Nicole had done nothing out of the ordinary for the past few days. She did not meet Levant in secret, which was contrary to what Evan had suspected. Yet, John was still ordered to continue, in monitoring her whereabouts. Mr. Seet has a trust issue! Still, I’m rather curious as to why he has raised his suspicion to Mrs. Seet.”
“Alright. Evan is currently in a meeting. I’ll be waiting for him inside. You don’t have to inform him of my arrival. I’d just dropped by casually.”
“Noted, Mrs. Seet.” John nodded politely.
As soon as she entered the office, Nicole sat in the president’s seat. Her eyes scanned the desk drawers as she began to speculate.
If there is to be a gift in one of the drawers, where would he keep it?
After a long silence, John questioned, “Mrs. Seet, would you like to have a cup of tea?”
“No, it’s alright. You can proceed with your job. You don’t have to keep me company.”
John nodded silently. “Yes, Mrs. Seet.”
After he left, Nicole got up and shut the door of the office hastily. Thereafter, she headed back to the working desk and stared at the drawers.
Which one should I open first? Hmm… I’ll start with the bottom one. It looks perfect for camouflage. If he’d kept a gift somewhere in here, this place is most likely to be his chosen spot.
Following Juan’s instructions, she unlocked the drawer with little to no effort at all. She prayed hard that nothing was inside the moment she pulled the drawer out.
When the drawer was fully opened, a beautiful glass bottle that was kept inside left Nicole in a dazed state.
Is this what he planned to give her?
She reached her hand out to hold the bottle as she took it out. It was full of origami paper stars. It didn’t take a genius to know that it would be a time-consuming project to have made such things. Evan had to have put his heart into it, seeing as he made a bottle that was full of them.
