Both appearances could destroy cities, but they were of different types. One was so handsome that he had a strong, pressuring aura, while the other was so handsome that he seemed completely harmless. One was apathetic and aloof, the other was warm and pure.
“Why are you here? You got them to bring me over urgently, what for?” Josh was a tad annoyed.
How could Stanley do this? The man forcefully interrupted Josh’s date, ignored everything else, and simply got someone to drag him out of the restaurant.
“Why did you ignore Zack’s calls?” Stanley took a long draw of his cigarette before slowly breathing it out. Under the haze of smoke, unreadable emotions surged behind his dark eyes.
“I didn’t turn on my phone during work. I saw the missed calls after work, but because I had more important business to attend to, I forgot to call him back,” Josh answered honestly.
“Your so-called important business was a date with Xyla Quest?” Stanley asked.
“...Why do you seem to know my exact whereabouts? Did you get someone to follow me? Why? Did Dad make you do this?” Josh got more irked.
“Don’t you try to start anything. Why would I waste time getting someone to track you?” Stanley responded faintly. He stubbed out his cigarette and tossed it into the garbage can outside the car with great precision.
“Start something? What was I trying to start?”
Josh had no idea what his brother was talking about. He had been busy with work recently and hadn’t done anything at all.
“Could it be because I confessed to Xyla on Weibo? What’s that got to do with you?” Josh looked confused. “You disapprove of me liking a married woman? Xyla’s husband is practically non-existent. That man doesn’t treat her well. They’re in an open relationship and will divorce very soon,” he blurted out.
Stanley raised a defined eyebrow as his cold gaze fell on Josh’s face. “Did you just confess to her?”
“Yeah, but I got rejected.” Josh let out a long, helpless sigh.
Stanley’s attractive forehead gradually relaxed and his expression seemed more at ease.
“I’m not sure if that guy’s eyes are damaged. How could he push aside such a divine beauty? If his eyes are damaged, I suggest he donate them,” Josh added.
