“Rocky isn’t a simple guy.”
Nicole frowned. For a long while, she thought about what Evan said before she nodded in agreement.
Given the house he loaned her, it was obvious that Rocky’s identity wasn’t as simple as she used to think.
However, she wasn’t all that curious about him. She only saw him as a friend, and everyone had a past. She was okay with her friends having some privacy.
Evan turned around to examine her when he realized that she wasn’t asking any questions about it. Does that mean she already know about his identity?
“So do you like him or his…” Power?
Evan didn’t utter that last word because he thought that Nicole would understand his question.
Nicole, however, remained quiet. She didn’t like Rocky or any of his things, so there was no point in discussing it.
Why is Evan so curious about me and Rocky?
Nicole crossed her fingers and asked, “Do you like Sylphiette, Mr. Seet? What do you like about her?”
Evan was taken aback.
He didn’t expect those questions from Nicole.
His expression turned grim, but he didn’t answer her question. He didn’t demand an answer from her about Rocky either. He simply picked up the wineglass and downed the wine.
Nicole saw him drinking like that and assumed that he was admitting to being in love with Sylphiette by drinking.
That makes sense. He is the renowned Mr. Seet, and no one can force him to do anything he didn’t want to. As for why he likes Sylphiette… Well, that is his business, so why did I even bother to ask about that? Man, I am such a busybody.
Nicole was having an internal monologue when Evan turned around. His sharp gaze was stuck on her, and his voice was distant when he ordered, “Pour the wine.”
Nicole came around and stepped forward. She had just picked up the bottle when she suddenly felt Evan’s arm naughtily circled around her waist.
Her heart thumped faster, and she said, “Mr. Seet, please move your arm away.”
“Ah, sorry. I am a little drunk,” claimed Evan, who pinched Nicole’s waist despite his words. Nicole instantly blushed hard.
She turned around and glared at him while her face was utterly reddened. She was about to lose her temper when he suddenly pulled her in.
That surprising move ambushed Nicole and made her fall. She hadn’t had a chance to place the bottle down before it zipped in the air and Smash! fell onto the floor.
Nicole’s heart instantly froze over.
Shoot!
The ridiculously expensive wine had spilled everywhere.
She retracted her gaze from the wine bottle and nervously turned to Evan.
Evan’s beautiful eyes were staring at her at the time, and his lips were grinning mischievously.
“You broke my bottle of wine, so pay for it,” said Evan.
Pay for it? I can’t afford that. Besides, this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t suddenly acted up. How is that my responsibility?
“Mr. Seet, I think you should apologize to me in addition to paying for that bottle on your own.”
Evan stared at the fuming, beautiful face that was right in front of him, and his eyes shone like he was enchanted.
Nicole saw that, and her heart skipped a beat. She then realized that the position they were in was actually…
Why haven’t I pushed him away? What is wrong with me?
Nicole quickly hopped out of his arms and adjusted her clothing.
“Looks like you won’t be collecting your pay again today.”
“What is that supposed to mean?” blurted Nicole after hearing what Evan said.
Is this b*stard going to cancel out all my pay to compensate for the bottle of wine?
“You seduced me and destroyed a bottle of excellent wine. How will you compensate for that?”
Nicole stared at Evan in bewilderment. She was tempted to run over and mutilate him at that moment.
Who’s the undisciplined idiot who tried to seduce the other? Ask yourself that and be f*cking honest!
Who would’ve thought that Evan’s specialty isn’t just misreading the situation and accusing me? He is freaking good at framing me too! That a*shole.
“Evan Seet! You were the one who… Have you no shame?”
Evan looked at her as if he were actually in the right, and he announced formally, “Nope.”
Nicole was speechless.
She was stumped because there was nothing she could say when he behaved so shamelessly.
Isn’t it worse if I keep quiet? Well, I can’t get my money anyway, so I might as well yell and vent out all of my frustration.
