“Alright, once I’m done with work, let’s go out for dinner.”
“Mmm.”
Sylphiette’s eyes sparkled as she looked at him happily.
When she left the study with a smug expression, she bumped into Nicole who was at the door.
Looking at Nicole with disdain, Sylphiette smirked as she leaned in to whisper in Nicole’s ear.
“Did you hear that? Evan loves me. You don’t have to waste your time trying to break us up. No matter what you do, he will not fall for you and you’re just setting yourself up for humiliation.”
With that, she rolled her eyes at Nicole and walked away gloating.
Shameless b**** trying to break us up…
Every single one of Evan’s words felt like a sharp knife piercing into Nicole’s heart.
The worst was his final sentence: “I will never fall for her”.
She stood there stunned and was overwhelmed by the excruciating pain. Why on earth does it hurt so much that I can’t even breathe!
Is it because of Sylphiette’s harsh words? Or is it because I know she’s right?
Am I just embarrassing myself and coming between Evan and Sylphiette?
Is that the truth?
When Evan walked out, he frowned at the sight of Nicole standing outside the door in a daze.
“Why didn’t you come in? I was about to call you.”
Regaining her senses, Nicole desperately suppressed her pain and tried her best to pretend nothing happened. After that, she walked into the room with her head hung low.
“Mr. Seet, tell me more about what you need to be translated.”
“It’s all here, can you finish in two hours?”
Picking up the documents, Nicole gave it a detailed look and nodded. “I can finish in two hours. Can I work on it back at my place? I’ll bring it here later.”
Bring it back?
After giving it some thought, Evan felt that the noisy kids would be too much of a distraction. Hence, he preferred her to work in his study.
