“It’s me.”
Hearing Mike’s voice, Alexander and Austin shared a stunned look. They felt Mike had caught them red-handed doing something without his knowledge. Of course, they were just trying to figure out what happened to him.
Alexander gave Austin a reassuring look, then got up to open the door. “What’s the matter?”
Mike looked tired as he stood at the doorway, his eyes bloodshot. He looked inside and asked. “Austin’s here too, right?”
Alexander glanced over his shoulder. “Yeah.”
“Can we talk inside?” Mike raised his brow, then rubbed it.
Feeling he was acting a bit off, Alexander nodded and stepped aside. “Come in.”
He left the door open and led Mike inside before pulling a chair over. “Take a seat.”
However, Mike did not sit down. Instead, he stood beside the table and looked at the two. “You were talking about me, weren’t you?”
Embarrassed, the other two fell silent. Not knowing what to say, Austin coughed with his fist held to his mouth.
However, Alexander bluntly answered, “Yes, we were.”
Since Mike was being direct, Alexander thought he should also be upfront. However, he was curious what Mike would say.
