Chapter 2546

"Of course!" Milanda grinned and handed over the stack of paperwork. "Boss, your signature, please!"

That evening, Amy treated everyone to dinner. Afterward, the group headed out for karaoke.

Because of what happened with Harry and that hostess, Amy had soured on Blue Oasis, so she splurged and booked a private room at 9th Mansion instead.

No one mentioned Harry. It felt just like any other night out-joking, laughing, trying to wash away the heaviness lingering around Amy after her recent breakup.

Amy poured herself a drink and walked over to Eugene. "Mr. Winters, I owe you one," she said, raising her glass. "If you ever need anything, just say the word— I'd do it in a heartbeat."

"Don't make it sound so dramatic-I'm not expecting you to risk life and limb," Eugene replied with a gentle smile, clinking his glass against hers. "Do you know why I helped you?"

Amy blinked in surprise. "No, why?"

He grinned. "Because when Harry tried to get you to betray Sylvia, you refused. That alone is enough for whatever trouble you're in, I'll have your back."
