Chapter 357


    John coughed. “Ms. Lane, you can start with the advantage yourpany has, such as—”


    “Lane Corporation has advantage? Get real,” Evan shot John down.


    John piped down. If the corporation has no advantage to speak of, then what do you want her to talk


    about? It’s impossible.


    Nicole frowned. She had the same question John had. What should I talk about if mypany has no


    advantage at all?

    “Yourpany might have no advantage, but not you. You can appeal to my emotions,” Evan


    reminded her, but John was shocked to hear that.


    Mr. Seet hates underhanded tricks like moral ckmailing, and now he wants Ms. Lane to do it? Wait,


    is he asking her to sell herself out? Oh my god, Mr. Seet.


    “Appeal to your emotions?” Nicole’s brows furrowed. How am I supposed to do that? We have no love


    between us.


    Unbeknownst to Nicole, Evan had found out she was the youngdy back then. She thought he was


    talking about her giving birth to Juan and Kyle. Maybe he’s talking about that.


    She coughed. “Mr. Seet, if you agree to work with us and give us a leg up, once I get the corporation up


    and running, I’ll buy everything money can buy for our sons. They’ll—”


    “Do you seriously think my sons need anything else?” Evan stopped her. Is she not going to talk about


    when we were kids?


    Nicole was stumped. Yeah, he doesn’t need money, so why did I say that anyway? Hm, so how should


    I appeal to his emotions?


    Nicole mulled over it for a moment. “Mr. Seet, please help me this time, for the time we spent together


    in Rose Garden.”


    Rose Garden. Is she finally going to say it? Evan’s eyes started gleaming. “The time we spent in Rose


    Garden? Exin.”


    “Um…” Does he have amnesia? I just moved out of that ce. ”I mean, I lived with you before, so we


    did stay under the same roof. That counts as time spent together, no?”


    Evan frowned. “That’s not it. There’s another time where we lived together,” he reminded her.


    Another time? Nicole was at a loss of what he wanted her to say. Once more, she looked to John for


    help.


    John was equally perplexed, but still, he whispered, “Ms. Lane, it’s natural you couldn’te up with


    anything, because nothing has happened yet. I think you can appeal to his emotions by being more…


    proactive. If you catch my drift.” He coughed.


    Nicole frowned, her expression horrified. “Y-You mean you want me to d-do that?”


    John gave her a thumbs up. “Smart.” The moment he said that, a teacup flew into his face and fell to


    the ground, smashed into pieces.


    John looked up at Evan carefully. Oh my god, did I guess it right? Is that why Mr. Seet is annoyed?


    Man, I’m too smart to be here. ”Mr. Seet, I’m just giving her a pointer. You’re being too reserved. She


    can’t get what you mean.”


    “I don’t need your reminder! You’re making things worse! Get out!”


    Wait, I’m making things worse? Oh, so that wasn’t what he wanted? ”Mr. Seet, if you’re not nning on


    doing that, then why did you ask her to appeal to your emotions? Just go on with work—”


    Evan gave him a sharp re that shut him up, and he scurried out of the room like a scared mouse.


    When he was far enough, John heaved a sigh.


    He looked inside and shook his head. “You really think I like being the third wheel? You think I’m in the


    way, well I think you’re too reserved. Just tell her that you like her, gosh. Appeal to your emotions?


    Man…”
