He definitely has an agenda behind this!
“Mr. Seet, I’m sure you have many things to take care of, as busy as you are. Why would you care if I can manage a company or not?”
“Enough talk. Decide!”
Nicole was lost in thought. No matter what Evan is after, if I manage to take the Lane, the fruit of my mother and maternal grandfather’s labor, back, I’ll have nothing to complain about. As for his agenda… I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.
She decided on a simple answer.
“I accept!”
A pleased expression flashed across Evan’s eyes. You’ll be in for a lot of trouble soon enough! I’ll make sure to pay you back tenfold!
“What shall I do then, Mr. Seet?” Nicole inquired. She needed to see if Evan was sincere about helping her.
Evan’s eyes narrowed and lay on the sofa lazily. Does this woman intend to let me do all the work for her? Dream on!
“I said I’d help you, not do all the work for you! I will come to your aid twice in your attempt to regain control of the Lane Corporation. Treasure them well!”
“Twice?” Nicole frowned. I thought that he’d help me unconditionally. So this is how it goes. That filthy capitalist has his own way of counting favors, huh.
“Does that include asking questions?”
“Yes, even if it only requires a single word as an answer!” Evan jeered.
“I can answer your previous question, but that will only leave you with one chance left to ask for help! You may decide if you want my advice now.”
It’ll be a complete waste if I get a short answer. I need to make sure to make good use of both chances. Hopefully, I can force him to spend a lot of effort helping me!
“It’s fine then. I choose to preserve my two chances.”
Evan nodded.
He was curious as to how Nicole would utilize her chances as well.
After the matter was settled, Nicole decided that it was pointless for him to stay and responded, “Since we have come to a consensus, I won’t keep you here, Mr. Seet. I’m sure that as the busy man you are, you have more important things to tend to.”
Evan turned to look at her. Is she chasing me out? Fine! It’s not like I’d like to stay!
As he slowly got up and prepared to leave, someone had knocked on the door.
Nicole got up to open it.
“Rocky? I didn’t expect you at this timing.”
Rocky had come with toys and snacks for the kids.
“I came to visit and brought the kids some toys.”
Evan was taken aback when he heard Rocky’s voice and took a seat on the sofa once again.
He glanced at the two of them lazily.
Rocky was taken shocked to find Evan here as well.
“Why are you here, Evan?”
“Got a problem with that?”
Evan placed an arm lazily on the armrest and stared at Rocky calmly.
He acted as though he owned the place, even though this was Rocky’s house.
Rocky smirked, “Of course not. I welcome all guests.”
Although he sounded polite, he was asserting his authority as the owner of the place.
By saying that he welcomed Evan as a guest, he was emphasizing that he was the owner here!
Evan scowled. It’s about time this place changed hands.
Nicole felt worried when she saw the two of them bickering. What on earth do they have against each other?
