Angela looked at him with some hesitation as she pondered whether to tell him Eliza's secret or not. She was afraid if Eliza found out about this, she would have to lose her job.However, to develop a good bond with Nick, she needed to help him with certain things because she already understood that her charms and glamour might not help her win over him.In the past, many men did not show any interest in her despite her efforts to seduce them, however, Nick was the first amongst those who showed a hint of disgust when she touched him. And for that only reason, he successfully aroused her interest, and now all she wanted was to make him fall for herThat's why she decided to reveal the secret in front of him but not at the cost of her job as she said, "I guess she must have experienced some kind of harassment in the past because when I joined the company, she asked me to check the moral integrity of men appeared for the interview to be her assistant. She asked me to put on an act to s
Nicholas looked into her eyes and before he zoned out while looking at her, he cleared his throat and said as he broke the eye contact," Let's go, Mam."Eliza felt embarrassed again and mentally cursed herself for losing control over her emotions. She averted her gaze and began to walk in the empty corridor without responding to Nicholas.Nicholas smiled and followed after Eliza with the briefcase in his hands. After they both entered the elevator, Nicholas pressed the button for the parking lot.He tried his best to not look at her now when he had known that she didn't feel comfortable with men because of some experience in the past. He didn't want to scare her. But in the narrowed space, the light fragrance emitting from her body made him restless. He couldn't help but took a glance at her and when he found her busy with her phone, he felt his heart beating fast at the sight of her. She had a round face, chocolaty eyes, dark brown hairs, a sharp nose, and red thin lips. She had put
"He is a major shareholder in WS corporations. And he will join us here in a few minutes. While we are waiting for him, why don't have we some fun in the meantime?" Neil Jackson asked ambiguously tactfully concealing the identity of the proposed partner.Eliza very well understood the hidden meaning behind his words and replied arrogantly, "I guess you should have made a thorough investigation about Davis Corporations, including its boss before deciding to join hands with us. So you must be aware that I don't like the idea of having fun with my business partners."A sense of uneasiness crept into Eliza's heart as she heard Neil mentioning WS corporations. She knew very well that this corporation belonged to Mike's father, even though he was not the successor of the company. She had not seen him in the last 5 years, however, the memories of that day still haunted her at night.Instinctively, she wanted to withdraw the partnership from this project, because she feared encountering Mike a
He recognized Mike at first glance because he was his classmate in the first year of their college. Mike was Ben Williams's illegitimate son, yet behaved so arrogantly like he owned the world. All he did was hang out with a group of boys from rich families and was often reprimanded by teachers for not being serious about his studies.Mike was popular in the college but in a bad way, to be more precise. Even though they never crossed paths with each other, he often heard rumors about his scandals in college.Nicholas remembered how Mike was once accused of r*ping and killing a girl in the college but he managed to escape because there was no evidence or witness to testify against him. After that incident, he was despised by most of the students and teaching staff in the college.Even though Nicholas never had a good impression of Mike in the past, one thing he couldn't understand was why did Eliza feel afraid after seeing Mike. Did he also do something bad to Eliza? Or was he the perso
Joe glared at him because he didn't want Nicholas to trouble Eliza for unnecessary things, so he refused straightforwardly," Miss Davis needs to have rest for the time being. You can talk to her tomorrow.""It's ok, Joe. I am not that fragile, you know. You can wait outside unless I don't ask you to come in." Eliza interrupted Joe because she didn't like talking to him with Nicholas in such a rude way.Joe bowed his head and left after coldly glancing at Nicholas.The uneasiness in Nicholas's heart improved a bit but before he could say anything to Eliza, she asked him first," You must be curious why I fainted after seeing Mike Williams, right?"Nicholas was taken aback for he didn't expect Eliza to see through him and voice out his inner thoughts in such an explicit way. He purses his lips and nodded his head waiting for her to explain further.Eliza gave a bitter smile and after she took a deep sigh, she continued as she clutched the sheet in her hands tightly," Mike Williams tried
Auntie Maria didn't show any sign of surprise as she patted the back of Eliza's hand and said while nodding her head," I have already guessed that because apart from that person, there is nobody who could drive you in such a helpless situation. But I am very sure that you will defeat him every time he would try to mess with you."Eliza was grateful to auntie Maria because her words made her gain back the self-confidence that she had lost after meeting Mike.Yes, she couldn't be scared of him anymore. She needed to fight back tactfully if she had to erase his existence in her life."It's very late now. You need to take a rest. I will be here if you need anything. Moreover, Ben is also outside, so you should not be worried about being interrupted by someone while sleeping.Eliza nodded her head and laid back in the hospital bed. She closed her eyes and tried to sleep, however even after trying for a long time, she was still unable to fall asleep because her mind drifted again and again
Even though her plans had been ruined because of Nicholas's indifferent attitude, there was nothing she could do except take it slow and not force Nicholas against his will for it would only drive them apart further."What about if we also join you guys at the dinner?" Mac said as he entered Alex's office followed by Simon and Ethan.Nicholas looked at them one by one and had a feeling that they all have gathered tonight to learn about his experience with his ' special day.' In that case, it would not be that difficult to tolerate Olivia in their presence whom he had begun to find more annoying than before after she showed up at Alex's office even after being refused by him specifically.However, what happened next was beyond his expectations as Olivia said with a light smile on her face," I had planned to dine with Nicholas at 'The Heavens' and I had reserved the seats in advance as well. But after seeing Nicholas in a bad mood, I don't think it's a good idea to force him to come wit
At 10 PMAfter Nicholas and his friends came out of the city club in a drunkard state, Nicholas suddenly received a call on his phone. As he took out his phone from his pocket, he saw 'Mom' flashing on the screen.He went to the side and picked up the phone and spoke," Yes Mom?" Even though he was not as drunk as his friends, his voice slurred a little and on the other side, George frowned after he heard Nicholas's voice from the speaker.After waiting for a long time, he had asked Shelley to call Nicholas to know when he would be arriving home. Shelley shuddered as she noticed how displeased George looked, she swallowed her saliva and asked Nicholas trying her best to not stutter," It's so late. Why are you not home yet?"Nicholas knew it must be his father who had urged Shelley to make the phone call because her mother didn't like to intervene with others unnecessarily." After I was done with my work, Alex and I decided to celebrate our business collaboration with our other friends.
