“No, I'm not your master! Get out of my sight!" Vernon spat and sat down in his armchair.

"You show up here, unannounced, and you expect me to take care of you? When was the last time you came here to see me when you didn't need anything? You're nothing but an ungrateful wretch.

Just get out!"

Sheffield trotted towards him and apologetically said, "I'm here now. I could have gone to the hospital, but I came all the way here to see you, didn't I?"

Vernon snorted, "You came all the way here to see me? Then where is my gift? Your blood?"

“What do you mean? Master, what could I possibly give to you that you don't have? You have everything! Right?"

“Wrong! You know nothing! I hoped that perhaps one day you would come to me with a gift, as a token of your gratitude. To be honest, it’s not about the gift, you idiot. It's the thought that counts!" Vernon glared angrily at Sheffield and was about to hit him again when Sheffield hastily took a step back this time.

“Master, I'm sorry. It's my fault.

I'LL bring you a gift next time. I'm in a hurry now. I have to—"

“What do you have to do?" Vernon interrupted him.

"I... I meed to go and see my girlfriend.”

Vernon, however, grew angrier upon hearing that.

“What? So you only have time for your girlfriend, but you don't have time for me? Get out!" Vernon started to push him out as he spoke.

"No, it's not like that. I did something stupid. I have hurt her. I going to apologize to her and I need to go as soon as possible!"

“What did you do? Did you cheat on her?"

“Why would you say that? I'm not that kind of a person!" Sheffield was ashamed to be thought of as a playboy after he started seeing Evelyn

Vernon, however, said, “You are exactly that kind of a person! Do I have to remind you of all your past conquests and romantic escapades?

The women?"

Sheffield was rendered speechless. After thinking for a while, he said,

“That was a long time ago! I'd like for you to meet her. I think I actually have serious feelings for her."

"You want me to treat you? Fine!"

Vernon suddenly gave in, and a bad feeling rose in Sheffield's heart

“What do I have to do in return?" asked Sheffield.

“I want you to stay here tonight with me, and tomorrow you can leave when you want to.”

“No way. I'm flying out to France tomorrow afternoon. I've just told you I am in a hurry to apologize to my girlfriend. But, after I come back from France, I'LL come here to visit you and bring you a gift, I promise. What do you say?"
