Chapter 22: Happiest Man
[Hello?]
"Ellie, what kind of fruit juice does Cammy like?" Ric asked urgently as soon as Ellie answered her phone.
[Why is it so noisy there, and why are you out of breath?] Ellie asked, puzzled.
"I’m on my way to the convenience store to pick up some soju. It’s her favorite," Ric explained.
[Wait... What? You two are drinking together? Just the two of you, at her place?] Ellie’s confusion deepened, [What’s going on? Cammy never drinks alone with a guy in private.]
Ric smirked mischievously at Ellie’s words. "Really? Hmm... I am making progress then... There’s nothing to worry about. We’re just celebrating finishing her apartment painting in record time. I promise not to get her drunk."
[You better not do anything stupid to my friend, or I swear I’ll kill you!]
Ric chuckled, "Don’t worry, I get it. I’m just planning to make some cocktails. So, what kind of juice does she like?"

After buying everything he needed, Ric quickly returned to Cammy’s apartment and was surprised by what he saw.
"Wow, you clean up fast," Ric remarked.
