"Hughes? What's the deal with you and Mr. Allison? Do you know what's going on?"
Because Nathaniel Hughes hadn't spoken for a while, they pressed him.
Nathaniel Hughes downed his drink in one go and said, "I think this isn't something worth discussing."
"Did Charlotte bring him to today's banquet?"
Everyone's eyes fell on Charlotte Allison's back in the distance, and they smiled knowingly, understanding:
"As expected, Mr. Allison is just playing around. In such a formal setting, how could he bring someone like that in?"
"Considering this, at Mrs. Sheldon's previous birthday banquet, Mr. Allison also didn't bring him along. It's clear he doesn't see him as presentable."
"If Hughes is saying so, then that little boyfriend will probably be replaced soon."
...
As they chatted, Nathaniel Hughes lost interest and turned to head to the balcony.
On the balcony stood a blond, blue-eyed man, with bodyguards beside him keeping others at a distance, so he was alone there at the moment.
