Chase was leaning against the pillar at the hotel entrance.
Smoking a cig and staring at the bustling B City, his eyes gradually became blurry.
After puffing on a few sticks, he got bored, tossed the butt, hand in pocket, and headed to the top floor of the hotel.
Upon entering, he spotted Cedric sitting in the lounge area, a glass in hand, hiding in the dim light.
The ladies around were trying to catch his eye, but he seemed unresponsive, like a man who'd lost his soul...
Chase lingered at the door for a moment, then walked over and sat next to him.
"What's up? Lost interest in women, or is something bothering you?"
Cedric, the lazy bum lounging on the couch, shot him a cold glance.
"If you've got nothing to say, zip it."
Chase chuckled lightly, took the drink handed over by the waiter, and took a big gulp.
"Is this disoriented look of yours because of Hertha?"
He knew what his bro was thinking, but he just had to push his buttons.
"If you miss her, I can give her a call. She'd be here in a heartbeat."
Cedric glanced at Chase, then spoke in a low voice, not bothering to refute him.
Witnessing Cedric in such a state was a first for Chase, surpassing even the time when he was unexpectedly dumped by Hertha during his first relationship.
