“But what?” urged Nicole.
“But the minimum amount my phone can transfer is six thousand, so you will have to earn that extra thousand.”
Nicole was speechless.
Yet another stupid and obvious lie.
Nicole suddenly realized that the a*shole, Evan, can always come up with the weirdest excuses when he wanted to annoy her.
It was likely that the extra thousand wouldn’t come from translating another document from A Nation. Nicole couldn’t figure out what else he could’ve wanted her to do, so she cut to the chase and asked, “Mr. Seet, how should I earn that extra thousand?”
“Do you know how to pour wine?”
Nicole frowned. Does he want me to drink with him? I can’t really drink, and who knows what will happen after I’m drunk?
Nicole thought about the potential consequences of being drunk and immediately said, “I won’t drink with you.”
Evan scanned her from head to toe before saying, “Like I’d want to have a drink with you? No way! You only need to pour the wine.”
Nicole sighed a breath of relief in her mind after hearing his response. Pouring wine was much simpler, and it is a bargain to earn a thousand just by pouring a few drinks. More importantly, I will be able to receive the five thousand he owes me. With that money, I can buy loads of new clothes for the kids, and I can have even less interaction with him after this. It’s a win-win!
“Fine, I’ll pour the wine, but you have to clarify the rules. How many glasses do I have to pour for you?”
Evan’s eyes glowed a little brighter after hearing her response.
His sexy lips curved up as he asked calmly, “How many glasses do you think you’d need to pour to earn a thousand?”
Nicole was stunned. If I answer one bottle, would Evan finish this entire bottle? More importantly, what do I do about Maya and Nina if he took all night to finish this bottle? Staying up late is unhealthy for them, and they need to rest early.
After thinking it through, she turned to Evan and replied sincerely, “It’s not healthy to drink so much, Mr. Seet, and I have to take care of the girls, so I can’t stay too long. As such, will three glasses of wine do?”
Three glasses…
The glow in Evan’s eyes dimmed, but he nodded in agreement.
“Let’s get this started then.”
Nicole walked to Evan’s side and picked up the bottle of red wine. She checked the label and saw that it was the Romanée-Conti. That was a luxury brand and was so expensive that only millionaires could afford it.
Nicole suddenly felt like the bottle in her hand weighed over a ton. She was a little nervous and was especially careful when she poured the velvet red liquid into the glass. After that, she placed the bottle aside quickly because she was terrified of dropping it. She couldn’t afford to compensate for it.
Evan held the wineglass up and swirled the red wine around. The beautiful red wine danced under the reflected light and looked delicious.
Evan admired the beauty for quite some time before he took a sip.
“Wanna try some? It’s a superb wine,” said Evan as he turned to Nicole.
Nicole shook her head and in a serious tone, she reminded, “Mr. Seet, I’ve said that I won’t drink with you.”
Evan grinned nonchalantly before downing the rest of the wine in his glass.
He placed the glass on the table, and Nicole stepped forward to top it off for him.
Evan didn’t pick the glass up. Instead, he turned to Nicole and asked, “How long have you known Rocky?”
Nicole replied honestly, “Almost three years.”
“What do you think of him?”
Nicole deliberated before answering, “He is kind to me. He helped me out a lot when we were studying abroad together.”
Evan didn’t say anything about that.
His eyes shone with a hint of sorrow, and his expression turned cold. He slowly lifted his wineglass.
Nicole thought that he drank rather quickly. Ah, great! Let’s just get this over with. She was about to step forward to pour the third glass of wine when he placed the wineglass back on the table.
He hadn’t had a sip.
Why pick the glass up if you’re not going to drink any? C’mon, just down it quickly.
Nicole couldn’t help pursing her lips a little, and Evan caught that when he suddenly turned around.
“Got a problem?”
Nicole was stunned, and she shook her head like it was a rattle drum.
She was just the hired help, so she didn’t dare to complain.
Evan was satisfied with her reply and attitude.
If that woman had complained, I would have dragged this on until tomorrow morning!
Evan turned around. He grinned gracefully before he picked the wine glass up once more. After that, he murmured a single sentence.
