Chapter 233
She must have been exasperated, but there was nothing she could have done. Some things were just totally
unchangeable, as if it had been destined! Just like them, even if they had parted ways seven years ago due to some
reasons, they were still able to meet up again seven years later.
I believe that I’m able to make her fall for me. Even if I can’t succeed now, I’ll be able to do so in the future! She
must be mine!
With his hands supporting the sink, he looked at himself in the mirror. He seemed a little drunk, but he had an
adamant expression.
Knock, knock. The sound of someone knocking on the door was heard. He frowned and asked, “Who’s that?”
Nicole’s voice was heard. “It’s me, Eugene. Are you alright?”
He knew what she had in mind. He stood straight and opened the door. “I’m fine. You may use the washroom.”
She uttered, “I’m not going to use it. I thought that you were throwing up inside after drinking so much, so I had just

He replied indifferently, “No, thanks.”
She looked at him with concern. “You should stop drinking, since you’ve had so much.”
He darted her a look without saying anything, but his gaze was sharp, as if he had seen through what she had in
mind.
Stunned, she quickly explained, “I was just worried that you would feel uncomfortable after drinking so much.”
He mumbled, “I’m fine.”
When they went back to their seats, the others looked at them with an ambiguous yet suggestive gaze, which
caused him to feel a sudden revulsion.
“You guys continue to drink. I’m leaving now.” Right after he said that, the two women in the private room looked at
him with an inexplicable expectant gaze.
Unfortunately, without even glancing at them, he picked up his jacket and left the room.
Alex was shocked. “Eh, you are leaving now?” Why do I have a feeling that he is suddenly upset? Feeling suspicious,
he strode over to chase after him. “What’s wrong with you?”
Eugene replied, “Nothing’s wrong. You guys should carry on. We’ll meet up again when we’re free.” After he said
that, he wanted to leave, but Alex followed behind him. “Why? You don’t like having them around? Aren’t we all
friends? Since you were in a bad mood, I thought that having more people would make the atmosphere livelier.”
Eugene looked at him. “I know. You guys can carry on!”
“You’ve been a little distant from us recently. Are you going to stop being friends with us when you get in a
relationship?”
Eugene darted him a look. “If we were no longer friends, do you think that I would be here?”
“But now, you are going to leave when everyone else is still here.”
“I have someone waiting for me at home.”
Alex cast him a stare. “Such a show-off. Weren’t you desperate about your relationship matter earlier?”
Eugene glared at him from the corner of his eyes. “What do you mean by being desperate?”
Alex pulled him again. “Fine. Let me tell you something useful. Men and women are different—men are sexual
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbeings, but women are emotional beings. If a man wants to have sex with a woman, he can do so with any woman
he finds acceptable to him. On the contrary, women are different; a woman needs to be in love before she’s willing
to have sex! Otherwise, she won’t let you touch her. If you really want to sleep with Olivia, tonight would be a good
chance for you to test it out. You are in a position where you can easily charge forward or retreat in defense. If she
really dislikes your advances, you can give her the excuse that you failed to control yourself because you are drunk
—women usually have higher tolerance toward drunk sex; but if she likes you as well, wouldn’t this good news for
both of you?”
Unsure of whether he had been brain-washed by Alex, Eugene’s head was filled with this question when he was on
his journey home.
He first thought, Maybe I should do something intimate with Olivia—she may accept me after we’ve slept together!
But the next moment, he thought, If I really do something intimate to her, will she be mad at me? Will she ignore
me after this? And will I be back to square one after trying so hard to get closer to her?
He kept pondering about all these and failed to get an answer even after he arrived at Muse Peninsula.
Nevertheless, his hand instinctively pressed on the lift button to the 59th floor.
