Andre gave her a frosty look and turned to leave.
Mia and Hansen exchanged a grin. She pointed towards Andre's retreating figure and said, "I'm off to chase my hubby again."
With that, she quickly caught up with Andre.
They were murmuring something to each other, too soft for anyone else to hear. Mia's lips were moving, but Andre was stone-faced, not talking. Even if people tried to listen as much as they could, they couldn't hear what Mia and Andre were saying.
Hansen watched their retreating figures as he asked the butler, "Did I just get snubbed?"
The butler wisely didn't answer the question but deftly steered the conversation towards a topic Hansen was more interested in. "Mr. Andre spent the night with Mia last night."
"What?" Hansen was taken aback, "He spent the night with Mia?"
The butler nodded.
"Oh, now I get it." Hansen looked in the direction they had left, "No wonder Mia and Andre seemed so close, so that's the reason."
The butler thought to himself, Mr. Hansen, I didn't say anything. It was all your own imagination.
In the dining room, Hansen sat at the head of the table. His gaze frequently landed on Mia and Andre. He watched as Mia kept talking to Andre.
Mia had a deep moral discussion with Andre about how severely those who broke their promises would be condemned. After finishing, she asked, "Andre, did you hear what I just said?"
"Nope."
Mia whispered, "We had an agreement that we would move out, and you can't just not keep it because it was verbal."
Andre replied, "I did promise to move out, but I never agreed when."
