Winner Takes All

Shirley tossed and turned restlessly in her bed. She did not sleep that night.

She didn't expect that Jack would turn her down. She spent so much time to please him.

She was confident that she could nail any man as expected.

However, Shirley felt frustrated in the face of Jack.

Moreover, she showed her affection towards Jack as she apologized that night.

Because of that, she decided to show her affection for him continuously.

She knew that even if she couldn't get together with Jack, she could get more benefits from him as an ordinary friend, compared with Tommy.

It was true that she wanted to marry Tommy. But if she could get more benefits, she wouldn't mind doing what she can to gain more. At worst, she will look for others to as a backup.

However, Jack's response drove her crazy!

Next morning, she was grumpy when Tommy gave her a morning call.

She was agitated as she shrieked, "Tommy! It is still early in the morning! Can’t you just be so annoying?"

"Shirley, I thought this is the wake-up call we agreed upon?" Tommy was alarmed.

"I don't need it! I was sleepless for a whole night!" Shirley fidgeted and scratched her hair.

"What? You can’t sleep? I'm going upstairs. Shirley, since you're so tired, don't go to work today." Tommy's heart ached.

As soon as she heard the phrase "go to work", Shirley was agitated. She was fed up with Tommy's helpless care.

"Don't go to work? Since you are so free, why don't you have some concern about the bride price? Are we still getting engaged? If you don't want to, then let's break up."

Tommy said anxiously, "Shirley, don't worry. My family is finding ways to raise money. I am sure I'll raise enough money for the bride price on our engagement day!"
