Chapter 108: You’re missing the hint
After refreshing himself with splashes of cold water on his face, Kylian took some time to walk out of the restroom and saw only Stephan was waiting for him at the table where they were set to eat. Due to the unnecessary interruption by Fred and the gang, their food had turned cold and bland which wasn’t edible anymore.
While sadly glancing at the food platters that were discarded by the workers of the cafeteria, Kylian mumbled to himself, ’Darn it... just watching all these foods discarded is making me angry at those bullies once again. I should’ve thrown a punch in his face at first to pick up the fight...then I wouldn’t have been feeling low like this now...’
"Kyle, those boys had another lecture to attend, so they left first. Before going, they said they would come to see you again and have already asked for your number from me." Noticing his sad face while looking at the food waste, Stephan exhaled a big sigh when he initiated a new conversation.
However, feeling a bit lighter in his head now, Kylian expressed his inner thoughts to him, "Well, i think I might’ve reacted a bit loudly towards Roby. You see, I tend to get angry whenever someone tries to belittle omegas because I have been raised by a single omega mother all alone. So...I will make sure to talk to Roby about it next time..."
"It’s completely fine, and I don’t think Roby has minded it at all. They might seem a bit weird to you at first, but I think those three have now become your devoted followers after watching how you defended Jack from those bully bastards." Stephan cordially answered him with a smile, but his gaze seemed a bit mysterious as if he was trying to avoid that topic.
After a brief pause, Stephan added further, "They already paid before leaving and I have also made the payment for my meal. So now, you are free to pay for your share." He gently passed the bill over to him and placed it on the top of the table.
Somehow feeling a bit reassured by his words, when Kylian took a glance at the bill, his jaw dropped from the shock. His ocean eyes rolled big and holding a gaze of disbelief at the piece of paper, he almost shrieked out, "1050 dollars? I didn’t even get to eat anything properly...so how could the bill accumulate so much? I...I think they must’ve mistakenly calculated all the bill in my share—"
"Oh, no. The bill was 2500$ and we four have paid our shares. Since you had ordered quite a large amount of food, so, the bill piled up more for you." Stephan addressed very calmly as if seeing those crazy big figures printed on the bill was nothing much for him.
But the situation was the opposite for Kylian.
Before he left for Westport, Marita had made sure to tuck some pocket money for his small expenses which Kylian had thought more than enough for him to last for at least a few months before he would try searching for some part-time gig. But now, looking at the crazy big amount, Kylian had quickly realized that if this went on...he wouldn’t have any money left here anymore and would end up broke.
