There was only one way to see it—Hugh was innocent. The actress had tried to use him to get ahead, and that was what led to all that trouble.
Hugh's driver had already left as he had done his job. Lucy, knowing when to bow out, followed suit.
Before she went, Lucy could not help but say to Chelsea, "You know, I really admire you. I've never seen Hugh so upset before, but you made him cry."
Chelsea gave a shy smile. "I didn't think he'd take it so hard."
Once Lucy was gone, it was just Chelsea and Hugh left alone in the private room.
Chelsea was about to speak, but Hugh beat her to it.
"Chelsea, you've got to believe me… But I guess I'm partly to blame too," Hugh said, reflecting on himself.
"If I hadn't gotten so drunk that day, nobody would've had the chance to cause trouble, and I wouldn't have forgotten everything."
It was a good thing that Hugh's driver knew all the people Hugh did. That was how they figured out what really happened.
"Forget about it. It's not really your fault. If anyone's to blame, it's just because you're too amazing."
Chelsea felt a little helpless saying that. She knew that to a lot of people, Hugh was like a shining star. Being with him always made her feel a bit pressured. Hugh was quite the big deal, after all.
Seeing Chelsea's worried face, Hugh decided right then and there.
"Don't worry about it. I'll do anything for you. If leaving makes you feel better, then it's totally worth it to me."
Hugh should have realized he should have left with Chelsea when she left the party that day.
Hugh did not really think it through. Before he and Chelsea got together, there were women who always hovered around him.
He always found ways to turn them down, but sometimes, he got someone as bold as that actress who just would not take no for an answer.
Those types were rare, but Hugh still ran into them every now and then.
"I can't control what they think, but I can make sure to stay out of those situations. So, I think my idea is a good one. You don't have to say no to me anymore, Chelsea."
