After John knocked on Nicole’s door, he entered the room without waiting for her response.
“Ms. Tussaud, you must have worked hard. Why don’t you take a rest?”
“It’s all right.” Nicole looked up at him. Her gaze then lowered to look at the fancy box in his hands. “What’s this?”
With an overjoyed expression, John explained, “Ms. Tussaud, our president ordered this from the best dessert store in the city for you. Do try it.”
Evan ordered this for me?
From the best dessert store?
Nicole stared at John in disbelief, wondering if she had heard him wrong. That bastard Evan. How can he possibly be nice to me?
“I beg your pardon?”
John looked at her before repeating his words in a serious tone. He even added, “Ms. Tussaud, you didn’t hear me wrong. Mr. Seet had specially ordered this for you.”
Did Evan really ordered this for me?
What happened to him? Does he have ulterior motives?
After all, there are no free lunches in this world. What is he planning?
Knitting his brows, John looked at the contemplating woman. “Ms. Tussaud, our president is actually nice to his employees. Last month, one of the staff members’ family was diagnosed with cancer. He needed money, and Mr. Seet gave him his annual salary in advance without hesitation.”
Nicole fell silent. She had not expected an inapproachable man like Evan to have sympathy.
Is John saying that Evan is encouraging me as my employer?
Yes. That must be it. Evan wants me to go through the documents carefully. It seems like the collaboration with A Nation is quite important to the company. I’m useful to him.
Sensing her worth, Nicole smiled.
She then lowered her head to look at the mousse cake. She had always been reluctant to buy the cake. It was a long queue for the new products of the dessert store. Not to mention that even if she had the money for it, she still might not be able to get it.
The last time Maya saw the poster, she stared at it for nearly a day. If I bring it back for the three kids…
For a moment, Nicole thought she could see the way Maya’s eyes lit up at the sight of the cake.
