Chapter 16 A Shallow Man


    Chapter 16 A Shallow Man


    As she turned her head, nche noticed that Eric hade closer and was staring at her


    intensively.


    Eric was taken aback by her stunning beauty and couldn''t help but feel a flutter in his heart as he


    gazed into her bright eyes. Her forehead was smooth and fair, and he had the urge to move closer.


    nche stepped back and touched her face. "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there


    something on my face?"


    Eric was enchanted by her fingers, which were also beautiful. His gaze moved downward, taking in


    her slender swan-like neck, which seemed to glow in the sunlight.


    A broad smile spread across his face, revealing his pearly white teeth. "They say you''re ugly. Can


    you take off your mask and let me see what you really look like?"


    Somewhat inexplicably, he found himself utterly captivated by the allure of nche.


    As Eric came closer, nche furrowed her brow. She was already pressed against the fence and


    had nowhere else to go.


    She nced at him and narrowed her eyes. "Don''te any closer. But do you really want to see?"


    Eric obediently stopped and looked at her expectantly. "Yes, I do."


    "Okay, I''ll show you."


    nche seemed to be moved by Eric''s eagerness and reached up to remove her mask.


    As he Watched this scene, Louis'' eyes were about to spout fire. His eyes twitched twice.


    "Sir, Mrs. Herbart seems unaware of the dangers of society. Shall I step in and intervene?" Sam


    asked.


    But Louis was unmoved. He was feeling conflicted at the moment.


    He was about to see nche''s face without her mask, and he felt both angry and oddly jealous.


    How could this woman reveal her face in front of others?


    nche blinked and pulled the string on her mask. "Don''t blink, and I''ll only show you once. If you


    miss it, it''s not my fault."

    Eric''s heart was racing. "Okay."


    Just as she was about to remove her mask, two angry voices suddenly spoke up.


    "What are you two doing!" Louis'' voice was harsh and abrupt, as he appeared in front of them.


    "If you want to see me make a fool of myself, there''s no need for you to stick around." nche also


    let go of the string on her mask and curled her finger to deliver a sharp punch to Eric''s head.


    Both nche and Eric were stunned. How could he be here? Had Louis heard what they were


    saying earlier?


    "Louis, what are you doing here?" Eric was embarrassed.


    "Two people who are supposed to be at the hospital at two o''clock are wandering around outside?"


    Louismented, looking at his watch. He was speaking to Eric, but his gaze was fixed on


    nche.


    "Oh no, we''rete again. Grandma is going to scold us. nche, see you next time. I have to go."


    Eric ran away, his face turning pale.


    His grandmother was always fond of punctual people. She would set a time for everything, and if


    someone was one minutete, they would be lectured for at least half an hour. Their ears would be


    ringing by the end of it.


    Eric fled in a panic, and nche opened her mouth in surprise. Was their grandmother really that


    terrifying? Her cheeks flushed as she turned away, only to be met with the cold stare of Louis. She


    pouted and pulled out her phone, dialing a number.


    "ra, have you arrived? You have? Then hurry over here."


    As soon as she hung up, ra got out of the taxi and ran over, noticing that their young master was


    also present. She became nervous.


    "M... Mr. Herbart, Mrs. Herbart."


    "ra, let''s go." nche grabbed ra''s arm and prepared to leave.


    Feeling ignored, Louis became furious and grabbed nche''s arm, his voice so cold that it sent


    shivers down her spine.


    nche paused and turned back to face him, their eyes meeting in a cold stare. "Mrs. Herbart, I''ll


    wait for you over there." ra couldn''t hold it in any longer and retreated to a distance.


    nche pursed her lips. "ra and I are going to the clothing store to buy clothes. Are you nning


    oning with us?" She asked as he grabbed her arm.


    Louis looked her up and down twice and was momentarily stunned. He spoke without thinking.


    "What are you buying clothes for? Who are you trying to impress with your looks?"


    "Hmph, I''ll wear it for everyone to see. Oh, and I''ll be attending Grandma''s birthday banquet. Let go


    of me. I''m heading to buy some clothes for the asion," She dered.


    "You''re not allowed to go. It''s not just about you being embarrassed. I''ll also be embarrassed. No


    matter how beautiful the clothes are, can your scar disappear? A woman who''s unattractive will still


    be aughingstock, no matter how well she dresses."


    nche was annoyed at hearing him call her ugly repeatedly. "Are you annoyed? You keep calling


    me ugly. You''re just a shallow man who only cares about looks. Forget it, and I don''t have time for


    you. I''ll buy some nice clothes and give you face at your grandmother''s birthday banquet."


    Then nche left, leaving behind only a faint fragrance.


    "nche," Louis shouted after her in disbelief. He couldn''t believe that this woman had slipped


    away from him so easily. nche pulled ra along and ran away quickly.


    At the same time, Sam saw his boss being put in his ce and tried to hold back hisughter.


    Unfortunately, Louis noticed and ordered him back to thepany.


    "Yes, sir," Sam replied, feeling embarrassed. But he couldn''t help thinking that nche was quite


    interesting.
