Although many women had shown interest in him, he never liked them getting too close and never wanted to engage in any intimate actions with them.
Because of this, even his family suspected that he had some kind of problem with his sexual orientation.
But now, being kissed by Nancy like this didn’t make him feel disgusted. Instead, he felt a trembling sensation that spread from his spine, and his lips unconsciously opened, allowing her to deepen the kiss.
By the time the kiss ended, Nancy’s face was already flushed. After all, this was her first time kissing a man like this.
“Do you hate me kissing you?” Nancy asked.
“I don’t hate it,” Mick replied. “But just because you don’t hate it, does that mean I like you?”
“But you wouldn’t let other women kiss you like this, right?” Nancy said. After all, there were rumors about Mick having no “love history.”
There were even gossip online saying that some women had tried to kiss Mick while he was drunk, but he had pressed their heads down on the table.
So some people joked that it was harder to kiss Mick than to reach the sky.
But now, Nancy had kissed Mick like this.
Although she didn’t know if Mick had kissed anyone else before, at least he was willing to kiss her and didn’t resist during the process. So she must be somewhat special.
As long as she was special to him, she would try her best to seize this opportunity!
“Just because it didn’t happen before doesn’t mean it won’t happen in the future,” Mick sneered lightly.
“If you think that a kiss is enough to prove that I like you, then that proof is too weak. For me, a kiss doesn’t represent all those meanings.”
“Then how about dating me for a while!” Nancy’s heart was pounding as she spoke these words. Only she knew how nervous she was, afraid of being rejected by the other person.
“Dating?” Mick’s eyes flickered as he looked at the person in front of him.
“Yes…dating, but not the formal kind. It’s just the two of us spending more time together privately. If Mr.
Reed can spare some time to be with me, then maybe after spending some time together, you’ll know whether you like me or not,” Nancy explained quickly.
Mason pondered, seemingly thinking about what she had just said.
“Of course, if after a while, Mr. Reed, you find that you don’t like then I will leave obediently. I won’t bother you, and I won’t say a word about our time together,” Nancy continued.
me,
“So, do you like me?” Mick suddenly asked.
“Yes, I do,” Nancy answered without hesitation. “There are probably very few women who wouldn’t like a man like you. Besides, you’ve helped me several times. Maybe at first I was grateful, but gradually I realized that I like you.”
As she spoke, the cold sweat in her palms seemed to increase.
She didn’t know how much of what she said Mick would believe, but her feelings were genuine. Mick had helped her several times, and she had discovered that he was different from the impression she had of the Reed family’s eldest son.
“But if you like me, then even if I find out that I don’t like you after spending some time together, shouldn’t you be trying to hold on to me and even resorting to any means necessary? Will you really leave so decisively without any further entanglement?” Mick asked in response.
Her peach blossom eyes had a hint of charm, but at this moment they were sharp as if she could see through people’s hearts.
“That’s because I know myself. If you don’t like me, then no matter how much I try to hold on, it’s useless. I might even end up embarrassing myself, right?” Nancy replied.
Mick stared at her and after a moment, he spoke slowly, “Since we’re going to spend some time together, you don’t have to call me Mr. Reed.”
Nancy’s eyes lit up with surprise, indicating that he had agreed to her proposal!
“Can I call you Mick when we’re alone?” Nancy asked obediently.
“Sure,” Mick said. “I hope our future interactions won’t disappoint me.” He also wanted to know what kind of feelings he had for the woman in front of him.
Nancy’s heart beat wildly as she waited for Mick to leave.
Who would have thought that Mick would actually agree to her ridiculous proposal?
Being with Mick… even though it wasn’t a real relationship, it was the only chance she had now.
Looking at her mother’s photo, Nancy said, “Mom, if you’re in heaven, please bless me so that I can use Mick to get justice for you from the Schultz family. As long as I can get this justice, I will do whatever it takes.”
Even if it meant using someone who had helped her, even if it made her feel guilty… besides, she had no other way to help her mother get justice.
Her mother shouldn’t have died!
And it was even worse that the killer who caused her mother’s death was still at large!
She would make Clarissa pay!
As for what price she had to pay for Mick to achieve her goal, she didn’t care!
At this point, she had nothing left to lose!
Mick returned to the Reed House and saw his sister Jasper coming down from upstairs.
“Brother, I heard you played the hero today?” Jasper blurted out as soon as he spoke.
Mick raised an eyebrow, “Where did you hear that from?” He knew his subordinates well and they wouldn’t casually talk about such things without his permission.
“I saw it online. Someone uploaded a video of you helping someone today, but Dad had it taken down.
You can’t find it now.” Jasper said, then looked at his brother with excitement, “It’s the first time I’ve seen you take the initiative to help a woman like that. Is she your friend?”
After all, there were basically no female friends around his brother. Even if he sometimes got closer to some women, it was usually because of work or school.
Moreover, she knew all the girls who were close to his brother.
The woman in the video today was obviously a stranger.
“She’s not really a friend.” Mick said.
“Oh, I see.” Jasper was obviously disappointed, thinking that his brother had finally fallen in love.
But Mick’s next sentence made Jasper’s expression change again.
“What do you usually do with William?” Mick asked.
Jasper blinked and looked at his brother strangely, “Why are you asking this, big brother?”
“Just curious.” Mick said.
“Actually, it’s not much different from before. We just go to the library together, go shopping, watch movies, listen to concerts, eat together, or go to a bar. During the holidays, we travel around.”
“Is that it?” Mick frowned slightly.
“What else should we do?” Jasper asked back, feeling a bit embarrassed to say that sometimes she and William would do some intimate things when they were together.
However, William always respected her and never crossed any lines.
“Doing these things, will it make you clear about your feelings for William? Will it make you understand whether you really love him or not?” Mick asked again.
“Hmm…I guess you could say that,” Jasper thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
After all, before dating William, she only thought she liked him. But after becoming more intimate with him, she realized that her liking for him was actually love.
“Is that so?” Mick whispered, “Well, go to bed early.”
After speaking, he walked upstairs on his own, leaving Jasper standing there scratching her head inexplicably. What’s wrong with big brother? Why did he suddenly ask such a strange question?
Also, that woman, if she wasn’t even a friend of big brother’s, why did he help her?
He wasn’t so “helpful” before!
Mick was at the entrance of Nancy’s company, helping with Nancy’s video. Except for Jasper asking
Mick a few questions, no one else from the Reed family had come to inquire about it.
Jason and Grace didn’t ask because they thought their son was old enough. If the woman in the video really had a special meaning to their son, he would naturally tell them in the future.
Although Mason knew about the video, he didn’t ask about it at all. As for the youngest Jasmine, she didn’t even know about the video.
The Reed family was calm and quiet, but it was completely different on Nancy’s side.
Yesterday evening, when the dispute happened, it was her time. to get off work. Therefore, there were naturally many colleagues in the company who either saw the scene with their own eyes or heard about it from others, even if they hadn’t seen the video online. So when Nancy came to work, everyone looked at her with strange eyes.
During her break at work, some colleagues gathered around Nancy curiously and asked, “Nancy, we heard that you had a conflict with someone at the hotel entrance yesterday, and a handsome guy helped you. He seemed to have a few followers with him. Other colleagues said he looked like a rich kid. Who was he?”
“Just a kind-hearted person,” Nancy replied calmly.
“Come on, tell us who he is. Which rich second-generation is he from?” asked the colleague in a gossipy tone.
Nancy smiled and remained silent, indicating that she wouldn’t say much.
The colleague lost interest and muttered disappointedly, “Well, if you don’t want to say, forget it. But we’re all colleagues here. If you really make it big, don’t forget to take care of your old colleagues.”
Nancy promised, “Sure.”
After all, she still had to work here, and there was no need to offend anyone.
As for becoming successful… she didn’t hold much hope.
Even if Mick was only interested in her for a moment, she hoped to use his interest to help her mother get justice.
After the colleague left, Nancy continued with her work.
Suddenly, someone passed by her from behind and bumped into her shoulder heavily.
Nancy stumbled and almost fell forward, but managed to regain her balance and not fall.
The person didn’t even apologize and just walked past her.
“Hey, Nancy, are you okay?” Another colleague saw what happened and ran over to ask.
“I’m fine,” Nancy said. “Who was that person just now?”
“Oh, that’s Irene Lynch, the new greeter. She probably accidentally bumped into you just now. She’s usually polite,” the colleague explained.
“It was probably an accident,” Nancy said.
Her shoulder was still sore from the collision earlier, indicating that Irene’s impact was definitely not light.
