Some diners, who were seated close to the two handsome gentlemen were taken aback by Richmond's sudden reaction.
"Calm down, bruh. Relax! There is no need to lose your temper. I'm sorry for upsetting you.." Ian raised his two hands in the air as a sign of surrender and peace.
"You better choose your words carefully or you might regret them if you utter anything stupid." Richmond glowered at Ian, ignoring those staring at him. "I not your bruh, neither am I your friend. Keep Lizzy out of that repulsive tongue of yours. You are not permitted to say her name."
"Fine! I won't!" Ian was happy to get a reaction from Richmond that did not involve his fist. "I won't mention her name again if that is what it takes to obtain your forgiveness."
Richmond clenched his fist to stifle the storm swirling inside of him. He was about to stand up when a professionally appareled waiter approached him.
"Sir, may I take your order?" The waiter asked politely.
