"Jules... you see that? Matheo's watching us!" Evan said in a slightly loud voice while directing his gaze to Matheo who was no longer looking at them.

Jules kicked Evan's leg from under the table. "Can you lower your voice?" The smack.

Evan chuckled. "It can't be about Matheo."Reply Evan.

"Didn't you realize he was watching us because your voices and those of the Anim are so strong that they interfere with his hearing?"

"No. I even did it on purpose." Evan said innocently.

Jules snorted. "I'd rather go to the bathroom first to pee than hear what you say." Jules stood up from his seat.

"bro Lorenzo. I'm going to the bathroom first." Jules said to Lorenzo.

"Okay," Lorenzo replied with a smile.

"Jules..." Evan exclaimed as Jules walked away from their table.

"Never mind. Just let Jules go. We'd better find out about Matheo and his friend's social media accounts now." said Vincent.

"You're right too!" Evan replied with a big smile. Evan immediately opened one of his social media accounts as well as Vincent's.

Lorenzo, who had been watching the two women for a long time, shook his head at how cute Jules' two friends were who liked Matheo and his friend so much.

"They're such a disgrace," Jules grumbled and then washed his face with water. "Sometimes they show their interest in the twelve-door refrigerator. Seriously. It's possible that the refrigerator will get a big head because it's liked by them." Jules keeps cursing the woman who kept an eye on Matheo.

After feeling enough to curse his two friends in front of the mirror, Jules came out of the bathroom. When he just got out of the bathroom, Jules, who was looking at an incoming message on his cellphone, unknowingly bumped into someone so that the cell phone in his hand just fell on the floor.

"Can't you walk properly?! You made my phone fall!" AmurightJules while picking up his dropped cell phone. "Fortunately the screen didn't crack," Jules said again with a bitchy tone. Jules immediately stood up while making sure his phone was okay. When he was about to speak again to the figure who had made his cell phone fall, Jules was made to stare at who the figure in front of him was.

"You!" Jules shrieked. "You turned out to be the one who made my phone fall!" Jules glared at a man in front of him with an annoyed look.

"It wasn't me who dropped your phone. You were just too careless and didn't use your eyes properly when walking." Said the man with a cold tone then walked away leaving Jules.

"How dare you call me reckless a second time!" Jules shrieked looking at Matheo's missing back from behind the door.

Matheo turned a deaf ear and did not reply to Jules' words which he felt were not important.

"Jules, what's with your face?" Lorenzo, who could see the look of annoyance on Jules' face, asked.

Jules took a deep breath before answering. "I'm fine, bro," Jules replied while trying to smile.

"But why do you look annoyed?" asked Lorenzo in disbelief.

Jules did not immediately answer Matheo's question. He prefers to look at the many

foods in front of him and then sat down in his chair.

"bro Lorenzo is right. What's with your face, Jules? Why do you look upset?" Vincent asked who also noticed Jules' face.

"I was really upset. Because when I got out of the bathroom there was a crazy guy who bumped into me and knocked my phone down."Jules said while looking at Matheo who had just returned to his desk.

"Crazy man?" Vincent's brow furrowed. "Is there a crazy man in this mall?" Vincent asked innocently.

Listening to Vincent's question made Jules snort. "Of course there is. If not, how could I say it." Jules said with a slightly louder voice.

At his desk, Matheo who was listening to Jules' words preferred tode his ear and continued his conversation with Gerry which had been delayed.

"Did you hear anything Matheo?" Gerry asked who could catch Jules' words directed at Matheo.

Matheo shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly.

Seeing Matheo's response made Gerry fold his lips so as not to laugh. Because for the first time there was a man who dared to insinuate Matheo subtly.

"So how? Are you sure if we will continue the housing development?" Matheo asked, diverting Gerry's words by discussing their business. Hearing Matheo's question, Gerry returned to focus on their business discussion and no longer paid attention to Jules who was now grumbling because of his friend's attitude.

"Jules... how about I take you back to your house?" offered Lorenzo when they were out of the mall.

Hearing Lorenzo's offer, Evan suddenly nudged Jules' arm as if giving a code.

Jules was silent for a while in thought.

How about this? I don't like it when I refuse the offer.

"Okay. I'll go home with Big Brother." Jules replied in the end.

Lorenzo widened his smile. Satisfied with Jules' answer which was to his liking.

"bro Lorenzo, thank you for the treatment today. I don't feel well." Jules said he felt embarrassed when Lorenzo's car was already driving on the highway.

"You're welcome. There's no need to be so shy. Besides, I'm happy to do it."Lorenzo replied with a smile.

Jules smiled too. The atmosphere in Lorenzo's car also felt awkward after their conversation stopped. Because for the first time Jules was willing to accept the invitation of a man who wanted to take him home.

"Jules... how about next week we go back but it's just the two of us?" Lorenzo asked, staring intensely at Jules' face.

Jules did not immediately answer Lorenzo's question, he preferred to look at Lorenzo's face, which was already looking straight ahead.

"I'm not used to traveling with a man like this, bro," Jules said honestly. he didn't want to give him hope.

"Have you never been on a date before?" asked Lorenzo who was a little surprised to hear Jules' words.

Jules nodded approvingly. "I've never been so close to a man until I was alone in a car like this." Reply.

Lorenzo widened his smile. "I'm so lucky to be the first man to go out with you."He said then laughed.

Jules also fake laughs.

'Remember, I just had to do it.' Inner Jules didn't want to reply to Lorenzo's words anymore.

The car continued to drive through the crowd at night. During the trip, Jules preferred to divert their conversation so that Lorenzo would not question his offer to take him out together next week.

Thirty minutes passed and Lorenzo's car arrived in front of Jules' parents' house.

Thanks for taking me home, bro. Jules said.

"You're welcome." Lorenzo smiled back.

Jules who was about to open the car door stopped his intention when Lorenzo grabbed his wrist.

"Jules, what about my offer earlier?" asked Lorenzo.

Jules sighed and lowered Lorenzo's hand which was still holding his arm.

"I'll think about it later, bro," Jules replied then got out of the car after Lorenzo nodded his head in understanding.

How dare he touch me. Jules grumbled to himself as he stared at Lorenzo's car as it started to leave his parents' house.
