Ethan Go was left speechless for the first time. The woman did not hold back on her acidic replies and indignantly walked out, leaving behind the staccato of her heels. There was silence for a moment before laughter broke out again.
" Hey buddy, you might want to stand up now. She's already gone, hehe." his best friend, Xander Ji held out his hand to help him up.
"Ahoy Ethan! Seems like you are losing your charm. Arrogant prick hahahahaha," Old man Jim, the town's florist also gave him a good heckling.
Ethan was a little annoyed by the woman. He expected her to fall for his ploy but she did not.
"Ms. Prissy Pants is just playing hard to get. Afterall, who can resist my charm?" he countered confidently after getting up.
"You're just annoyed that after she admired you a bit, she totally ignored you! Hahahaha...now I have something new to call you buddy. SLUT! hahaha"
"The lady is not local though. Judging by her clothes and manner, she's a city girl through and through. I wonder why she came here. Maybe she' a guest of one of the residents.," the old man replied.
"We'll see her around if she stays here. Seems like that town is going to have some excitement eh?" Xander muttered while still holding his laughter.
"Cut it out man and lets go! We'll arrive late if we don't go too. See you around Old Jim!" Ethan and Xander waved as they turned to go.
If only they had looked back, they would have seen the laughter fade from his eyes to be replaced by a forboding expression.
" Yes, seems like trouble have already arrived in this quiet town." He looked up at the heavens and sadly muttered, " Ying, is this how you wanted it to be?"
