Day Five…

~~*****~~

As soon as Nathan entered the room, his observant eyes noticed the strange expression of his two friends, most especially Aiden. He tossed a look at them, his eyes scrutinizing them from top to bottom.

Stephen's hand was wrapped around Aiden's shoulder while Aiden had a startled look on his face. His facial expression cracked further when he met Nathan's deep blue eyes. Those two men were acting suspiciously.

'Are they guilty of something? What kind of mess they've created this time?' Nathan lifted his eyebrow, his gaze fixed particularly on Aiden's face.

Axel greeted the two guys while Nathan walked past them, proceeding to his desk. He pulled out his executive chair away from his office table and he lazily sat down, crossing his legs and leaning his exhausted body on the backrest of his executive chair.

"Get me a glass of cold water," Nathan requested his assistant. Axel swiftly moved, obeying his Master.

On the other hand, Aiden and Stephen watched him silently. They could tell that Nathan was not in a good mood. Now, Aiden was having a second thought. Maybe this was not the right time to bring up the date with Abigail.

"We should leave silently. Maybe, we should ask Uncle Xu's help. Who knows… he might be able to convince Nathan easily as compared to us?" Aiden whispered to Stephen, tugging the tip of his sleeves.

Aiden didn't wait for Stephen to reply. He removed Stephen's arm and he turned around to leave. But even before he could take another step, Nathan's cold voice was heard. "Stop."

Aiden cursed inwardly, slamming his eyes while biting his lower lip. He came to a halt and Stephen grabbed Aiden's collar, pulling him back to his original spot.

"You can't run," Stephen murmured to him, making Aiden elbow him on his side. Aiden looked daggers at him with his bloodshot eyes while cursing his name inwardly. 'What a traitor and unfaithful friend!'

Aiden was given time to breathe when Axel came back, holding a glass of cold water. Nathan's attention was diverted away from Aiden temporarily. Taking a gulp from his glass of water, Nathan asked them without looking in their direction. "What favor do you need from me this time? Did you get in trouble again?"

Nathan's direct confrontation caught them by surprise. They haven't mentioned anything yet to him. How come he had known something about the favor they would be asking him? Aiden and Stephen exchanged a puzzled look at each other before shifting their gaze back to Nathan. Little did they know, it was Ethan who told his father about the favor.

"What favor?" Aiden asked him anxiously, tugging his shirt away from his neck to get air. His body produced cold sweats as he became tense and pressured. Stephen, on the other hand, just maintained his innocent smile.

"Ethan," Nathan just simply mentioned Ethan's name, answering Aiden's question.

Stephen and Aiden didn't have to ask twice. They've already figured it out. That little godson of them was the real culprit, selling them out to his father right away. Couldn't he give them some time to fulfill the end of the deal?

Stephen nudged Aiden's shoulder, pushing him forward. "Talk to him."

Aiden narrowed his eyes at Stephen before moving his gaze back to Nathan who started tapping his fingers on the surface of his table. This gesture was telling them not to make him wait too long and just spill it out.

Aiden simply scratched the back of his head, smiling sheepishly. "I'm here to report, not to ask some favor," he lied.

Stephen could only shake his head helplessly. Meanwhile, Nathan leaned forward, placing his elbows on his desk as he put his palms together, intertwining his fingers.

"What did you find out after meeting her?" Nathan asked, concealing the interest in his eyes.

Trying to find the right words to say, Aiden took his time before answering Nathan. A few seconds later, his eyes lit up as he recalled something.

"Why didn't you tell me that Abigail has a habit of beating someone up! She almost broke my arm during our first meeting! You should have warned me!" Aiden put on a pitiful face as he complained.

Nathan was taken aback for a moment when he heard that. Aiden's remarks reminded him of the moment wherein Abigail also attacked him, smacking him down on the floor.

For some unknown reason, Nathan's lips twitched, hiding the small smile which threatened to come out. He was glad that Aiden also experienced getting beaten up by Abigail Scarlett.

"Tell me more…" Nathan urged him to continue.

Aiden glanced at Stephen for a moment, still hesitating whether he would bring it up or not. Stephen bobbed his head meaningfully, encouraging him to let the cat out of the bag already!

Taking a deep breath, Aiden mustered his courage up to tell Nathan what he needed to say.

"Aside from having good combat skills, I found out that Abigail Scarlett has a deep monstrous crush on you!" he started.

A deep frown appeared between his eyes, staring at Aiden incomprehensibly. Was he glad or displeased? Aiden and Stephen couldn't read his mind. Thinking that Nathan was fine with it, Aiden got a boost to bring up the 'Dating Bet'.

"If you don't believe me, you can also ask Stephen. He was there in the mansion with me yesterday. The three of us even played poker together with Veronica! Abigail even made a bet with us. And you know what she wanted once she won?" Aiden paused as he laughed amusingly.

"She wants you!"

Nathan: "..."

Being carried away by his own story, Aiden continued speaking. "So we played the game. And she won. Stephen and I lost. Now, we are here to ask you… Nate, can you go out with her on a date? You know… we are a man of our word so we have to keep our end of the bargain. Right, Nate? So… will you–" Aiden was silenced by the sound of the glass breaking. Nathan accidentally dropped the glass he was holding to the floor.

Aiden and Stephen gazed at him expectantly, holding their breath.

"Aiden Wu… Stephen Zhao…" Nathan called them out in his calm tone, yet his lips curled up in a vicious smile. And the second time he spoke up, he scared the crap out of them. "Get out now… before… I. KILL. YOU. BOTH!"

'How dare they involve me with this bet?!'
