What I did to him?
Nicole felt like her heart was about to fly out of her chest at any moment.
No way, right? I couldn’t possibly have… forced myself onto him after getting drunk, could I?
She widened her eyes and glared at Evan the next second.
“You… You could’ve resisted. I’m only a woman, plus, I was drunk. You, on the other hand, are a strong and fully grown man. I couldn’t have overpowered you unless you let me. You could’ve-” she paused abruptly.
“Evan Seet, you definitely intended to take advantage of me, right? Otherwise, why would allow something like this to happen?”
Evan was rendered inarticulate.
He narrowed his eyes into slits at her.
What does this woman think happened?
After Nicole berated him for his actions, she noticed that Evan was looking at her with narrowed eyes and an odd glint in his gaze.
Is this b*stard really just going to stay silent?
She snatched up a pillow and hurled it at him. “How dare you take advantage of me, you perv!”
“I suggest you think long and hard before assuming anything. Perhaps you wished something had happened, but maybe things didn’t happen the way you think they did?”
Nicole was slightly dumbfounded. She raced through her mind to find the missing pieces.
She remembered that someone had sprayed water onto her with the showerhead and that she seemed to have hit that person. Everything after that came up blank, so she assumed she had fallen asleep.
“So you mean, nothing happened?”
“What? Are you disappointed?”
Nicole was taken aback. B*stard! You’re the one who’s disappointed!
So this b*stard was able to remain unaffected even when a barely conscious and attractive woman lay right before him? Is there something wrong with him?
When thoughts like this appeared in her mind, she quickly gave herself a mental slap. Nicole Lane! Where’s your dignity? Don’t become a laughing stock in his eyes!
“It’s good that nothing happened then,” she mumbled under her breath.
Suddenly, she lifted her head again to ask, “Then why did you change me out of my clothes?”
“Your alcohol tolerance is crap. You puked all over the place and it was f**king disgusting!”
So that’s why.
Nicole’s whole body stiffened and mortification lined her features.
No matter how she looked at it, Evan really did help her.
After some deliberation, Nicole offered him a sincere smile.
“Mr. Seet, I’m really sorry about what happened. And thank you for helping me too.”
“You tortured me the whole night. Do you really think a simple thank you is going to cut it?”
Evan’s anger had not subsided yet and he pierced her with his cold gaze.
“If our sons and I hadn’t run into you last night, you would’ve been…” he trailed off.
“Tell me then Mr. Seet, how should I repay you?”
Evan was slightly stunned as he did not expect her to be so serious. “Bring the Lane Corporation documents to me at the company.”
He did not wish for her to sell herself for the sake of that shabby company, Lane Corporation.
After saying his piece, he turned around and left.
That’s it?
Does he intend for me to repay him or is he planning to help me?
That jerk Evan wouldn’t have come up with some kind of evil scheme to trick me, right?
However, Lane Corporation was already at the point beyond salvation. Lane Corporation would no doubt receive infinite benefits from a collaboration with Seet Group, that is if she could pull it off.
Hence, even if he was setting a trap for her, she had to go.
Nicole pondered about it as she got out of bed and went to the dining room. When she saw that there was milk and pizza on the table, the edges of her mouth lifted up into a smile.
Did Evan prepare breakfast for me?
Looks like he prepared breakfast for the four kids too, so that they wouldn’t go to school on an empty stomach.
I never thought that someone with his personality would know how to take care of others.
After washing up, she jovially sat down and began eating. The pizza was delicious, with a texture that was soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. She was rather impressed by it!
I didn’t think you’d know how to cook, Mr. Seet!
When she was done eating, she decided to sort out the Lane Corporation documents.
She was going to meet Evan this afternoon. Seet Group had very high standards for companies that wished to collaborate with them. Thus, she had to know all the details like the back of her hand, in order to at least have a chance at success!
However, she could not shake off the feeling that something bad was about to happen this afternoon.
At noon, she picked Maya and Nina up from kindergarten. When Maya walked into the apartment and found that Evan was nowhere to be seen, she pouted unhappily.
She tipped her chin upwards to stare at Nicole with large, expectant eyes. “When is Daddy coming back?”
Nicole thought about it for a while before saying that he would come when he brought Juan and Kyle over the next time.
Maya’s large eyes grew contemplative. Juan and Kyle only come over on weekends, and the weekend just ended. So, it means I have to wait for another week. When she thought about how long she had to wait, her face became even more sullen.
