Liam waved to greet Hezekiah - the manager of the nightclub, as he entered along with Noah and some of his body guards. He asked Noah and the others to sit down first as Hezekiah coded him to speak.
“What's up? Any problems?” Liam sat in front of Hezekiah.
“Club is safe-safe only, everything is safe controlled and smooth. I just wanted to say that..”.
Hezekiah raised his hand, pointing in a direction and Liam followed him.
“...I don't know what happened with your cousin, but the last few weeks almost every night come to the club and..drunk.”.
Liam frowned in wonder. Bobby does want to come to the night club, but it should not be as often as Hezekiah reveals. When Liam asks to meet, Bobby always refuses on busy grounds. But why is he even at the club almost every night, alone and drunk? What the hell happened to him?
“Some nights ago even he had to be driven home by a woman, but it looks like Bobby knew him because I saw him give the woman the car keys.”
“Why did you let it?” Liam clucked in shock then punched Hezekiah's arm slowly.
“What if that woman used Bobby because she was drunk?”
Liam doesn't want Bobby to experience what he's going through, because women like Hanna are one in a thousand. He's still very lucky to do it with Hanna, and if it's someone else, maybe Liam's life is different again.
“I think they...quite close.” There was a beam of guilt and remorse on Hezekiah's face, but all was done.
“Hopefully the woman is really an acquaintance of Bobby.” Mumbled Liam.
He looked once more at Bobby who seemed to be getting drunk. He drank, then looked down, drank again, looked down again, and so on. What made Bobby do that? For Liam, Bobby's condition like this is severe because he has never seen such a sad Bobby.
Bobby looked up - then turned his head when he realized someone was sitting next to him. Realizing it was Liam, he smiled faintly and then again downed his alcohol until the last drop.
“Stop. What the fuck, huh?” Liam looked unhappy.
Bobby just laughed grimacingly as if Liam was doing something funny. Liam sighs. He got rid of the still-full drink that was on Bobby's desk.
“Come, I'll take you home.”
Bobby shook Liam's hand and took back the drink that Liam had kept away. Liam held Bobby's hand back but Bobby kept trying to pull him over.
“What happened to you, huh? Why are you so pathetic like this? You always don't have time to meet me but you can spend a lot of time here. Wh why? You got a problem with me?” Liam could barely control his anger.
Bobby's acting weird. It was like he was in a phase of depression, but because of what? Even if the company is in trouble, it shouldn't cause Bobby to be destroyed, not to that extent. If he's having financial difficulties, he can go see Liam. Even his parents would have intervened and not let Bobby suffer alone. But why did he shut himself up and do something he had never done before?
“That girl rejected me..” Bobby smiled thinly.
“...imagine..i loved her for years. I continue to nurture my hope because I believe he will definitely like me, he will definitely accept me one day. But..apparently I'm too confident..”.
Oh, my God, it's a girl problem.
Liam is stunned because he knows how deeply Bobby feels about the mysterious woman he always tells Liam. Still fresh in Liam's memory, the night after his company's gala dinner, Bobby immediately slides into Liam's apartment and tells the woman enthusiastically. She was even able to describe in detail the evening dress she wore, the accessories that stuck to her head, as well as her minimalist but luxurious jewelry - at least that's what Bobby said first. Liam even considered Bobby a little childish and just like a teenager who was new to the word love.
Although at that time Bobby also said that the woman already had a lover, but Bobby's face exuded a very real happiness, which was first seen by Liam. Liam realized, it was the first time Bobby told someone to Liam, meaning that the woman was very special. He can get one space in Bobby's heart, isn't he amazing?
“I think because of what.” Liam pretended to grumble, but in his heart he felt very sorry for Bobby.
Though Liam intends to introduce Hanna in the near future to Bobby, because after all Bobby is his only cousin. If Bobby's situation is like this, it looks like Liam has to cancel it, waiting for the time where Bobby returns to being normal.
“But he's only one, Liam. She's the only girl that makes me fall in love in one look. But for free I'll tell you, you won't understand what it's like to really fall in love."
Liam was about to deny it, but Bobby knew he was a man who every night was looking for a 'victim' to sleep with. Bobby doesn't know if Hanna has made Liam stop doing his bad habits. So, Liam can't blame Bobby for his accusations.
"What good is that woman you say? For sure he is far from the women you have slept with.”
Liam sighed resignedly. It seems Bobby does need alcohol because his heartbreak this time is much heavier than Liam thought. At least the alcohol could make him forget for a moment about his problem.
“I..mau go home.” muttered Bobby, standing up but straight away dazed instantly.
Luckily there was Liam beside him who deftly caught Bobby's hand and sat him back down.
“Why are you suddenly stupid like this anyway?” grouch Liam.
“Sitting is right. I'll get you some lemon water to get rid of your little influence. Remember, sit right.”
Liam pointed his finger in front of Bobby's face, making Bobby smile. Liam even had to shake his head, not believing that the one in front of him was his cousin Bobby.
Liam has to admit, there are many influences inflicted by women in their lives. Hanna is able to change Liam, making him instantly want a family bond even though he had previously sworn many times not to have a family. And look at Bobby. The woman was able to change her personality, from being rarely drunk and playing to a nightclub to being a figure who almost every night beheaded alcohol and drunk.

“Keren also Liam.” Lona gave her thumb.
Hanna simply put on her smile, then lowered her head in a sign that she agreed with Lona's statement. It's Saturday, so the two don't go into the office and choose to spend time alone in Lona's apartment. Hanna has just told Lona about the house Liam just bought and it seems Lona is very happy.
“Looks like I should start changing my point of view on him. I thought she couldn't act like that, but I was wrong.” Said again.
“Same..” murmured Hanna.
“I also think if our closeness is purely because of the child. But the longer I feel if I start to feel different about her.”
“From the first time you were crazy about him, right? It's not a secret anymore.” Lona smiled.
“Not crazy things..” Hanna did admit that Liam made her forget herself. He craved Liam, wanting Liam at all times, but this time it wasn't because of that.
“. When she said she emptied our son's room waiting for my idea, I was so moved. She implicated me for such a small thing, I felt so precious to her. And..I also liked when he started showing me his responsibilities.”
“So, you're lucky to get it, right?”
“Perhaps more precisely, we are both lucky, don't we?”
Lona laughed a little. “Stay you don't want to give up ya.” Exclaims.
“Oh yes, I bought you a portable juicer. While at the office, you should not drink coffee again or juice that has been made. You have to make juice for yourself, it is healthier.”
Hanna looked at Lona full of haru. “Thanks baby.”
“Sama-sama.” Lona hugged Hanna tightly.
The two spent the entire day telling stories, snacking, and also sleeping. Such things are often done both, whether it's at Hanna's house or Lona's apartment. This is what creates a strong bond between them.
