" Stole it? If I stole this jewelry, do you think I would come out of this shop in one piece under the numerous surveillance cameras? Don't tell me you don't know what you are saying or deliberately framing me?" Nichola spoke up calmly, his expression deep and colder, even piercing, willing to sting one's heart! The people, who were present in the scene heard this, and they immediately agreed to Nichola's words. If he really managed to stole the jewelry, then he won't be able to escape from the surveillance cameras." That's a lie! You are clearly trying to escape from this, but I won't let you!" Lisa growled and spread out her fingers like claws, as if wanting to scratch Nichola's face angrily. " In what way? By explaining myself?" Nichola retorted sternly, crossing his arms over her chest. " What's your name again? Oh, I don't recollect. Maybe that's because i have forgotten about you, but you know what? I have been thinking, all these while, spending your time with Mark, did yo
" What are you two doing?!" A disgusted sharp voice resounded around them, startling and interrupting their moment. Slowly, Lily and Nichola turned to the direction of where the voice was coming from. " Can't talk?! Are you two tongue tied?!" Jack roared as he slammed the desk loudly, scowling! " How dare you try your lovey dovey act here?! Are you both tired of working, hun?!" Lily rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. " You are not the boss of me, so quit barking like a trouble dog. You don't have an idea of how you look, and besides, I already informed Mr. Oliver, so he gave me his permission. I am only resuming to work tomorrow, whether you are okay with it or not." Snapping her fingers, she glanced away from him impolitely. Nichola snorted and didn't even bother to pay any attention to the jobless Jack. With Liliana's reply, Jack checked himself impatiently, turning around and pondering if Liliana's words were directed towards him.."Do you mean th
As Nichola focused solemnly on saving Collins', he failed to notice a pair of dreamy eyes that were already narrowed and fixed towards him, watching him intently, as if astounded to witness such a thing. After some minutes, under Nichola's acupuncture treatment, Collins finally stop convulsing and his body returned to normal. Seeing this, Nichola breathed out a sigh of relief and gradually stood up as he put away the needles.. " He will be fine. You people should give him space and let him rest for a while before the ambulance arrives." Just as he said this, someone rushed into the scene and pushed Nichola violently! " Who are you?! What did you do to my boss?! Do you want to kill him?! How dare you?! Who sent you?! Don't you have an idea who my boss is?! You are doomed today! I will make sure you regret ever showing your face here and even trying to kill my boss!" The unknown person yelled furiously, his chest rising up and down like he had swallowed a big ball of flames! Fr
Then, the assistant explained everything to Anna, excluding the part of him failing to save Collins and even hurling insults at Nichola.*Nichola and Liliana were already back in the taxi, heading to the company. All the way, Liliana couldn't keep still and calm. She was bubbling with excitement, as she felt a swell of satisfaction and pride. " What?" With arched brows, Nichola turned to Liliana lazily and asked. " That was impressive! You are great! I just can't believe it!" Liliana exclaimed immediately, covering her mouth while smiling. She didn't hold herself from complimenting Nichola heartily. Nichola chuckled, already expecting that. " I just did what I know." " But what you know was amazing! I have never seen something like that. Do you always carry the needles? Where do you learn such a thing like that? Since you are really good, you should be in the medicine world and not at skyline." She blabbered non stop, rubbing the tips of her fingers together while she adjusted h
.. Suddenly, Anna pulled her lower lip and glanced at her grandfather's stoical expression. " Is that what you want? I will do it then." She lowered her head after her words, biting the inside of her cheek silently. Collins' face brightened as soon as he heard this, blinking his eyes repeatedly.." Do you mean what you just said?" He thought he didn't hear her well.." Yes, Grandpa." Anna nodded. " In fact, I will see him this night."Although, she didn't believe it was Nichola, who saved her grandfather, but she was willing to lie just to make her grandfather feel pleased. Collins' face glinted a look of satisfaction, and he relaxed even more. *** It was getting late now, but Nichola and Liliana had already gotten to Nina's place and even having a nice time together. The same night, Sarah went to meet Jack in his condominium. Knocking violently and loudly, Sarah was prepared to break Jack's door at all cost and even deal with him! She felt betrayed and couldn't let it
Anna snapped her head up and smiled at her friend. However, the instant her eyes landed on Nichola, who was accompanying Liliana, her expression twisted rapidly.Of course, how could her expression not falter when she saw the only man, who dared to reject her without even thinking! How audacious! However, Liliana failed to notice the hostility in the air, except for Nichola. Nichola curled his lips amusingly but didn't comment. " Anna! Thank you coming! I guess you already know I am famished! I was so engrossed in watching the news about the coming of the Redgrave that I forgot to have my breakfast. Luckily, you brought something for me. Girl, I must say you are a life saver!" Liliana exclaimed happily, blabbering with an excited face, and she rubbed her hands together. " C'mon girlfriend, it's just a meal." Anna rolled her eyes in a jovial manner and gestured for Lily to have a seat. " Don't waste time. The food will get cold. I want you to have it while it hot." " O
Two days flew past very fast, and the expected waiting day came. Almost every citizens in the country were eager to celebrate the coming of the Redgraves again, especially those who knew the true story. A five star luxury well decorated hotel was picked for the banquet. Once it was seven in the evening, the guests who are the wealthy families in the country and others, started arriving and making their way in. It didn't take long for the hall to be filled. Anna and Lily were having a drink together in the hall, discussing happily as they went to greet some of their wealthy friends. Everyone in the hall were satisfied. It was obvious they were all excited, most importantly the investment the Redgraves announced. Lisa was also in the hall, but she couldn't socialize with so many people without the help of Mark. Then, she stood up with a glass of wine in her hand and decided to look for Mark. In the same moment, Nichola was just arriving at the banquet. Lisa came outsi
They were terrified, and their expressions paled! No, they can't be exposed just like that! Swiftly, Mark ran to a corner and made a call to someone unknown.." Delete the outside footage asap! I don't want to be implicated! After you are done, message me, and I will send you your pay as usual!" After instructing the strange person, he hung up and went back to meet Lisa. At this moment, Oliver had called the person in charge of the surveillance cameras..Soon, the footage was sent to him. Nichola waited patiently.Oliver was unaware of anything and opened the footage to have a look, however all he saw was a blank view. His brows pulled together deeply, obviously dissatisfied! " Did someone tampered with this ?!" He roared out, glancing around. " There is nothing here! What's going on?!" Hearing this, Mark secretly rejoiced and curled his lips satisfactory..Lisa was stunned and didn't understand what was happening. Nichola didn't react. It was as if he was already expec
