If the need arises, just apologize to your grandfather and tell him you’re dating Evelyn. Once the media gets wind of that, they’ll forget this ever happened!”

“I don’t agree,” Abel said curtly. “I would rather the whole city think I’m gay than to lie and say I’m dating Evelyn Murphy.”

“You… You…!! Hgghhh!” Lewis wheezed angrily.

“Father, please calm down,” Abel told Lewis. “It’s no big deal, I’ll handle it.”

“You’ll handle it? Pfft! I’ll watch and see how you handle it!” Lewis slammed the phone down.
