Hold My Tear, I’m Getting My Wife Back!

In the heart of summer, after a hectic week, a group of old friends decided to catch up over the weekend, picking a newly opened bar for their reunion.

Due to an unexpected delay in his afternoon meeting, Phillip arrived a half-hour late.

Time-tested friendships like theirs weren't easily shaken by trivial matters. When Phillip entered the bar, his friends were having burgers and beers, deeply engrossed in a lively discussion. Shrugging off his blazer and draping it over the back of a chair, Phillip took his seat. One of his friends gestured subtly with a nod, signaling Phillip to take notice of something.

Another friend, adopting a tone of mock solemnity, interjected, "What are you talking about? Phillip's only love is his career."
