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 t
turned out, the woman Sheffield was in love with was Evelyn. Needless to say, he needed all his luck to be with such a gorgeous woman.
"Isn't he here?" Evelyn broke the awkward silence.
"Yes, yes. Evelyn, come on in." They hurried to make way for her to come in.
The smell of wine was even stronger in the apartment. Several empty bottles of liquor and red wine were scattered on the floor. On the other side, Sheffield was lying on the sofa like a dead person. She frowned and asked, "How much wine have you guys had to drink?"
With an embarrassed smile, Joshua quickly pointed at the man on the sofa and said, "He had drunk the most. Gifford and I just had a little bit."
Gifford took a look at Joshua but didn't say anything. 'I do remember seeing him down an entire bottle all by himself.'
Joshua ran to Sheffield and kicked his long leg. "Hey man, look who's here! Get up. Evelyn is here..."
All of a sudden, Sheffield grabbed hold of Joshua's hand and yanked him.
Caught off guard, Joshua fell over Sheffield.
But luckily, before he landed on top of the drunken man, Joshua propped himself up on his hands against the sofa. Otherwise, he might have crushed the doctor to death.
Much to his surprise, Sheffield once again reached out his hands and pulled Joshua close to him, rubbing his head against his chest. "Evelyn, you're here. Give me a hug..."
Wrapped in Sheffield's arms, Joshua was at a loss for words.
Seeing such an odd scene, Gifford, Joshua and Evelyn all were rendered speechless.
Evelyn stifled her laughter and coughed. "I'm glad to see that you are all here keeping him company. Perhaps, I should leave. See you guys later."
