Chapter 41
He stretched out his slender legs and walked into the private room.
However, little did he know that as Mira watched him, it seemed like he was impatiently eager to clear up the misunderstanding for Jacey.
Mira sighed, “Wow, such deep affection and profound feeling.
Jacey also felt that Hugh was on her side. Concealing her inner satisfaction, she followed Hugh inside and said to Mira in a manner akin to a hostess, “Come in, the food here is quite good.”
As she spoke, she sat down beside Hugh naturally.
One was young and handsome, with a compelling noble temperament, while the other stood straight and graceful. They two were indeed a perfect match
“Let’s go. Since Ms. Tyler has spoken, we can’t refuse her kindness.” Mira was about to go in, pulling Paige along.
Paige tugged at her, whispering, “Let’s not go, Hugh’s ex–girlfriend is so pretentious when she talks, it ruins my appetite just looking at her. Besides, it’s risky for both of us to stay, it would be trouble if our identities were exposed.”
“I stay here just for your sake. Don’t you find it strange? These people are all prominent figures in Svallion City, why would Allen know them? Moreover, he’s just an associate professor, how could he be a VVIP guest at Palm Restaurant? And, he booked this private room today, the consumption must start at a hundred thousand. A hundred thousand, even if his parents were professors or deans, they wouldn’t be so extravagant. Let alone his parents don’t even value you. Would
they be willing to spend so much money on you?”
Paige was taken aback. She had indeed been puzzled before, but before she had time to think about it in detail, she ran into an acquaintance.
“But……”
“Don’t worry. I didn’t even take Hugh seriously. Let alone Jacey.”
Without a word, Mira pulled Paige inside.
There was an empty seat next to Hugh. As Zackary was about to sit down, he was suddenly shoved by Chad, “What are you sitting there for? Come sit by me.”
Zackary’s mind went blank, not reacting for a moment, until Chad said, “Mira, you sit next to Hugh.”
“No need.” Mira shook her head, “I won’t go and disturb him and Ms. Tyler.”
With this sentence, everyone in the room turned to look at her.
Especially Hugh, his handsome face was extremely gloomy, “Mira, what are you implying again.”
He and Jacey were sitting peacefully without disturbing each other, but Mira suddenly said such words, clearly with ulterior motives.
The man’s warning look of dissatisfaction made Mira protest her innocence, “No, I genuinely think you two are a good match, and I just don’t want to intrude in you.”
“You’re being sarcastic, aren’t you?” Hugh slightly lifted his chin, his tone icy cold.
“You set me up.” Mira raised her hand, “I can swear that everything I’m

telling is true. We have no emotional foundation, and why would I act weird? Besides, you two, one handsome and the other beautiful, are well–matched in social and economic status. You really are a perfect match.”
Hugh scrutinized her with a careful gaze. Mira was dressed simply that day, in white casual pants paired with a brown short T–shirt. The T- shirt was very short, revealing her slender waist. She didn’t wear makeup, but it didn’t affect her beauty at all. On the contrary, her skin seemed to glow, and her features were fresh and natural.
They hadn’t spent much time together, but he already knew that Mira’s emotions were usually reflected in her eyes. At this moment, her small face was adorned with eyes as clear as water, showing absolutely no aggression.
He suddenly realized that what Mira had said could very well be the truth.
