Hirvan waited for a while before realizing something was wrong. Instead of displaying anger, Andrew's reaction was being silent and then depressing and sad.
' Hello?! Why are you so calm? Who was the one who broke that boy's arm at a wedding for just a simple touch on his shoulder? What happened in the past two months? Why everyone is different from before?'
Hirvan's mind was filled with shouting and he wished he could shake the icy man in front of him to get an explanation.
" Hirvan, what are you doing?"
Alec's breathless voice broke the stalemate between them. Running to the rooftop, Alec had been cursing all the ancestors of Hirvan's family.
Hirvan had never thought that hearing the stinking voice of that brat would bring him this much joy. He leapt into Alec's arms like a child and spoke.
" Where were you? I was lost! My phone was dead, and I was scared I couldn't find you."
Hirvan lied without batting an eye. He had put his phone in flight mode, hiding from the original body's mother.
' Just get me out of here! I was crept out by this man's dead-fish eyes.'
During the ten years of working together, Hirvan could never have adapted to the cold and dead aura of Andrew. Although he made an effort to become more casual and friendly with him, it failed and increased the gap between them even more!
Whenever he inquired about Andrew's opinion, the man would either ignore him or simply make a sound of agreement with him. It was incredibly frustrating. Hirvan resolved to give up on this robotic man and move forward with his life.
Alec exerted his entire willpower not to toss the sticky boy to the ground in front of the Grim Reaper. He was aware that if he was to survive this catastrophic encounter, he would need to avoid revealing his dissatisfaction with the boy to the man.
Because it was a fact that Andrew absolutely hated people who bullied teenage boys in front of him. There was a great deal of speculation about the cause. Some claimed that it was related to the two sons of the leader. When Andrew joined the gang, the two golden boys were in their teens and constantly were threatened or kidnapped by the rivals of the gang. Others claimed that it was due to his personal experience during his teenage years. He would be stimulated when he came into contact with this type of thing. What was funnier was if you touched the Grim Reaper, it didn't matter whether you were young or old, the result was a heavy beating! Talk about the double standard!
Anyway, Alec could just suck it up and let the boy do what he wanted.
This was a pit that his mother had dug for him this afternoon. Not being able to release his anger on his mother or the culprit in his arms had given him a bad taste in his mouth. He swallowed his grievance and said to the boy.
"Come on, let's go. There is someone who wants to see you."
Hirvan complied enthusiastically and followed Alec, abandoning the stone-cold man.
Throughout their interaction, Andrew remained silent while gazing at them. He was not offended by Alec's dismissal behaviour. His past actions towards the people in or out of the organization have made everyone terrified of him. Their stammering greeting, cowardly not looking in his eyes, or shivering bodies upon seeing him was like a knife digging into his bleeding heart. So, he suggested to the leader that there was no need to pay attention to him and that everyone should just ignore him. Following that, there were only a handful of individuals within the organization who acknowledged him.
Sadly, the most significant of them passed away two months ago.
Andrew blinked and stopped to follow the boy's silhouette in the crowd. It was not the time to feel sentimental. He had to protect the Leader's legacy with every ounce of his strength. Those disgusting tigers and sharks were waiting to swallow them up.
After passing the catastrophic event, Hirvan was happily browsing his surroundings. On the rooftop, he had decided to stop actively seeking his sons or friends. The agony of being a stranger to them was beyond his tolerance. Maybe God felt pity for him and gave him a second chance to enjoy life and do what he wanted in this life.
In the past, the burden of guilt had crushed him and made his life miserable.
Hirvan halted his wandering thoughts not to remember those agonizing memories.
Although he owned the club, he didn't have the time or energy to enjoy the nightclub lifestyle.
'Would it be a bad idea to swing my waist while flirting with others on the dance floor? '
Hirvan was pondering whether to join the intoxicated and sexy young people or not when he hit a muscular wall. He touched his painful nose and whined.
" Big brother Alec, why did you suddenly stop?"
Even he felt cringe speaking like that. However, he had no other choice but to act like a spoiled boy. Otherwise, it would arouse suspicion.
" You have the nerve to ask? Did you have a slight idea how dangerous it was when you were flirting with that man? Do you know who he is? If I had not found you at that moment, your body would be floating in the Red Sea while the seagulls and sharks had a feast on it!!!"
Alec exploded from the suppressed anger in his belly.
His work has made it difficult for him to communicate with Hirvan, leading to a significant drop in their contact over the past few years. However, he had heard all his tales of past deeds. The constant change of boyfriends and the constant interaction with the wealthy second generation in an attempt to obtain benefits had long disgusted him. The crazy part was that all of that happened during his high school years. He was not even an adult! Imagine how terrifying he would be in the future!
Hirvan acted stupidly shameless.
" Who was he? Besides, it was he who approached me for a lighter! I didn't do anything wrong!"
Alec didn't believe his nonsense, not even a single word. The Grim Reaper had started a conversation with a stranger. Are you kidding me? Throughout four years working with the company, he never heard that man utter a word to others, even with the two brothers!
" You can save your breath. I don't care about the reason. This is the last warning. When we go in the room, you better behave yourself. Don't talk! Don't look! Just sit like a doll! Or I won't let you see the sun tomorrow!"
Alec stared at the boy sternly, waiting for his response.
" Okay. I promise."
Hirvan cast his gloomy eyes down and nodded. But deep down he was berating Alec.
' This stinky guy became more brazen than ever! Where is the shy and cute boy? What a pity, if it was before, I would teach him a lesson not to act like a fierce overpower lord!'
Hirvan followed the angry Alec to a private room.
' Oh, isn't it the room the youngsters liked to gather and play? Alec, my angel! Thank you!'
He was a little excited to see his sons and their friends closely. Even though he said he wouldn't seek them actively, his desire to be near them was still strong.
