Capítulo 44: Reminiscing
"Adam you are finally awake, come and join us" called out Cole welcomingly, seeing Adam from the dining table in the centre of the open area.
"Sure" accepted Adam.
He walked over to them to see the large table filled with a range of foods that would be impossible for them to finish.
"So much food" uttered Adam as his stomach rumbled, noticing he hadn't eaten for a long time.
"Join us, you're obviously hungry" joked Cole as they all began to laugh.
Adam sat down beside Cole and began to devour large amounts of foods.
Looking at Adam's appetite and the amount he could eat, they were massively shocked, remembering him as their skinny friend that didn't eat much.
Yet looking at his toned and chiselled body, it made sense to them that his physique required large amounts of food to sustain.
"So, Adam would you mind telling us why you went to sleep so abruptly and for such a long time" enquired Emma curiously.
"Well, I was tired and I am used to sleeping long amounts of time, so my body has become accustomed to it and it has become a habit to sleep for long whiles" answered Adam.
Adam had become adept in formulating excuses and stories to cover the tracks of the Dungeon System and dodge any questions that were targetted towards the effects of the system.
His answer wasn't satisfactory, but answered her question and Cole managed to jump in and get his friend out of the awkward questioning.
"So, Sarah what will you do now, are you planning on going college like Emma. It might not be too late" asked Cole, taking the target off Adam.
Adam gave Cole a grateful smile, then turned to Sarah who was about to answer.
"Well, me and Adam have started a company" announced Sarah proudly.
"Really, what is it based around and how much capital do you have so far," asked Emma who was an economics student and was interested by Sarah's sudden revelation.
"Um, we only began a week ago and have invested 50,000 dollars into the company" answered Sarah.
Emma's expression didn't change in the slightest and seemed to think of 50,000 dollars as nothing shocking.
"And what is it about," asked Cole, who didn't get many details from Adam.
"It is a property development and real estate company and we should take off within a few months" summarised Sarah.
"Need a hand with the company" offered Cole generously.
Sarah looked around the penthouse and saw the obvious wealth that Cole had access to, but she was too embarrassed to ask for help and also was unwilling to do so as she wouldn't be satisfied with her own work.
"Why don't we exchange phone numbers for now so we don't lose contact with each other for another few years" suggested Adam, seeing Sarah struggling to answer.
"Yeah we should do that, otherwise Adam might suddenly disappear" agreed Cole, also changing the subject.
They exchanged numbers and finished their meal, then sat in the lounge area to relax.
It was slightly awkward ever since Cole offered help, which was out of kindness, but the mood soon changed after Cole and Adam began to joke and lighten the mood.
Adam was noticing that his Hunter's mind was very relaxed around his friends and he finally felt like he was truly a normal person as he continued to burst out into laughter with his best friend.
Meanwhile, Sarah and Emma were also enjoying the show, from their side of the lounge area, as all 4 of them reminisced about the past for a long while.
"What do you have planned today," asked Adam to Cole.
"Well, I am going to see my father who wishes to take me to a formal event" answered Cole.
"What about you," asked Cole in reply.
"I don't have anything planned and have a free schedule for the day, but need to get back before late" answered Adam.
"Why don't you come with me" suggested Cole.
"Shouldn't you go with your girlfriend to a formal event" stated Adam, not wanting to get in the way of Cole's relationship.
"Nah, Emma doesn't like these events and would much rather hang around with Sarah. Isn't that right Emma" called out Cole.
Emma nodded in agreement and turned back to Sarah as they also planned their day.
"Well then, I don't see why not" accepted Adam.
"When will we be leaving" asked Adam.
"Hmmm, in 13 minutes" calculated Cole as he looked at his expensive-looking wristwatch.
"What, so soon" exclaimed Adam, shocked by the calm and chilled attitude Cole had despite running late to a formal event.
Then remembering how Cole always used to cause him to be late and was never on time, Adam couldn't help but shake his head.
"Hurry up and get changed" urged Adam to Cole who sat beside him wearing informal clothing.
"What, I am going like this" stated Cole.
"Didn't you say it was a formal event" asked Adam.
"Yes"
"Then why are going to go in jeans and a t-shirt" exclaimed Adam in shock and frustration at Cole's uncaring and nonchalant attitude.
Cole stood up and headed towards the exit, leaving Aam rambling to himself about how irresponsible Cole had always been ever since they were young.
"Are you coming" called out Cole from within the lift.
Adam scurried to join Cole and was both disappointed and amused by Cole's actions as the lift doors closed after him and took them down.
"Classic Adam and Cole, always bickering and acting as entertainment for us" mocked Emma as she and Sarah began to laugh between themselves.
