As soon as Michael uttered those words, Stanley did not dare to talk anymore and avoided him in a desperate manner.

After polishing off their skewers, Sophia and Michael went home together while a drunken Stanley held onto Sean for support as they walked off. Meanwhile, the ever-so-silent Sarah followed Sean closely behind since her family lived next door to him.

Their houses were just a stone’s throw away, and Sophia seemed quite happy as she walked along the way. One wouldn’t know if her good mood was due to the company’s performance or the fact that she just had some roadside skewers with her Lord.

She didn’t know that her Lord could also be so grounded and knew how to enjoy a good roadside skewer!

Michael wore some casual sports attire with a baseball cap. The brim of the cap shaded his face, so no one could recognize him as the shadow concealed his facial features.

The night under the neon lights of Bayside City was very subtle. Both of them walked in the faint halo of the street lights on the side of the road; their shadows entangled with each other as they went along, making it indistinguishable.

City management personnel had gone off work by then and all the vendor stalls were out. With a glance, Sophia caught sight of a ring tossing booth in front of her. She wanted to have a go at it, but she restrained herself since her Lord was there. Although her Lord had accompanied her for skewers, he would not necessarily associate himself with such lowly carnival games meant for the lower class.

Much to her surprise, Michael’s footsteps stopped right in front of the stall. He then invited her in a low voice, “Come on—should we play a game before going home?”

Sophia nodded excitedly upon hearing that.

Michael felt for his wallet, paid the fee and received 10 rings. As he held the rings in one hand, he asked Sophia, “Which prize do you want?”

 

Sophia glanced at the tiny booth and pointed to a pink piggy bank in the shape of a cat, “That pink cat!”

The bamboo ring glided through the air, trapping the piggy bank which Sophia had chosen earlier. Both Sophia and the stall owner were shocked. Wow, he’s
