Chapter 396 “U-Um...”

Flynn walked over and said, “Why are you stuttering?! I'll tell the hotel to fire you immediately.”

The security guard recognized him. He fell on his knees at once. “I'm sorry, Mr. Flynn. Please, have mercy on me!”

Flynn didn’t even bat an eye at him. Instead, he looked at the hotel manager and said, “Tell the hotel owner 1’m firing this security guard on his behalf.”

“That’s not necessary, Mr. Flynn. You can fire whoever you sec fit.” The manager said, trying to gain favor with him.

The security guard slumped onto the floor. He had lost his job in the blink of an eye.

“I'm fine, miss. This is just some minor bleeding. I’ve survived worse wounds than this one.” Holding up his cracked bowl, he looked at her with reddened eyes.

“My grandpa’s dying, miss. His last wish is to have some nice food. Can I please have some of your leftovers?”

Turning her head sideways, she looked at the hotel manager. “Prepare several Lakeouts and give it to him. Put it on my tab.”

“Alright. I'll relay your orders to the kitchen right away.”

“T-Thank you, miss! Allow me to get down on my knees to thank you properly.” The young boy was about to knock when she pulled him up.

“You’re a man. You shouldn’t get down on your knee unless it’s an emergency.”

“Okay. Roger that, miss! I'll keep that in mind.”

Avril stepped forward and took her arms. “Let’s go back to our dinner.

The dishes are going cold.”

“Sure.”

“Buzz buzz buzz...” She was getting a phone call.

Tt was Ivor.

“Have you had dinner?”

“Pm in the middle of it. How about you?”

He was somewhat disappointed when he heard her response. “I had just finished my work and was about to invite you for dinner.”

“Oh, you’re welcome to join us. It just so happens that Avril and Flynn are here, too. Flynn almost dropped his utensils at that. A moment later, he raised his voice and looked at her phone fearfully.

“Do you want to talk to him? Sure. I’ll pass him the phone.” She said and handed it over to Flynn.

He looked at the phone the way he would a live grenade.

“H-Hello? Is there anything I can do for you, Ivor?”

“You seem to be quite close to her now. I keep noticing you showing up beside her.”

‘Holy hell...’ Flynn took a sharp breath internally. Then, he had an idea and said hastily, “I’m just worried that someone might kidnap Bonnie.

So, I'm keeping her safe on your behalf.”

“acceptable. Good work, Flynn.” Ivor nodded in approval.

He hadn’t hung up his phone for over a few seconds before Ged dashed into his office.

“Dinner tonight?”

“That’s ano. I’m going to look for her.”

Ged’s lips twitched immediately. ‘Will he give me a break? Did he have to make me fecl bad about being single when he sees me?’

“It looks like things are going well between the two of you. Come on, give me a straight answer.

What have you guys been doing now?”

“We got to first base,” Ivor responded proudly.

“Uh... Damn it! Did it take you this long just to hold her hand? How long will it take before you guys get to home base?!”
