Argh, I got betrayed by John! He told me that he’d help me and report Evan’s every action back to me, but why do I feel that he’s acting more like a double agent! Evan definitely knows about me asking John for the passcode to his office! Don’t tell me he’ll change the passcode?
Just as Nicole was lost in thought, she heard John remind Evan that it was time for a meeting. Evan then instructed him to take the documents and leave without him.
“Alright, Mr. Seet.”
Evan got up and stared at his seat. Whenever he left the office, he would push the chair back in. However, it was not the case this time. Did she tamper with my chair, hoping that I’d fall? What a foolish woman!
After scanning the room once, he left the office, lost in thought. He then quickly locked the door to the office and keyed in the password.
Nicole crept out of the break room after she could no longer hear his footsteps and continued sabotaging his office.
When she had completed her plan, she laughed triumphantly, “There, all done! Evan, you’ll be in for a big surprise!”
She headed out, only to realize that she was unable to open the door.
What’s going on?
She started panicking when every attempt was incorrect.
Darn! Evan must have changed the password! Did he change it to prevent me from entering? Or… Don’t tell me that he knew I was inside all along!
Nicole’s heart started to beat erratically. What now? How do I leave?
Half an hour later, the meeting ended.
When Evan thought about the woman locked in his office, he smirked. It’ll take more than that to get back at me, dumb woman! I’d like to see what else you can think of besides tampering with my chair!
He then headed to his office.
Nicole sighed. She had tried all means to break out but to no avail.
If only Juan was with me. Hacking the passcode would be a piece of cake for him! Too bad he’s at school though. I can’t possibly ask him to come all this way… Argh, it’s not like Evan won’t be returning. He’ll be back after his meeting! This door will open for me soon enough.
True enough, there was a clicking of the door and she quickly hid inside the break room once again.
Evan smirked when he saw the messy documents on his table.
He called John and ordered, “Get Tussaud to my office immediately!”
“Yes, Mr. Seet!”
John hung up and sighed. How much Mr. Seet must love Tussaud to want to see her so urgently?
On the other hand, Nicole frowned. What on earth is Evan thinking?
Moments later, John rushed into Evan’s office and reported, “Mr. Seet, Ms. Tussaud isn’t in the office and the translation department said that they didn’t see her today.”
“She isn’t here? Didn’t you say she gave you a call?”
“That’s right. Maybe… maybe Ms. Tussaud is preparing the surprise for you and came late! Mr. Seet, are you looking forward to it?”
Looking forward? I know this woman like the back of my hand. What’s there to look forward to her petty tricks?
“Of course I am. I’ve prepared a big surprise for her myself.”
“What surprise is it?” John queried.
Evan scoffed and glanced at the documents on his desk and shot John a glance.
John picked them up and his face fell.
“Mr. Seet…”
“What about it?”
“Mr. Seet, you’ll be causing Ms. Tussaud a lot of trouble this way. In fact… she’ll never have a peaceful day again!”
Nicole frowned. What does he mean by that? I’ll never have another peaceful day?
“Don’t you think this will be a great surprise to Ms. Tussaud?” Evan’s charismatic voice brought Nicole back to her senses.
She focused on listening keenly.
