Chapter 26
After mopping the floor, Mira directly moved the mattress and blanket to the floor.
She didn’t want to sleep on that bed, anyway.

Hugh called Chad in annoyance. “Where are you? I want to have a drink.”
Chad joked, “What did you just say? What made you, such a restrained man, want to have a drink? Who pissed you off?”
“Shut up.” Hugh was in a bad mood.
“Fine. Zackary, Oliver, and I are in Paige’s Café. I’ll send you the address. Come over here.”
Hugh frowned slightly. “A coffee shop? I thought you were in a bar. So, what brought you there?”
Chad grunted, “Oliver fell in love with the coffee shop’s owner. The. woman shows up every Wednesday. So, we are waiting here with Oliver.”
“Fine, I’ll come over.”
Hugh hung up the phone and drove over with the help of navigation.
About half an hour later, he arrived at Paige’s Café.

The coffee shop wasn’t far from downtown. There were flowers outside, and it was decorated in an exotic style. Standing out there, Hugh could smell a thick coffee aroma.
Hugh pulled the heavy door open and came in. The melodious and soothing piano music made people feel peaceful.
“Hugh, over here.”
Not far away, Zackary waved his hand at Hugh.
Hugh strode over.
It was hard to believe that three of the richest young men in Svallion City sat there drinking coffee, with all kinds of desserts on the table.
Zackary said curiously, “Hugh, what aren’t you home tonight? I heard from my mother that the police went to your house this afternoon. Did anything happen to your family and make you upset?”
Zackary got no response.
Hugh, who was going to pull a chair and sat down, looked very unhappy.
He almost forgot that the Leopold’s house was in a rich neighborhood. Their neighbors were rich and powerful. Hugh’s friends‘ families also lived there.
Oliver nodded, “Hugh, I also heard from my family that the police came to your house. What happened?”
Chad was curious, too.
“This is my family matter.” Hugh sat down and glared at his three friends, warning them to shut up.
Hugh, we are just warned about you”
Zackary looked disappointed. But he knew Hugh’s temper wasn’t good. Thus, Zackary didn’t keep asking
“Forget it. People all have secrets” With a gentle smile, Chad lifted his chin and looked over at the piano. “Look. Do you see the woman who is playing the piano there? She is the boss and the woman Oliver likes”
Hugh looked over casually.
Under dazzling light, the woman playing the piano wore a floral dress. Her black and shiny long hair fell on her shoulders and behind her back. The woman was elegant and beautiful.
She looked more attractive, especially when her slender and fair fingers danced on the white and black keys.
However…
“She is just fine,” Hugh commented lazily. Then, he frowned. “Since she is the owner of this coffee shop, why is she playing the piano? What does she want?”
Hugh had seen a lot of beautiful women in his life. No matter what their jobs were, those women were desperate to attract Hugh’s attention and marry him for money.
