Stanley grew increasingly confused, feeling his mind couldn’t keep pace. “Knowing that, you still let Andrea confront Rebecca? Aren’t you worried Rebecca might suffer badly?”

Jeffrey remained silent. He thought gains and losses were matters of personal choice.

Stanley spoke earnestly, “Take my advice. Don’t try keeping Rebecca through this method. Her stubborn nature won’t conform to your expectations.”

Jeffrey lifted his eyes to meet Stanley’s gaze. The latter straightened his posture and added, “I’ll say this even if you stare me down.”

Jeffrey toyed with his phone. “What evidence do you have that you’re right and I’m wrong?”

Stanley blinked, unable to think of any evidence.

“You’ve never been in a relationship or had long–term friendships with women,” Jeffrey said, landing the blow clean. “But I’ve spent five whole years with Rebecca.”

Stanley froze. He tried to argue using his own perspective but realized personalities varied. His previous arguments stemmed from his viewpoint. He wondered, ‘What if Rebecca actually responds to Jeffrey’s approach?

‘After all, compared to an outsider like me with minimal interactions, Jeffrey lived with her day in and day out for five years. He probably knows her better.

“But…” Stanley finally offered after consideration, “Nobody likes being targeted by a rival in love.”

Jeffrey’s gaze drifted, and he was lost in thought. Stanley fell silent.

After a long pause, Jeffrey suddenly asked, “Any upcoming parties or social events?”

“No,” Stanley replied, perplexed. “Why?”

Jeffrey absently rubbed his phone and didn’t reply.

“You never cared about these things before,” Stanley pressed.

“Is next Wednesday the exact 10th anniversary of PrimePlay Technologies?” Jeffrey asked, recalling the information he had casually glanced at and thinking of an idea.

Stanley, who had a clearer memory of such matters, replied, “Yes.”
