Brian Bell was taken aback; he hadn't expected William to admit things so openly.
"Young man, quite honest," Brian Bell commented, slightly taken aback, then chuckled, "Or is it that you never intended to help Bella deceive me in the first place?"
William tilted his head slightly and replied calmly, "You're referring to pretending to be Bella's boyfriend?"
"What else would she invite you for dinner for?" Brian's tone softened, "You must realize I'm not that easily fooled. Weren't you let go from the bar? I could offer you a job."
Without hesitation, William responded, "No need. The job Bella offered me is quite good."
A thousand dollars for just a dinner? Where would one find such a job? William had never come across such a good deal in all his years.
Bella was now genuinely wishing she could strangle William.
Was he an idiot?
