Daniel Mayer

At the social event, Lewis had already drunk eight glasses of wine and seemed to have lost track of time. He cast a mocking glance at Christopher Harris and, head held high, vanished into the crowd. Although his head was spinning slightly, Fletcher had already picked up a ninth glass and had no intention of stopping.

"Lewis?" a voice spoke.

Fletcher didn't recognize his "partner's" voice right away. Then again, after a hundred affairs, one probably starts forgetting, right? Lewis turned toward Daniel Mayer.

"Ah, you..." Lewis pursed his lips.

He had planned to spend the night with a young secretary from his office, but Daniel apparently had other plans. Mayer himself cheated almost as much, so what did he want?

"Want to come back to my place? We can drink. The wine here isn't great, and the event is boring," Daniel suggested.

Lewis narrowed his eyes. Actually, the wine here was perfectly fine. Fletcher himself had already drunk nine... or was it ten? Regardless, it didn't matter. He agreed.

...

Fletcher entered the spacious apartments, which he felt he had seen many times before. Without bothering with unnecessary formalities, he took off his expensive coat and carelessly tossed it onto a cabinet next to the coat rack. Daniel didn't say a word.

Half an hour later, Lewis was already intoxicated. The third bottle of French wine turned out to be far from the light champagne Daniel had promised.

"I heard you got a new girlfriend," Mayer suddenly said, grinning predatorily. Or did it just seem that way to Fletcher?

Daniel shifted slightly in his chair and leaned forward, awaiting Lewis's answer.

Daniel Meyer is a civil servant in a relationship with Lewis. However, their union is based on codependency, and both partners are aware of this. They both frequently cheat on each other (Lewis more often), and this doesn't surprise them. Lewis is a people magnet, easily attracting the attention of both women and men. A blond with aristocratic features, beautiful gray eyes, and a slender figure. Daniel understands that with such looks and excellent manners, Fletcher has no trouble charming girls. But Meyer wanted to change everything.
