They took their seats, and very soon, the food was served.
Harold asked the waiter to bring a bottle of fine red wine. Then, he turned to Loreen and complimented, “It’s such a happy day today, why don’t we drink some wine to celebrate!”
Loreen shook her hands instantly and said, “I think I’ll pass, I’ll just have some juice.”
“No can do!” Harold shrieked.
He wanted to make Loreen drunk and see if he could find a chance to jump on her, but Loreen immediately refused his request to drink, which made him utterly disappointed.
Loreen said apologetically, “I’m so sorry, Harold, I’m not feeling well today, so I can’t drink. Let’s find a chance next time to get together and have a glass or two.”
Actually, Loreen could tell what was playing in Harold’s mind, and she wanted to protect herself from any unwanted scenarios, hence, she made up her mind not to drink with him tonight.
Harold was bummed out after his request to drink was rejected, but he didn’t dare to express himself, so he said instead, “It’s okay, let’s just drink juice then.”
Loreen nodded. “Thanks for being so considerate!”
Meanwhile, a seemingly gracious young man sitting at the table next to them was staring at Loreen. He was attracted by her elegant temperament and aura after he saw her walking into the restaurant.
‘The lady is so beautiful and extraordinary, she looks like a fairy descending to earth!’ thought the young man when he first laid eyes on Loreen.
After observing their interaction for a while, he realized that the lady and the man were not a couple, so he decided to grab his chance to get to know the beautiful lady.
He mustered enough courage before he stood up, walked towards their table, and said to Loreen, “Hi, I couldn’t help but fall in love with you at first sight as soon as you walked into the restaurant. May I get your number?”
Loreen was stunned by the sudden approach.
She didn’t expect to have someone hitting on her in the restaurant tonight.
On the other hand, Harold was extremely agitated.
Where did this fool come from? Couldn’t he see that he was sweet-talking her? How dare he come and cut him off, bugger?
Before Loreen could answer the abrupt request, Harold said coldly, “Who the hell are you? What are you doing, bugging us at our table?”
The young man said lightly, “I’m talking to this fine lady here, stay out of it.”
Then, he turned to Loreen again. “Miss, I’ve been watching you for a long time. I didn’t want to disturb your dinner, but I couldn’t help it, for fear of missing the opportunity to get to know you, so please forgive me for my abruptness.”
Harold’s blood was boiling right now!
Where the fuck did this dog come from? How dare he steal his woman?
Harold glared at him indignantly and growled, “I warn you, get away from us when I talk nicely! If you dare to talk or even peek in our direction again, I’ll gouge your eyes out!”
The young man frowned in dismay and asked Loreen, “Is he your boyfriend?”
Loreen shook her head.
The young man then turned his head back at Harold and said, “Since you are not her boyfriend, what’s wrong with me confessing to her?”
Harold grinned coyly. “I don’t like you watching her, keep your eyes away from her!”
The young man frowned again. “Why are you so cocky? You think you’re so great, don’t you?”
“Boy, I’m from the Wilson family, get lost when I talk nicely if you don’t want any trouble!”
Loreen was a little annoyed and disgusted by now.
Firstly, she didn’t like how the young man was so direct and blunt in his confession.
Secondly, she didn’t like Harold’s pompous and overbearing attitude.
The young man glared at Harold in irritation and said coldly, “The Wilson family? You? Don’t make me laugh! I warn you, stop your pretentious act right now, otherwise, I’ll make sure you won’t be able to walk out of this restaurant!”
Harold gritted his teeth in angst like a bear in a sore head.
He became an easy target for anyone now!
He had already embarrassed himself the first time he had invited Loreen to dinner. If he failed to prove himself this time and embarrassed himself again in front of Loreen, he wouldn’t have a chance to pursue her anymore.
He grabbed the wine bottle on the table and yelled, “Quiet, fucker! You ask for this!”
In a blink of an eye, he slammed the bottle on the young man’s head!
With a loud bang, blood gushed out of the man’s head and spilled onto the floor!
The young man felt light-headed and dizzy from the smash and almost collapsed to the floor.
The diners around them were also shocked by the sudden commotion.
Harold glared viciously at the young man whose head was drenched by his own blood and sneered, “Get lost, or I’ll break your leg!”
The young man held the wound on his head and growled, “Alright, tough guy, wait and see!”
Then, he ran out of the restaurant.
Harold grinned disdainfully and said, “Fucking loser, who does he think he is to threaten me? I am Harold Wilson, fucker!”
Then, he put on a smug look as he said to Loreen, “There’s always these annoying bugs everywhere you go, don’t let him ruin our night. Come, let’s enjoy our dinner.”
Loreen’s celebratory mood was totally destroyed after the disturbing moment. She simply nodded without a word.
Throughout the dinner, Harold tried to lighten up the mood by striking conversations, but Loreen wasn’t entertained at all.
In her opinion, Harold was nothing but an incapable and reckless man. He wouldn’t even be on her list even if he was the only man left in the world.
Harold, on the other hand, assumed that Loreen would fall for his charisma when he got his hands on the stupid bugger in front of her, but it was the complete opposite. Loreen seemed to be a little more repulsive and disgusted with him.
He was feeling depressed when he saw the annoyed expression on Loreen’s face. If she didn’t like men who used violence, it would mean that he had dug his own grave by smashing the wine bottle on the young man’s head, wouldn’t it?
Harold was equally dispirited throughout the meal.
After their meal, he thought that they could go for a second round to get to know each other better, but Loreen frowned at his suggestion and said, “It’s getting late, I have to go back now. Thanks for dinner.”
A dash of gloom hovered under Harold’s eyes. “Let me send you home then!”
Loreen shook her head. “It’s okay, I’ll just take a taxi back.” She couldn’t be more clear that she wanted to draw a line with Harold.
Harold felt the wrath of fury burning inside him, but he suppressed it and said in a polite manner, “Let me see you off then, at least I’ll know which car you’re in.”
Loreen didn’t refuse him this time. She nodded and walked out of the restaurant quietly. Harold quickly pursued.
He was extremely agitated by the turn of events. Initially, he wanted to have a romantic date and confess to Loreen, but the fucking bugger came along and ruined his chance! In fact, he seemed to have left a bad impression on her too! It was not his day.
“If I see that fucking dog again, I’ll kill him!” Harold cursed under his breath.
