Chapter 44

　　I immediately let go of my hand and smiled awkwardly, saying, "Don't misunderstand me, I..." 　　Novia didn't let me finish my words and immediately came over, ignoring the fact that I had just finished running with sweat all over my body. She grabbed my arm and asked, "Where did you guys just go? I waited for you for half an hour before you came back." 　　"We just went for a run, just to exercise." I smiled and explained to her. I silently prayed that Novia wouldn't think too much, but she seemed unaffected, while I still had some concerns. 　　Mr. Eugen looked at Novia expressionlessly and asked, "How did you come here?" 　　Novia blushed, as if she had applied a lot of blush on her face, and whispered, "I just came back from abroad and brought you a gift. I came here today specifically to give it to you." After saying that, she glanced at Mr. Eugen secretly. 　　Mr. Eugen nodded coldly and said, "Do as you please. If you need anything, just tell the maid. I have something to take care of."
