Chapter 387 Facing Some Bitter Truths
“Yep!” Eugene responded. “My girlfriend is all that I need.”
Alex understood what was being said and scowled, “Fine. The next time you ask me out for drinks, please count me out because I won’t be free!”
Eugene teased, “For a singleton like you, how busy can you be?”
Feeling like Eugene had gone overbound, Alex retorted, “So what if I’m busy? My life doesn’t only revolve around girlfriends. Can’t I have important things to do?”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you. It’ll probably take three to five minutes,” Eugene chuckled.
As furious as he was, Alex was no match for Eugene when it came to debates like that. “Do you think that I’m like you, where I’ll take no more than three to five minutes?”
Eugene calmly continued with his assault. “Well, I’m not the one with problems with his private member. Have you gotten it treated yet?”
Alex yelled, “D*mn it! Don’t you dare ever bring this up again! That was all thanks to Olivia Maxwell!”
“Now, it’s not fair to put all the blame on her,” Eugene defended.
Alex began to connect the dots and probed, “Hang on. Don’t tell me that you’re at her place right now?”
“As a matter of fact,” Eugene said. “Yes, I am.”
Alex sniggered. “Here I am wondering why you are being loyal. Was it just to show her how great of a boyfriend you are? Oh, look at me, I’m ditching my drinking buddies to spend time with you, my beloved. Who are you kidding here?”
Eugene retaliated, “I’m not like you, allowing your d*ck to guide you wherever you go.”
“Speaking of which, I heard Aleena has gone abroad. Are you the one who asked her to leave?
With that question, Alex finally revealed the true intention behind the drinking session, fully knowing that Eugene had made up his mind to give it a miss.
Between Eugene’s group of friends and his own girlfriend, it was a no brainer for someone like him to pick the latter to spend the night with.
Eugene asked, “Why do you ask? You can’t watch her leaving?”
A flustered Alex scowled, “Bullsh*t! What does it have to do with me?”
“Then, why are you asking about her?”
“Can’t you tell? I’m just concerned about you.”
Feeling unperturbed, Eugene replied, “Please be serious. I’m already seeing someone.”
“Tsk, as if everyone else isn’t.”
“Well, you aren’t.”
“I’m merely keeping my options open. I can get one at any time if I wish to.”
“I see. Isn’t this precisely the same reason why you’re always breaking up with girls?”
“D*mn you, Eugene! I’m never calling you anymore!” Alex hung up.
Eugene put away his cell phone with a cheeky grin on his face.
Olivia wondered how she fell for such a dangerously captivating man. It would have been much easier to withstand his charm when he was not smiling.
Yet, with a grin like that, who could have resisted him? It was not a surprise that women were throwing themselves at him.
“Did I hear that Aleena Jones has gone abroad?”
She was sitting beside him and she had heard everything.
Eugene reached his arm out and pulled her into a side hug. With an apologetic tone, he explained, “Yeah, she wasn’t the mastermind, but I taught her a lesson and made her leave the country.”
Olivia inquired, “What mastermind?”
“It was at that time when you had the car accident. I discovered it when Luca Matthews was still alive and in touch with Robin Hills. Robin and Aleena attempted to force Luca to frame you, but the fellow died before anything could happen. I believe that the real mastermind already knew about their plan and deliberately had them have a taste of their own medicine. I’m still investigating this.”
Olivia did not expect him to continue his investigation after all this while. “I’m fine now. You don’t have to do that anymore.”
“Let me handle this. I can’t just let it slide. As long as the murderer is out there, both you and your kid will be in danger.”
She fell silent and leaned her head on Eugene’s shoulder.
He was always doing more than he spoke. If it wasn’t because of Alex’s phone call, she would not have known about the matter.
