Faux Vows, True Desires

"Are you coming out, or should I go in?"

Stefan frowned, "Can't we discuss this over the phone?"

"I'd like to talk face to face."

Owen said irritably, "Stefan, I'm begging you, can we meet in person?"

Stefan laughed, "Owen, you're actually begging me."

"That's right, I'm begging you. So, are you coming out, or should I go in?"

Owen felt like he'd lost all dignity in front of Stefan because of love.

He used to do this for Ruby, and now it's for Cecilia.

"Alright, considering you've helped me out before, you can come in. I'll have Emma open the door for you."

Stefan stopped laughing and agreed to let Owen in.

Owen expressed his thanks and then hung up the phone.

"What's going on?"

Lucinda asked concernedly, "What was Owen begging you for?"

"He didn't say, just mentioned that he had something important to discuss with me. I'm not sure what he and I can possibly talk about. From his voice on the phone, I could tell he was really stressed out." Stefan took the hairdryer from Lucinda again, "Let me dry your hair first before I go see him."

"I can do it myself, and you go see him, see what urgent matter he needed your help with. When I had problems before, although it was Cecilia who asked for his help, he still helped out. We owe him a favor." Stefan said, "I've already thanked him personally and even paid him a sum of money as a reward. Your good friend paid with her marriage for this. If anything, you only owe your friend, not Owen."
