Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1306: Oh, love.

Meanwhile...

Ginnie and Hugo stared at each other, confusion evident on their faces. They were at the restaurant for two different reasons. Hugo was here for a free meal, sponsored by his rich "friend" Max. Ginnie, on the other hand, was here because Max had asked her to meet him.

Both of them were here because of Max, but they hadn't expected to see each other.

"Ginnie!" Hugo recovered first, raising his fist in a cheerful gesture. "Good to see you!"

"Senior Hugo!" Ginnie grinned back, excitement flickering in her eyes as she gave him a fist bump and casually sat across from him. "Senior Hugo, what are you doing here? Are you lost or something? I don't think you can afford the food here, considering you don't have money."

Hugo frowned. "Hey, you didn't have to rub that in."

"Haha." She laughed. "Lucky for you, I'm here. I can pay for it."

"And this is why it's good to have really, really good friends! Hahaha!" Hugo laughed loudly, earning a few glances from the other diners in the fine dining restaurant.

"Senior Hugo, I don't think we should be loud here," Ginnie murmured, lowering her head slightly and pressing a hand to the side of her mouth as she whispered. "This is a fine dining restaurant."

"Fine dining... right. This is a library with food," Hugo muttered, his face souring. But the expression didn't last long-tonight, he'd eat to his heart's content, courtesy of Max.

"Anyway, what are you doing here, Senior Hugo?" Ginnie asked, her curiosity piqued.

"Me? Well, Max said he had some free food. So I came," he shrugged.
