Yoda could sense John’s hesitation. “Have you been affected by Davin’s attitude after working for him for too long a time?”
At the mention of Davin, John steeled himself to list down all Davin’s mistakes and unethical actions to Evan.
At last, he came to a conclusion. “Mr. Seet, there are people who’ve been eyeing to usurp the control of Seet Group recently. Although Mr. Davin has improved a lot to become a better businessman, I’m afraid he still isn’t shrewd enough to fend off the threats.”
“I’ll go back and deal with them after I finish settling my stuff here. In the meantime, this is a good chance for Davin to gain some experience too.”
John did not respond to what he said.
I’m sure Mr. Seet’s return is going to frighten them out of their wits!
But before that can happen, I’m worried that Mr. Davin will be reduced to a battered soul having to deal with the villains.
“By the way Mr. Seet, you revealed your face to Daphne just now. Won’t you be worried that…”
“I did that just to make sure she remembers me as the bodyguard of the estate. That identity is going to help in a lot of ways.”
John immediately looked enlightened. “Oh, I see. I thought you were trying to seduce Daphne just now!”
Evan whirled around and sized John up suspiciously.
Has John been learning all the wrong stuff from Davin?
Did he actually hear how ridiculous he sounds?
A girl like Daphne clearly isn’t worth my effort to do something like that!
Just then, Juan and Kyle were making their way to Yoda’s room as they thought of trying to collect more clues on Nicole’s father from him. When they reached his room, they happened to catch John saying the last sentence.
Juan furrowed his brows in displeasure. “Did John just say that Daddy is trying to seduce the bad woman?”
Kyle nodded at him. “I heard the same thing too.”
Nina and Maya, who had been trailing behind the boys, heard what they said too.
When they were back to their room, Maya approached Nicole to ask about what she heard. “Mommy, what does it mean when someone tries to seduce the other person?”
Nicole looked at the chubby girl who was blinking her innocent eyes at her. Why is a little girl like her curious about stuff like that?
How should I phrase it so that she can understand my explanation?
