Yvette gave Melanie a push. “Your guy is here to pick you up.”
Hugh walked in and passed Melanie the fruit juice. He said matter–of–factly, “I saw lots of
people buying this on my way here.”
Melanie had never had specialty drinks like this since she graduated from university. She
raised an eyebrow. Before she said anything, Yvette said excitedly, “This brand has been
really popular recently. There’s always a long queue at that place.”
She looked enviously at Melanie. “You’re so lucky.”
Melanie smiled as she took the cup from Hugh. She asked him, “Did Yvonne make you buy
this?”
Hugh replied, “She insisted that this is what a boyfriend should get his girlfriend.”
“When are you planning to get one for her?” Yvette had gone off, and Melanie became

“Yes, I am.”
“Wait for us. Mr. Scott and I are on our way. Didn’t someone throw something from the

day and looked upstairs.
Melanie had an idea of who the culprit was, but she wanted to see Eugene try to talk his
way out of that person’s crime.
Lee and the others arrived very soon. That was when Melanie found out that they were
supposed to come over after meeting with a client, but the police suddenly requested
them to come over.
Melanie had no idea that Lee had reported this to the police. No one had told her about it.

“Haven’t you thought of the possibility that I’m the one paying you 5,000 a day?” Melanie
shook her head. “Why won’t you listen to me instead?”
She heard footsteps behind her, and a man’s low voice was heard speaking, “The police
are here. Don’t you want to go upstairs and have a look at the surveillance footage?”
Melanie’s and Hugh’s expressions became more serious when Eugene appeared. Melanie
turned to glance at Eugene. “I do.”
It was winter, and the sky turned dark earlier. The lights on the road lit up the space
between Melanie and Eugene in the thin mist of the night.
The light made it look like there was a barrier between them.
