Chapter 88 - Wicked Plan (2/2)

” Nah! I don't have time for that. I'm already busy with college and the office. Dating someone will be a waste of time.”

” Okay. I see you're also a vɨrġɨn.”

” Please! Don't even lump me with him. I have lost my v-card when I was seventeen.” With arrogance, Neil replied.

” So you had a girlfriend-”

” No. I did it with my math teacher.”

” Holy fuċk! Are you for real?” I jumped up in surprise. That was unexpected. I even almost choked upon hearing it.

” Told you I'm not like Ray.” A smirk appeared on Neil's face.

” Leave it, Theo. He's only interested in hookups.” Ray replied, being annoyed by Neil's comments.

” Hey Neil, what type of girls you like?” As his brother-in-law, I thought I should ask him about this kinda stuffs.

” Type of girls? Hmm.... someone like my sis?”

” What the fuċk! Do you have a sister complex or something?” Poor Ray couldn't keep calm and screamed right next to my ear. My eardrums are probably broken now.

” Chill your tɨts-” Neil tried to give another of his sarcastic lines but got stopped midway.

” Well, I don't have tɨts!” Ray replied.

” Ugh! What I mean... someone who's nice and kind like my sis.”  Neil was drunk. But his feelings were understandable. At least to me. That's why I poked into the conversation to clarify what he meant.

” I heard boys tend to search for their mother's traits on their spouse. Where else girls tend to search for their father's traits on their spouse. Then there's you, who wants to look for his sister's traits on his partner. Very impressive indeed.”  It wasn't too sarcastic or too offending. The idea was to provoke him a little so that he can express his true thoughts underneath his heart.

” Managing my study and work is stressful. But I haven't given up on my dreams. My college friends, they think that being the future heir of the company is a dream job. They have no idea how much pressure I'm having. For fuċk's sake! it's not cool at all. I want to quit.” Neil became serious that time. He was looking upset and deeply agitated with his position.

” What's your dream then?”

” Game developer.”

” Oh, that's nice. Why didn't you tried for it?”

” Back then, my dad made me realize that I have to take care of his property and business. If I don't, our family will lose all the fortune. That's why the sense of responsibility continued.”

” That's wrong! You can apply for that stream.”

” Relax. I have been taking classes for it. When my college ends I'll get into a good foundation. But the company is my main priority now. Once it settles down for good, I can focus on my gaming career.”

” Yes. That's good. Besides you have me also. I'll invest in your projects.”

” And I'll help you to promote it.” Ray added too.

” Hmm. Thanks for that guys.”

” We should go to sleep now.” As Ray reminded us about the time, we stood up and went inside to our rooms.
