18 Floors Above the Apocalypse

Chapter 284

Upon hearing the voice, Cody and Lukas snapped to his feet, "Evan."

Just as she feared, Evan seemed to be an unshakeable presence. Stella was that close to biting into her juicy meat.

Evan nodded, "You are Stella?"

Stella smiled, "Good to see you again, Evan."

After exchanging pleasantries, Evan, with a smile on his face, didn't seem to be leaving.

What to do when the boss didn't leave? Cody reacted quickly, immediately pulling up a chair for him, "Come on, Evan, have a seat. We're having a little get-together. If you don't mind, would you like something to eat or drink?" "Am I intruding?"

Cody couldn't tell the truth, "Well, not at all."

"Alright then." Evan signaled for the waiter and ordered another round of barbecue.

Cody pulled out a glass, pouring beer for Evan.

Evan picked up the beer and sniffed it, "Hmm, this beer is good. It's been three years since the disaster, and it hasn't expired."

"Bran gave it as an apology." Stella said with a hint of awkwardness, her face calm as a summer's day, "I don't know how they preserved it, but they did a good job."

Evan laughed, "Ah, the Porras family's beer, that's good stuff. Let me try."

Sensing Stella's slight discomfort, Cody quickly changed the subject, "Evan, try the barbecue."

The barbecue was a bit damp in the thermal box and cooled off quickly once taken out, but it still tasted great.

Evan praised while eating, "Hmm, I don't know who cooked this, but it tastes more authentic than the takeouts before the disaster."

and a woman was a natural part of life, but without protection, it could easily lead to fatal consequences. Lukas and Angela had been living together for several years, but Cody was still new at this, constantly repressing his desires. Not only Cody, but ever since Angela had her miscarriage, Lukas had also abstained from any physical intimacy. It felt like there were tons of dynamite buried in his body. Day
