After Juan returned to his room, Nicole turned to glance at Evan’s bedroom once again.
He must be upset about my plan to avenge my mother.
Suddenly, Nicole felt that she had made a big mistake.
What if my words made Evan even more determined to help Sylphiette?
With that, Nicole slapped herself harshly.
“You can’t trust Evan. Not ever!” Nicole mumbled to herself as she continued to beat herself up on her way back to her bedroom.
On the other side, Evan thought about what Nicole said to him.
If what Nicole said was true, then there must be something wrong with the information John has gathered.
Somebody was deliberately feeding him false information and setting me up. Damn it!
After grabbing his phone, Evan immediately called John, who was sound asleep.
When his phone rang, John covered his ears with a pillow and cursed, “Who the hell is calling this late? Crazy bastard!”
Evan continued to make the calls after John missed the first one.
After his phone seemed like it had been ringing forever, John finally reached out from his blanket to answer the call, “You’d better have a f*cking good reason to call or I’ll… “
“Or what?”
The familiar voice stunned John in the middle of his fit.
After checking the caller ID, John quickly sat up straight as his heart started racing, “That… That wasn’t me just now, Mr. Seet.”
It was difficult for John to come up with somebody else to blame when he lived alone.
“It must be the dog then.”
Even though John knew who Evan was referring to, he had no choice but to agree.
“Is there something you need, Mr. Seet?”
Evan then told John everything that he wanted John to look into and warned, “You’d better get what I need in three days, or you’ll be the company’s new guard dog.”
A dog? I sure don’t want to be on Mr. Seet’s bad side.
With Mr. Seet’s request, John could do nothing else but agree.
After the phone call, John took a deep breath, and check the call history to make sure that it was not just a dream, “Why the hell did I sign up to be his assistant?”
The next morning, Nicole got up to prepare breakfast.
One by one, the children entered the dining room, and so did Evan.
After noticing how busy Nicole was at preparing the delicious-looking breakfast, Evan suddenly asked, “Do I need to pay for the food?”
Seeing how Evan slammed the door the night before, Nicole answered surely, “It’s free for the children, but not you.”
“How much is it then?”
After some calculations, Nicole gave Evan an amount, “One thousand!”
With pizza, milk, and nutritious porridge on the table, Evan was just about to agree when his phone text alert sounded.
After taking a look at his phone, Evan raised his head to look at Nicole, “One thousand is too much. I’ll give it a pass.”
Nicole could not believe that the president of Seet Group actually thought that one thousand was too much.
“Kyle, Juan, let’s go watch a show.”
The boys looked at each other before asking curiously, “Where are we going, Daddy? What show is it?”
“A marvelous show back at Rose Garden.”
They both got excited as Evan shamelessly packed half of the pizza saying that it was for the boys.
Finding it hard to believe that the little ones could finish that much pizza, Nicole gave Evan a dirty look before he left.
Getting himself a free meal, huh? Does this president know no shame?
A war of words was raging on at Rose Garden.
Sitting on the bed, Davin looked daggers at Sylphiette as he cursed at her for doing despicable things.
