Axel hadn't noticed earlier that Kevin was really cute; his green eyes shone like emeralds, and his red lips were very tempting. He coughed to regain his composure and motioned for Kevin to help himself to the food on the tray he had brought back, which was full of different dishes.
He then said, remembering what he had just said, and almost feeling hurt in his pride as a man, "No matter how powerful these people are, no one will ever be able to force me to date someone I didn't choose."
Kevin, who already appreciated Axel, respected him even more after this confession. He decided to say something to appease him: "I didn't intend to start a fight, and it was her who provoked me first with that murderous glare. I had already guessed that you couldn't be interested in this kind of woman."
