He emphasized the word “Mrs. Seet” as if he wanted to remind the other man who Nicole truly was.
However, Levant paid no heed to it as his smile remained. “Fine. We’ll let my future wife tell it to you personally.”
Your future wife? What a joke. How can he be this blatant to say such a thing?
Evan ignored him as he was secretly trying to come up with a plan to prevent Nicole from going out with Levant.
Suddenly, the bedroom door swung open as Nicole, who was now dressed glamorously, stepped out.
Evan stared at her intently as bitterness filled his heart.
Seeing her put in such an effort in her appearance, she must really want to go out with him.
Levant approached her. “Shall we?”
The woman faintly nodded.
“Since we’re going to relive our moments, can you ask the bodyguards not to come along? I can protect you myself,” he deliberately raised his tone.
Evan’s gaze darkened upon hearing that. You don’t even have any moments with her to begin with. What’s there to relive?
“Sir Musgrave has entrusted her safety with us so we must perform our duty no matter what. We refuse to leave her side,” said John in a rage.
At this moment, all three men had their eyes on Nicole.
I’m going out with Levant to ask him about my past with him. It won’t be too convenient to have them around since it’s going to be personal.
“I’ll let you both take half-day off,” she concluded. “Please clean the garden. You can resume your work as bodyguards in the evening.”
“Half day isn’t enough for us, Nicole. We need the whole day to ourselves,” said Levant.
Nicole was frustrated. Damn it! Why did we have to promise to spend the whole day together on this anniversary? Was I the one who came up with that? I want to slap myself if I was.
“Then I’ll let you take the whole day off.” She stared at Evan and John.
This is a good thing for them. Every bodyguard will be happy to have been given a day off.
She was completely oblivious of the meaning behind Evan’s icy eyes.
“Ms. Nicole, we’re your bodyguards. In order to fulfill Sir Musgrave’s command and to perform our duty, please let us do our job,” John chimed.
Goodness. They’re so devoted and honest in their job.
Nicole studied him with a frown. Is he plotting something? Her eyes traveled from John to Evan and back to John. If they’re up to something, I must not let them succeed.
“That won’t be necessary,” she rejected.
After she said that, Levant threw Evan a provocative look before the pair left the scene.
John sighed to himself as he stared at the retreating figures.
“Mr. Seet, what should we do?”
“We’ll secretly follow them,” replied Evan as he glared in the direction of the pair.
“You’re so smart, Mr. Seet!”
Meanwhile, Levant had brought Nicole to the lakeside. The calm lake was like a mirror. The woman looked at her own reflection as her pink lips curled upwards.
“You’re so beautiful, Nicole.”
She turned her head only to notice Levant staring at her intensely. His action made her uncomfortable as her smile turned stiff.
“Why did you bring me here, Levant?”
“Because this is where we came to know each other.”
“We met here?”
“Yes.”
Nicole stared at him suspiciously yet listened to his lies in silence.
After he finished talking, Nicole found herself still immersed in the story, but she could not figure out how to feel about it.
In Levant’s story, he had heroically rescued her when she was nearly killed by a car.
