Nuts and Bolts
Glancing at the watch, Ivan remarked, "It's almost one, we should leave."
"Yeah, even I have work tomorrow," Athan agreed.
As the two of them were about to leave, someone suddenly sat on the empty chair in between them.
"Are you both leaving without meeting me?" Tapping his fingers on the table, Jason added, "You guys were the one who invited me."
"You are five hours late," Ivan snapped.
Shrugging his shoulders, Jason defended himself. "Unlike you, some people need to work hard to earn a decent living. Not everyone is swimming in a pool of money like you. Am I right, Athan?"
"I couldn't agree more." Giving Jason a hug, Athan greeted him. "It's good to see you again man." He then took his seat again, completely eradicating the plan of going home.
Looking at Ivan who was still standing, Jason asked, "You want to go home?" Without waiting for his reply, he added, "It's okay if you want to leave, I'll just hang out with Athan for a while."
