I hope Nicole doesn’t feel anything for Evan because of this.
“What’s there to thank? Saving her is my duty, after all.”
Nicole is my wife and the mother of my children. It’s natural for me to save her. I don’t need an outsider to thank me for that.
Nicole watched as another unknown war was about to happen between the men again. The clueless woman then found an excuse to escape.
When she left, Evan glared at Levant before taking his leave as well.
The scene of them leaving together irritated Levant greatly as he stomped his way towards Stephen’s study room.
“Why did you hire Evan to be Nicole’s bodyguard?” he questioned furiously.
Stephen glanced at him before replying calmly, “There’s no mention that I can’t hire him as her bodyguard in our agreement. Why are you losing your cool? You’re unsure of yourself and afraid that she’ll fall for him, aren’t you?
Levant clenched his fists silently, for the other man had guessed it correctly.
As Evan would benefit from his frequent interaction with Nicole as her bodyguard, there was a great possibility that love would blossom between them.
Like hell I would let that happen!
That night, Levant restlessly tossed and turned in his bed as he tried to come up with a way to prevent the flame between Evan and Nicole from reigniting.
When morning came, he strolled towards Nicole’s door and pounded on it.
The woman was completely puzzled when Levant came to find her this early.
“Yes?”
“Nicole, I want to take you out.”
“I’m busy today. I don’t have time for that.”
Truthfully, she felt really pressured when she was with Levant and she did not want to go out with him, so she found an excuse to reject him.
The man stared at her intently. He knew what she was hiding from him.
He was aware that the company did not need her that much because she was still familiarizing herself with the business. She rejected me.
He remained silent while drawing up another plan in his mind.
“Nicole, don’t you remember what day it is?”
Nicole thought for a moment before shaking her head.
Why did he ask me that when he knows I’ve already lost my memories?
“Today is the anniversary of when we first met. We’ve promised to always be together on this day. Therefore, I have to stay by your side no matter what in order to keep that promise.”
Anniversary of when we first met…
Hearing that, doubt arose in Nicole again. She had always wondered how she ended up with Levant.
This is the perfect opportunity to find out.
“Levant, I don’t remember the past, but I want to find out how we met.”
Noticing the doubt behind her eyes, he knew he could not randomly brush her off regarding this, so he agreed.
This will determine our future relationship, hence I need to paint a pretty picture about it.
“Let’s take a stroll, Nicole. I’ll tell you everything as we walk. Let’s relive our moments, okay?”
Nicole nodded as a response. “Wait a minute. I’ll change my clothes.”
“Sure.”
When he was waiting for the woman, Evan and John appeared.
The latter’s face turned ugly when he saw Levant’s face this early.
“Mr. Seet, he must have an ulterior motive to meet Mrs. Seet this early.”
Of course, Evan was aware of that too as his gloomy face contorted in anger.
Levant’s face also darkened when he saw them from his spot. However, he broke a smile when he recalled that Nicole had agreed to go out with him. He then approached them triumphantly.
“You don’t have to look after her today. We’re going out on a date.”
Date? Date my foot! You’re deceiving her! I can’t believe how you can even shamelessly show off like this!
John gave him a condescending look as he glared at Levant. “As Mrs. Seet’s bodyguards, we have to ensure her safety at all times. Furthermore, it’s not up to you whether we want to stay by her side or not!”
