Juan told Kyle about the overtime when they spoke on the phone. He even learned that Nicole had his siblings to feed themselves.
However, Kyle didn’t dare to share that aloud because his Mommy told him that he couldn’t let his Daddy know about Juan’s existence.
Kyle was stunned and never said a word.
Evan frowned and thought about how Kyle had hid the smartwatch away when the door was opened…
Could it be… Did Nicole tell Kyle about the overtime? Is that why Kyle is worried about me finding out who he was talking to?
Evan’s dark eyes narrowed. That woman is trying to drive me and my son apart by telling Kyle about how I messed with her at work? Oh, Nicole Lane, you are going to be so dead!
Kyle didn’t dare to say anything anymore when he saw how furious his father looked. The former simply drank his soup.
Kyle only had a sip before he spat it out. After that, he claimed to be full even though he never took a bite. He got up angrily and returned to his room.
Evan stared at the boy’s tiny figure and felt terrible.
Is he going on a hunger strike for Nicole’s sake? Does Nicole think that she can get out of working overtime by conning Kyle into not eating? Does she think she can do whatever she wants by manipulating Kyle?
Countless incidents happened after she cured Kyle, and that must’ve affected Kyle’s mind deeply. No, I can’t let her anywhere near my son anymore!
That afternoon, Evan rushed to Nicole’s desk angrily as soon as he reached the office.
He saw, via the glass window, that Nicole was writing away.
This woman is fluent in the language from A Nation, and she can be an asset to the company. Hence, she can stay if she wants, but I will not let her anywhere near Kyle again!
Evan made up his mind and opened the door.
Nicole was stunned to see him walking in suddenly. She stood up. He’s probably here to check on the handwritten documents.
Nicole handed a few pieces of paper to him and said, “Is Mr. Seet happy with this?”
Evan checked the document. To his surprise, her handwriting was pretty neat, and she actually had been writing everything by hand.
However…
Evan’s irises constricted. He ignored the beautiful handwriting and the effort Nicole put in it before tearing them apart cruelly.
“I am not satisfied. Rewrite everything!”
Nicole saw how Evan had torn the documents that she skipped lunch to work on. She clenched her fist, and the fury in her was no longer controllable.
She was about to complain when she heard Evan sharing yet another surprising news with her.
“You are no longer needed as Kyle’s nanny, so stay away from him!”
Evan spoke like he was barking military orders, and his tone was domineering.
“Why not?” asked Nicole as she frowned in confusion as she looked at him.
It was bad enough that he bullied her at work. Now, he won’t let her near Kyle anymore? This man is really going all out against me.
Evan glared at her in disdain before he scoffed, “You knew the reason. Do you really think that you can manipulate Kyle and get whatever you want? That won’t happen. Not even in your dreams!”
Manipulating Kyle? When have I ever manipulated Kyle? And what did I supposedly make him do?
“Evan Seet, what are you talking about?”
“You told Kyle about how you’re working overtime, and you knew what you asked him to do.”
When have I ever told Kyle about me working overtime?
Evan’s convinced tone made Nicole feel like she couldn’t clear her name.
“I didn’t do any of that! I honestly didn’t.”
Evan ignored her. His sharp gaze shifted from her before he walked out of the office.
Nicole’s heart felt hollowed out when she saw the pieces of paper on the floor.
Evan Seet, you a*shole! How could you do this to me?
Nicole was in a daze the entire afternoon. She knew what the consequences were for stubbornly going against Evan.
Sophia made the job arrangement and if Evan acted that way, then he must’ve already come up with a way to deal with Sophia. As such, there was no way he would hold back on bullying Nicole.
But what about Kyle? He needs his mother!
