Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Tony Stark glanced at Luke and said casually, “The editor of Moon News apologized. Don’t you think you should?”

Luke smiled. “But Mr. Stark, that photo of that poor cover girl trembling in the cold outside your house wasn’t fake.”

Then, he turned around and ignored Tony Stark.

The officers up ahead gestured to indicate that the team could start moving again. Luke and Selina started walking.

There was little Tony could do. The editor of Moon News had only apologized for the slander about Tony’s impotence, not for the naked cover girl.

Besides, he had met people like Luke before.

There were definitely more people who hated him than who liked him, and Tony couldn’t pick on either of them.

But the gorgeous officer’s powerful movements, pleasing face, and beautiful curves were a cut above his usual target.

Tony was too busy considering that to notice that Bill was gloating next to him.

Given Tony’s callousness, most people would only applaud if he stumbled and fell.

Annoyed, Tony stopped at his car and said to Luke, who wasn’t far away, “I’m taking your partner to Xochi on a date this evening, and we’re going to have a lovely night after that. Is there anything you want to say?”

Luke smiled. “How about a bet? I bet that you won’t succeed.”

Tony said, “Let’s wait and see.” He then got into his car.

It wasn’t until an hour later that Luke and Selina were finally done with the assignment. They went to have lunch together.

While they were having sandwiches and Dr. Pepper, Luke said, “You heard the playboy’s challenge, didn’t you?”

Selina’s eyes glowed. “Of course I did. Thank you, Luke!”

Luke was confused. “Huh?”

“That idiot offered to treat me to Xochi after you needled him a little. Do you know how expensive the food there is? I’ve been wanting to try the place out for so long, but I don’t have the money for it,” said Selina excitedly.

Luke was dazed. “Huh?” It finally occurred to him that Xochi seemed to be a Mexican restaurant, which was Selina’s favorite.

Thinking for a moment, Luke suddenly smiled. “That works, but I wasn’t lying about what I said to Mr. Stark just now. Don’t get kicked out of the door naked in the middle of the night – you can eat, but no drinks after, and you have to come home after dinner.”

Selina snorted in dissatisfaction, but still said obediently, “Okay.”

When they left work later that day, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped not far from them, and a somewhat familiar man emerged.

He said to Selina, “Miss Selina, I’m the head of Mr. Stark’s security team. I’m here to take you to have dinner with him.”

Selina glanced at Luke. Luke said, “Remember what I said.”

Selina sniffed and nodded slightly. She got in the car, and it soon drove off.

From beginning to end, the head of security never once looked at Luke.

Luke stared at the car and checked his phone. “Well, it’s half past six. I can call her at half past seven.”

He had made a bet with Tony Stark. Although the guy hadn’t explicitly accepted it, what if the system had acknowledged it?

Thus, he certainly wouldn’t allow the playboy to hit on Selina.

Yes, that was his reason.

Luke drove the police car back to the police station and rode his bike home.

Since Selina wasn’t here, he simply bought instant noodles for himself.

Although it was garbage food, it certainly tasted great.

He hadn’t had any for a long time, so he bought some from the Chinese supermarket on his way home.

After a shower, he had a cup of tea and watched TV.

It was good to relax for a bit after a busy day.

But his phone rang before half past seven.

He picked up the call, and Selina’s voice came through. “Come and pick me up.”

Luke was surprised. “Huh? Where?”

“Xochi! I’m at the entrance.” Selina sounded rather calm.

Luke said, “Alright, I’m on my way.”

Twenty minutes later, Luke stopped his bike and smiled. “Miss Selina, your driver is here.”

Selina was dumbfounded, and Tony Stark’s face twisted.

Yes, Luke was here on his bike.

Thankfully, Xochi wasn’t far away from their apartment, or it might’ve taken him an hour.

“Thank you for dinner. Goodbye, Mr. Stark.” Selina was pretty used to Luke’s way of thinking. After a stumped pause, she sat on the bike frame, since the bike didn’t have a backseat.

There were a lot of things that Tony Stark wanted to say, but he could only watch Luke and Seline leave.

He was somewhat jealous when he saw how close they were.

Aren’t you too shameless? One of them gulped down everything when she got here, and left once she was full, while the other even picked her up on a bike. Are you trying to piss me off?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Tony Stark drove his car up to them.

The two security cars followed behind him.

In less than a minute, his car caught up to the bike.

Tony Stark rolled down the window and shouted at Luke, “Boy, I’ll remember you. What’s your name?”

Luke glanced at him and said, “My name is Luke.”

Tony Stark sniffed. “Selina and I will hook up sooner or later.”

Luke smiled. “Well, I’m looking forward to it, but I think I’m the winner today.”

Tony Stark said disdainfully, “Boy, it’s easy if I want to win...”

Luke chuckled. “Of course, I have no doubt of that, but are you ready to pay the penalty?”

Tony Stark was stunned. “What are you talking about?”

Bang!

His car suddenly jerked to a stop, and Luke waved at him with a smile. “Farewell, Mr. Stark the Rich. You better get your car fixed first.”

It wasn’t until then that Tony Stark realized that he had hit a car that was parked on one side of the road.

Luke had covertly moved off the road since a while ago.

In order to talk to him, Tony Stark had subconsciously kept the car close to the bike.

As Luke talked to him and distracted him, the car had edged closer and closer to the kerb, until it finally hit another car that was parked next to the sidewalk.
