“Anything else?” Evan asked in an icy tone.
John froze and subsequently shook his head and darted out of the room.
After closing the door behind him, he frowned and let out a long sigh. “I wonder who or what enraged the boss. Someone’s going to get it.”
Right when Evan was about to pick up the file, his phone rang. He took a glance before answering.
“Evan, did you read the news today?”
“What is it?”
“Nicole and Rocky! That’s nonsense. Nina and Maya being Rocky’s children? That’s absurd. Don’t fall for the fake news.”
“What does that have to do with me?”
“Evan, listen to me, Nicole is not that kind of a person, she…”
He hung up on Davin before the latter could even finish. I know just what kind of person Nicole was.
Looking at the darkened phone screen, Davin had a bad feeling something was going to happen, so he called Nicole.
“Nicole, what’s going on?”
“I’ve no idea how this happened. Rocky and I are not an item. My work at the clinic has been seriously affected by this widespread rumor.”
“Don’t panic. Why don’t you explain to my brother first?”
Nicole was taken aback. “Why should I explain to your brother?”
“H-he seems to have misunderstood the situation and thought that the rumor is true. So… I think that it’s better you… clarify with him.” Davin hesitated.
Upon hearing that, Nicole sank into deep thought.
He misunderstood? So Evan thinks that this whole scandal is true? If that is so, then everyone else would believe it too.
“Hey, say something.”
Say what? Wouldn’t it be weird if I call him to explain the situation? It’s probably unnecessary.
“Your brother can assume anything he wants. I need to attend to something. Bye for now.”
“Hello? Hello?”
Why does everyone hang up on me when I’m doing what I could for their sake?
“This is so frustrating!” Davin murmured as he chucked his phone aside.
Shortly after, Kyle and Juan scurried into his room, wanting to find out if he had made the vixen leave their father.
Davin then realized that he was distracted by the rumor and had forgotten to update his brother about this important matter.
“Have some faith in me. I won’t disappoint you.” After saying so, Davin immediately left for Seet Group.
As he walked into the president’s office, he was greeted by Evan’s long face and a floor filled with scattered torn papers.
“It seems like incredible hulk was here.”
Davin carefully avoided the crumpled paper balls to get to Evan.
Evan shot him a look and barked, “Bugger off!”
Davin gulped. Looks like the hulk is still here. This raging flame is probably not going to die out anytime soon.
“Bro, I’m here for something important. I know that you’re with Sylphiette because…”
“This is not the right time or place to discuss something personal. Get out!”
Evan’s hostility terrified Davin. It doesn’t look like he’s ready to listen to whatever I have to say now. Maybe I shall wait till he gets home.
“Ok, fine, we’ll talk about this tonight.” Davin left shortly after.
That evening, Davin wanted to create an opportunity for Evan to meet up with Nicole. Hence, he said that his car was in the workshop and told Evan to pick up Kyle and Juan himself.
After answering the call, Evan drove to the kindergarten.
Just as he parked his Maybach, he spotted Nicole leading her two daughters and making their way towards his direction.
Is this woman here for Kyle and Juan? A liar like her should never go near my sons.
Evan swung his car door closed and walked to her with a sullen face.
The encounter came like a bolt from the blue for Nicole. Who on earth is blocking my way?
She was startled when she lifted her head and saw Evan scowling at her.
