Darryl laughed lightly. "It's fine, I had nothing to do there anyway, plus I wasn't hungry.”
Megan was apologetic. "I'm so sorry. Kent and the others, they are just like that. Please don’t mind them."
Darryl shrugged, "It’s fine, I've met many of his types.” He glanced at Megan, and hesitated. "But, do you think you and Kent Hough are a match?"
It was none of his business, Darryl should not have brought it up, but he does not know what overcame him. Megan did not reply, but she seemed stiff and awkward.
The truth is, Megan does not dislike Kent, but she has no feelings for him either. It is mainly due to the fact that they both have similar family social standings, they have known each other for a long time, and on top of that, both of their families heavily approve of them being together, hence why she reluctantly agreed to be with Kent. However, she has a clear stance—no sex before marriage, hold hands at most.
Megan pivoted to another topic, and said, "Hey let’s go. I'll send you back. After all, I'm the one who brought you here, I can’t expect you to grab a cab back all by yourself.” Darryl nodded.
As they exited the hotel, Kent chased up to them and called out, "Meg! Why are you still with him?" Kent
was annoyed. He glanced at Darryl disrespectfully.
Megan replied, "Kent, I've told you many times. Darryl i s my friend. How could you treat him that way in the dining room just now?”
Seeing how Megan kept defending Darryl, Kent was furious. "Did I say anything wrong? Isn’t he the Lyndons’ live-in son-in-law? He has been living with the Lyndons for three years now-a worthless good-for -nothing. The entire Donghai City knows about this! I'm just telling it like it is!"
Megan ignored him and continued walking.
Conscious of how Megan disregarded him, Kent was anxious. He asked exasperatedly, "Where are you going?"
Megan replied angrily, "To send Darryl back! I'm the one who brought him here, I'm not going to leave him here all by himself!"
At first, Kent was fuming, but then he noticed Megan's figure-all of a sudden his anger dissipated. How could he get angry at such a gorgeous woman, who also happens to be his girlfriend?
