Chapter 171 Cooperation

At a high-end billiards club, Hearst and his friends were playing games attentively. Hearst bent over, stared at the cue intently, squinted, and got ready. He aimed the ball and then pushed it forwards forcefully.

Seeing the ball steadily fall into the hole, Noah said remorsefully, "I shouldn't have competed with you if I knew it earlier. I have lost definitely."

James giggled and said, "You are right. None of us is a match for him in billiards. It seems that you are destined to buy me the midnight snack tonight."

As Noah was exercising his joints, he said with a smile, "Let's wait and see. Hearst, I must win you today." While speaking, Noah paid attention to the game again.

When the game was on and on, Hearst's phone beeped. He then picked up the phone and put it near his ear, "Hi, honey."

Hearing Hearst call his wife in an intimate way, both Noah and James had goose bumps. However, Hearst ignored them. He kept his composure and talked with her. "See you later." Then he hung up with a smile on his lips.

"Is Heidy coming?" James said excitedly. "I haven't seen her for a long time. I miss her a lot."

Noah leaned over and said jokingly, "If you say so, aren't you afraid that someone will be jealous and directly smash you to pieces?"

James shrugged his shoulders and replied smilingly, "Don't be afraid. Hearst won't treat me like that. Besides, nothing happens between me and Heidy."

Leaning against the desk, Noah said slowly, "It's hard to say."

James was about to say something, but he heard Hearst say in a calm voice, "In Heidy's eyes, James is just a child.

When Noah heard this sentence, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. James was depressed. He pointed at himself and asked, "Am I that young? It's so sad."

Noah and Hearst looked at each other with smile in their eyes.

After a while, Heidy showed up with Jessica. When Noah saw them, he teased, "I knew you guys are living together. Heidy is with you all the time. It seems that you two are always together."

Holding her shoulder, Jessica laughed brightly and said, "Of course, we are best friends. It's a pity that I'm not a man. Otherwise, it won't be the one who married Heidy instead of Hearst."

Upon hearing her, Noah poked Hearst with his finger and said, "Hearst, someone is coming to declare war against you."

Swaying the cue back and forth, Hearst replied in a casual tone, "She doesn't have a chance."

With a giggle, Heidy came to Hearst calmly and asked, "How's the game going?"

"Almost done," replied Hearst shortly.

Jessica hit the cue and asked curiously, "Is it fun?"

Noah leaned over and said with a smile, "You want to learn it? Jessica, let me teach you how to play the billiards. Let's have a competition. If I lose the game, I will treat you to dinner. If you lose, Hearst treat us to dinner. What do you think?"

"If I lose, why should He

d and they began to eat right away. As Heidy was pregnant, she could only eat a little. She didn't want the baby to be affected. As James was eating happily, he said casually, "Noah, are you still single right now? When do you find a girlfriend?"

Jessica ate a lot and mumbled, "You had better find one before Christmas, or you will be lonely."

But Noah didn't answer her question directly. He looked at Jessica and asked, "Are you single?"

After taking a sip of wine, Jessica shook her head and said, "Yes. I'm still waiting the right guy. I don't want to meet someone like my ex."

Jessica ended up with a failure after she had been in a relationship with her boyfriend. And she was a little resistant to find a new boyfriend. "After you met with a scum, you can have a chance to meet the right one. Look! Heidy did it," said Noah.

James echoed, "Yes, Hearst is a great man. So, you should have confidence in love. There are still a lot of good man out there."

When she heard those words, Jessica smiled and said, "Yes, you are right. I must try my best before Christmas."

"How about this? How about accept me as your boyfriend?" Noah said suddenly.

Before Noah finished his words, Jessica was choked. The wine spewed out of her mouth. Fortunately, there was no one on the other side, or they would have to suffer. "You?" Jessica looked at him up and down in shock.

"Why are you so surprised? You are looking for a man, and I am looking for a woman. That's great," Noah said in a calm voice.

Jessica ate some roast meat to calm herself down. She narrowed her eyes and said with a smile, "I don't like toy boy."

Before she finished her words, Noah protested, "Do I look like a toy boy?"

"Yes," Jessica replied immediately.

Heidy watched them bicker with a smile on her face. It suddenly occurred to her that it would be not bad if Jessica and Noah were together. At least, life is not boring.
