He got up and left.
He’s really leaving now, right?
However, Levant ended up following her back into her office instead.
Huh?
He’s still not leaving?
“I’ll be busy for the rest of the day. You should leave now since there’s nothing for you to do here.”
“Though it’s not appropriate for me to hang around, the woman I want to see is here. I don’t want to leave because you’re here.”
Damn it. He sure is persistent. What do I do?
Should I anger him and make him storm off on his own? Or should I tell him off? Or maybe I should sweep him out the door?
Levant assumed that Nicole wasn’t sure how she should seduce him. He watched her fall deep into thought. Hence, he took the initiative to walk up to her side, allowing her the chance to act.
“Ms. Lane, we’ve met a total of three times, and I’ve been observing you the entire afternoon. I’m pretty sure you’re my type. We should try dating each other. What do you think?”
Levant looked at her suggestively as he spoke. He was already fantasizing about her making the first move.
He would strike while the iron is hot the moment Nicole made the first move. He would then propose that they return to the Musgrave family in K Nation as soon as possible together.
Everything would go according to his plan, and he would soon be able to fortify his position as the heir of the Musgrave family.
However, just as he thought everything was going as planned, what Nicole said shocked him to his core.
The woman looked at him and said firmly, “I’m Evan’s wife, now and forever. I won’t date nor marry anyone else besides him. We will never work out! So please don’t waste any more of my time and leave.”
Nicole spoke from the bottom of her heart in all seriousness.
Levant was stunned. He had not expected her to react in such a manner. However, he readily understood that she was sincere about her rejection of him.
Could it be that she never planned to hook up with me?
I’m the heir to the Musgraves. How could she not be attracted to me?
No… There’s just no way.
“Do you really not desire fame and fortune?”
“I only want to raise my four kids well for the rest of my life. I don’t have any other desires.”
Fame and fortune were tempting, but she only had eyes for Evan. She was well aware that such things didn’t belong to her. She might not have been happy if she had achieved fame and fortune through something she had never actually meant to do. Not to mention the fact that she wasn’t even interested in such materialistic matters.
Levant fell silent for a long while, and his perspective of her suddenly changed for the better.
The love and affection he had halfheartedly shown her were now being replaced with feelings of respect.
Levant was surprised that Nicole stood her ground even when he offered her fame and fortune.
The man was also in awe of her loyalty towards Evan since she was willing to become a widow for his sake.
It was rare to meet women like her.
Man, she’s really something.
It looks like things won’t be going according to plan now.
“I’ll be getting out of your way then.”
Levant turned around and left.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief when the man was finally out of her line of sight.
She sat back on her office chair and busied herself with work.
Lane Corporation’s trouble reminded her of Sheila. The latter had once mentioned that Muir Group would cooperate with her.
So, Nicole decided to call and ask about it. As long as Muir Group agreed to it, she would be willing to share a part of the profit with them, showing her gratitude towards Sheila.
Sheila picked up the woman’s call and immediately agreed to it.
Nicole soon heard from Sheila that Davin was also in trouble.
The board members of Seet Group, especially those who had something to do with his uncles, were deliberately giving Davin a hard time. Everyone was waiting to see if he would be able to get through the first three months.
“Is there anything I can do to help?”
“There actually is, Nicole!”
She was surprised to hear Sheila’s firm response.
“Nicole, Kyle is a hacker, isn’t he? Davin has some ideas on how he shall strike. Let’s talk about it tonight with Kyle at Imperial Garden. What time are you heading back?”
“Seven.”
“Noted. We’ll be there on time.”
After she hung up, Nicole specially called the butler to prepare a sumptuous dinner as they would be having guests tonight.
