Stephen denied the rumors and said he is only friends with Margaret. “Margaret was my dance partner at a charity event last year. We got along well and she felt that I was a hard-working individual. We kept in touch and she asked me to dance with her in two performances prior to the May 29th charity performance. The arrangements was made through TVB. From partners, we became friends. That’s it! I agree with Margaret’s perspective: you should not discriminate friendship based on race, age, nor background.”
Why did romantic rumors between Stephen and Margaret develop? “We had to meet frequently to practice our dance performances. Sometimes we would meet at dance instructor, Mr. Chow’s, place. Or we would go to ‘Dancin’ Jupiter,’ Margaret’s former dance school (she sold the school earlier). But she still rents the place for private dance practice. The location of my restaurant is on the same block as ‘Dancin’ Jupiter.’ I first learned that this restaurant space was available for leasing from talking with the instructors at ‘Dancin’ Jupiter.’”
“I always wanted to open a French restaurant, but I could not believe how the tabloids twisted the facts. I am angry and exasperated by their recent headlines. The reporters have a job, but the story they framed was terrible! Normally, I will not speak up, but they went too far this time. The men from my home town in Chaozhou believe that the men should pay for the bills. They will not use money from women. I worked hard to earn the investment for the restaurant. Margaret intends to sue the tabloid for libel.”
Stephen currently has a 25-year-old girlfriend named Peggy. They met a mutual friend’s birthday party last year. “That evening, Peggy did not say much, but I was attracted by her. I asked her out to dinner afterwards…. Our friends know that we are dating. Since I am an artist, I try to keep my dating life low-profile. Peggy understands this and we normally don’t hold hands when we go out together. When I practiced dancing with Margaret, I brought Peggy to the dance studio. Peggy is aware of what is going on.”
“Peggy just returned from studying in Canada.We have also met each other’s parents.” (Does that mean wedding bells are near?) “Not yet! I have to work harder first; a man should depend on himself. That’s why I am investing in a French restaurant. I am unafraid of working hard; I just want to provide a better future for my family.”
Allegedly, Peggy comes from a wealthy background. She lives in a multi-million dollar independent house in Sai Kung. “In selecting a girlfriend, I consider her personality and looks. I do not care if she has money or not. It’s okay if the woman is older than me by one or two years, but she can not be older than me by five years! Women have a mature level of thinking and they age faster. I really can not accept a woman who is a lot older than me!”
