Nicole’s expression was remorseful. If she had known earlier they were the bodyguards Stephen was talking about, she wouldn’t have agreed.
It was all her fault for not asking for any clarifications before she said yes.
On a side note, Nicole thought that John actually was wittier than Evan, but the former was more lacking in terms of appearances.
But since the two of them wanted so desperately to stick to her, Nicole decided to give them a chance.
She contemplated for a second before replying, “Are you guys sure you want to be my bodyguard? It might get dangerous sometimes, so you might want to put more thought into it.”
John smirked internally. Is she trying to scare us away?
Nicole’s threat was nothing to John and Evan. To them, it was all gibberish.
“Ms. Nicole, please be assured. We are fearless. We swear we’ll take any bullets for you.”
Nicole was too proud to give them a reply. We shall see!
She flicked her brows at them and strutted in the direction of her room.
Evan was contented. He finally found an official reason to stick to Nicole.
After Nicole entered her room, Evan and John stood guard at her door.
John suddenly realized that it must be tiring for Evan, as he was not used to grunt work since he was the president of a company. “Mr. Seet, you should go rest up. I’m fine staying here alone.”
Evan glanced into Nicole’s room. “She’s waiting for one of us to make a mistake so she could get rid of us. Are you trying to give her a reason to fire us?”
John was speechless. He turned around to look inside the room.
Evan’s words were true indeed. Inside the room, Nicole was munching on some roasted pumpkin seeds as she stared intently at the two of them by the door.
John could tell from the maniacal glow in her eyes that she was waiting for the two of them to blunder.
John turned back around to face Evan. He sighed, “Mrs. Seet is so terrifying now that she’s lost her memory! Mr. Seet, should we ask Darius and Damien to check if there is any cure for her condition?”
“Send Jeremy and Jensen too. Darius and Damien might need help.”
John goggled at Evan in bewilderment.
Evan furrowed his brows. “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” John hurriedly shook his head.
“Spill it!” Evan commanded.
John coughed dryly and lowered his tone, “I thought you enjoyed being tormented by the amnesiac Mrs. Seet, which was why I was shocked by the fact that you sent so many people just to look for a cure for her amnesia.”
Even though John was almost whispering, Evan could catch each of his words. He glared at him. “You think I’m crazy? Why the hell will I enjoy being tormented by her?”
John’s tongue got stuck in his throat. You’re not crazy, Mr. Seet. It’s men’s nature to revel in a little bit of torture from women.
Evan was irritated by John who was obviously trying to contain his laughter.
He was about to kick his assistant in his knee when a loud growl halted him.
“Don’t fight!”
Nicole stormed to the door. She scowled at the two of them. “Cut it out, you two! You guys are supposed to work with each other to ensure my safety, not beat each other up! How can you two protect me if you guys accidentally kill each other?”
Evan and John both fell silent.
Huh? Are we so weak that she thinks we might accidentally kill each other?
Mrs. Seet, are you trying to stop us or curse us to death? What’s with that fierce look?
“Get your bodies straight! If I catch you two quarrel again, you two will do burpees as your punishment!”
John immediately straightened his back. Evan eyed Nicole for a split second. For some reason, after losing her memory, Nicole was as vicious as Satan’s spawn.
He couldn’t help but wonder how would the current Nicole treat her own children.
The children will definitely be depressed to learn that their mother has become such a spiteful person and can no longer recognize them anymore.
Sigh, why do I have to be so ill-fated?
After Nicole lambasted the two of them, she went back to her seat.
Now the two men were alone, Evan reminded John in a haste, “Hurry up and contact Jeremy and Damien. We need them to get started with their search for Nicole’s cure as soon as possible!”
“Alright. I’ll head to the bathroom to give them a call. If Mrs. Seet questions, tell her I’m having a stomach ache. I sure don’t want to do burpees.”
Having announced his plans, John sneaked off to the bathroom.
Upon receiving John’s call, Jeremy and Damien set off to find a cure right away.
Meanwhile, on another side of the planet, the four children just got back from school. Sheila Muir greeted them warmly in the living room.
