Eleanor looked up at the central space and asked, "Wasn't everything fine just a moment ago? Why did it suddenly break down? The equipment at Fiord Roundabout is top-notch and has never had any issues. Why did it break tonight?"
Bernard spoke in a cold tone, "Bryson, go and take a look."
Bryson agreed and went down, but he didn't call anyone to fix the air conditioning. He just stood outside the door.
With the air conditioning broken, it was very hot. Eleanor was wearing a bit too much clothing and soon couldn't bear it. Feeling the heat, she couldn't help but raise her hand and loosen the tightly wrapped scarf around her neck.
Robin occasionally stole glances at her and accidentally noticed the love bites on her neck. Blue and purple, a dense cluster of love bites, just like the ones he had seen in his dreams...
Yes, she was the subject of his first sexual fantasies, someone else's wife. All the tenderness, passion, madness, and intensity were directed at her. However, his desires were just fantasies.
In contrast, Bernard's desires were real.
Bernard's, on the other hand, was a reality.
Realizing this, Robin lowered his head in frustration.
Bernard who saw his mood change quickly figured out Robin's thoughts.
Ever since they were kids, he's always been competing with Bernard for everything. Now, even his woman was in his sights. Robin sure had guts.
Bernard's gaze suddenly exuded a chilling frost, "Mr. Spencer, my wife and I promised to love each other forever."
When he said this, his bright eyes stared fixedly at Robin's face, as if warning him not to fantasize.
Robin's first fluttering heart suddenly came to a halt.
Despite feeling uneasy, Robin pretended not to understand the underlying tension. He glanced at both of them and forced a light-hearted laugh, saying, "Is that so? Then I wish you both... eternal happiness."
Acknowledging his place, Bernard lifted his chin with arrogance and replied, "Thank you."
Eleanor couldn't fully comprehend the unspoken agreement between the two men, but she sensed that something wasn't quite right. It seemed Bernard's invitation to dinner wasn't for reconciliation, but rather to discuss their past.
As for Robin, Eleanor didn't pay close attention to his expressions, so she remained unaware of what he was truly thinking. However, his remark about 'eternal happiness' sounded bitter to her, and she glanced at him subconsciously.
But Robin quickly averted his gaze, put down his cutlery, and stood up, stating, "I have something to do, I'll go first."
