Unfinished Business with You

Chapter 32

The man who said that was Robin Hills. He had a dreadful appearance whereby his mouth stuck out and he had a chin like an ape’s.

While he said this, Robin winked at several other men and his smile had a hidden meaning behind it.

Just as he said this, Eugene took the glass in his hand and hurled it toward him. Eugene’s voice sounded cold and distant. “Do you even know how to talk?”

Robin raised his hands to block the glass. Although he felt pain for a few seconds when it hit him, Robin was mainly embarrassed by Eugene’s action.

He looked at Eugene’s gloomy face and froze for a moment before giving a smile. “I’m just joking.”

All of a sudden, the entire room became silent as everyone turned to look at Eugene’s dark and gloomy face.

He glared furiously at Robin and with a cold voice, he asked, “Do you know her very well?”

At this very second, one woman dressed in a cheongsam reached out to pull Robin and smiled. “Please don’t be angry, Eugene. We’re all friends from the same circle. Robin is used to talking in such a straight-forward manner. Since he saw that Miss Maxwell was an open-minded person, he made that joke with her.” Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

However, Eugene’s face was still as cold as a freezer. “Is this even a joke? He’s blind. Can’t he see that I brought her here? So, who is he insulting?”

Once again, the entire room was filled with silence.

Then, Alex came forward awkwardly and explained, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have simply made a joke. Please don’t be angry. We’re all friends here. Please sit down first, then we can talk!”

The woman added, “Eugene, Robin didn’t mean to say that. It’s not like you don’t understand him. He’s a very direct person. Robin, aren’t you going to apologize to Miss Maxwell?”

Robin glanced at Eugene and walked forward. “I’m sorry, Miss Maxwell. Please don’t mind the joke that I just made.”

In fact, Olivia felt a little angry. However, she did not want to disturb their party.

Hence, she smiled and tugged at Eugene’s sleeves. “Why are you angry? I’m not a person who can’t take a joke. Besides, the questions he asked were what a normal patient would normally ask. Everyone, have a seat.”

As she said this, she pulled Eugene to sit on the sofa. Then, she proceeded to look at Robin with a serious and professional look. “Mr. Hills, I’m a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. Normally, I would use acupuncture treatment. As for whether it’s performed on a normal bed or a patient’s bed, it makes no difference to me. If you're willing to be treated on the sofa, then it’s fine with me too. I can assure you that your illness will be cured after I perform the acupuncture procedure. But before that, I need to ask you a few questions. How long have you been in this situation? Are you unable to get erect at all or would it only be for a short time? How often do you have sex? How long will a session usually be? Would you feel worried before you do it? Have you faced any psychological stress recently?”

Inside the quiet VIP room, only Olivia’s voice could be heard clearly.

Each sentence was like a tight slap to Robin’s face. Initially, Robin made this joke just because he wanted to see Olivia make a fool of herself. Now, there was nothing he could do to remove the stigma off of his name. Anyone who did not understand the context might think that Robin really had problems.

Everyone’s expression was different. Some wanted to laugh but dared not to do so while some became awkward and did not know what to say. The rest were so embarrassed that they wanted to find a hole to hide in.

Meanwhile, Robin’s face turned as red as a tomato and he hurriedly explained, “I’m not talking about my—”

Olivia interrupted him even before he could finish his sentence.

“There’s nothing to be shy of. Aren’t they all your friends from childhood? There are no outsiders here. Don’t worry; I’m a doctor and I have my own professional ethics to follow. I will keep my patients’ conditions confidential! Mr. Hills, let me know when you’d like to be treated, or do you want to be treated now?”

Eugene, who was sitting beside Olivia, looked a little relaxed, but he still could not conceal the coldness in his eyes. His pair of eyes were still glaring sharply at Robin.

“She’s asking you a question.”

Like the winds from Siberia, Eugene’s tone of voice was icy-cold. It made Robin’s heart cower while his face showed a complicated expression. In the end, his face was a mix of gloomy and embarrassed. He lifted his eyes to look carefully at Olivia and turned again to glance at the unfriendly-looking Eugene.
