Chapter 35: Babysitter
On the top floor of an exclusive hotel, two men were seated quietly in a very luxurious private room. One slowly sipping his wine staring down at the city below like a mighty king and the other shipping through his phone with an unhappy expression all over his face.
The former swiping through his phone was Geal - the CEO of the top entertainment company signing endorsement deals with all A-listers.
"You have been acting off lately," Geal complained as he straightened up in his seat, discarding his phone on the small coffee table beside his seat, and picked up the glass of whiskey on the seat.
Nicklaus straightened his legs, "On?"
"Why did you not pick any of the ladies I sent in for you?" Geal asked as he drank from the glass in small a portion.
"I just got married," Nicklaus deadpanned with a puff.
*Cough* Geal splatters all of his whiskey in his mouth harshly along with a cough and immediately, he patted his chest to calm down also cleaning his suit shirt in the process.
"Is this some kind of joke?" Geal’s whole attention was now on Nicklaus as he dropped his glass back on the small table and leaned on his chair as if Nicklaus coming expression was a precious scene he can’t afford to miss.
"Do I look like a joke to you?" Nicklaus asked and Geal used everything in him not to clap his both hands due to excitement. Finally, the always calm and collected Nicklaus gave him an expression beside an aloof and nonchalant look.
And that is the thing - Geal thought. Nicklaus isn’t one with the luxurious time to joke around so he never does that and is always straight to the point but this.. this, better be a joke.
"Wow! So, what kind of lovely queen agreed to get married to this non-fun and iced gloomy individual?" he asked with an innocent voice as if he was just a curious bird as his mood on the news suddenly changed to happiness.
