Sean gently sipped on his cup of coffee. His delicate manicures had crystals on them, which were glittering.
“I’ve always liked being a girl since I was at a young age, but my family wouldn’t let me. My father passed away when I was little and my mother has remarried. I never had a lot of friends back then, and only Stan was willing to play with me. He never disliked me.
I initially wanted to confess to Stan right after we’ve completed the college entrance examination, but I didn’t expect Stan to actually go serve in the army. My family has sent me overseas for psychotherapy, and that’s when I went abroad.”
Sean must have been in despair at that moment… Sophia patted Sean on the shoulder. “As a matter of fact, Stan likes men as well. It’s just that he has been charmed by his uncle recently. Wait until he sees the best in you, then he’ll surely accept you.”
Sophia nodded. “Yup. I can assure you that he’s in love with his uncle, Michael.”
Sean could not hold back his laughter. “Sophia, stop joking around. I’m sure Stan is heterosexual and he only worships his uncle. Stop taking it wrongly.”
“Err…” Stanley is actually heterosexual? Is he not a little boy who was brought up by Michael? I had even seen them at home… Hmm, wait, have I mistaken them as gays because of my own prejudiced thoughts?
Sean was even more sensitive than girls. He had probably guessed the thought Sophia had in mind now, and he could no longer hold in his laughter. “Sophia, you really did misunderstand him. Although he has never been in a romantic relationship before, he has always liked girls since he was young.”
With that being said, Sophia felt like there was a need for herself to redefine the relationship between Michael and his bunch of homosexual friends. Could it be possible that my Tay Tay doesn’t like men??
“I’m sure Mr. Michael likes men, but as for Stanley, he’s definitely straight.”
It was Sophia’s turn to feel upset now. Alright then. So my Tay Tay does like men. I can match up to him in every single way, all except my gender. What a miserable thing!
Now, it seemed like both Sophia and Sean were in a similar position; they were both leading a miserable life!
Sean kept silent for a short while before he said, “I’ve grown up with Stan, and I have never seen him so deeply in love with someone. Sophia, you’re the first one. If it’s possible, I think you can…”
Sophia refused right away. “I’m emotionally unavailable.”
This topic had ended right at that point.
Sean and Sophia had remained silent right until Stanley returned.
After the three of them had finished dinner, they had gone back to their respective houses. Before they bid each other goodbye, Stanley had reminded Sophia once again. “Sophia, you’ve met Shirley earlier, and you really should feel threatened now. A man like me really is heavily sought-after!”
“No thanks.” Sophia then got into the car before Hale stepped on the gas pedal and drove off the scene.
As he watched Sophia gradually vanishing from his sight, Stanley was slightly disappointed. Nonetheless, his disappointment did not remain for long. He then held a cigarette between his lips and looped an arm around Sean’s shoulders as they headed toward the cybercafe.
“Let’s go play some games. When the day I become the international champion comes, she will definitely be deeply in love with me.”
Sophia would always return at night. The castle-like mansion was all lit up and warm light was seeping through the windows. Silhouettes of people could be seen passing by the corridors, and it seemed pretty lively in there.
Sophia pushed open the door to find two gilded invitation envelopes on the table placed in the living room. When she opened it, it was an invitation to Richard and Kayla’s engagement party.
She held the gilded invitation in her hands and kept silent.
After Richard had taken over Glory Entertainment, he had slept with nearly all the female celebrities. Moreover, Nicole’s issue had made a tremendous row. How could his engagement with Xyla not be affected by it? It was going to take place as scheduled, and they seemed to have purposely made it even grander.
Marriage of the wealthy families, huh? But how did he send these invitations here anyway? Surely Richard didn’t come here personally, right?
