The door was pulled open, and Anthony appeared outside the door with a wicked smile on his face. "You left so early just now. I wonder if you're unhappy because I have not shown you enough hospitality." He leaned against the door with his hands in his pockets, but his eyes looked past Gilbert into the room.
Gilbert did not expose him, just calmly turning his body sideways. "You came over here so late. You're not here to apologize to me, are you?"
"Of course. After all, it is not like you would come here every day. So, as the host, I have got to receive you with warm hospitality." While speaking, Anthony walked in uninvited. The word 'host' also clearly declared that this was his territory.
Gilbert sneered. When he saw Anthony's eyes drifting around, he smiled and asked, "Are you looking for someone?"
Anthony's eyes turned to the couch, and he sat down. He then lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and said casually, "No. I just want to see if you have hired any call girls. If not, I can send you a few. Sure, to make you look back on this trip."
Gilbert sat on the side couch, sipping his tea, and chuckled. "Thank you for your kindness. It is just that ordinary women won't catch my eye."
Anthony narrowed his eyes and smiled. "That is right. After all, a beauty like Sharon is rare. Why would you look at other women when you have her? But…"
He let his words hang and took a drag, then chuckled. "I remember that your ex-wife isn't pretty by any standard. How come she has caught your eye and become your wife?"
Gilbert said nothing but just casually sipped his tea.
