Chapter 211
Roxanne frowned slightly and was about to reject Hugo Reynolds. Meanwhile, escaping from the crowd on the dance floor, Madilyn sat beside 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 dim light. Although Hugo lacked a fit body, he was not too skinny. Besides, judging from his attire, Madilyn 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 any friends? Ask them to come 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 along their wine.
As they came over, Hugo‘s friends were polite enough to maintain a reasonable distance from Roxanne and Madilyn.
Upon scrutinizing the guys, Madilyn raised her brows as she questioned, “You 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 approached 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 single for years. We have no idea what kind of women he‘s interested in anymore. However, today...” As they replied, they cast him teasing glances.
Hearing that, Hugo beamed and interrupted, “Stop talking. Let‘s have a drink, shall we?”
In unison, his friends swiftly changed the topic.
After having small talk with the guys, Madilyn got along well with everyone and soon filled the air with chatter.
In reality, Roxanne came to the bar to drink her sorrows away. Facing that situation, she had no choice but to appear unruffled in front of everyone, despite feeling uncomfortable.
Meanwhile, Madilyn was having a great time, and she moved to sit between the guys afterward. Subsequently, she played some drinking games with the others, leaving Roxanne to sit all alone at the side.
Hearing his question, Roxanne was briefly 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?”
