
"Buzz off!" Stan was no masochist—he would be the only single man at the table. It would be so awkward!
James said, "Just get yourself a woman soon and you won't be single anymore."
"Does it look like Mr. Jefferson has another sister?" Stan snapped.
Isaac wheeled on Stan, his aloof gaze slightly cold just then. "What was that?"
"Nothing!" Stan quickly smiled and turned to flee immediately.
The elevator doors opened just then and Isaac strode inside with James behind him.
As the elevator went down, Isaac said, "Try not to upset Stan too much from now on."
James thought to himself that he was not really doing that, since he was just telling the truth…
That was when Isaac finished. "His brain isn't that good. You'd drive him nuts."
James was speechless and stared at Isaac in silence.
Stan would probably get a heart attack from that one if he heard it—that burn would leave him charred!
Soon, the elevator arrived at the basement parking lot and Isaac got into his car.
James opened the door and was about to get in, but Isaac shot him a look. "You're driving there on your own."
With that, he drove off, leaving James standing there speechlessly.
He looked around and decided that it was nothing awkward seeing that there was no one around, and so went to get his car as if nothing happened.

Erin was playing with Tommy in the courtyard.
Her eyes blindfolded as she tentatively reached out to feel if there were obstacles up front, calling out to the boy, "Tommy? Where are you, Tommy?"
