Chapter 102

edit,   Like being electrocuted, I broke free from his grasp. Unable to bear staying here for even a second longer, I stood up. As I walked out of the coffee shop, I saw Mr. Eugen standing by his car on the side of the road, waving at me.

  I was somewhat surprised, but before I could explain, Mr. Eugen promptly opened the passenger door for me. "Get in," he said calmly, his tone and expression as tranquil as water.

  "Mr. Eugen, I am..." I started to explain, but he waved his hand to interrupt me, motioning for me to get in the car. I could only nervously follow his instructions.

  "I know," Mr. Eugen said as he sat in the car and fastened my seatbelt for me. "He wouldn't let you, right?"

  Frowning, I nodded.

  "Don't worry, Claude will agree," Mr. Eugen reassured me.
