Milan glanced a long time at me, then his eyes suddenly lit up. He finally remembered who I was. "I can't believe it’s you."
I looked at him and smiled a little. "It's been a while, Mr. Milan."
He narrowed his eyes at Theo and chuckled in a meaningful manner. "What do you plan to do by bringing a woman in here, Mr. Zimmerson?”
Those words clearly conveyed his current displeasure.
Tory was nonchalant and merely said to Theo, "It's getting late, Mr. Grant. I can see that Mrs. Grant is tired. You should go back earlier and get some rest."
"Are you messing with me, Tory?" Milan erupted in anger. He grabbed the wine glass on the coffee table and hurled it at him.
Tory tilted his head and dodged it.
He had no plans of entertaining Milan and continued to say to Theo, "You're visiting my grandpa tomorrow, so it won't be good if you go to bed too late."
He urged once more.
After being ignored twice, Milan was utterly enraged. He pulled out his weapon and pointed it at Tory. "Zimmerson, how dare you mess with me?!"
My heart trembled as my nerves tensed at the sight of his weapon.
Theo guarded me behind him, still calm and composed.
Tory was long used to being pointed at with weapons, so he looked at Milan with a dark gaze while saying with a slight smile," If you want to walk out of here alive tonight, Mr. Milan, then you'd better put your weapon away.”
Milan's gaze turned austere. "How dare you threaten me?"
Tory shrugged. "I'm not."
It was clear that Milan was holding back his anger. After several minutes of stalemate, he put his weapon away and suddenly laughed while looking at Theo." We have plenty of time, Mr. Grant. See you soon."
Theo had been very calm from the beginning to the end. Even at this moment, he nodded with a blank expression. "I'll welcome you with open arms anytime you want to have a drink together. As for everything else, my answer will still be the same. I won’t do things to hurt others."
