Sweet Twins

Women always suffer the most in situations like this. And Doris, a simple girl, had no idea how to protect herself from it.

"Yes, you are right. I swear, our relationship is strictly doctor and patient. My... ...umm, well, it has to recover!" Jay paused for a moment and then turned to Charles. "You know clearly the type of woman that I like, don't you, Charles? There is no way that I'll be attracted to a plain-looking woman, right?"

Jay's words stung Doris and she couldn't understand why. She knew that she didn't look especially enchanting, but she also knew that she was quite pretty compared to most other girls. She felt confused why Jay labeled her that way in front of Charles and Nancy.

"Well, that's true!" Charles agreed abruptly.

"I..." Doris started to speak but paused instantly. "Fortunately, Mr. Fang, I don't have any feelings for you. And why would I? Who do you think you are, anyway? Humph!"

Doris spoke her mind fast because of the storm of fury that ravaged her chest. She lowered her head after she spoke and focused on her food, ignoring her companions.

"Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to them. It will not get out of hand in just a short time," Charles whispered to Nancy. "Look at us. We've been together for such a long time and yet we haven't done it yet, right?" he then added jokingly. "Why are you worrying about them?" he asked.

Nancy's face flushed red. Charles could not resist any chance to make fun of her at all.

"Never mind him. And I will not say anything else about that. But Doris, you'd better know what you're doing," Nancy reminded. She would never speak that way to anyone else. Next to her mother, Doris was the closest person to her, and she never wanted anything bad to happen to her friend.

Not even the slightest!

"Come on now! Let's drink! I really hope that Mr. Fang would recover soon. The day that he would return to his rich playboy world would be the day that Doris would finally be free!" Charles didn't like the awkwardness in the air at all. So, he took out a bottle of a fine red wine, a few wine glasses and filled the glasses with the wine.

They quickly shifted to a more lively topic and chatted away the time. Soon, they quickly forgot the unpleasant conversation that they had earlier.

They conversed until it was almost midnight and ended the wine party after Nancy urged them to.

They said their goodbyes and then Charles drove Nancy back to her apartment. The trip was uneventful. When they reached her house, Nancy silently got out of the car but was surprised when Charles reached out and grabbed her hand.

"Why? What's wrong?" Nancy asked in a confused tone.
