Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 846

However, Gregory was an experienced man.

He immediately fixed his facial expression and walked toward her.

“Why haven’t you slept?”

He asked with a deep yet magnetic voice.

Vickie looked at him without answering his question. Instead, she asked, “Have you settled the matter?”

Gregory knew what she was asking about.

He looked at the woman in front of him. He was not in a rush to answer her question. Instead, he was wondering whether she was still mad at him or not.

He knew what kind of person Vickie was. If she was mad, she would never ask him that question.

She would not even bother to talk with him.

After all, giving the silent treatment was commonplace for her.

Maybe she was not mad anymore?

Even though Gregory did not know the reason behind her actions, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

He nodded his head. “Yes, everything’s settled.”

At that moment, the two of them looked at each other without uttering a single word.

Vickie was silent because she had mixed feelings. As such, she did not know how she should initiate the conversation.

On the other hand, Gregory was silent because he could not make up his mind. After all, he did not know what Vickie was thinking at that moment. As such, he did not want to act recklessly. If he accidentally said something wrong, then he would just be adding insult to injury.

As such, he dared not speak as well.

After a moment of silence, Vickie let out a deep sigh and said, “Since you’ve already settled everything, then you should sleep early as well. I…”

She stopped for a while. At the end of the day, she could not convey her true feelings. It was as if her words had antennas. Once those words reached her throat, they would cling onto her throat, preventing those words from leaving.

At last, Vickie said, “I’m going back to my room.”

After she finished her sentence, she hurriedly turned around and got ready to leave.

However, as she turned around, a man stopped her in her tracks.

“Wait.”

Gregory walked toward her. Then, he stood in front of her to block her way.

Vickie raised her head to look at him.

The man in front of her had a complexion that was as clear as jade. The dim lighting served to accentuate the deep contours on his face, making him look more handsome than before. Maybe it was due to the alcohol, but his cheeks had a slight hint of red. He looked totally different from his usual cold demeanor.

He looked at her. He then hesitated for a while before saying, “Were you… Waiting for me to return?”

Vickie was startled.

As she looked at those careful eyes of his, her heart felt as if something had poked it.

She pouted and nodded her head in silence to show that she was not denying his statement.

Right after that, a colossal wave of happiness flowed into the man’s heart.

He began to grin as he asked, “Do you have anything you want to say to me?”

Vickie thought for a while before shaking her head.

She wanted to tell him at first.

However, she did not know why she could not utter those words once they were at the tip of her tongue.

Vickie did not want to force herself. She thought that It was alright to let things be. Time would prove everything in the end. Maybe one day, she would see through that man’s heart as well as her own.

As such, she did not need to say anything before that day.

As she thought of this, she looked at him and displayed a gentle smile.

“Get some rest.”

The elderly from the Nolan family might have been worried that the young people would not be able to fully enjoy themselves. As such, they only showed up at the beginning as none of them were spotted later.

Everyone brought their partners to the party. Vickie came to the party alongside Gregory. Naturally, she would be his partner for the party.

Quite a lot of Massimo’s friends were acquaintances of Gregory as well. As such, a number of them came to propose a toast with Gregory.

As Vickie was recovering from her injuries, she could not drink any alcohol. Gregory was worried that she would get tired from standing too long. He was afraid that her injuries would worsen as well. As such, he brought her to the lounge to rest.

It was still early at that moment.

Vickie told Gregory to do whatever he wanted. She had also stated that she could rest in the lounge alone.

Gregory and Vickie were not cheesy people. As such, Gregory left without saying anything after helping Vickie settle down in the lounge.

After he left, Vickie took out her phone and started to play with it on the sofa.

After approximately half an hour, she could hear a commotion coming from the outside.

She was currently at a private lounge that Gregory had requested for her. He knew that she did not like to share a room with strangers.

As such, people would not have entered the lounge.

However, it was clear that someone had come in judging from the commotion outside.

She raised her head and saw Massimo leading a group of people who were laughing when they entered.

“Hey Vick, I’ve been looking for you all this while. Just as I was wondering why I couldn’t find you anywhere, I found you quietly playing with your phone over here. Today’s my birthday, how can you hide over here? Especially when you took the trouble to come here! Come and join in the hype with us.”

Vickie could not control her laughter. “I can’t drink alcohol, so I can’t join in the hype. I wouldn’t want to ruin the atmosphere.”

However, she had already stood up.

After all, he was the birthday boy. It would be rude to refuse his invitation.

Massimo waved his hand without a care in the world. “No one’s forcing you to drink alcohol here. You drink water while they drink alcohol. Come on and play games with us.”

As he said that, he pulled her hand and exited the lounge before she could say anything.
