"I never thought that you, Leonard, would have become so successful and prestigious that you could stoop to drink with us lowly workers without any cheating..."
Leonard Reid picked up a bottle of mineral water and chugalugged half of it, then grabbed a tissue to wipe the sweat off his face, smiling as he said, "I didn't lie. I really like hanging out at these food stalls and having late-night snacks, especially when it's crowded and lively. The problem is that times change. Even if they were good friends of the past, they now become awkward and restrained when drinking with me, and it's not as straightforward as before. Over time, I've stopped asking them out for drinks. It's awkward for them, and I'm uncomfortable too."
