Chapter 83


    Aleena said nothing, but she was inwardly mulling over the woman’s words. Perhaps I’m too well-


    mannered. I should just employ a more direct method. D*mn you, Robin, for failing to do such a trivial


    task!


    After the fuss at the cocktail party, everyone looked at Olivia and Kate differently. The most tant


    evidence was the fact that everyone seemed friendly with them, with increasingly more people handing


    them business cards and even expressing their hopes of a coboration if the opportunity arose in


    future. Actually, everyone was of the same mind—these twodies are Eugene Nn’s friends. After


    all, no one dared to offend his friend.


    Kate was ecstatic. Never have I thought that my magazine and I would be renowned in such a


    way one day.

    Meanwhile, no one dared to report the incident at the cocktail party on this night since Eugene had


    spoken. When they were leaving, Eugene offered to send them back, but Olivia declined. The two


    women then hailed a taxi home.


    Staring the upturned corners of Kate’s mouth that just wouldn’t go down, Olivia couldn’t resist saying,


    “Alright, justugh if you want to do so.”


    Kateughed unceremoniously. “Ha ha… Don’t you think it was a blessing in disguise that I got


    pped? Many celebrities expressed their interest in coborating with me today, so I think I don’t need


    to worry for the next six months.”


    Olivia burst into giggles. “Your sess in taking advantage of Eugene’s influence today far exceeded


    my expectations.”


    Grasping her hand, Kate dered solemnly, “I know you’re the person I should be thanking most. If it


    weren’t for you, Eugene Nn wouldn’t have known me from a stranger on the street, much less be


    friends with me. D*mn it, I’m Eugene Nn’s friend! I’ve decided to advertise your designs for free


    without asking you for a single cent in the future.”


    Olivia shot her a re. “You may want to do so, but I may not be interested.”


    Looking at her dubiously, Kate asked, “Can’t you be a smidge more polite?”


    Olivia clung to her shoulder. “Why should I? Considering our rtionship now, talking about money will


    only ruin our friendship!” Kate was rendered speechless.


    Meanwhile, Eugene went straight to Ruby Pce after leaving the cocktail party, having been pestered


    endlessly by Alex and Hayden since the incident during the cocktail party came to their knowledge


    through some unknown individual.


    Upon seeing him, everyone in the room hollered, “He’s here, he’s here!” Eugene was then forced onto


    the sofa. Knowing that he disliked women, none of the women dared to go forward and tease him.


    Since Alex was the master yer here, he called out to a female guest rtions officer (GRO),


    “Serenity, hurry up and pour Mr. Nn a ss of wine. I’m sure he didn’t get enough to drink at the


    cocktail party earlier.”


    shing Eugene a smile, Serenity Morris sensibly poured him a ss of wine before cing it on the


    table in front of him. “Here you go, Mr. Nn.” Then, she returned to her post. The GROs in Ruby


    Pce were all insightfuldies, so they usually wouldn’t go up to their clients unless summoned upon


    noticing them talking.


    Eugene took out a cigarette from the packet of cigarettes and lit it with a snap of the lighter. Then, he


    leisurely took a puff, upon which a cloud of smoke enveloped his devastatingly handsome face. “Hurry


    up and cut the b*llshit!”


    “What’s wrong? Are you in a bad mood? But didn’t you save the damsel in distress?” Alex remarked


    with a chuckle.


    Likewise, Hayden teased, “It’s probably because the damsel didn’t pledge herself to him.”


    Eugene shot them both a re. “Is saving the damsel in distress just for the express purpose of having


    the damsel pledge herself to me?”


    At this, Alex looked at Hayden. “If it’s not to have her pledge herself to him, why did he save her?”


    “So that she’ll pledge herself to him in the future,” Hayden tacitly answered with a chuckle.


    All at once, Alex gave him a thumbs-up. “Absolutely brilliant!”


    Eugene flicked his cigarette ash into the ashtray. “Stop using your filthy thoughts to appraise my


    actions! What do you know?”


    Sneering, Alex urged Serenity, “Quick, y a song to purify my filthy thoughts.”
