“Hello?”

“Are you free tonight? Care to have dinner with me?”

Ronan’s all-too-chipper voice sounded through the phone. He was always in a jolly good mood and not having a worry in the world.

 

“I—”

I was not in the mood to meet Ronan when I was troubled with the thought of Michael having dinner with another woman. After a glance at Michael’s office, I decided to tell Ronan that I was not interested in having dinner with him. But before I could turn him down, Ronan’s voice came through the phone.

 

“You’ve turned me down countless times. Are you going to do it again today? It’s not nice of you to keep rejecting me, you know?”

Ronan sounded rather aggrieved on the phone.

If I were to turn him down again, then I would be rather unkind towards him. Although I didn’t quite agree with Ronan’s frivolous ways, he was the one who took care of me when I was hospitalized. I knew deep down he was a good person.

“All right. I’m getting off work now and heading home. I’ll change my clothes first before calling you.”

In the end, I finally agreed to meet up with Ronan. Apart from his frivolity, he didn’t seem to have any other shortcomings.

“All right. I’ll wait for your call.”

On the other end of the phone, Ronan sounded rather excited.

I hung up and cast a glance again at Michael’s office. I didn’t want to meet up with Ronan initially, but I didn’t want to stay home and wait for Michael to return from his dinner date with another woman either. I would be better off having a nice dinner with a handsome man as my companion, although Ronan was like a brother to me.
