Chapter 396

"No," Hugh replied without hesitation. It wasn't that he disliked cufflinks. He just never paid much attention to them.

Since it was a purely business meeting, he had rushed in and out without wearing any cufflinks.

Hugh said bluntly, "You remembered what I wore the other day."

Serena used to enjoy picking things out for him. She kept up with men's fashion shows, hunted for new releases, and bought pieces she thought would look good on him.
