“Oscar Clinton, how shameless can you be?” Carter sarcastically asked.
Sara
“What is causing you such great angst, Mr. Scott? Sex between a married couple can‘t possibly be called shameful, can it? Don‘t tell me a grown man like you is still a virgin!” Oscar teased.
Carter took a sip of alcohol to mask his sorrow.
“Mr. Scott, this bar is famous for its beauties. All it takes is a snap of your fingers, and they will flock to you.” Oscar continued to push him.
Carter just quietly drank his liquor, lost in thoughts.
Oscar lifted his glass and started drinking too. For a rare moment, a sense of peace prevailed.
Finally, Carter broke the silence. “Mr. Clinton, please treat Amelia well. She had a hard life. Outwardly, she may seem to be fearless, but she has a really kind and gentle soul. If you are the one she loves, I am willing to retreat and watch over her from a distance.”
Oscar was tickled. “Mr. Scott, are you playing the role of a melodramatic second male lead?”
Carter was not disturbed by Oscar‘s comment. “The male lead usually has affairs with different women while the second male lead is destined to watch over the heroine. If Amelia is meant to be the female lead of this drama, then I will willingly take the supporting role. I will do anything so long as she can be happy.”
Oscar laughed out loud. “What a passionate man you are, Mr. Scott. Unfortunately, this act does not sit well with me. You should be grateful I am not bashing you up for eyeing my woman.”
Carter can only put on a miserable smile. He composed himself and said, “Mr. Clinton, how about we reconcile and enjoy a drink together?”
“Reconcile? Were we ever in conflict, Mr. Scott?” Oscar questioned.
e
Carter was caught off guard. “No. No conflict at all. Everything happens for a reason.
Let‘s drink to our acquaintance!” He laughed it off.
Oscar summoned the servers and asked for the best booze they have. He mixed the different booze, creating a potent cocktail. “The whole idea of drinking is to get high. You wouldn‘t mind this, would you?” He challenged Carter.
One can never show any sign of weakness in the face of their competitor. Carter took a glass of the cocktail and downed it. “Impressive! Come, have another,” Oscar urged.
“Shouldn‘t Mr. Clinton have one yourself?” Carter countered.
Oscar took a glass and did a bottoms–up too.
“Well done, Mr. Clinton,” Carter reciprocated.
And with that, they took turns to down glass after glass and finished the few bottles in no time. They held their drinks well and were amazingly sober.
“Mr. Scott, you sure can hold your liquor,” Oscar praised.
