After some time, Maya’s stopped wailing and peeked at Evan. Will daddy hate me forever?
Evan felt frustrated when Maya burst into tears. He had not meant to trouble the kid and only wanted to settle the score with Nicole.
When he thought of the video uploaded, he felt utterly humiliated, so he did not attempt to console the instigator.
“Mr. Seet, what happened?”
Evan took his phone and showed Nicole the video saved on her phone. He then explained what happened.
When she viewed the video, she realized that Evan was not being unreasonable. Such an incident was indeed embarrassing to the president of the Seet Group.
She apologized, “Mr. Seet, I am truly sorry for Maya’s actions and would like to apologize to you on her behalf.”
“Is that all?”
“What else do you want?”
Evan mulled over it and commanded, “Work as a cleaner in my office as compensation!”
Work as a cleaner? Given Evan’s petty personality, this will be a one-way trip to hell.
She could already tell that he had something in mind when she saw his wicked expression.
Nicole protested, “Mr. Seet, please make a more reasonable request. While it was true that Maya shouldn’t have placed the cake on the sofa, this matter could’ve been avoided if you took a look before taking a seat. The responsibility doesn’t lie solely with the child.”
Evan was taken aback. Is she trying to say that this is my fault?
“Watch your tongue!” Evan warned.
Nicole quipped, “I’m afraid I do not understand, Mr. Seet. Please point out the parts of my apology you find inappropriate.”
…
Although she had chosen her words carefully in order to make life difficult for Evan, she maintained a sincere smile on her face.
