Evan whipped out his phone and scrolled through his news feed.
To his dismay, one of the most trending videos was of his pants being stained with chocolate cake, resembling a certain biological accident. When he saw the absurd remarks made in the comment section, his expression soured.
He got up and headed out of his office.
“Mr. Seet, are we still going ahead with the press conference?”
“You handle it!” Evan growled as he stormed towards Rose Garden.
I, the president of the Seet Group, have never suffered such humiliation before! Nicole Lane, just you wait!
Evan gritted his teeth and clenched his fists angrily.
Meanwhile, at Rose Garden.
Davin was shocked to see Evan return so soon and inquired, “Evan, why are you back so soon? Has the press conference ended already?”
“Where’s Nicole?”
Davin was taken aback. He could clearly sense the rage overflowing from his brother’s pores.
Hasn’t Evan had enough? Is he coming back just to argue with Nicole? Oh my gosh, he’s the president, for Pete’s sake. Does he have to be so petty?
Suddenly, a voice called out, “Davin, quick, go take a look at the trending videos! Your brother’s butt is there! Hahaha!”
Her boisterous laughter could be heard before they could see her face.
Sheila strode into the room and promptly shut up upon seeing Evan.
She smiled awkwardly, “H-Hello, Mr. Seet.”
After greeting him, she quickly ducked into a corner.
Davin stared at her and inquired, “What about him?”
He glanced at Sheila, then at Evan, perplexed.
Sheila shot him a glance. Idiot! Can’t you tell that I stopped the moment I saw him? Shut up about it already!
“Where is Nicole?” Evan repeated his question in an icy tone.
Sheila remained silent.
“She brought the kids back. Evan, you’re the president of the Seet Group. Be more magnanimous! You don’t have to come all the way back here to argue with her, do you?”
Evan snarled, “I have to!”
He left promptly after that.
“It’s over! Shall we call Nicole and tell her to go into hiding for now?”
“It’s fine. She doesn’t have anything to fear. What am I supposed to do with this brother of mine…?”
Before he could finish, Sheila showed him the video she was talking about earlier and said, “Take a look at this first.”
Davin was perplexed, “Wow. Looks like Evan found a more effective method to get ‘famous’ than the press conference.”
“Fame? This is downright humiliating! He’s the president of the Seet Group and has to deal with such unsavory comments! How did Maya even think of this?”
“Maya’s behind this?”
Sheila nodded, “I took a close look. The chocolate cake on your brother’s pants should be the one I gave Maya.”
Davin exclaimed, “Oh no, it’s over now. Quick, go and help them. Evan will never let Nicole and Maya off!”
“Me? What can I do? It’s not like I can influence your brother’s decisions!”
“Even then, you have to give it a shot! Don’t let things get worse.”
…
Sheila sighed, “I can’t guarantee anything. I’ll just do my best to protect Maya and Ms. Lane.”
“Alright, now hurry up!”
Sheila then rushed to Summervale in her car.
Thankfully, she had asked Nicole for her address before she left. Otherwise, she would not have been able to locate her.
Evan parked his car, stormed up to the sixth story, and headed to Nicole’s home.
He was about to knock, but he slammed his fist against the door in rage instead!
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The banging sound of the door was especially jarring.
Nicole got out of her bedroom and opened the door, shouting, “Who is it?”
