Michelle asked permission to leave the club for a moment. She would just come back again before two This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
o'clock in the afternoon. She walked and chatted with Leon for a long time, almost forgetting about the
passing hours. By the time she realized she had to go back, she knew that taking the subway now
would be a bad idea. She decided to take a taxi instead.
As she was about to hail one, a black car stopped in front of her. It looked so high-end that she was
sure that its fare wouldn't be cheap at all.
"Mimi." Colby's cheery voice came right out of the car.
'It's him and this car again.' Leon frowned.
Michelle seemed surprised. "Colby? What a coincidence!"
"This is no coincidence, Michelle. I'm here to pick you up." Colby got out of the car and walked around
it. He greeted Leon politely, and then smiled warmly at Michelle. "You're going back to the club, right?
Let me drive you there."
"Are you going there, too?" Michelle asked in confusion.
"Yes, I'll drive you there." Colby opened the door to the front passenger seat and tilted his head at her,
indicating that she should get in the car.
Opening her mouth, Michelle was about to say something, but then Leon pulled her behind him and
smiled. "There's no need for you to drive her there. I will accompany her myself."
"Really, Leon? Are you going to accompany me back to the club?" Michelle was happy to learn that she
could stay a little longer with Leon. "Thank you for your offer, Colby, but I can just take a taxi with
Leon."
"Oh, it's no trouble for me. I'm actually going there to look for Austin. It would a waste of money if you
take a taxi with Leon. My car is a better option. Leon, actually you don't have to accompany Michelle if
you trust me," Colby said.
"No, I don't trust you. She's still young. She can easily be deceived," Leon said in a flat tone.
Colby smiled awkwardly, looking quite embarrassed. "Then why not join us then, Leon? Come on,
Mimi. Get in the car."
The door to the front passenger seat was still open. It was obviously for Michelle, but Leon quickly went
in first.
Colby was stunned.
"Sit in the back seat, Michelle." Leon had begun fastening his seat belt as if nothing had happened.
"Okay," Michelle said sweetly.
Michelle opened the car door at the back and got in. Colby found himself a bit disappointed by the turn
of events, but he didn't let that flag down his confidence. He smiled instead and closed the door for
Leon.
Once the car was back on the road, Leon spoke again. "Colby, what did you just call Michelle?"
"Mimi." Even though Leon had already threatened him last time, Colby was still brave enough to call
her like that. "She allowed me to call her Mimi. I'm used to addressing her in this way, and I don't plan
on changing it any time soon. Is that okay, Mimi?"
Colby leaned back in his seat, hoping to get closer to Michelle in this way.
Leon glanced at Michelle. 'Refuse him!' he prayed inwardly.
But as luck would have it, things often went against his wishes. As sunny as ever, Michelle said, "It's
alright with me."
"I see, Mimi." Colby drummed his fingers on the steering wheel. He didn't bother hiding the deepening
smile on his face.
This created a funny scene inside the car where one man was cheerful while the other was grumpy.
Leon's face darkened as he looked out of the window. He didn't bother saying anything else anymore.
"Mimi, you and Austin are friends, right? I actually grew up with him, so we are also friends. Is your
birthday coming soon?" Colby asked while driving.
"Yes. How do you know that? Did Austin tell you?" Michelle asked in surprise.
"Yes." Actually, he tricked Austin into telling him the truth. Austin had been secretly preparing for her
birthday party.
Colby said with a smile, "We are friends now, so I also have a birthday present for you. I think you will
like it."
"A gift? What is it?" Of course, every girl wanted to receive gifts on her birthday. Michelle was no
exception to this.
Upon noticing her interest, Colby refused to tell her more about the gift. "Guess. I want it to be a
surprise for you. If I tell you now, it will defeat its whole purpose."
"Okay. Thank you anyway." Michelle grinned.
"You're welcome. We are friends, after all. By the way, I've heard from Austin that you don't have a
boyfriend yet. Do you want me to introduce you to someone nice?" There was something brisk in
Colby's tone as he said this.
Leon, who had been silent the whole time, frowned once more.
"What? Why does everyone want to introduce me to someone?" Michelle was stunned by Colby's offer.
"What?" The two men spoke in unison. Colby added, "Who else wanted to introduce you to someone?"
Leon was also quite curious about this, so he turned his head to look at Michelle.
His eyes were as gentle as ever, but this image of gentleness was just a facade to cover up his true
emotions.
Nonetheless, Michelle began to shy away from his gaze. She pursed her lips and remained innocently
silent. After a while, she murmured, "My friends said the same thing, but I declined their offers."
This time, Leon turned to stare straight ahead of him.
"Why did you decline their offers? Don't you want to find a boyfriend? Or maybe it's because nobody
has caught your eyes yet. Don't worry. I can introduce you to someone good," Colby said.
"What?" It was then that Michelle found her eyes straying towards Leon. But his face was turned away
from her. "Who do you plan to introduce to me?"
"Me, of course." Colby exuded confidence as he recommended himself.
Michelle was stunned by this. "Aren't we supposed to be friends?"
"A boyfriend is also a friend." Colby wasn't planning on expressing his love in the car. He wasn't
prepared at all. But upon hearing what Michelle said, he realized he had to make his move now.
"What do you think of me, Michelle?" Colby smiled, raising his eyebrows. He sounded so casual about
it that Michelle wasn't sure if he was joking.
She hesitated for a bit before answering him frankly, "Well, you're not as good-looking as Leon."
Her bluntness was like a stab at the gut for Colby. Nonetheless, it was true anyway. The first time he
saw Leon, he was awestruck by the other man's beauty. Leon didn't even look like a man. He had
almost delicate and feminine features that could attract both men and women.
If Colby had such a face, he would probably be thousands times richer than he was now.
"Michelle is still young. It's too early for her to fall in love now. Please refrain from making the same
joke in the future. Her ideal type in men is me." Leon finally stopped sulking upon hearing Michelle's
words. Her voice was like a ray of light piercing through the dark clouds hanging over his head.
Michelle nodded her head and said, "Yes. I want my boyfriend to be like Leon."
Back then, she used to say that she wanted to find a good-looking boyfriend like Leon. But lately, she
had begun dropping the word "good-looking." In fact, she didn't care about appearance as long as it
was Leon.
But then, there was only one Leon in the world. After all, everyone was unique in their own ways.
As her mind began to wander, Michelle looked out of the window. Her lips curling down to a frown,
making her look a bit melancholic.
Colby was rendered speechless after the entire conversation. Sure enough, his hastiness didn't bring
any success at all.
He was too impatient. He should have waited before expressing his love for her.
"I was just kidding."
"Well, don't do it again." Leon was quick enough to stop Colby from letting his feelings for Michelle
show.
Colby opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
He just couldn't understand why Leon kept scaring away any of Michelle's admirers.
