Chapter 1357


    Chapter 1357 Staking A im


    Sally has a silver tongue, so I might not be her match when ites to verbal sparring. Therefore, I’ve


    got to y some tricks and go all out! As Juan’s thoughts progressed in that direction, he swiftly had an


    idea.


    After thinking the entire n through, he drawled, “You want to y games with me, huh, Sally? I’ll


    have you know my methods and back out voluntarily.”


    In the other room, Kyle stared at the moonlight reflected on the ground. He tossed and turned, his


    profound eyes brimming with worry.


    Truthfully speaking, he felt that Juan’s analysis back at the Seet Residence indeed made much sense.


    There’s no doubt that Sally approached the Seet family deliberately. But what’s her motive? And what


    exactly does Grandma know? Also, does she really have feelings for Juan and is willing to date him?


    Or… does she merely want to use him to draw closer to the Seet family?


    While he brooded upon it, he felt that Sally and everything that had to do with her was a mystery. I’ve


    got to keep a close eye on her.


    It was a very long night that dragged on interminably.

    In another room, Nina likewise had a lot on her mind and couldn’t fall asleep.


    Destiny is indeed astonishing. I wasn’t fated to be with Chris, but Stephen then appeared. And by a


    stroke of coincidence, he has many simrities with Chris. I just can’t help seeing Chris’ shadow in the


    way he carries himself and does things. Could it be that God took pity on my infatuation and sent him to


    me? And could there really be two people withpletely different looks and figures yet appear so


    alike in certain demeanor and thoughts?


    The more she contemted it, the more mystified she grew. Stephen was a mystery, and she was


    inexorably gripped by the urge to unearth his secrets.


    As soon as Nina arrived at the office the next day, she saw Stephen talking to a woman.


    From the look of things, they seemed exceedingly intimate, so much so she couldn’t help wondering


    about their rtionship.


    When she had drawn close to them and heard the woman acting coquettishly with Stephen in a gentle


    voice, realization instantly dawned upon her. She’s probably his girlfriend.


    When she halted for a moment, Stephen spotted her as well and greeted, “Good morning, Ms. Nina.”


    “Ms. Nina? Is she your boss? She’s really beautiful!”


    After saying that, the woman trained her gaze on Nina and studied her. Nina likewise started


    scrutinizing the woman, finding her very much alluring. Well, well… He has quite the taste.


    “Nice to meet you. I’m Nina.”


    “Nice to meet you. I’m Stephen’s girlfriend, Mnie Read.”


    At that moment, Mnie found Nina to have a superior aura the average womancked that she


    actually felt a tad inferior.


    Nheless, she didn’t show it in the least but continued looking into Nina’s eyes with a smile.


    “The two of you really make a good match.”


    “Thank you, Ms. Nina. Actually, I have an ulterior motive ining here today. I want everyone here to


    know that Stephen has a girlfriend.”


    Mnie crossed her arms, making it abundantly clear that her remark was meant for Nina. Clocking


    her expression and demeanor right then, Nina understood the meaning behind her words.


    Don’t worry, Ms. Read. Ourpany prioritizes work, and the female employees here know where to


    draw the line. They’ll naturally keep a respectable distance from Stephen.”


    “I’m d to hear that! I’ll keep your words in mind, Ms. Nina.” When Mnie had finished saying that,


    she reached out and patted Stephen on the shoulder. “Have a good day at work. I’ll be leaving, then.”


    “Sure.”


    After she had left, Stephen shed Nina a sheepish smile. “My girlfriend is a bit willful, so please don’t


    take offense at her, Ms. Nina.”


    “It’s fine. I can tell that she must love you very much since she came to the office to stake her im to


    you.”


    At that, Stephen was at a loss for words.


    She loves me? Perhaps so.


    Smiling, he took out the blueprint fromst night and handed it to Nina. After ncing through it, Nina’s


    brows furrowed slightly, and dubiousness showed on her face. “If you hadn’t handed it to me


    personally, I would’ve thought that someone else did this. How did youe up with this design


    concept?”
