“Whoa? Do you think it’s Mr. Seet?”
“She just went out with Mr. Seet. It must be Mr. Seet who slapped her. Who else dares to slap her other than Mr. Seet?”
A mischievous glint flickered in Nicole’s gaze. She walked back to her seat, looking aggrieved. However, she sighed inwardly that Evan did not cooperate with her.
She was waiting for someone to come over to comfort her.
Soon, an employee named Naomi walked up to her and asked in a low voice, “Are you okay?”
“I-I’m okay.”
“Your face… Is it Mr. Seet?”
“No, no. I hit the wall accidentally.”
Of course, Naomi did not believe what she said. She was almost certain that Nicole was slapped by Evan. She doesn’t even dare to voice out after being beaten by Mr. Seet. It seems that she has been putting up a lot with Mr. Seet in this relationship.
This incident quickly spread in the company. Juan and Kyle showed disbelief look after hearing that Nicole was slapped by Evan.
“Did you hear that? They said Daddy slapped Mommy.”
“Daddy slapped Mommy? Do you think that is possible?”
“No. Unless it’s the other way round.”
Kyle agreed with Juan and said, “So, I think this matter…”
They looked at each other and made a tacit agreement that they were not going to bother about this matter anymore.
When they got home in the evening, Nicole looked at Evan and questioned him, “I sent you the message and asked you to slap me in front of everyone else in the Translation Department. Why did you call me out?”
Evan said, “I couldn’t do it.”
“I asked you to slap me, and I was the one to be slapped. Why couldn’t you do it? Were you afraid that your hand would get hurt?”
“Yes. It’s hard.”
“Really, Evan? It’s just a pretense! Is it so hard for you?”
“Yes, really hard!”
He did not think that the pretense was a good idea. He was afraid that the pretense would come true, and his relationship with Nicole would turn bad due to this.
“Evan, I only want to take a shortcut. Why can’t you help me?” asked Nicole desperately.
“Some shortcuts can’t be taken!”
“I’m doing this for the company! This is the fastest way to find out the truth!”
“I disagree.”
Sensing that a fight was about to start, Juan quickly stood up and said, “Mommy, let’s leave the matter of finding the spy to us. You have two capable sons here. You don’t need to do it yourself.”
