Yvette gave Mnie a push. “Your guy is here to pick you up.”


    Hugh walked in and passed Mnie the fruit juice. He said matter–of–factly, “I saw lots of people buying this on my way here.”


    Mnie had never had specialty drinks like this since she graduated from university. She raised an eyebrow. Before she said anything, Yvette said excitedly, “This brand has been really popr recently. There’s always a long queue at that ce.”


    She looked enviously at Mnie. “You’re so lucky.”


    Mnie smiled as she took the cup from Hugh. She asked him, “Did Yvonne make you buy this?”


    Hugh replied, “She insisted that this is what a boyfriend should get his girlfriend.”


    “When are you nning to get one for her?” Yvette had gone off, and Mnie became more casual with her conversation.


    Mnie had been in his position before and knew Hugh had feelings for Yvonne.


    She looked at the words ‘Only One‘ on the cup and smiled. She ced the fruit juice back in Hugh’s hands.


    Before she pulled away, Mnie’s phone rang. It was a call from Lee. He asked, ” Are you still in the conference hall?”


    “Yes, I am.”


    “Wait for us. Mr. Scott and I are on our way. Didn’t someone throw something from the second floor the other day? There’s a surveince camera at the top that wasn’t turned off. We’ll being over with the police.”


    Lee hung up after that. Mnie remembered the teapot that was thrown down the other day and looked upstairs.


    Mnie had an idea of who the culprit was, but she wanted to see Eugene try to talk his way out of that person’s crime.


    Lee and the others arrived very soon. That was when Mnie found out that they were supposed toe over after meeting with a client, but the police suddenly requested them toe over.


    Mnie had no idea that Lee had reported this to the police. No one had told her about it.


    Chaumet 621


    Hugh had not left and stayed with Mnie. She wanted him to go, but he refused. The first thing Eugene saw when he got out of the car was Hugh and Mnie. standing together. The young man was taller than Eugene. He made Mnie look. petite and adorable when he stood next to her.


    She was looking up at Hugh and saying something. There was an exasperated look in her eyes, but she was smiling. Hugh and Mnie seemed to be getting along very well.


    Mnie looked at Hugh and said softly, “You really listen to everything Yvonne says. What did she do to make you so obedient?”


    Hugh replied, “She paid me.”


    “Haven’t you thought of the possibility that I’m the one paying you 5,000 a day?” Mnie shook her head. “Why won’t you listen to me instead?”


    She heard footsteps behind her, and a man’s low voice was heard speaking, “The police are here. Don’t you want to go upstairs and have a look at the surveince footage?”


    Mnie’s and Hugh’s expressions became more serious when Eugene appeared. Mnie turned to nce at Eugene. “I do.”


    It was winter, and the sky turned dark earlier. The lights on the road lit up the space between Mnie and Eugene in the thin mist of the night.


    The light made it look like there was a barrier between them.


    Mnie and Hugh stood on one side while Eugene stood on the other side.


    His dark eyes stared at Mnie for a while before he suddenly moved. He looked like he wanted to go to her.


    However, Mnie turned to hold Hugh on the arm before Eugene approached her. “You shoulde with me.”


    She held Hugh’s hand, and they walked past Eugene.


    Hugh followed behind her as he looked at Eugene’s face before walking away.


    Eugene stood motionless. The lights shone on his shoulders. He looked calm, but there was a barren, empty look in his deep, dark eyes.
