Chapter 293

    Chapter 293


    It had always been that way. Nathan thought he was the elder sibling, and adding to the


    fact that Nicole was a foodie and extremely active, he subconsciously became quieter.


    Also, his attention would always be on his sister, watching over her and making sure


    she didn’t say something she shouldn’t or get hurt.


    Now that ric told him he didn’t have to act that way, he felt tears welling in his eyes,


    and his great pride made him bow his head, afraid someone would see his expression.


    ric naturally understood what Nathan was going through. It was also then that he


    finally understood that even a young child like Nathan had dignity, and he should


    respect that.


    Having thought of that, he coaxed him, “Go on inside. Nicole must be waiting for you.”


    “Okay.” The little fellow nodded and went inside but only turned back to look at ric


    after a while. “Mr. Night, I’ll… help you keep your secret.”


    “Will you? Thank you so much, Nate.”


    ric beamed, and he waited until Nathan disappeared from his sight before his smile


    gradually disappeared, but it reappeared very soon. N?velDrama.Org holds this content.

    He didn’t expect his words would bring such a surprise. Since Nathan agreed to help


    him keep the secret, it meant their rtionship had grown closer.


    Meanwhile, Victoria was still focused on work, with no idea that her son had swapped


    sides.


    She was more rxed when dealing with interpersonal rtionships recently because


    Bane hadn’te looking for her since that day, and he hadn’t texted her either. It was


    like he had disappeared into thin air.


    That surprised her because she had prepared herself to say even harsher words to


    Bane if she came looking for her again.


    Fortunately for her, he didn’t appear again because she wasn’t sure if she could say


    such hurtful words to him again.


    But what surprised her more was ric. He hadn’te to find her again since the day


    they went car shopping.


    Although she didn’t know what happened that day that caused him to disappear


    suddenly, it was currently the best result as her life could now gradually return to its


    former calm state.

    Chapter 293 Have You Forgotten Our Rtionship?


    Nicole and Nathan were still young. Once they grew up a few yearster, the situation


    with herpany would have be more stable, and their days would be easier.


    While she was lost in thought, her phone began ringing. She took a look, and her


    expression instantly changed.


    ”


    Although she didn’t save his number, she remembered it after ncing at it a few


    times. She thought he had finally disappeared from her life but received his call the


    next moment. Reality had proved her wrong. So, some things aren’t meant to be


    thought about.


    3/7


    After thinking about it, Victoria switched her phone to silent mode and ced it beside


    her. She wanted nothing to do with him anymore.


    Once she did that, her office was silent again, and she could focus on her work.


    However, Henry knocked on her door a few minutester.


    “Miss Selwyn.”


    Hearing his voice, Victoria moved her gaze away from herputer. “Yes?”


    Henry nodded and then went over to give her his phone. “Your call.”


    Chapter 293 Have You Forgotten Our Rtionship?


    Victoria was confused and thought she heard it wrong. Why would someone looking


    for her ce a call to Henry’s phone?


    She shot Henry a confused look, but Henry shook his head and handed her his phone.


    4/7


    With no other choice, Victoria took the phone, but when she saw the contact number,


    her face fell because it was ric! Calling my employee just because I didn’t pick up his


    calls? What does he want?


    Pissed, Victoria asked angrily, “ric, do you think it’s fun?”


    But she received silence in response, while Henry instantly felt his blood run cold after


    seeing how angry she was.


    Although he knew Victoria and ric were previously married and seemed quite close,


    it was ric on the other end. The usually cold and resolute man, who was also their


    current investor. Couldn’t she be gentler when speaking to him?


    But he didn’t dare to make a sound and could only try to hold his breath and act


    invisible.


    Seeing that ric wasn’t saying anything, Victoria did not n to end the call but


    asked, “Why aren’t you speaking?”


    Chapter 203 Have You Forgotten Our Rtionship?


    Only then did the man finally speak. “What do you want me to say?”


    “Why did you call my employee?”


    ric asked, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?”


    “That’s hrious. Why should I answer your calls?”


    A long whileter, ric gently chuckled. “Victoria, do you think this is a private call?”


    Victoria was confused and didn’t answer.


    5/7


    “Have you forgotten our rtionship?” ric reminded her casually, “Do you need me to


    remind you?”


    When Victoria heard that, her rage instantly diminished because she realized ric was


    now herpany’s investor.


    But she soonposed herself and asked, “So what? Even if we’re business partners,


    you shouldn’t be calling my employee, right? Did our contract state that you’re allowed


    to harass my employee?”


    ric chuckled softly before asking, “Well, does our contract state that you can ignore


    your investor’s calls?”

    Chapter 293 Have You Forgotten Our Rtionship?


    Victoria pursed her lips and said nothing.


    “Should I remind you that you still haven’t given me the promised business proposal?”


    ric’s cold voice and words instantly alerted her.


    Business proposal? She suddenly looked at Henry, but Henry couldn’t hear their


    conversation, so he was confused as to why she was looking at him.


    As though she suddenly realized something, she apologized, “I’m sorry about that. I’ll


    get back to you once I find out why.


    “Sure.”

    Once the call ended, she returned Henry’s phone to him. “Haven’t you sent our business


    proposal to Cadogan Group?”


    Hearing that, Henry felt even more confused. “Aren’t you responsible for that?”


    Now it was Victoria’s turn to be confused. “Was I supposed to be responsible for that?


    Wasn’t it you?”


    Henry replied, “No, it’s not, Miss Selwyn. You and Mr. Cadogan are more familiar with


    each other, so I thought you would do it yourself.”


    Mon,


    Chapter 293 Have You Forgotten Our Rtionship?


    Speechless, Victoria rebuked, “Oh, I should do it because I’m familiar with him?”


    7/7


    “But you’re the boss.” Henry blinked his eyes and argued, “Didn’t you say you’ve already


    put down your feelings for him? I thought you would personally take up the


    responsibility to send him the business proposal.”


    That rendered Victoria speechless. Fine, she thought. Any longer, their conversation


    would get steered toward her rtionship problems, and she wasn’t in the mood to


    discuss that with her employee. “I understand. I’ll deal with it, so you can get back to


    work.”


    “Sure.”


    Once Henry went out, Victoria sighed and leaned back into her chair. So, did he call her


    only for the business proposal?
