"No, of course not! But I think you should have at least hit them heavily and given them something to remember," Patricia muttered. Obviously, she was not satisfied with the way Kevin dealt with those guys.
"And then? People would have the opportunity to gossip that the military bullies people at a bar and takes advantage of his power? Is that what you want?" Kevin said coldly. It was not that he was afraid of that man, but he did not want to be the one to create a bad name for the military. The last thing he needed was another case for disciplinary action.
"Is that really so terrible?" Patricia was confused. She heard that soldiers always threw their weight around and disrespected the rights of civilians. Was that not the case?
"You tell me!" Kevin replied to make her think. The reason why there was sometimes disharmony between the army and the ordinary people was because many people thought of the military the way Patricia did.
"How could I know? Why do you ask me that?" Patricia glared back at Kevin. She knew he wasn't in a good mood now because Leena was almost hit by a chair.
"Alright! Why don't we take this to another room, please! We can continue this discussion there peacefully and with a few drinks and some food. What do you guys say?" Hoyle led the way to a private room. He did not think it was wise for Kevin to stay in the public area with his military uniform on.
"Let's go, Nana." Kevin reached out to hold Leena's hand and talked to her in a careful tone, which was totally different from the cold and distant tone he used to talk to other people.
"Hey, what's their relationship?" Michelle was confused and asked Patricia following them closely behind.
"Obviously, they are a couple. Can't you think a bit?" Patricia replied hel
ice to meet you. I am Leena Leng. Thank you so much, especially, for your kindness and hospitality." Leena reached out politely to Hoyle for a handshake. Her face blushed immediately at the thought that he always saw her in awkward situations.
"I'm Hoyle Yi. Nice to meet you, too. Probably my parents were quite confident about their son, so they gave me such an uncommon name. Also, don't thank me for the bill last time. It's on Kevin. You can thank him," Hoyle told a joke about his name to relax the atmosphere. At the same time he reached out to shake her hand.
"No way! You know each other?" Patricia said and took a look at Leena with blaming eyes. Now she understood why Leena was so concerned when they invited her to this bar. The boss and Kevin were friends!
"It's not her fault. It's her first time to see me today." Hoyle smiled broadly. Actually he saw her before. He was also present that night when she was drunk. But Kevin was still there with her, so Hoyle did not sit close to her. Despite this, he saw everything, except, of course, what happened inside the private room. He was not a person who liked to talk about what other people did behind closed doors.
