Olivia glared at him. ‘If there’s nothing between you and her, why would you worry that I’d misunderstood you? Stop talking in circles. I don’t have the patience for that.”
Eugene frowned. “There’s really nothing between us. She saved my life a few years back, and she wanted me to join her birthday celebration that day. I thought that it’d be easy to leave since Hayes would be there as well, and by doing so, I wouldn’t embarrass her.
I didn’t know you were at City Palace on the same day, so I didn’t bother to tell you about the birthday. There wasn’t anything important anyway. It’s the same as you showing up as Christoff Stevenson’s plus one. I know you were forced into doing that.”

She smirked at him with disappointment in her eyes and enunciated, ‘Are you saying that we’re even because I was involved with Christoff Stevenson?”
He was surprised by her interpretation. “No, that’s not what I meant. I was saying that I believe there’s nothing between you and him. We had no choice, right?”
Jewel had wanted to mediate, but she acted too slow, and her words might not even be of much help. After some thinking, she said nothing and followed Olivia and North down the stairs. Eugene was left frozen at the door to the room. She said I have no right to suspect her!
Indeed, he had no right to do so. He closed his eyes. What the heck was I saying? Why did I complicate matters with the mention of Christoff Stevenson? He hadn’t planned to mention Christoff at all, but he blurted it out without knowing.
Meanwhile, Jewel was consoling an upset Olivia. “Olivia, you misunderstood him. He probably meant that he trusted you, and he was hoping to get your trust in return.”
Olivia countered, “Did I get engaged to Christoff Stevenson? Were we star-crossed lovers from six years ago? And did I shield him from bullets?”
Jewel explained, “People were talking about the 38-minute secret chat between you and Christoff Stevenson, even though that’s just fake gossip spread by those who are not in the know. You are the same as them now-you don’t know the truth, and that’s why you’re overthinking.”
