Evan swept his eyes at John and uttered apathetically, “She won’t put us in a difficult position.”
John was silenced by the firmness in Evan’s words. I hope Mrs. Seet really won’t cook up some disaster for us! Maybe I am thinking too much.
Yet, John could not shake off the premonition in him.
Around twenty minutes later, both cars arrived at their destination.
Nicole got off the car first before Evan and John. The two men rushed to meet up with her.
Evan took in the grandiose of the building ahead. Hmm, by the looks of this place, the Musgraves are quite impressive. Perhaps the Seet Group can consider working with the Musgraves. I wonder how are their production and sales doing.
Teeming with curiosity, Evan walked into the company behind Nicole.
“Nicole, I rushed over to meet you upon hearing that you are coming to the company. What would you like to know? I can explain everything to you.”
Levant sauntered to a spot in front of Nicole. Seconds after he stopped moving, his brows quirked up.
What is that guy doing next to Nicole?
Levant thought that Evan already went back to where he came from. He didn’t expect to see him with Nicole today. Did she remember anything upon seeing him?
Nicole noticed Levant’s eyes fixated on Evan. She was low-key amazed by him. Wow, he can remember Evan from that day? What is his mind made of?
“Let me introduce you to my bodyguards. This is Evan and this is John.”
Nicole’s gaze went from Evan to John as she introduced them. The two of them then greeted Levant.
Evan’s morose eyes were glued to Levant. The two of them were not shy to make eye contact. The tension in the room was tangible.
Evan’s domineering aura pervaded the vicinity. The center of attention had shifted from Levant to Evan.
It was irrefutable that no one could exude more dominance and superiority than Evan.
All of a sudden, the eyes of all the employees at the company were on Evan.
“Who is this?”
“He’s wearing a protective vest. So he’s a bodyguard then.”
“You are not kidding me, right? You are saying that the eye-catching man over there is a bodyguard?”
There were whispers in the crowd. Nicole studiously observed the expression on Evan who gave off a regal vibe.
The voice in her wavered. Why did I not notice how dashing Evan is as a bodyguard? Evan was always very gentle when he spoke to Nicole. He had never put on such an overbearing display. It seemed like he was born to rule the world.
At the moment, Nicole couldn’t believe that a man like him was her personal bodyguard.
“How did you become Nicole’s bodyguard?
As Nicole was still trapped in her stupor, Levant shot Evan a question.
Instead of answering Levant, Evan replied with another question, “You’re intimidated by me?”
“Pft! Do you seriously think that I am going to be intimidated by a mere bodyguard?”
The smile on Levant’s face remained as his eyes darkened.
Evan, you sure are capable. You actually managed to become a bodyguard at the Musgrave Estate in such a short amount of time. Levant made a mental note to inquire Stephen about the decision to hire Evan as Nicole’s personal bodyguard.
Nicole scrutinized the two of them. She could smell the beef between the two men. She suspected that the two already knew each other long before their encounter at the cafe earlier.
Even the words they exchanged with one another were filled with animosity.
Nicole couldn’t hold her puzzlement in any longer. “You two know each other?”
Evan gave Levant a side-eye. He wondered what Levant was going to say.
Levant chuckled disdainfully, “Isn’t he that crazy man who called you his wife at the café the other day? Of course I recognize him. He’s the loser who dreams to feed on women’s fortune.”
Huh, just because of that one encounter these two men hated each other like arch-rivals?
Nicole felt that it was unbelievable.
She turned to look at Evan as she waited for his reply.
Evan’s brooding eyes met Levant’s. “You better keep your eyes on the Levant Winery. One more case at the winery and you guys might as well shut it down.”
Nicole was baffled. Evan sounded like he knew Levant very well, but Levant seemed to imply that he only met Evan at the café two days ago.
What intention does Levant actually have?
Levant was aware of the doubtful look on Nicole’s face. He purposely added, “How did you know what happened at the winery I own? Gasp, you even dug into my background just to get Nicole? Nicole, you better be careful of your bodyguard! He’s a dangerous man!”
