Chapter 291 - BOYS NIGHT OUT (1/2)

Walking to the counter, he passed the cashier who he used to saw every morning since he started working here

”Good morning!”

Aiden greeted her with a warm smile.

But instead of giving Aiden a glance or at least a smile, the cashier did not even bat an eye and wet on what she always does.

That is to ignore Aiden.

Just like what she always does whenever Aiden walks past her and greeted her every morning in the past couple of months.

Aiden expected that reaction though.

To be honest, it would even come as a surprise to him if the other party greeted him back.

That might be a sign that the end of the world is coming!

No one wants to speak and make friends with a nerd and countryside bumpkin like him.

But so what??? Why bother??

Huh! Who cares? I can leave on my on...

Walking to his station, Aiden saw someone out of the corner of his eye.

”Aye??? Look who is here! Mr. Nerdy why so early?? What's up?”

While Aiden was busy wearing his apron, a voice sounds out.

Lifting his head, he sees a young man gazing at him with a smiling face. His face didn't have a hint of warmth and instead, he emits the feeling of a fake smile.

”Oh, hi Clark. Good morning”

Aiden flash him a simple smile and tried to inject some enthusiasm into his voice

Aiden, of course, recognizes him.

Clark's full name is Clarkson Kent.

He started working in Star Barracks at the same time as he is.

He is just like that typical kind of looser that loves to compare himself to others and bully them if he can and make use of it as a tool to inflate his ego.

Aiden always tries to avoid him like the bubonic plague. But like the bubonic plague, he was also hard to avoid.

Aiden kept his eyes glued somewhere else as he busied himself preparing to his station and making sure that he was wearing his apron nicely.

But Clark still noticed him.

”Hey Nerd, come here and join us!”

Clark yelled as if he was the boss.

Apparently he had this habit of calling other people by his self-made pseudonyms.

Before Aiden could even react, Clark had already approached him and suddenly looped his arm around his neck.

”Join us later on our boys' night out. This is going to be so much fun”

Clark chirped with a fake sincerity and started pulling Aiden towards his table like a predator dragging its prey back to its lair.

Left with no choice, Aiden relented and followed him.

Since it was still early to start in the morning, Star Barracks is not yet open to business for that day.

That is why Clark and his other workmates still had time to fool around and discussed among themselves about their 'boys night out' later that night.

On normal occasions, they barely notice and talked to him. But today, they seemed to be a lot friendlier.

This definitely means that they were either up to no good or there is something that they need from him.

”Hi guys, Good morning..”

Aiden tried greeting them and nervously took a seat among them.

At that time, Aiden can't help but felt like he was a foreigner entering a hostile country on a day ass.

It was Joey who first breaks the ice as he attempted to make a conversation with Aiden.

”So Aiden, do you have any Halloween plans for the night?”

Ohh?? It is Halloween??? I completely forget that it was.

When Aiden was reminded about the date, he just blinked an eye. But of course, he did not voice out what he was thinking.
