The woman with Hunter was indeed Mrs. Brown. Le had caught them red-handed on Hunter’s couch before. It was Hunter’s birthday, and Le had been visiting Mrs. Patel in Yort City. She rushed back to surprise him with a birthday cake. The surprise turned into a shock when she opened the door to see them in the passion on the sofa.


    Who noticed her first, she couldn’t remember… Amidst the chaos, Hunter had knelt, apologized, and shamelessly imed he did it for their future happiness. For their happiness, he slept with another woman?


    Le drifted into her memories…


    Suddenly, her arm was grabbed, and Mason pulled her out of the stairwell.


    Le looked up at him in surprise. Before she could ask, the stairwell door opened behind them, and Hunter and Mrs. Brown emerged.


    Le turned at the sound, and Hunter’s face turned pale when he saw her. “Le.”


    Unlike Hunter’s panic, Le remained calm andposed. “Mr. Brown was just looking for Mrs. Brown.”


    Hunter’s face turned even paler, and he pushed the woman beside him.


    Mrs. Brown scoffed and walked away.


    As Mrs. Brown walked away, Hunter tried to reach for Le’s hand.


    Le stepped back, her voice cold, “I have an early meeting tomorrow. I need to leave soon.”


    Hunter stepped forward again, “Le, it’s not what you think. She and I…”


    As Hunter was about to exin, a loud click from a lighter interrupted him. He looked up instinctively to see Mason, not far behind Le, lighting a cigarette. A cold sweat broke out on Hunter’s forehead.


    “Mr… Mr. Ramirez…”


    Mason leaned against the wall, smoking. “Hmm? go on.”This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Go on? How could they possibly continue now?


    Hunter had been startled by Le as soon as he stepped out, not noticing the man behind her. The atmosphere was tense.


    Le broke the silence, “I’m off now.”


    With that, she walked away first.


    Le reached into her bag for her car keys as she left the hotel, then realized she had been drinking. .. She sighed resignedly and decided to hail a cab by the roadside.


    It was a hot midsummer night, making people feel restless.


    Le was looking down at her phone when a ck SUV pulled up in front of her. She looked up to see Mason’s assistant, Daniel.


    “Miss Patel.”


    Le paused for a moment, then smiled. “Mr. Daniel.”


    Daniel nodded at her. “It’s not easy to get a cab around here. Mr. Ramirez asked me to take you home.”


    Le, “…”


    Daniel’s words fell, and saw she didn’t move, he added, “It just so happens that I have a bit of work-rted business I’d like to ask you about.”


    At the mention of work, Le hesitated for a moment but then relented. “Alright, thank you.”


    Daniel ask Le some work-rted questions during the ride, even though Le knew he was just making excuses. Despite this, she smiled and answered each question patiently.


    Over an hourter, they arrived at Le’s apartment. After seeing her safely inside theplex, Daniel sent a message to Mason: [Boss, she’s home.]


    Mason replied simply, [Good.]


    Meanwhile, as Le arrived home, she received a call from Hunter.


    “Le, let me exin. When I asked her to meet me in the stairwell today, it was to end things with her, not what you think…”


    Le took a deep breath and interrupted him. “Hunter, men can be heartless, but they shouldn’t be shameless.”


    There was silence on the other end of the phone.


    Then, Hunter’s voice sounded tense. “Can I ask who that man was?”


    Le wasn’t one for longsting rtionships. In her view, when two adults love each other, they should be together. When they break up, there’s no need for disys of affection.


    After the question, Le was silence. Hunter suddenly choked up. “Le, do you think I’m really in the wrong?”


    Le didn’t answer; she just hung up.


    Shirley’s video call came in shortly afterward.


    Le briefly exined her situation with Hunter to Shirley.


    Shirley scoffed, “He has the nerve to ask if he’s in the wrong? How shameless.”


    Le washed her face, “I can save on the wedding expenses next month. The wedding’s off.”


    Shirley remarked, “So, who was the man you were withst night?”


    Le paused as she applied a face mask, then replied, “Mason.”


    Shirley was sitting on the sofa, sipping water when she heard Le’s revtion. The ss slipped from her hand, sshing water all over the sofa. She didn’t bother to clean it up, instead raising her voice, “Who? Who did you say?”


    “Mason…”


    Shirley fell silent for a long time. Then, in a low voice, she said, “Stay away from him.”
