Love really does humble someone… No one in the corporate world would’ve dared take up that attitude with Mr. Seet unless they had a death wish!
He let out a sigh and walked up to Evan. “How did it go, Mr. Seet? Did you manage to explain it to Mrs. Seet?”
Evan ignored him and walked off, leaving John rooted to the spot in confusion.
Why’d he just leave like that? Did he manage to tell her the truth or not? Judging by his temper, he most probably didn’t… No, this won’t do… I have to tell her! I can’t let Mrs. Seet misunderstand him like this!
John knocked on the door and entered the room.
“Can I help you?” Nicole asked.
John nodded sternly. “I came to tell you something.”
“If this is about Evan, you can save your breath. I don’t want to hear it!”
She really does hate Mr. Seet a lot… Even so, I must say it!
In order to make sure he could finish what he had to say, John restructured his sentences. “It’s got nothing to do with Evan and everything to do with your suffering in prison.”
Nicole lifted her head and glared fiercely at him. Evan was the one who hurt me in prison! How could this have nothing to do with him? Is he just saying this to defend Evan?
“I don’t want to hear about that, John! Go speak to Evan if you insist on talking about it! Try asking him why he was so cruel towards me!”
John saw how agitated Nicole was and quickly expressed his understanding of her emotions.
As if anyone would be able to stay calm when their traumatic events are brought up, right?
“I understand how you feel. Mr. Seet, too, was devastated when he found out about your suffering in prison.”
Heh, as if Evan didn’t know about it… Is John trying to whitewash what he did?
