The Wrong Woman

After getting out of the car, Candice strode toward the villa.

Mervyn got out of the car as well and chased after her.

Candice quickly ran into the villa. She slammed the door shut and locked it.

Mervyn banged on the door from outside.

Candice didn't open the door but slowly walked into the house.

Hearing the commotion, Elio lowered his arm and looked toward the entrance.

He hadn't expected Candice to come back. His sorrowful eyes showed a glimmer of hope. He sat up straight and stared at her with teary eyes. At that moment, the knocking outside ceased.

Candice stood before him and looked down at Elio who was seated on the sofa. She said, "Mervyn said you've coveted me for a long time. Is that true?" Elio nodded reluctantly.

Candice nervously clenched her fists. She asked, "Do you know what 'covet' means?"

Elio replied, "Yes, I know. It means desiring something that doesn't belong to you."

Candice asked sadly, "Why can't you use a different word? For example, you can say you like me."
