Take Me Away

"Wronged?" Spencer snorted arrogantly. Suddenly he thought of Ryan and said, "Terence, I think someone likes Fiona."

His friend was not surprised at all. "I just met her once, but I can tell that she is an amazing woman. It's not unusual that someone would be interested in her. It is your reaction that is surprising."

"Why is that?" Spencer asked, raising his eyebrows.

"You look nervous, jealous even, I would say," Terence remarked shrewdly.

"Jealous? Me?" The muscles on Spencer's face twitched. "You are good at reading people!"

"Isn't it true? Come on. Don't be so stubborn," Terence coaxed with a smile.

"No, I am just excited!" Spencer said with a twinkle in his eye as an evil smile spread over his face. His eyes were like a bottomless pool where a storm had begun to form.

"For what?" Terence asked with trepidation.

"I've found a way to make her suffer!"

Terence was taken aback. He looked at him carefully and sat up straight. "So many years have passed. Shouldn't you let it go now? She did nothing wrong. It was just an accident. She is so young. Are you really going to destroy her?"

"Haven't you always known that I want to destroy her?" There was a menacing smile on Spencer's lips. "I suffered when I was eighteen. I want her to know what it feels like."

"Spencer, your grandpa will not spare you," Terence reminded him worriedly as he held his friend's shoulders tightly. He was afraid that he would do something terrible.

"I won't let Grandpa find out!" He narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, 'Fiona, I won't let you be cocky anymore!'

"Spencer..."

Terence tried to persuade him to change his mind but was interrupted by Spencer. "Shut up! I know what I am doing."

"All right!" Terence said with resignation. "Then, let's drink!" He was unable to think of a way to help his friend.

"Okay!"

"Is it okay for you to drink?" Terence asked. "You can't work as a drillmaster while you're drunk, can you?"

"I am taking a break from that place for some days. It's so annoying!" Spencer stood up and followed Terence to the first floor.

"Then why don't you come to my office and help me? We have recently joined hands with a new overseas online gaming company, and we're going to test our game. Perhaps you can help us with that."

"Let's talk about it later." Spencer walked over to the bar counter and asked, "Which is your most expensive wine?"

Putting his hands in his pockets, Terence replied with a smug smile, "I won't tell you because then I will have to open it today."
