After paying for what they had bought, Henry got into the car with Hunter beside him.

"I have not had enough fun, what about drinking somewhere?" Hunter asked, winking at someone Henry didn't see. It must be a woman outside the car. They had the same habit of having a lot of women around them.

"That sounds nice too. If we are going to be free" Henry would not risk another person seeing him without a guard.

"When was the last time you went out alone?" Hunter asked out of the blue.

"It had been a while. I doubt I have done it since two years"

"Henry, you know the feeling of having a lot of women around you? You remember?"

"Oh, that! It is fun when they try to tell you how much they love you and the next thing you tell them is to get out of your sight" Henry laughed.

"I don't tell them. I play them, make sure I go on a date with one of the friends and cause a fight between them. They end up yelling at themselves, making the situation more interesting. I look forward to seeing the same tonight" Hunter put his hands out of the window, the other in the steering wheel.

"I don't think that is the best thing for your health. You are supposed to get a lot of sleep before thinking about things like this" Henry said, concerned.

"I blame myself for telling you how I feel. I hate that pitying look on your face" Hunter hit his fist on the window, causing under his breath.

"You are all I have got, losing you at this moment is the worst thing that will ever happen to me. I can't think of life without you" Henry meant every word he had said. Hunter was the only one he looked up to in time when he needed help.

"I am not dying anytime soon. I am okay. I don't want you to ruin this moment. Just pretend everything is okay and we are celebrating your success" Hunter beamed a smile at Henry.

"I still have a lot of things to tell you, I hope you don't leave the questions in my heart. I wish to tell you a lot of things" Henry said thoughtfully.

Stolen novel; please report.

"Like? How to make someone head over heels for you?" Hunter asked tauntingly.

"Or how to make myself the boss over anyone I employ" Henry played along with mock seriousness.

"There is always one person you will not be able to control. I am damn sure you are going to meet her soon" Hunter made a tsk tsk sound.

"Her? If you had said " him" it would have been better. No "her" can control me" as far as he was concerned, Henry knew he would not allow any woman to win his heart. Not yet.

"Here we are" Hunter stopped the car in front of a bar.

"How come people are not here? There used to be a lot of people here every time I pass but" Henry said in disbelief. It was the first place he first tasted alcoholic beverages. Under the guard of Hunter. He drank to spur that day that he didn't remember how he got home.

"There are a lot of things you don't know. I should teach you this, it might help you when you fall in love" Hunter smiled.

"You keep mentioning this, I have no choice other than to continue telling you " love" is the last thing that will ever happen to me" Henry touched his chest playfully.

"Too bold" Hunter gave him a disapproving look.

"You seem to me like someone who is really serious about a woman. Do you have someone that I don't know about?" Henry asked curiously.

"I wish I had. You are receiving first person who would see her if I have"

"And what about me? If I change my mind at the end of the day and get someone I will love to spend the rest of my life with, will you be the first person to see her?" Although Henry knew that was almost impossible, he tried to imagine it,but it made no sense to him.

Hunter paused, gazing into the space, his hands still on the wheel.

"Is that too much of a question? You don't have to answer it if you don't want to" Henry would not take no for an answer, he would rather not hear a reply from Hunter than hear a negative response.

"I rented this place so that we will be able to have enough time to discuss important things" Hunter said at last, looking at him.

"I should have known!"

"About your question…." Hunter started to say when Henry coughed to stop Hunter from continuing what he wanted to say.

"We should get out now, Leila will be worried if she doesn't see me at home. I sneaked out of the house" Henry opened the door to get out first. Hunter should keep the answer to himself. He really wants to enjoy the moment first before anything else.

"Are you a kid? She should not monitor you around. Or maybe you are really a kid, the way you handle things can only be related to a kid's way" Hunter laughed as he also got out of the car.

"I am still a kid, no one other than you should hear about this" Henry signaled Hunter to keep quiet, the two laughed before walking into the bar. The attendant at the door closed it after them, replacing the "opened" banner with the "closed" one.

"Get ready, he already got out of the car, '' Tuy said into the phone, trying to be as quiet as possible.

"Remember all you have to do is to scare him, nothing else. No one must die" the voice at the other end warned sternly.

"I get that" Tuy ended the call and got ready to go out. He has to be careful so that Henry will not notice him before they do what they want to do.

He took off his seat belt and waited. He watched them walk into the bar before getting down from the car and cunningly walking around the bar as if he was in search of something.

He held tightly to the gun in his hand, trying to be as calm as possible. Anyone seeing him would realize he was a novice in whatever he had planned to do with the gun in his hand.
