"Let's go" Raegan says as he places an arm around Axel. The conversation earlier with Mr. Tancredi made him sentimental.
"Are you okay?" Axel looks at him with a questioning look.
"Yeah, why'd you ask?" Raegan retorts.
"Because you're acting like a big brother to me...?" Axel cheekily comments.
"Excuse me, I always act like a big brother to you" Raegan says as he fakes an insulted look.
"No, more like a father. Because you scold me a lot" Axel grins which earned him a smack to the back of his head.
"I am trying to discipline you" Raegan defenses.
"Exactly! Something a father would do!"
"Oh shut up! Let's get some food, I'm starving" Raegan says as they both laughed it off.
------------------
At the diner, they both had just finished eating their food when Raegan broke the comfortable silence.
"We need to talk" He starts.
"We are talking. What do you mean?" Axel retorts.
"I'm serious" Raegan says, lifting the napkin that once sat on his lap and placing it on the table, Axel doing the same.
"Fine, okay. Shoot" Axel says, paying full attention to the man sitting across him.
"Remember when you asked me about why people ask my age a lot?" Raegan trails.
"Yeah? What about it?" Axel looks at him, confused.
"Well, I always say I'm in my late 40s right?"
"Yep."
"Truth is, I look younger than what I tell people. I stopped aging at the age of 30. But I purposely celebrate my birthday every year so that the people around me doesn't get suspicious." Raegan explains.
"Wait, how old are you again?" Axel asks again, curiosity getting the best of him.
"A hundred and six." Raegan curtly replies.
"1-0-6?! Are you kidding me?!" Axel dramatically spells it out as he exclaimed loudly.
"Tone it down, Loen! We're not at home." Raegan warns.
"Alright, sorry! Gosh... I change my mind. You're no longer a father to me. You're now my grandpa!" Axel cheekily exclaims.
Raegan heaves a deep sigh. Looks like he'll have to tell him about the business takeover some other time. Axel feels like he's not obliged to be professional just because he's out of company grounds and is only with Raegan. Nevertheless, Raegan takes note of that— Train Axel to be professional at all times. Discipline is a must especially when talking about serious matters. But this time, he'll let it slide.
---------------------
"We leave when the sun sets." Raegan says as he threw the document he was reading on the coffee table.
"Should we get him something?" Axel asks.
"Mr. Tancredi says, strictly no gifts. So that's not necessary, you know him." He curtly replies.
