Two more rounds in, Evelyn said, “Everything is ready except

Sheffield took the hint and discarded another tile.

"East Wind!" He had two east-wind tiles as the pair in his hand. But, he gave one up. He didn't care, as long as Evelyn was having fun.

She smiled and showed her tiles to everyone.

“Gentlemen, I have mahjong!"

Joshua and Gifford were stunned. Evelyn was new at mahjong after all.

"Oh," Evelyn said, looking at Sheffield. She realized that he had cheated to help her win. No wonder the other two remained silent during the game, without giving out hints.

Gifford snorted, "The lover gets the priority, huh? We are your friends; make us happy too!"

Sheffield retorted with no trace of guilt

I'LL betray you for my girlfriend any day

"Friends are important, but

"Is that so? Fine, we'll keep that in mind," Joshua said angrily.

The next round began. Now that Evelyn knew the rules, she had no intention of cheating again.
