“You did ask the children to take my nude photos. I can’t imagine what else you could come up with?”
The nude photos were a misunderstanding! But I can’t argue about that, and I won’t.
If Evan thinks I’m a nasty and unscrupulous woman, then be it.
“Believe or not, I didn’t use the children to send myself into your arms.”
Realizing that she was actually in Evan’s arms, Nicole paused briefly before finishing her sentence with the last word.
“You realize you’re actually in my arms, right?”
Good god!
This is really awkward.
Nicole then quickly straightened up and deliberately stepped back to keep her distance from Evan.
Well, that was embarrassing.
Before she even had the time to recollect herself, Nicole was hit by Evan’s cold words, “You can get out now.”
Get out?
I should seize this opportunity to convince Evan instead.
Grabbing the corners of her shirt nervously, Nicole raised her head to look at Evan, “I need to talk to you, Mr. Seet.”
“Go on,” commanded Evan before turning his back to Nicole.
He could still feel the warmth that was in his embrace a moment ago.
Staring at Evan’s back, Nicole sighed secretly as she wondered if he was really that disgusted with her.
Anyhow, Nicole decided that she had to speak her mind about her stand against Evan’s help to Lane Corporation.
