Henry smirked and said, "Mindy, I need your help now."

"What kind of help do you need, Boss? I'm ready to assist!"

"You see because you failed to wake me up last night, my fiancee now thinks that I cheated on her with you. So why don't you come here and explain everything," Henry said. "And please hurry. I'm about to die from a heartbreak because she keeps telling me she wants to leave me."

"O—On it, Boss! I will be there! Just tell me the address!"

"I'll text you my address," Henry said.

Beep.

Kate's jaw dropped when she heard the conversation between them. This was not her expectation because she expected them to go hush-hush as they had just had a wild night.

Henry raised his brow provocatively, "Do you believe me now? Well, it's okay if you don't because you'll trust me again after Mindy tells you everything."

**

It only took about forty-five minutes for Henry to get a text from Mindy saying that she was already in the apartment's lobby.

Henry told her to go to the designated floor and enter room 12.5.

Henry and Kate waited inside room 12.5. Henry was so confident and relaxed, which in turn, made Kate nervous.

She began to doubt herself, 'Did I see the wrong thing? Or maybe I jumped to the conclusion with a muddy mind?' 

Kate glanced at Henry and wondered, 'Maybe he didn't cheat. Maybe it's all in my mind."

Henry held Kate's hand and gently caressed her palm with his thumb, "I know you're doubting everything. That's why I want to assure you," Henry said. He stared at Kate with deep yet soft emerald eyes, "I am yours, and you're mine. No one can come between us, Katherine."

Knock. Knock.

Henry and Kate turned their heads to the door at the same time. 

Knock. Knock.

"Henry? Mr. Grant? Boss? Are you there?"

Henry released Kate's hand and got up from the sofa, "Stay in here, Kitty. I will let her in, and then I'll be waiting outside, so you two can have a private conversation without me."

Kate nodded, and her eyes followed Henry and walked to the front door.

"Boss, oh god, I'm sorry for last night!" Kate could hear Mindy's voice as Henry opened the door. "Wait, what happened to your forehead and nose?"

"It's fine, but you should tell my fiance. She is upset, and I feel like an ass because of this," Henry said before he allowed Mindy to enter the apartment while he left and closed the door. 

Mindy walked to the living room and bowed politely in front of Kate, "You must be Katherine, right? My name is Mindy. Nice to meet you."

Mindy stretched her hand. She had a friendly smile while doing so, and Kate couldn't help to feel a bit weirded out since she remembered this woman to be so alluring when she passed out.

She was still beautiful and youthful. No wonder she could be a hostess in an elite bar serving the elites.

But when she didn't wear that black dress and wasn't drunk, she looked like a cheerful, pretty woman in her early 20s.

Thus, Kate shook her hand and smiled thinly, "Yes, I'm Kate. You must be Mindy. I saw you passed out on that sofa last night, by the way."

"Ahahaha…" Mindy laughed awkwardly. She sat on the seat facing Kate and said, "I didn't know that you're much younger than I expected, Ma'am. Henry told me that you're in your early 30s."

Kate's lips twitched. Usually, she didn't mind telling others about her age, but now that she saw this woman as a potential threat, she saw it as a subtle mockery that she was old.

Mindy quickly realized that she had accidentally offended Kate, so she apologized, "I'm sorry, Ma'am. I didn't mean it in a bad way. I just expected you to look a little older, but you are very youthful."

"Just call me Kate. It's fine," Kate said. "And yes, I'm in my early 30s."

Mindy had a completely different expectation about Kate. 

She thought that Kate was an old lady. Henry said she was in her early 30s, so she expected Kate to look old.

But she was actually quite youthful and was very beautiful. Even Mindy, a woman, got a little tempted by her beauty, and her aura was also oppressive, which made Mindy a little nervous. 

"Well, I'm here to straighten things up about what happened to Henry and me last night," Mindy said. "First of all, Henry and I dated briefly in college. We bumped into each other in the bar last night and began talking about each other's life."

"He then told me the real reason why he was in the bar, and he told me all of his problems after a glass of ice whiskey," Mindy began retelling last night's event. "He told me that he fought with his fiance because you set up a meeting with a divorce lawyer."

"So I told him that he's being so childish for jumping into the gun without thinking twice," Mindy said, and she shrugged lightly. "Only an idiot would accuse his beloved of cheating without even listening to her reasoning first, right? I told him he was an idiot for hurting the woman he loved, and told him to go and apologize to his fiancee and make up for all the crazy things he said to you."

"But he said that he needs to gather his courage. That was why he drank a lot of ice whiskeys, and I accompanied him," Mindy said. Her cheeks reddened as she got embarrassed. "Well, we passed out after too much whiskey, and I guess that's the start of this misunderstanding."

Kate felt like she had been stabbed in her conscience because what Mindy said to Henry could also be applied to her.

She refused to listen to Henry's reasoning and simply thought he was cheating on her, and now she was 99% sure she was being too dramatic. 

'But I still have to make sure…'

Kate took a deep breath and finally asked the most important question, "Be honest with me, Mindy. Did he touch you?"
