Chapter 211


    Chapter 211 Roxanne frowned slightly and was


    about to reject Hugo Reynolds. Meanwhile, escaping from the crowd on the dance floor, Madilyn sat be


    side her directly and started to give Hugo a once–


    over.Hugo had an elegant appearance. His chiseled facial features remained obvious under the bar‘s di


    m light. Although Hugocked a fit body, he was not too skinny. Besides, judging from his attire, Madily


    n could tell that his outfit cost about one hundred thousand.Hmm. I guess I can give him an eight out of


    ten? After rating him inwardly, Madilyn agreed before Roxanne could decline him, “Sure! Do you have a


    ny friends? Ask them toe over!”


    Hugo‘s table was right next to theirs. In fact, he had noticed them earlier when both of them


    danced together. Hence, he knew that they came together. Hearing Madilyn‘s agreement, Hugo did not


    hesitate and asked his friends to join their table. His friends were good–


    looking, and all of them dressed in expensive clothes. As they approached the table, they brought alon


    g their wine.As they came over, Hugo‘s friends were polite enough to maintain a reasonable distance fr


    om Roxanne and Madilyn.Upon scrutinizing the guys, Madilyn raised her brows as she questioned, “Yo


    u guys are quite good–looking. Are all of you single?”They responded, “How


    dare we sit here if we aren‘t single?”Then, Madilyn swept a meaningful gaze at Hugo who had just appr


    oached her table. “How about him? Is he single as well?


    Hugo merely smiled at his friends, hinting that he did not mind them telling her the truth.“Hugo‘s been si


    ngle for years. We have no idea what kind of women he‘s interested in anymore. However, today…” As


    they replied, they cast him teasing nces.Hearing that, Hugo beamed and interrupted, “Stop talking. L


    et‘s have a drink, shall we?”In unison, his friends swiftly changed the topic.After having small talk with t


    he guys, Madilyn got along well with everyone and soon filled the air with chatter.In reality, Roxanne ca


    me to the bar to drink her sorrows away. Facing that situation, she had no choice but to appear unruffle


    d in front of everyone, despite feeling ufortable.  Meanwhile, Madilyn was having a great time, and


    she moved to sit


    between the guys afterward. Subsequently, she yed some drinking games with the others, leaving RC0ntent ? 2024 (N/?)velDrama.Org.


    oxanne to sit all alone at the side.There was a space between Roxanne and Hugo after Madilyn left.“I‘


    m sorry. Did we interrupt both of you?” Hugo asked apologetically.Hearing his question, Roxanne was b


    riefly stunned. “Don‘t worry. We‘re all


    here to have a drink. You‘re not disturbing us at all.” She smiled faintly.He frowned and asked, “You don


    ‘t seem to


    be in the mood for it. Are you in a bad mood?”Roxanne pressed her lips into a smile, admitting it silently


    . At


    the same time, it showed her reluctance to continue the conversation with him.Nheless, her indiffer


    ence toward him piqued Hugo‘s interest.Hugo could tell that she was unbothered to continue the conve


    rsation. Hence, he drank alone slowly at the side while fixing his eyes on Roxanne‘s face.At the side, M


    adilyn noticed that the two of


    them were drinking alone. That very sight pulled at Madilyn‘s heartstrings. To break the ice, she sugges


    ted ying a card game whereby the person who got the King of Hearts card


    could instruct anyone to do anything.Before Roxanne could refuse, Madilyn swiftly shoved a card into R


    oxanne‘s hand while she took the King of Hearts card.“Seven of Spades and Five of Diamonds.”Everyo


    ne looked at


    their cards.Looking at the Five of Diamonds card in her hand, Roxanne could feel a foreboding feeling


    growing in her heart.Madilyn gazed at her indifferently and voiced, “Since


    we know each other, I won‘t be requesting much. How about both of you drink a crossed–


    cup wine with each other? It‘s not too much to ask for, right?”It was indeed a simple request in a drinkin


    g game. Refusing to be a total buzzkill, Roxanne agreed to Madilyn‘s request with a smile.Hugo flipped


    his card, only to see he got a Seven of Spades. He nced at Madilyn the matchmaker helplessly


    before turning to Roxanne and said, “Let‘s just clink our sses instead of drinking a crossed–


    cup wine.”Seeing the Seven of Spades in Hugo‘s hand, Roxanne could feel her heart sink slightly. It wa


    s at that moment she realized Madilyn‘s intention to match them up. She regretted agreeing to her requ


    est that readily.However, Roxanne heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what Hugo said. Then, she rais


    ed her ss to clink it against Hugo‘s ss.
