Chapter 288 - Whatever! I'm So Pathetic..

At a privately owned bar

Two grown men had varied expressions plastered across their faces, one was somewhat sober and agitated while the other was drunk beyond one's recognition.

Tonnes of differing thoughts running amock akin to toothless bunnies in their minds as they sat across each other consuming the silence.

The table in front had a variety of alcoholic drinks, both bottles and glasses flooded the entire surface. It was an eyesore to any dedicated teetotaler.

Dressed in an off-white button up shirt and black trousers, hair slightly unkempt but clean shaven face, the drunk man gulped glasses after glasses with his lightly trembling hand. His oceanic blue eyes filled with desolation and endless bouts of sorrow.

"Ad! Man, Stop drinking..! It won't help you..!"

Cursing inwardly Luke shook the hazy Adrian trying to stop him from drinking further.

Undoubtedly not best pleased by this 'one-sided drinking party' arranged by Adrian tonight, Luke was miffed. He had yet to down his third glass yet the man opposite him was a full tanker filled to the brim with alcohol.

With his curly hair tied into a messy bun, Luke was donning a pair of khaki shorts paired with a pale orange tshirt. A troubled expression on his handsomely chiseled face with a light stubble adding to his manliness. His shiny pair of light green eyes were bewitching to any lady in the world.

It was no doubt that Luke was a complete package, an infinitely gorgeous sight to sore eyes.

Nodding his head like a broken bobbing toy, Adrian's smiled faintly at Luke's worked-up front. The latter's eyes twitched as he witnessed the fading smile on his face.

In the next second Adrian's face landed in the table giving Luke a death scare. He jumped on his seat almost screaming out loud.

Lying with his face down on the table Adrian sat motionless for as long as eternity.

"Brother!! Ad! You listening?? Ughhh.."

Shaking the man who was sprawled on the table with his eyes squeezed shut, Luke grunted as he felt deep exasperation at that moment.

"Ugh~ Luke!! My brother, my friend, my.. Umm.. Whatever! I'm so pathetic!"

Raising his head Adrian rested his chin on the table, his glassy eyes staring at Luke who was frowning. He slurred in his deep voice that was now akin to a pitiful cry as he laughed in dismay.

"I can't even confess to the girl I like.. Zhang Lili..! Zhang, Zhang Lili..!!"

While coming back to F Country from a special conference Adrian stumbled upon Zhang Lili in the airport. She was beautiful as ever in a white cardigan and purple pants that made her appear taller and slimmer.

This chance encounter of just ten seconds after nearly 6 months managed to Adrian's heart. The deepest emotions that were buried inside him for so long came to life in mere seconds wreaking havoc in his heart and mind.

"Let's get you back home, now.. You're smashed!"

Sighing, Luke had no other choice than to bring Adrian to his rented apartment since he couldn't step inside the castle like this, it was unsafe. The man was completely hammered.

It was currently noon, the sun was bright and radiant in the sky spreading it's light while Adrian was glum. His eyes were shut as Luke dragged his heavy body inside his apartment.

Adrian's apartment was a personification of his entire cold self. Completely bland, dry and tasteless however it was fully equipped with latest technologies and electronics as well as trendy furniture.

The color schemes were dark, only comprising of black and grey with no light or other easy on the eye colors. There was no white too, except for his white shirts, tissues and the toilet bowl.

Tucking the bulky man in his bed, Luke set the right temperature and switched the lights off, only leaving the bed lamps on in the bedroom. He then slowly walked out closing the door behind him, he left soon after.

After sleeping like a long for the whole afternoon Adrian finally woke up around 6 in the evening. He scanned his surroundings with his disoriented gaze.

"Where am I?"

Squinting his blue eyes Adrian clutched his head that was throbbing in pain, he sat up straight flinging the sheets off him and strolled towards the bathroom.

Outside Adrian's apartment a frail figure was pacing back and forth, anxiously.

"Ah~ What should I do? What if he's not inside today as well..?"

Attired in a large sweatshirt in red that covered her thighs and denim shorts Su Yin was frantic. Her large black orbs were eyeing the closed front door in agitation as she mentally prepared herself to walk in.

As usual, the great stalker, Su Yin would everyday find her Mr Knight with blue eyes, Adrian. She'd look for the man so as to pester him into accepting her proposal and becoming her exclusive boyfriend for three whole months. But, sadly, that wasn't the case for her these few days.

After the day Adrian piggybacked Su Yin and they spent some cordial time together for the first time, the man disappeared without a word.

There was no trace of Adrian.

Even Adrian's trusted guards had no idea about his whereabouts. Naturally they weren't allowed to breath a word about the special conference, hence, kept mum about it.

It's been nearly five days, Su Yin hadn't seen Adrian since that memorable day. She missed him terribly and wanted to irk him, tease him, hit him, kick his ass and even rain kisses on his godly handsome but easily abashed face.

After great difficulties Su Yin eventually found out the address of Adrian's apartment, here, in F Country. She was thrilled.

Like a lovesick fool, Su Yin would everyday visit the castle around afternoon and spend the rest of the evening outside Adrian's apartment waiting for him, she was like an abandoned puppy waiting for it's master, loyally.
