With such forceful impact and no apology afterwards, was it really an accident? Nancy thought to herself. She wasn’t the type to be naive and think that everyone was a kind person.
After a day of work, Nancy always faced curious looks from her colleagues, and her shoulder would occasionally ache.
After work, she was planning to go to a nearby pharmacy to buy some pain relief cream when a black car stopped directly in front of her. The driver got out and opened the back door for
Nancy.
Nancy looked into the car and saw Mick. “Mr. Reed, what are you…”
“Get in,” Mick said from inside the car.
Nancy pursed her lips and obediently got into the car.
The door closed and the car slowly drove away.
Some colleagues who saw this scene became even more convinced that Nancy had landed herself a wealthy man.
Although they didn’t see the man get out of the car, the car itself was expensive and not something an ordinary person could afford.
In the shadows not far away, a figure stared at the car as it drove off, biting their lip in anger.
Nancy followed Mick to a members-only upscale restaurant in Emerald City.
Nancy had only heard of this restaurant from Clarissa before, who had boasted about being invited to dine there with her friends in a haughty tone.
Even Clarissa isn’t qualified to become a member of this restaurant.
It’s clear that getting into this restaurant is not an easy task.
Nancy watched as the restaurant staff treated Mick with respect, and caught a glimpse of herself in the mirrored wall, feeling surreal.
She had actually made it to the restaurant that Clarissa had deemed difficult to enter, but it had become so simple.
No, it should be said that it was Mick who made it simple.
Once they were in the private room, Mick had the staff hand Nancy the menu.
“Order whatever you like,” he said.
“You order, I don’t know what’s good here, and I’m not picky,” Nancy replied.
Mick then told the staff, “Just bring the usual.”
“Okay, Mr. Reed,” the staff member left the room.
Nancy looked at Mick and said, “Mr. Reed, if you need to see me in the future, you can just call me.
You don’t have to come to my hotel to pick me up.”
Mick raised an eyebrow, “Don’t want me to pick you up?”
“I’m just afraid it will be a burden for you. Yesterday, some of my colleagues saw you standing up for me, and they were already talking about it. Although they haven’t recognized you as Mr. Reed yet, if they see you more often, they might figure it out,” Nancy explained.
After all, Mick was somewhat interested in her, but if they were to become the subject of gossip or rumors, it could cause trouble for him as a wealthy young man.
Perhaps at that time, regardless of whether he was still interested in her or not, he would just keep his distance.
At least, before Clarissa received the punishment she deserved, Nancy didn’t want things to turn out that way.
“Even if someone recognizes us, it doesn’t matter,” Mick said. “Or are you afraid of being discovered with me?”
“Why would I be afraid?” Nancy’s lips were slightly dry.
“Sometimes, the higher you are lifted up, the harder you fall. Are you prepared for that?” Mick suddenly said.
Nancy shuddered, then understood what he meant.
He and she had a flirtation. If others found out, with Mick’s status, many people would naturally lift her up. But if in the future, Mick confirmed that he didn’t like her, that it was just a passing interest, then when Mick left, it would be her time to fall.
Nancy laughed lightly. “I can handle it. Anyway, I had nothing to begin with, so it would just be going back to where I started.”
To her, even if it was dust, it was nothing. She had nothing left to lose.
Mick’s eyes flickered slightly, and the self-mocking curve of her lips made him feel a little uncomfortable.
“Don’t worry, you won’t have nothing. Even if it really comes to that, I’ll give you some money to at least improve your life.”
‘No need,” Nancy refused. “Mr. Reed can spend some time with me. For me, it’s already a rare opportunity. I’m luckier than most people, so even if in the end, you don’t like me, it’s okay. You don’t owe me anything, and you don’t need to give me money.”
Mick sneered lightly. “Is that so? But why do I always feel like your so-called liking for me can be withdrawn at any time after I confirm that I don’t like you? Is it really because of your self-awareness?
Or…maybe you don’t actually like me that much, or maybe not at all?”
His voice was very flat, as if he was just talking about an ordinary matter, but his black eyes were sharp as they stared at her, as if he could see through her thoughts.
Nancy felt her whole body tense up, her heart pounding wildly, and even her palms unconsciously sweating.
At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room and a waiter walked in with the dishes.
“Alright, let’s eat,” said Mick.
Nancy breathed a sigh of relief.
The dishes were served one by one. Nancy herself worked in a five-star hotel and had seen many exquisite dishes.
However, some of the specialty dishes at this club still impressed
Nancy.
Moreover, upon tasting them, she found that the ingredients of these dishes were very particular, and some of the ingredients were rare and hard to come by, even if one had the money to buy them.
“How does it taste?” Mick asked.
“It’s delicious,” Nancy replied honestly.
“If you like it, you can come here often in the future,” Mick said. Watching her eat the dishes, he seemed to feel that they were even more delicious than usual.
“There’s no need for that. I’m afraid that if I get used to eating such delicious food, I’ll feel uncomfortable if I can’t have it again in the future,” Nancy said. “So it’s enough to just have a taste of good food.”
“It seems like you don’t even believe that I could fall for you. Otherwise, shouldn’t you be thinking that you’ll have plenty of opportunities to come here and eat in the future?” Mick said. “If you don’t even believe it yourself, how can you prove it to me and make me believe it?”
Nancy was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to refute him.
“So if you want to prove that I really do like you, don’t say such iscouraging things in the future. At least, you have to believe it ourself that I really have fallen for you, right?”
His eyes flickered, and she couldn’t read his gaze, but she was leeply attracted to him.
Even if she was only using Mick at the moment, could she really remain unaffected by this man if they were to spend more time together?
After finishing their meal, Mick asked, “Is there anything you want to do with me?”
“What?” Nancy was surprised.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to spend some time with me to verify whether or not I really like you? So what do you want to do to verify it?” Mick said.
“Ah…” Nancy bit her lip. She had thought about it before.
For her, her only asset was her body. If she wanted him to help her deal with the Schultz family, the most she could offer was her body.
But how could she say it? Should she directly ask him to have sex with her? Or should she seduce him first?
However, a man like him wouldn’t be so easily seduced by a woman. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been her turn.
“Do you want to go to a hotel?” Nancy gathered her courage and asked bluntly.
After all, if she wanted to verify it, this was the quickest way. If she could really make him interested in her with her body, it was worth a try.
For her, there was nothing left to lose.
She just wanted to give her mother justice!
“A hotel?” Mick raised an eyebrow. “So, are you planning to have sex with me?”
“Hmm.” She answered, her ears turning red.
This was the first time she had ever made such an invitation man.
The air became silent.
Just as Nancy began to worry that the other person might think she was too casual, Mick’s voice suddenly sounded.
“Okay.”
Huh? She looked up and blinked her eyes, okay what?
Looking at her somewhat dumbfounded expression, Mick couldn’t help but curl his lips. “I said okay, let’s go to a hotel room.”
An hour later, Nancy stood in the luxurious hotel suite, still a little dazed.
She…really went to a hotel room with Mick?
Is this man the type who casually goes to hotel rooms with women? If so, then what about those rumors?
“So now, how are you going to prove it?” Mick looked at Nancy with a smile that wasn’t really a smile.
A nervous feeling pervaded Nancy’s whole body. “I…I’ll go take a shower first!”
After saying this, she hurriedly ran into the bathroom.
Mick raised his eyebrows, interested in the fleeing figure.
Although it was she who took the initiative to suggest the hotel, she was also the one who was now scared an
And him? Why did he agree to it?
Was it because he also wanted to know what kind of feelings he had for her?
Nancy spent quite some time in the bathroom before finally walking out.
As she looked at Mick sitting on the couch browsing through his phone, she felt as though the scene before her was like a beautiful oil painting, strangely captivating.
