True Love Waits

Joshua agreed with Sheffield on this. After all, he had walked in on the doctor having sex with Evelyn, twice-once in the nightclub and the other time in a car. "I just want to ask you what other places you haven't tried with Evelyn," he said.

"Ah, man! Too many places!" Sheffield turned off the vacuum cleaner and grabbed the mop. "I'll try it with Evelyn in many other places: a park, a riverbank, a beach, a mountain, the company, or a tree... And I want to try it on your bed too."

"My bed?" Joshua lit a cigarette. "Okay, let's take a step back. First of all, you're a pervert. You need to see a shrink. However, would you be interested in a threesome?" he added.

"Would you be interested in getting run over by my car?" Sheffield cast him a cold glare.

Joshua was rendered speechless. After all, it wasn't him that started this verbal battle.

Half an hour later

While biting into a succulent piece of meat, Gifford looked at the man with a bottle of liquor in his arms. Turning his face, he said to Joshua in a confused tone, "He is being a little weird today, don't you think?" Joshua comfortably leaned his back on the sofa, sitting with one leg over the other and said, "Yeah. There's a picture of his woman with another man on the Internet. Everyone's been cheering them and giving them their blessings. No wonder he's acting weird today."

Gifford looked puzzled. "Why?"

"Oh, because everyone thinks that the other man is her boyfriend. Sheffield is just her secret lover that nobody knows about."

Gifford's eyes shot up in bewilderment. How could such a popular and experienced playboy like Sheffield be reduced to such a miserable state? "That woman is not simple by any means. The fact that she could convince Sheffield to willingly be her secret lover, is a testament to her unwavering deviousness." Joshua laughed.

Sheffield squinted his eyes and yelled at him, "Don't speak ill of her like that!"

"Wow! Why are you so protective of her?" Gifford pulled out a piece of roasted duck and devoured it happily.

Sheffield yawned and took another sip of wine. Pensively staring at the liquid inside the bottle, he couldn't help but think of Evelyn again. 'I miss you, Evelyn,' he thought gloomily.

Swirling the glass of red wine casually, Joshua decided to fill Gifford in on what had happened. "Today, our Maestro Tang got stood up by his woman. Not only had he suffered the loss of money for the two first- class flight tickets, when he rushed back to look for her, he also had to watch his woman leave in another man's car."
