Richelle was completely caught off guard by Hugo's words at this moment, and for a while, she was dumbfounded.
Looking at Hugo's expression, it was obvious that she couldn't just pretend to be clueless and brush it off.
After a while, she sincerely but apologetically said to Hugo.
"Hugo, I'm really sorry, but I can't meet your request."
Richelle wanted to say, maybe, I can give you money instead.
But on second thought, that kind of response would actually hurt people's feelings even more.
"I've always considered you as a good friend and brother, but as boyfriend and girlfriend, I think we are not suitable."
Before this, Richelle had never been in a relationship, but now, she could clearly distinguish the different feelings she had towards Roy Lewis and Hugo.
Hugo looked at her on the screen for a long time before showing a hint of a smile and speaking in his usual casual tone.
