His dark suit hugged his broad shoulders and narrow waist, complemented by that handsface of his. Just the short walk from his car to the diner had already turned a few heads.

Hearing footsteps, Byte 7 finally dragged his gaze away from his phone screen.
Seeing Everett, his brows knitted together. "Why is it you?" Everett pulled out the chair opposite him and sat down. "Who were you expecting?" "Byte 7, trying to steal my son was one thing, but aiming for my wife too? You really think I'm out of the picture, huh?" There was no anger in his voice, just a casual lean back.
The atmosphere felt like a stern, reliable older brother schooling his reckless younger sibling.
Byte 7 scoffed, slouching in his seat, "You're not even back together. What, am I not allowed to pursue her?" "You don't stand a chance." "How do you know that?

"It looks like you still don't care about your server." "I've moved it." Everett shrugged. "Have you now? Well, let's see where you've moved it to." He took out his phone, fingers seemingly busy tapping.

"You're eyeing my treasure; I've got to keep an eye on yours." "Touch my server again, and it's war!" Byte 7 slammed the table, ready to stand up- But a mere glance from Everett froze him in his seat.
"Why set your sights on Dorothy of all people?" "Leave my server alone first!" Everett raised an eyebrow, then showed his phone to Byte 7. "S was just replying to a messag work." Swno "Byte 7, considering you were my son's mentor, I don't want to make this personal." Byte 7 was visibly irked.
"Dorothy has her freedom! We should compete fairly. What gives you the e right to denya chance?" "I think you're wasting her time."
"How do you know she's not interested?" Byte 7 buffed, starting to lean back. The content is on The novelenglish.net!
