Chapter 212
Elio’s response was brief. “Whatever you want.”
“Whatever I want?” Quincy seemed thrilled. “Alright, chief, I got you.”
After ending the call, Elio tossed his phone onto the desk without a care.
He turned around to look out the window as Astrid’s face replayed in his mind.
She should be home by now, right?
What was she doing?
The incident online today was a big deal; would it affect her?
After some pondering, Elio felt restless.
He spent about an hour wrapping up his work, then made his exit. Once in his car, he rang up Roman.
The first call went unanswered.
He dialed again, and Roman’s excited voice came through. “Elio, what’s up?”
“Hurry, Astrid! Hit him, hit him!”
The noise on the other end was overwhelming.
“Where are you, Roman?” Before Elio could finish, Roman hung up.
But from the sounds of it, he was at the arcade, and it seemed like he was with Astrid.
While he was worrying about whether Astrid was upset about the online incident, she was out playing games at the arcade with Roman?
And the most important thing was that they went without him and had no plans to include him.
Unbelievable.
After sitting in his car for a while, Elio decided to call Astrid.
It took a while before Astrid picked up. “Elio, what’s up?”
“Where are you guys? I’m coming over.” Fearing rejection, Elio quickly added, “It looks like it’s gonna rain soon; let me pick you up.”
“I drove here.” Astrid replied.
Elio was speechless.
Roman’s voice came through the phone, “Hurry up; I want to play that… Don’t mind Elio; he doesn’t know how to play games.”
Elio was speechless again.
That little rascal!
Astrid was being tugged by Roman. But upon hearing the silence from Elio, she felt bad for rejecting him and said, “We’re on the third floor of the arcade. We’re gonna play first.”
With that, Astrid hung up.
Roman pouted and was a bit unhappy. “Why did you invite Elio? He’s always staring at you.”
“Well…” Astrid was at a loss for words. “Roman, let’s be generous and let him watch.“)
Roman sulked, “Fine.”
Looking at Roman’s adorable face, Astrid picked him up and showered him with kisses through her mask.
Roman looked at Astrid with her mask on. “We used to go out without masks; why do we have to wear them now?”
“And why do I have to wear one too?”
“Um…” Astrid paused, “Because I’m a celebrity now, and if people recognize me, they might invite me to play with them, and then I won’t be able to play with you!”
Hearing this, Roman immediately became alert and used his chubby little hands to pull Astrid’s hat down to cover her face.
I love Roman.
“Why did you invite Elio? He’s always staring at you.”
“Well…” Astrid was at a loss for words. “Roman, let’s be generous and let him watch.“
He’s adorable.
