Spinning her head around, Nicole found that she was unable to spot the man who had surfaced in her mind.
Then again, this is not that surprising either. Evan’s thousands of kilometers away from me now. How can he appear here?
“Nicole, you’re so useless. You even plan to leave him forever, but after merely two days, you miss him so much that you’re starting to hallucinate. You can’t be like this… Don’t be such an idiot!” she mumbled to herself as she strode back to her room.
Entering her room, Nicole removed her coat and hung it on the rack. Then, she lay on the bed and started to think about tonight’s plan.
At the same time, Evan had just returned to his room. Sitting on the rattan chair leisurely, he turned on the listening device that he planted on Nicole. After connecting it to his phone, he coincidentally heard her earlier mumbles.
Evan’s face fell. What is she talking about? Leaving me forever?
Could it be that instead of a rendezvous, she’s actually going to secretly elope with Rocky?
Does she have a death wish?
Clenching his fists, he furiously punched the table.
Just you wait! Tonight will come!
…
The time that Nicole had been eagerly anticipating had arrived— it was finally eight o’clock! As promised, Rocky made his way to her room.
Immediately after he entered, Nicole told him to take a seat.
“We don’t have much time. Sit down quickly.”
“Okay.”
As soon as he took his seat, Nicole took out the disguises that she had bought in the morning and started to apply make-up on his face.
As Rocky was acquainted with Sylphiette, she would not have been terrified of him if he went there looking like his usual self.
“Move your face closer to me.”
Rocky nodded as Nicole carefully powdered his face.
Although her make-up skills paled in comparison to Nina’s, it did not matter— no one could see his face clearly at night. Hence, a simple make-up look was sufficient.
“Come closer to me and close your eyes.”
“Okay.”
When she finished powdering his face, Nicole took out an eyeliner pencil and started to outline his eyes.
After a few strokes, she nodded at Rocky satisfactorily.
“I like this look. You look totally different now.”
“Well, as long as you like it.”
“Let’s continue then—”
Evan eavesdropped on their conversation through the listening device.
A cold gleam appeared in his eyes, while a frosty look hung on his handsome face. If I’d merely suspected them earlier, this conversation has only proved that my suspicions were true.
Damn it!
Evan stood there fixedly as he angrily lifted his leg, about to barge into the room. Nonetheless, Rocky suddenly responded, “I don’t have to change my clothes. This make-up is enough to prevent them from recognizing me. Let’s go!”
Evan abruptly paused, mid-action.
Make-up? Let’s go?
What’s going on?
This is not going as I’d expected.
When he heard that they were about to leave the room, he quickly hid.
Click!
The hotel room’s door opened.
Nicole and Rocky walked out, one after the other.
Scrutinizing Rocky carefully, Nicole commented, “Hmm, you don’t look fierce enough! You’ll have to pretend to be as menacing as possible to scare them, later on.”
“Don’t worry. I may not appear to be fierce in front of you, but I’m completely different when I confront others. I hope that I won’t scare you later.”
“That’s good. Well, I’ll be the judge of that later.”
Watching the both of them take their leave, Evan frowned. What are they talking about?
Not fierce enough?
What are the both of them planning to do? Are they going to collect a debt, or are they going to rob someone?
If they’re trying to collect a debt, is there a need to put on make-up and conceal their true appearances?
In that case, they must be robbing someone! Even if they’re not, they’re probably up to no good!
Rocky, that b*stard! He’s bringing Nicole along to do something bad.
What if he negatively influences her? I’ll make sure that we’re even!
With that thought, he quickly followed them.
In the morning, Rocky had already investigated where Sylvia and Sylphiette had resided— a large mansion that Sylvia had rented.
To cut down on their expenses, they did not hire any maids.
Hence, all they needed to do was to successfully enter the house. He and Nicole would be in complete control once they were in.
Nicole instructed him to hide while she knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
When Sylphiette heard the series of urgent knocking sounds, she asked curiously, “Who is it?”
