Chapter 666
Hearing that, Ivan almost peed his pants and resisted Michael’s tug. “There’s no need for that, really.
Sir… I-I just said that out of annoyance. You don’t have to do this… You know what? I’ll do it! I’ll do a
sexy dance in front of you! You just have to sit down to watch it!”
Michael continued to drag him as he said politely, “Come here. Don’t be shy! I’ve already practised all the
dance moves. Come take a seat!”
Ivan replied, “No, no, no. Sir, you should take a seat. I’ll stand.”
Michael’s smile was too cunning and terrifying. It made Ivan’s heartbeat speed up.
After continuous rejections from Ivan, Michael’s patience was slowly running out. In an instant, his face
darkened.
After all, he was a professional actor.
Taking back his old vigor while training first-years, he asked firmly, “So what do you want? Do you still
want to watch the sexy dance? Are you going to work for my wife and sign the contract?”
Stammering, Ivan answered, “S-S-Sir, I-I’ll sign it…”
With that, Michael pushed the contract to him, along with the stamp and a pen. Ivan didn’t even dare to
look at the contract as he signed it with trembling fingers.
After that, he slumped to the ground in a daze.
Meanwhile, Sophia took the contract away happily. “Give me a moment to stamp on it. I’ll send your copy
to youter.”
After Sophia walked over, Michael sat down with Ivan while Sarah quickly prepared tea for them.
Patting Ivan’s shoulders, Harry felt sorry for him.
“How did you be like this? You’ve fallen from grace! Back then, you were a famous talent at
Bayside University. At least in our batch, everyone knew your name. How did you reach such a low point
to watch men perform sexy dance? What a disgusting hobby!”
To be honest, Ivan didn’t have any intentions to watch any sexy dances. He was just annoyed by Sophia,
so he wanted to scare her off so that she would know it wasn’t going to be easy. Unexpectedly, Sophia
actually managed to invite Taylor Murray.
Ivan’s cheeks flushed red immediately. Taking this opportunity, Michael quickly treated him to a meal and
some beer. After all, it would be better to talk to him about this if he was drunk.
Michael was quite devoted to his beloved wife’s business. Right after he returned, she asked him to
perform a sexy dance, and he even practised it. At the final juncture, if Ivan really wanted to see it, he
was already prepared to dance.
Of course, it would be the best if he didn’t have to do that.
Finally, he understood how Nathan felt when he forced him to dance to ‘Three Little Bears’ the other
time.
Nate must have been cursing in his heart the entire time.
Soon enough, Ivan was drunk after being served some beers by them. Then, Michael and Harry dragged
him to a secluded rooftop to continue drinking.
After so long of not seeing his old friends, Ivan couldn’t help remembering his younger days, crying as he
drank on.
He probably cried out all the contents that he drank.
Sobbing, he began to tell them his experience for the past few years.
“Back then, I went abroad before I could even finish studying at Bayside University. I had no choice—my
house was cheated away by my rtives who only gave my sister and I some money. Taking the money,
I went abroad because I might be tricked by my rtives more if I had stayed. They were even thinking
of marrying my sister off to get some money as dowry. After I went abroad, I studied design while
working part time to support my sister. My career had been doing well, so she came to work with me
after graduating. The first time I met Lavender was at a cinema. She loved your movies, Commander. I
even promised to bring her to meet you after we came back here. However, everything was so
unpredictable… After my sister came back here to continue her career, I didn’t know that she was
already so fragile… When I was busy with her funeral, I forgot to care for my cat, Raindrops, which ate
my sister’s hamsters. When I found out, it was already toote. My hamster, my sister, Raindrops, Lav,
and the baby—they were all dead. But I still had Tiger. After I came back here, I started an office and
lived together with Tiger. When I was drawing, it would alwaysy by my side. With it around, I
thought, At least Tiger’s still here with me. However, one fateful day, after I had a meeting with some
clients, I found out that thieves had broken into my house and left the door open. Because of that, Tiger
ran outside. After searching around for it, I found out that it had been picked up by others. When I asked
for it back, they disagreed and threw it out of the tenth floor in front of me. I-I…”
Sobbing, he couldn’t continue anymore as tears streamed down his face.
Michael had already known about his story from others, but it waspletely different from hearing him
telling it himself.
Who would have expected that he’s living such a miserable life? His parents, sister, wife, and child are all
dead. Even his pets are dead. I wonder how he has lived through all these years…
Harry brought an unwilling Judge over and threw it into Ivan’s arms.
“Tonight, it belongs to you! Be more gentle to it! It’s your Tiger for the night. You can tell it anything you
want.”
Hugging Judge, Ivanpletely broke down, talking to it about his misfortunes throughout these years.
Michael consoled him, “There, there. Buck up. Those who are dead can’te back to live. You just
have to work hard. In the future, you will have your own wife and kids, and your dogs and cats. This is a
good job. Since we know each other way back, I won’t lie to you. Do your job well, alright? We wouldn’t
want your talents to be hidden. The pets luxury brands industry in Cethos needs you to save it. After
Judge and Sunset mate next year, we’ll send their puppy to you. I will also give you Garfield’s kittens!”
…
When it was midnight, Sophia went to the third floor to take a peek at them, only to find three drunk men
and a dog.
Being hugged tightly by Ivan, Judge looked sorry for itself.
Sophia brought her husband away and left the others there. After a while, Sarah also came to bring
Harry away.
However, Ivan was a big shot they had finally convinced to sign on, so he couldn’t be left sleeping alone
on the rooftop as well. Hence, Sophia quickly sent him to the guest room and even put Judge and
Chrysanthemum in his room to apany him.
After she finished settling them down and went back to her room, she saw that Michael had woken up,
even though he was still drunk. He justy in his bed and looked at her with his eyes wide open.
Probably because he was happy to see his old friends, he had drunk a lot tonight.
Back then, they were still a bunch of young men. In the blink of an eye, they had all be bald middle-
aged men.
Michael still remembered the group of students back then—Ivan, Harry, Quinton…
Back then, Ivan was still a bespectacled nerd who scored well in exams, and Harry was a brat who only
knew how to fight, while Joel was the drilling instructor of anotherpany. Bothpanies secretly
competed with each other, while Quinton was still a quiet sissy who was slightlydylike.
……
Ten years of time was like a sculpting knife, moulding the simr people back then into different shapes
and structures.
The nerd had be a lunatic; the sissy became a notorious assassin, Phantom Wolf; Harry became
the lord of the underworld; while Michael was stillpeting with Joel.
Sophiay down on Michael’s arm after seeing that he was lying on the bed spread eagle, slightly drunk.
He had gained some weight at the film set, so it was soft andfortable to sleep on him.

Taking his arm as a pillow, Sophia looked at his slightly plump face with his double chin showing.
He looks pretty cute this way too!
A middle-aged man should look like how they should look. With his age, it was about time for him to gain
some weight.
Sophia stretched her hands into his shirt to gently rub on his belly fat.
Michael was indeed drunk tonight. He turned around to hug Sophia and murmured drunkenly, “Chica, do
you want to see a sexy dance…”
