Nicole was surprised to see him again. Didn’t I make myself clear yesterday? What’s he doing here again today?
“Ms. Lane, he said he won’t leave unless you meet with him.”
She had firsthand experience of his stubbornness yesterday.
Hence, she thought it was best to make herself clear to not waste any more time.
“Let him in.”
Levant soon sauntered into her office with a faint smile on his face. “Good morning.”
“Why are you here? Haven’t I made myself clear yesterday?”
Levant smiled. “You were crystal clear about it. So I’m also certain about my feelings for you now.”
Nicole was speechless.
What does he mean?
Levant saw the shocked look on her face and offered an explanation. “I had thought that every woman in this world was materialistic and would throw themselves at me because of my social status. However, I don’t think that’s the case anymore. Because of you.”
Nicole did not understand his words.
Levant looked at her with love and affection as he stated, “I’ve really fallen in love with you. Please give me a chance.”
She gawked at him silently.
What the hell? This is no different from yesterday.
He’s doing it again! Why on earth is he so persistent?
“There are lots of women from noble families out there that are well suited for you. I really can’t come up with a reason as to why you would want to date me, a mother with four kids. What exactly are you after?”
“Love.”
“No, I’m pretty sure you have another reason for this.” Nicole was fairly certain about his motive as she looked at him.
Panic flashed across Levant’s face, but he quickly put on a faint smile. “You seriously want to know the real reason?”
“Tell me all about it.”
“This reason has everything to do with the Musgrave family. I can only tell you if you marry me.”
The Musgraves’ secret?
Hell, will I be murdered if I know too much?
Forget it, I’d better not hear him out.
“Leave then. I don’t want to know. I won’t marry you either.”
“Nicole, I will win you over with my sincerity and make you marry me willingly.”
