"What is it that she has given you Adam?"

How much did she pay you to solicit on her behalf?

He dropped the cup in his hand and opened his Bank app

What are you talking about, Adam asked

I will pay you double of whatever she gave you. Tell me the amount

Shane burst into laughter as he made fun of Adam

"I know you wouldn't stop until you get insulted, don't you know how to just mind your own business?" Shane said as he laughed

Am serious Adam, give me the figure, Mark replied impatiently

"How can you think of me this way" Adam pointed angrily at Shane.

"You are too despicable"

Mark, I never received anything from Sarah, I haven't even met her before. "You have to believe me". He adjusted himself well, I am trying to help you

You care so much about her, why not marry her the moment we divorce, don't worry I haven't touched her yet, not that I want to anyway, he smirked

"Stop giving me headache please". The both of you can have this talk later when am not there, Shane rebuked them

You haven't seen me or been to my house in a long time and now that you are here, what are you doing? Mark asked Adam

"You won't stop talking about Sarah". Whose side are you on? He faced Adam and expects a direct answer from him

You guys are just annoying, Shane stares at the both of them.

"He says he doesn't want her again, can you force him to be with someone he doesn't want?"

Why are you so adamant Adam, mind your business. Shane pours himself another glass of wine.

"I would rather enjoy the sweetness of this wine than listen to the both of you"

"I support whatever decision you make Mark, you have me on your side" Shane told Mark

Mark clicked his wine cup with Shane, "I know you understand me the most". I will definitely get that employment letter and probably be her boss, that would be amazing.

"He smirked and clicked his wine cup again with Shane." Then I can marry who I love this time right in front of her

Adam who is pushed to the side looked at the both of them and shook his head

I can understand you Shane, you don't have any woman you love or who loves you either. You can't give any better advice

"Just leave me out of these, like you are any better than me" Shane responded. How I choose to live my life is my business, he made his decision already, stop pushing your opinion on him

But Mark, what you say contradict your emotions and facial reactions. If you have really falling in love with her, you better not loose her! Adam retorted

Though Mark said he doesn't have any feelings for Sarah and also would go ahead with the divorce, he looked worse than someone who had lost his most priced treasure

Shane interrupted Adam, does this look say he is in love with her? When did you become a phychologist?

"If you were to see clearly, his look says he is fed up of your nagging". Shane turned his back at Adam.

"You nag like a woman"

You should be glad am in a good mood, Adam, I really don't want to talk about it, it is my life my decision, do you get it now?

Mark stopped the both of them from arguing any further

Moreover, I don't want to argue or fight with my best friends because of someone I don't want to be with. Mark looked at Adam with pleading eyes, let it go, it's my decision at the end.

"I called the both of you here so we could have fun like old times"

Adam did not know how to refute that. Truly the decision is Mark's, but he really doesn't know why he is so concerned for Mark.

Maybe because he heard Mark confess about his love for Sarah when he was drunk or the way he has been more attentive to situations around her.

He just doesn't want him to regret his stubborn decision later
