Then, a tall man walked in.
He brought with him the crisp smell of tobo, which Tessa found inexplicably familiar, so she looked
up nervously.
The person who came in was none other than Nichs!
Seeing that it was him, Tessa breathed a sigh of relief, and she wasn’t as scared as before.
Fortunately, it was just him. But, what was he doing here?
She looked up at Nichs and saw that the expression on his face was a little sour and gloomy, not as
calm as usual. He was frowning, his demeanor hostile as he stared at her with anger in his eyes.
Suddenly, her heart thumped. “You—”
Tessa was about to ask him why he was here and why he was looking at her like this.
But, before she could say anything, Nichs closed the elevator doors, causing her to gulp. Nichs is
quite scary when he acts like this...
It seemed as if she had done something wrong, and he was here to seek revenge.
However, Tessa didn’t know what she had done wrong. After they rified matters that day, they had
only seen each other once, and the two of them didn’t even speak.
Now that he suddenly showed up, she found it strange no matter how she thought about it. She shrank
into the corner, as far away from Nichs as possible.
When Nichs noticed her minor movements, his eyes darkened a little. Before Tessa could escape,
he pressed her against the elevator wall in a swift action and trapped her.
“P-President Sawyer, what are you doing?”
Tessa was nervous and found this kind of enclosure a little stifling, so stifling that it made her
ufortable. She wanted to escape from his confinement.
To her surprise, Nichs lifted his other hand’and pressed it against the wall as well, firmly trapping her
between himself and the elevator, not giving Tessa any possibility of escaping
“W-What are you doing? Don’t do this.” Tessa began to panic a little, thinking that he was being truly
frightening.
His voice was hoarse as he muttered, “Is that man the reason you rejected me?”
For a moment, Tessa was taken aback, then she realized who Nichs was referring to.
She didn’t expect that after so long, Nichs hade to her only to question her about this matter.
However, the fact that she left the Sawyer Residence and left Gregory had nothing to do with Scott.
The two of them only started to meet after she had made up her mind to cut off rtions with the
Sawyer Family.
Tessa didn’t know how powerful Nichs was, but she knew that she must not provoke him. He was
number one on the list of people not to provoke in Brentwood
City.
Scott was such a good person, so she didn’t want to implicate him because of her own affairs. Turning
away, she said subconsciously, “It’s not what you think. We’re just—”Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Nichs pressed himself closer to her, his scorching spreading across her face. “If it’s not what I think,
then what is it? You’re just what? What else do you want to exin?”
Seeing as Tessa was speechless, he gritted his teeth and snarled, “Tessa, you’re quite something. In
just the blink of an eye, you already got intimate with another man. Did you leave because you have
someone you want more?”
Tessa was immediately annoyed by his remarks. What does he mean getting intimate? What does he
mean ‘someone I want more“?
–

She didn’t do anything. These were all just figments of his imagination!
She suppressed her anger. “Nichs, do you have to be so harsh when you speak?!”
Nichs snapped angrily, “Wow. You’re actually calling me by my name now because of that man?”
“Enough with the nonsense. He and I aren’t what you think. The two of us are just friends from work,”
Tessa said coldly.
Nichs sneered, “Friends from work? Wow, you’re friends now. You’ve only known each other for a
few days, but you’re friends already? Was this premeditated, or did
you just randomly find a man to hook up with?”
There were thorns in these words, and each sentence was more unpleasant than the one before. In his
eyes, what kind of a person have I be?
His remarks angered Tessa in an instant.
