As soon as Tiffany left, the guest room door opened from the inside.
Charles raised an eyebrow at the man standing at the door. "Were you really sleepwalking?"
Vincent lightly glanced at him. "I've been emotionally unstable lately. Perhaps I'm under too much pressure at work."
Charles laughed. "You'd only be able to trick Tiffany. Don't try to lie to me. Tell me, how did you two spend last night?"
Hearing that, Vincent was a little speechless. "Didn't you promise her not to tell me?"
Charles shrugged. "I only promised her not to tell you that she came out of your room. What I'm asking now is how you two got along. These are two different things."
"I don't remember."
Charles squinted. "But you slept with her. Shouldn't you take responsibility?"
After staying silent for a moment, Vincent replied, "You're right."
Charles was confused. "I've never known what it was about Kelly that you like. It'd make more sense for you to have a crush on Tiffany. Kelly has been in your company for more than a year. If you had feelings for her, you would've made her your girlfriend long ago. You wouldn't have waited until now."
"What did you say?" Vincent abruptly looked up.
Charles was stunned for a moment. "I said, if you had feelings for Kelly, you would've made her your girlfriend long ago. You wouldn't have waited until now—"
"The sentence before that!"
"...I've never known what it was about Kelly that you like?"
"Not this!" Vincent looked like he was going to hit Charles, making him a little afraid.
"It'd make more sense for you to have a crush on Tiffany—"
"You're right!" Vincent's eyes sparkled as he reached out to pat Charles' shoulder heavily. "This is the problem! I should've figured it out earlier!"
