Nicholas was devastated. Where did I go wrong? Why won't she accept my feelings?
Sophie placed her finger on the trigger. Aware that she would shoot him without mercy, the man could only leave right away.
Despite being quick on his feet, Sophie fired at him—but he was wearing a bulletproof vest beneath his clothes.
He had come prepared knowing that she might kill him without a second thought.
Moreover, he moved so swiftly that he remained uninjured. “One day, you'll come to me willingly. I promise you this, Sophie.”
Not wanting to remain in such a situation, Nicholas had no choice but to leave.
The hypnotist has everything prepared. All I need right now is a chance, and when the time is right, she'll be mine.
Sophie chose not to go after him.
She had come to Anglandur with the main goal of protecting Barney. If she were to leave now, someone might act in her absence.
Thus, the woman kept her silver gun away and lay down. It was time for bed.
Immediately upon returning to the Sable family's headquarters, Nicholas began to wreck every object he came across.
No one in the house dared say a word.
Richard was just as terrified. Nicholas was truly ill and had no control over his own behavior at this point.
The latter finally calmed down after a long while.
Only then did Richard walk up to him.
“You really don't have to be like this, Boss. Everything has been prepared. All that's left is the right opportunity.”
When the time came, Sophie would naturally return to his side.
It didn't matter if she was unwilling.
“Get someone to clean this place up,” Nicholas ordered. Thanks to his bulletproof vest, he only felt a little sore at the spot where Sophie had shot him.
Yet, his heart was in grave pain.
How could he not be affected when the person he loved treated him this way?
Alex immediately instructed for the place to be cleaned up.
“You haven't had dinner yet, Boss. I'll get someone to bring you your food.”
Nicholas shook his head.
“There's no need. I'm not hungry.”
No one else understood his obsession with Sophie, but he just couldn't let her go.
Barney and Arius were done preparing by the time Sophie woke up the next day, so the three of them had breakfast together.
Butterfly was ready too.
“You may not be able to enter the medical association, Ms. Sekelsky. I'm afraid you might have to stay at the hotel for the next two days.” Barney knew what Butterfly had come here for, and he was extremely grateful for that.
Unfortunately, not everyone could enter the medical association.
Unfazed, Butterfly cast Sophie a glance.
Would it really be okay if I didn't follow them?
The International Medical Association is the perfect setting to make a move on them. Will they be fine without me?
