Chapter 308: Feeling a Bit Scared
The siblings were displeased upon hearing Bruce's words. How could they not care? With their brother accompanied by such a woman, unknown to them, how could they possibly relax? Sylvia sensed that her initial reaction wasn't fake; there was definitely something off about this woman.
"We don't have anything else going on, so why don't I accompany you?"
Sylvia suggested, casting a cautious glance at the woman. The woman wore a soft smile, especially gentle when facing Sylvia. Bruce didn't like this overly friendly demeanor. He firmly tapped the woman's head.
"I'll say it again, don't look at my sister like that. If you keep giving her that look, I won't bother with you today. Don't come looking for me in the future." "Why are you so petty? I just glanced at your sister, I didn't do anything. Friends shouldn't bully each other's siblings. Trust me, I understand. And I know you're protective of your sister, but if I had ill intentions, I wouldn't wait till now, right? You're just too tense. I've already told you, I won't do anything to the people around you. Since you're not busy, let your sister accompany me."
After being reprimanded, the woman became discontented and started arguing with Bruce. Their sudden change in demeanor puzzled Sylvia and Balk. So, were they on good or bad terms?
"Bro, if she's your girlfriend, can't you discuss things calmly? Why argue? And why does this involve my sister? Oh, by the way, I saw Miles here earlier. If you're busy, I can go find him now."
Balk glanced at the woman and then at Bruce. He had watched many videos of Bruce in the entertainment industry and had a bold guess, but couldn't confirm its truth.
"Hey, I just think your sister is pretty, so I wanted to pursue her."
After saying this, both Sylvia and Balk were stunned. Bruce remained silent with a grim expression, which already hinted at the seriousness of the matter. They were both shocked by this unexpected turn of events.
"Um, I'm not really against LGBTQ+ stuff, but my sister's recent relationship hasn't been smooth. Besides, she likes someone else. So, it's not appropriate for you to pursue her. Plus, I always imagined her with a guy she likes. If you chase after her, I think it's not right."
Balk's mouth was dry, feeling a bit scared. Not only Balk, but Sylvia also felt the same. Although they didn't dislike LGBTQ+ individuals like their brother, they found it a bit strange when it involved them personally. And suddenly, seeing Miles here today felt like a relief.
"Um, I think I should go find Miles first. You two can chat slowly. I'm leaving."
Sylvia hurriedly left, as if someone was chasing her from behind.
"Hey, I was just joking. I like your sister, not just because she's pretty. It was just a passing comment, nothing more. Why are you overthinking it? How am I supposed to face you and your sister now? You're making this such a big deal. What do I do?"
Seeing Sylvia run off, the woman felt annoyed and kicked Bruce.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
In this situation, even Balk was stunned seeing the sudden outburst from both of them. He could confirm their relationship was probably very close, or else this situation wouldn't have happened.
"This isn't right. When I was in your
office that day, it was just the two of
you. What's going on between you two? Do you need to explain it to me? Sylvia was nearly scared out of her wits. And you know, her recent relationship hasn't been smooth. If you say something like this now, it'll scare her even more. Plus, your friend seems overly enthusiastic, don't you think?"
Balk took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, then looked at Bruce seriously, asking for an explanation.
Bruce felt a bit of a headache. It wasn't such a big deal, but the woman had blown it out of proportion.
"I said earlier, I'm just here to help her out, nothing more. Go tell Sylvia not to be nervous. She likes someone else, who's not her type. So, just take it as her talking nonsense."
As Bruce said this, the woman
nodded beside him, confirming she already had someone she liked. She had only been teasing Sylvia intentionally, and she felt quite guilty now. She hadn't expected to stir up such a big reaction.
"I should've explained it to you two earlier. I didn't expect Sylvia to get so scared."
"It's not about being scared, it's just that my sister likes someone here too. If you cause a scene like this, it'll lead to misunderstandings."
Balk shrugged, then glanced at Sylvia and Miles. They were talking intently, with Sylvia looking a bit anxious. Miles' gaze shifted oddly, then looked in their direction.
"See, something's off. I knew this wasn't right. Sylvia must have told Miles about this. How do we resolve this?"
Balk looked at his brother earnestly, wanting to know how to handle this situation.
