Chapter 2468

"Hugo scanned the hotel lobby, his eyes darting from one corner to the other. "She said she was heading out to meet a client. She must have left by now, right?"

Robin didn't respond, just kept walking forward.

Hugo ventured, "Did Sophia have a thing for you back in the day? Why didn't you guys end up together?"

Robin frowned slightly, a self-deprecating tone in his voice. "She was too good for me. I didn't deserve her."

Sensing the mood, Hugo quickly added, "Sophia seems to have gotten the wrong idea about you. I've already cleared it up with her. It was my screw-up, and you just took the fall for me."

He looked genuinely remorseful. "Robin, I'm really sorry. If I get the chance, I'll make sure everyone knows the truth."

Robin clapped him on the shoulder. "It's been years, man. Let's not dredge up the past. I know you've been beating yourself up over it, and you haven't made the same mistake since. That's enough for me."

Hugo's voice was laced with guilt. "If I screw up again, I'd be letting down all your hard work."

"So, let's just drop it," Robin said with a graceful smile. "What do you feel like eating? Dinner's on me tonight!"
