Chapter 173 Again With Thorin



Of course, Javier was just playing around with Luca. There was no way he would be serious with her for something so trivial.


Calling away, they finally arrived at the Easton Group headquarters.


Luca muttered downstairs as if he wanted to say something.


Javier can see all his thoughts with one look. “Because it's not convenient for you to talk to your father, forget it. All you have to do is send me a message. It doesn't matter whether he decides to meet me or not. The future of Panganis solely depends on the ability of your family, nothing else.”


Luca does want Javier to meet his father because his father has repeatedly instructed that he wants to meet Javier if the opportunity arises.


However, now that Javier had said this, Luca could not muster up the courage to say anything more.


Javier said, “This is a good thing. Otherwise, how can you communicate with me if your parents treat me politely?


Luca pondered for a moment and thought that he made sense. Even if his father spoke to Javier politely, there was absolutely no way he could raise his head high in front of the man anymore.


Thus, he easily admits to what he was just told and escorts Javier to the restaurant with his Ferrari.


It was after hours of work, so it didn't matter whether one was rich or not. They still have to deal with traffic jams.


Fortunately, Javier is not hungry yet, so he just sits in the car and chats casually with Luca, where he says that Edelgard is progressing very well. He now had a really solid schedule, to the point that he had no time to catch his breath.


However, he had traveled to the hospital some time ago and rested at home for about four days. Apparently, he had a cold and a fever, but he had recovered.


If Edelgard were an ordinary person, he would lose his entire month of incentives, which would be a considerable sum!


As they continued the chat, they arrived at the restaurant that was decorated so elegantly


Even the main hall has a piano placed right in the middle, with a very famous pianist often appearing on television programs.


It seems that the restaurant owner is a strong enough person to be able to hire this pianist to perform at his restaurant. 'Very good.'


However, the part brought by the pianist seemed somewhat out of step with the atmosphere. In comparison, it would be like someone serving a plate of pork right next to a plate of caviar. Although the two were delicious dishes, they did not seem to complement each other when placed together.


Fortunately, Javier is not a picky person, nor will he find fault for something so trivial. So, even though he didn't like the combination, he didn't mind.


As they ate, Luca once again talked about Edelgard during their conversation, saying that he had been very busy recently and had already gone to Haeside that night.


"I think he should come back tomorrow, so let us buy you some food when he gets back."


Javier chuckled and agreed to the invitation. 'It looks like Edelgard and Luca are heading in a pretty good direction romantically.


"As much as I'm interested in her body, I'm not so interested in her as a person."


However, this was not because Edelgard was not a woman that Javier considered subpar, or they could not get along well. Instead, Javier thought they were born to fit in as friends. Even though they have been involved in certain activities, they will still be friends. In fact, it would feel a little out of place if they were dating each other.


Javier thinks that it won't be a problem for him to befriend her, but things might get a little messy if he sees her as a woman.


After all, the fact that Edelgard preferred her boyfriend to stay by her side at all times was already a big deal for Javier.


'Maybe the guy like Luca who would follow him wherever he went was the guy Edelgard really wanted on his girlfriend.'


As the two of them chatted, laughter suddenly resounded, breaking the harmonious atmosphere in the elegant appearance inside the restaurant.


In the next instant, the laughter that silenced the entire place approached Javier and Luca.


“Why not Luca, my best friend, and Javier? How coincidental!"


Javier raised his head to take a look before he saw the face of Thorin's puppet.


'Despite being a man, he dressed like a woman. I just can't stand to see it.


Do they look better in that style? If so, it is a style that is difficult for me to understand, I also do not know how to admire it.'


On the other hand, Luca's heart sank upon seeing Thorin.


He was not afraid of bumping into Thorin but the latter might cause trouble.


Sure enough, just as he was about to persuade Thorin to leave them alone, the latter spoke up.


“I'm sorry about what happened earlier, Javier. I'm so drunk that I rudely offended you and your wife. Please, I'm sorry for that. Therefore, let me buy you this meal tonight. I'll also pay for all the events tonight, so let's have fun at the bar tonight!”


Surprisingly, Luca never thought that Thorin would actually suggest such a thing when they met each other, coupled with such a kind attitude.


Therefore, not wanting to make the relationship between Javier and his best friend too awkward, Luca relinquishes his initial intention of trying to persuade Thorin to leave.


"Thorin really drank too much last time, Javier, so please don't remember it."


After that, Luca signals Thorin. "Hurry up and pour him a drink then, Thorin!"


Thorin laughed out loud. “I am very very sorry. I'm so happy to see you again that I completely forgot about this! ”


Thorin pointed one finger at a servant as he spoke, gesturing for the latter to bring him a new set of equipment.


After pouring a full glass of alcohol, Thorin raised his glass and apologized in a sincere manner. “I'm sorry for my previous immaturity, Javier. I'd like to apologize to you now officially, so I'll drink to your health first!”


After which, Thorin raised his head and gulped down his glass filled with wine, which was a sign of respect to Javier.


Regardless of Thorin's ulterior motives, he could still behave decently as expected.


Javier then raises his glass and empties it as a sign of respect to Luca, who is thrilled to see his best friend make up with Javier.


“This is a very good thing. There is no more bloodshed between us.'


Unfortunately, Luca may be the only one who thinks so.


Javier smiled as he looked at Thorin. Somehow, he seemed to be able to hear what Thorin was thinking back then. 'I can't wait to take you to the ground tonight!


Javier, on the other hand, has his own thoughts in response. 'I can't wait to see what you'll try to do to me tonight!'


Javier and Luca are almost done with their meal, so they drink a few more glasses before Thorin suggests they go for some fun.


Of course, Luca was willing to comply because he thought the three of them were now good friends. 'We'll be able to get closer if we have fun together.


I've heard someone say that one will only be able to really be good friends with another after they shoot each other, evenly dividing their spoils of war, he said, or even stay together while having fun with our own separate women.


Now that Thorin has arranged something, I think we can forget everything except the last one!'


So, under Thorin's ill intentions and Luca's passionate invitation, Javier finally leaves with them.


Thorin drives his Lamborghini and leads the way, while Ferrari Luca follows behind.


In the car, Luca excitedly said, “Thorin is a little arrogant, but he's basically not a bad guy. Although the people in our circle were all rich, they were all stingy in that regard, counting each expenditure up to one tea.


“However, Thorin is not like that. He never cared about money when he made friends, so it didn't matter if someone chased after him


money or want to take advantage of his stupidity. They would all feel more pleasant to be friends with him. So, the guy's pretty good…"


Javier sneered when he heard a series of compliments. "You can go on and repeat the words you just said to me if you really think you can still be friends with him after tonight!"
