Chapter 111
Vicky stood still. "What are you trying to say?"
Nikki looked slightly hesitant. She knew Vicky was not an easy woman to deal with, and she especially knew that with just a few words exchanged.
Vicky had a strong mind. If Nikki did not provide any solid evidence, it was hard to make her crumble.
Nikki took a deep breath and said seriously, ’Mister Hart has someone special in his heart. He'll never love you."
"Are you saying that he won't love me, but there's a chance he will fall in love with you?" said Vicky.
"I don't know if Mister Hart will fall in love with me or not, but I'm sure my chances are higher than yours," Nikki replied.
"On what ground?" Vicky asked.
Nikki glared at Vicky. ’I'm not trying to overreach. I know I'm not able to let him fall in love with me at my current stage, but it's alright—I'm willing to wait. I'm willing to make sacrifices, and I'm even willing to take a shot..."
At this point, she smiled bitterly. "Even if I'm a substitute or a shadow of another person. It doesn't matter."
Vicky's pupils wavered. "A substitute? A shadow?”
Nikki continued, "Since you're here every day, you should know Mister Hart comes here to see my performances too. The place he'd sit is very close to the stage. Every time I looked at him, I can see him looking at me with a weird look.”
"A weird look?" Vicky wondered.
"Yes." Nikki's eyes became blurred like she drowned in her thoughts. "It's hard to describe the look. It's like he's using me...to look at another person."
