Chapter 278


    Rocky isn’t a simple guy.”


    Nicole frowned. For a long while, she thought about what Evan said before she nodded in agreement.


    Given the house he loaned her, it was obvious that Rocky’s identity wasn’t as simple as she used to


    think.


    However, she wasn’t all that curious about him. She only saw him as a friend, and everyone had a


    past. She was okay with her friends having some privacy.


    Evan turned around to examine her when he realized that she wasn’t asking any questions about


    it. Does that mean she already know about his identity?


    “So do you like him or his…” Power?


    Evan didn’t utter thatst word because he thought that Nicole would understand his question.


    Nicole, however, remained quiet. She didn’t like Rocky or any of his things, so there was no point in


    discussing it.


    Why is Evan so curious about me and Rocky?


    Nicole crossed her fingers and asked, “Do you like Sylphiette, Mr. Seet? What do you like about her?”


    Evan was taken aback.


    He didn’t expect those questions from Nicole.

    His expression turned grim, but he didn’t answer her question. He didn’t demand an answer from her


    about Rocky either. He simply picked up the winess and downed the wine.


    Nicole saw him drinking like that and assumed that he was admitting to being in love with Sylphiette by


    drinking.


    That makes sense. He is the renowned Mr. Seet, and no one can force him to do anything he didn’t


    want to. As for why he likes Sylphiette… Well, that is his business, so why did I even bother to ask


    about that? Man, I am such a busybody.


    Nicole was having an internal monologue when Evan turned around. His sharp gaze was stuck on her,


    and his voice was distant when he ordered, “Pour the wine.”


    Nicole came around and stepped forward. She had just picked up the bottle when she suddenly felt


    Evan’s arm naughtily circled around her waist.


    Her heart thumped faster, and she said, “Mr. Seet, please move your arm away.”


    “Ah, sorry. I am a little drunk,” imed Evan, who pinched Nicole’s waist despite his words. Nicole


    instantly blushed hard.


    She turned around and red at him while her face was utterly reddened. She was about to lose her


    temper when he suddenly pulled her in.


    That surprising move ambushed Nicole and made her fall. She hadn’t had a chance to ce the bottle


    down before it zipped in the air and Smash! fell onto the floor.


    Nicole’s heart instantly froze over.


    Shoot!


    The ridiculously expensive wine had spilled everywhere.


    She retracted her gaze from the wine bottle and nervously turned to Evan.


    Evan’s beautiful eyes were staring at her at the time, and his lips were grinning mischievously.


    “You broke my bottle of wine, so pay for it,” said Evan.


    Pay for it? I can’t afford that. Besides, this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t suddenly acted up.


    How is that my responsibility?


    “Mr. Seet, I think you should apologize to me in addition to paying for that bottle on your own.”


    Evan stared at the fuming, beautiful face that was right in front of him, and his eyes shone like he was


    enchanted.


    Nicole saw that, and her heart skipped a beat. She then realized that the position they were in was


    actually…


    Why haven’t I pushed him away? What is wrong with me?


    Nicole quickly hopped out of his arms and adjusted her clothing.


    “Looks like you won’t be collecting your pay again today.”


    “What is that supposed to mean?” blurted Nicole after hearing what Evan said.


    Is this b*stard going to cancel out all my pay topensate for the bottle of wine?


    “You seduced me and destroyed a bottle of excellent wine. How will youpensate for that?”


    Nicole stared at Evan in bewilderment. She was tempted to run over and mutte him at that moment.


    Who’s the undisciplined idiot who tried to seduce the other? Ask yourself that and be f*cking honest!


    Who would’ve thought that Evan’s specialty isn’t just misreading the situation and using me? He is


    freaking good at framing me too! That a*shole.


    “Evan Seet! You were the one who… Have you no shame?”


    Evan looked at her as if he were actually in the right, and he announced formally, “Nope.”


    Nicole was speechless.


    She was stumped because there was nothing she could say when he behaved so shamelessly.


    Isn’t it worse if I keep quiet? Well, I can’t get my money anyway, so I might as well yell and vent out all


    of my frustration.
