"Humph. Don't go around underestimating other people's dreams just because you attained yours." Riley said while gring at Brian.

  "Don't go around thinking you understand me because you don't! Humph," Bryan looked at Riley and returned her gre because this isn't the first time she's interrupting the flow of his conversation with Shawn, "My dream is to protect the people I love or want to keep close in my life and to take care of them, which is why I'd do my very best to help them live happily and comfortably."

  Riley frowned once she saw Linnet gre at her and mumbled : "Big talk." Before releasing Shawn's waist and correcting her sitting posture to allow him direct access to her mouth and that way he can feed her while getting rewarded by the sight of her cleavage in the background.

  Shawn pierced a tiny meatball with his fork and dipped it in sauce then offered it to Riley who smiled once she saw his eyes falling on her chest, "You've been living in the same neighborhood with me for years now and you've always seemed like you're barely getting by like the rest of us but... now you have all of this," Shawn said while looking towards Bryan to distract himself from the scene he just saw, "You have so many expensive cars, so many drivers and bodyguards, you've bought a whole building a few blocks away from my store at the riverbank... Are you some kind of long lost family member to some insanely rich old guy who found you while being at deathbed then handed you his legacy and made you receive his inheritance?"

  *Snort*

  *Tsk*

  "Why wouldn't it be some insanely rich old dy?"

  "Can't it be some kind great-grandma instead?"

  Celest and Linnet retorted before realizing they both had the same intention behind their words which caused them to exchange a look before ughing, seeing Riley being so protective of this Shawn while giving them threatening looks as if saying : "Don't you dare bully my date!" only added to their amusement.

  But they quickly ignored this silly girl and focused on repaying their boyfriend with the same gesture by feeding him this time.

  Bryan opened his mouth to eat what Celest and Linnet offered him and chewed slowly while intentionally withholding and deying the answer for Shawn's question because this isn't the right pce to speak about these matters, "Remember my promise, the only thing standing between you and having your own farm is a simple gesture with your hand." Bryan said then added : "Of course that option doesn't require any societal attachments to me or anyone else, you can treat it as a professional business opportunity which fell on your p and the only way to make good use of it is by working hard to include every single aspect of your big dream into it to make it collectively work in your favor."

  Shawn nodded because Bryan told him yesterday that he can make a simple hand gesture and excuse himself to leave because he still has to work a shift in the store if he doesn't like Riley and Bryan would still compensate him by financing his dream project, now he understands that this choice means that he welcomes the business opportunity but the idea of having to get to know Brian and the people around him isn't welcomed.

  "Nah... I hear the afterparty at the hotel would be sick!" Shawn said while acting like he's going to feed Riley only to redirect the course of the fork towards his own mouth instead.

  "Bffft..."

  "Hahaha..."

  Celest and Linnet ughed once they saw Riley sitting there in Shawn's embrace with her mouth wide open and her eyes closed shut waiting for something which never came!

  "Good choice Shawn," Bryan nodded then accepted his food from the two loving dies in his embrace while smiling smugly towards Riley who was gring at him, "The only pce you'd get all your answers was at the afterparty, of course I was going to tell you about my pns to have young Olivia wake up from her coma."

  Shawn's actions of patting and massaging Riley's back to calm her and coax her after pying a harmless prank on her paused when he heard what Bryan just said, "You better not be joking right now because this isn't going to be "funny" if you're!"

  "Halt!" Bryan said while looking towards Nikki who was about to make a move to subdue Shawn from behind who dared to threaten her employer in front of everyone while she and Sky are standing a few meters away!

  Sky who was standing behind Bryan and his girlfriends was shocked after discovering that she really can't move her body forward at all once her employer held her shoulder which prevented her from reaching Shawn.

  Shawn on the other hand who was shocked by the sudden aggressiveness from the dy in the suit standing next to Bryan, once he looked back he was frightened by the other woman in a suit who suddenly appeared less than a meter and within an arm-reach of his body without making a sound.

  'What the fuck was she trying to do?' Shawn thought while feeling his balls shrivel and shrink inwardly before looking towards Bryan.

  "You two should go back to your station and stop intervening in this conversation between Shawn and me." Bryan let go of Sky's shoulder and she winced from pain once he did before quickly resuming her bnk expression after moving it a few times.

  "Yes sir." Both of them nodded and returned to stand near the walls and quickly their presence started to fade which is another skill they both had, but the waiters who were serving the food or clearing the table from excess or empty ptes realized that most of the time they've been working on serving these two young men and three beauties they've been forgetting about the other two women standing right next to them!

  This realization frightened the waiters so much they didn't dare let their eyes roam freely on the beauties anymore.

  Shawn on the other hand felt a cold shiver on his spine once his eyes met Sky's and she gave him an imperceptible smile before looking away while her eyes shined within the dark with a dangerous glint that made him unconsciously react by hugging Riley tighter.

  Bryan shook his head once he noticed how Shawn was clearly rattled after what just happened, "Instead of just talking about making something happen... wouldn't it better to prove it with actions instead?"

  "Indeed." Shawn nodded then added : "But how are you going to do that?"

  "I've asked for an audience with an expert and the date hasn't been set yet but, once everything is in order I'll do everything in my power and harness every resource possible on this pnet to have young Olivia return to uncle Sam and auntie Samantha's embrace... That way she can continue being a sweet headache in their lives. One that never stops asking for answers to every question no one dares to ever have!" Bryan said then allowed Celest to wipe the corner of his mouth with the napkin before giving her a kiss on the cheek which caused her to giggle despite being shy and blushing hard after getting kissed in front of everyone.

  *Humph*

  Linnet puckered her lips cutely once she saw that which caused Celest to push Bryan towards her and he rewarded his other girlfriend with the same treatment!

  Shawn watched their amorous exchanges in silence while thinking about what Bryan just said.

  Riley panicked once she saw Shawn stare at her best friend while Linnet and Celest kissed and teased their boyfriend, then to fix that problem she used one hand to circle Shawn's neck and the other to pull his prominent jawline by the cheek to force Shawn to look towards her then Riley sealed his lips which caused Shawn to tense and stare at her for a short while while being at a complete loss on what to do in this situation.

  However, quickly afterwards Shawn reciprocated and answered Riley's advances with some of his own but she was clearly a lot more experienced than him which is why he closed his eyes and focused on enjoying the moment instead of trying to compete with this beauty on who's going to catch who's lips and tongue!

  Bryan, Celest, and Linnet were surprised in the beginning when Riley took the initiative then happy when Shawn accepted her invitation but once they started taking things too far and their seductive kiss got too prolonged for everybody's comfort while their hands started to roam everywhere with lust-filled intentions... someone had to put an end to this circus.

  "Get a room." Bryan said after covering Celest and Linnet's eyes but they still wanted to see which is why they parted his fingers because they wanted to learn some of these useful techniques.

  "Bryan you bastard! What's your problem?" Riley finally decided she had enough after getting interrupted in the most critical phase.

  But Riley wasn't aware that her short dress was a mess and her underwear was visible to everyone once her dress got pulled up when Shawn's hands were reaching for some of the good stuff, her makeup was a mess after getting all hot and sweaty between Shawn's arms and sticking close to his chest, her hair was a mess after the previous experience shambled her locks and left them chaotic and disorderly.

  Nikki and Sky acted like they didn't see or hear anything but inwardly they were amused by the exchanges between their employer and this wild, bold, and untamed young girl.

  The waiters were sweating bullets because everything that happened was happening inside their restaurant and anyone could see what just happened from the street because of the prominent location of this table! Had this girl continued making advances on this lucky fellow they would've been forced to say something about it even is these two female bodyguards didn't like it.

  Thankfully the other young man who's much luckier since he's dating two girls at once intervened and stopped them in their tracks.

  "Do you see these people over there in the street?" Bryan looked through the window, "I bet you're wondering why these perverts are looking when you two are just kissing but... they're actually wondering why is that pervert fshing her underwear for all of us to see!"

  "Ah! Fuck! Why didn't you two say anything?" Riley tugged at her short dress then gred at Celest and Linnet but both girls had already folded Bryan's fingers back to normal long ago which gave them reasonable expnation.

  Shawn blushed but everyone could see it in his eyes... This smug son of bitch is so proud of himself after this girl was all over him just earlier!
