Ca knew there <b>was </b>no <b>way </b>this dinner could continue, <b>so </b><b>she </b><b>got </b>up.
Ste was angered by Mnie and had already <b>lost </b>her appetite. Grabbing her bag<b>, </b>she <b>left </b>the
restaurant.
Mnie took out her phone to send a message to Xander and the others <b>to </b>inform them that she would not be home tonight.
That was when she heard Ca ask, “How are <b>you </b>nning to <b>go </b>home when the rain <b>is </b><b>so </b>heavy, Miss Smith?”
Ca had not done anything to anger her, <b>after </b>all. Mnie replied, <b>“</b>I’ll just book a room in a nearby hotel.”
There was a hesitant look on Ca’s face. “The nearest hotel would take you ten minutes<b>. </b><b>It </b>won’t <b>be </b>easy to get a taxi when it’s raining so heavily.<b>” </b>
<b>“</b><b>I’ll </b>leave after it slows down.”
Mnie did not mind.
An arrogant and conceited voice was heard above her head. Eugene asked sarcastically, ” Xander Solomon isn’t willing to pick <b>you </b>up during a heavy rain?”
Mnie replied with indifference, “What does this have to do with you, Mr. Scott?”
A dark look appeared in Eugene’s eyes. His gaze looked even darker than the sky outside. Don’t be stupid, Mnie Smith.
Mnie looked up. Did Eugene just tell her not to be stupid?
Hah!
She lowered her eyes, and there was impatience and annoyance in her tone. “You’re too conceited, Eugene Scott.”
He was always pointing out her faults from a higher ce. He belittled her and ignored her. <b>If </b>she was stupid, the most stupid thing she had ever done was be with Eugene wholeheartedly. While they were crossing swords verbally<b>, </b>the ringing of Eugene’s phone interrupted them. He looked at his phone and frowned when he saw who the caller <b>was</b>.
Henry was heard saying unhappily<b>, </b>“There’s a thunderstorm today. I remember Mel suffers from night blindness. I wonder if she’s out of her house. Can you be more attentive and give her a <b>call </b>to find out where she <b>is</b><b>?</b><b>” </b>
Eugene frowned. “You don’t <b>need </b>to worry about my affairs.”
“How can I not worry? If I don’t worry<b>, </b>you’ll bring home that brainless woman. I’m warning you, Eugene<b>. </b><b>If </b><b>you </b>don’t want <b>to </b>end up like your father, you’d better treat Mel better!”
Henry’s voice was quite loud. Even Ca and Mnie could hear him vaguely.
Mnie slowly clenched her hand.
She and Henry had only spent two short years together and he still remembered that she had
night blindness.
Eugene looked down, and his gaze <b>fell </b>on her tightly clenched fist.
He tried to suppress the sarcasm in his voice as he replied unhappily to Henry, “Treat her <b>better</b>? Do <b>you </b>think she’ll be grateful to you if I did that?”
Eugene hung up after that. His gaze remained on Mnie. There was a chilling, look in his dark eyes that he did not bother to hide.
<b>After </b>a while, a look of impatience shed across his face. “Didn’t you hear what the old man said?”
Mnie did not show much reaction. “Hear what?”
The rain was really heavy, and even in the night, they could see the rain forming long lines under the streetlights.
Ca said softly, “Miss Smith, it doesn’t matter if you’re going to a hotel or going home, it’s better for Eugene to give you a lift. The rain is really heavy, and we have no idea when it’ll stop. Moreover, there’s an old man out there who’s very worried for you.”
Mnie looked hesitant when Ca mentioned Henry<b>, </b>but she quickly hid her emotions<b>. </b>
When she was about to reject the offer, her phone rang.
It was Henry.
Mnie did not feel like picking up the call. She had a feeling that this call hade too coincidentally.
