Ulterior Motive

"Brother, tell Mum what she needs to know about that Yang guy. I hinted her about you having something to tell her."

Having disclosed an important hint without his brother's formal approval, Eric had to go report himself.

Hearing that, Mark took a few seconds to search his memory for his schedule, and after he had confirmed it, he said to Eric, "Sunday will be a better time visit. Tell me when Chloe isn't at home, then I will come over."

"What?" Eric was astonished. Was his older brother asking him to be his watchdog on the weekend he was supposed to be out having fun? That was ridiculous!

"Are you trying to steal away my time this weekend?"

"Please..." Mark could only try to persuade him. Knowing how the timing was inconvenient for him, he had to ask for the favour instead of his normal way of giving orders.
