“What is that?" he asked in confusion.
A self-mocking smile tugged at the corners of her mouth. ‘My body. My wealth, ' she thought.
It all depended on whether she was willing to give it or not.
That was the only reason why he would go through all this trouble to get close to her, make her happy and keep her company all along.
Evelyn didn't say anything on the way back to the guesthouse. Sheffield was a little annoyed because he had to Leave the next day. They silently parted at the entrance of the guesthouse, and went back to their own rooms.
It was getting dark. Evelyn stood in a corner, on the ground floor of the guesthouse, staring blankly at the small machine on the wall.
After hesitating for the longest time, Tayson walked up to her and said, "Miss, one week is not nearly enough to fall in love with someone wholeheartedly.”
Evelyn smiled. 'I know that. I'm not a teenager, ' she thought.
But to her, Sheffield felt special.
He was so special that when she knew that it was time to part with him, she wanted to give him an invaluable gift.
She was almost thirty, but had never been self-indulgent.
This was a good chance and she wanted to enjoy Life, at least for once...
Evelyn went to the machine and pulled out a small packet from it. She held it tightly in her hand.
"So, this is what a condom Looks like.’ She was seeing it for the first time.
Evelyn left the hall with the condom in her hand. Tayson frowned at the self-service machine.
A few minutes later, two men snuck towards the machine.
"Check if there's anyone coming," one of the men said.
"No. Hurry up!"
“Got it!" The man opened the machine and grabbed all the condoms. Then, he took out a needle from his pocket and poked it randomly on the condoms, while cursing between gritted teeth, “Humph! They have their own wives at home, yet they still fool around with other women. I hope they all get infected!"
"The needle eye is too small. Let's prick them a few more times," the other man suggested.
“But people will notice if the holes are too obvious.”
The other man replied, “Don't worry. No one would expect that someone would be crazy enough to come here and prick holes in the condoms."
"Okay!" They laughed and placed the damaged condoms back in the machine.
Sheffield was working on his laptop when someone knocked on his door.
He closed the laptop and opened the door.
