Chapter 50 Really like him?
Did she really like him?
Nick didn’t know how to react for a moment.
So many women had expressed their affection for him before and he had rejected them without hesitation, but the woman in front of him was different.
They had sex.
It wasn’t her first time, but after that kind of intense intimacy, it was hard to treat her like a normal person.
A woman he had a relationship with was now in the position of an admirer.
It would seem heartless to treat her like other women as they had been treated before.
So he hesitated for a few seconds and spoke, “You know I’m married, right?”
Victoria’s brow furrowed. Of course she knew that, but weren’t they discussing the design of the renovation right now?
Nick gave a slight lurch as he saw that she didn’t understand what he was implying, “Actually, me and my… wife are also very much in love.”
The word “wife” was so hard to say as it spun around in his mouth.
The word was also very foreign to him.
Victoria stared at him as if to say, ‘Are you serious?’
Being the wife herself, she was standing right there, but still thought she was hallucinating.
She even had the audacity to think that at the moment Nick might have been kicked in the head by a donkey to say such a thing.
Nick’s face looked serious, “Well, so there are some things you should understand without me having to make them obvious.”
She really didn’t get it.
Victoria had even begun to scrutinize every line of dialogue she would have with him tonight, lest she’d made a mistake somewhere.
Nick was her employer, and she certainly needed to figure out some of his ideas.
Seeing her in deep thought, Nick assumed she had gotten the message and said no more.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Victoria stood there and watched him leave, wondering how she could have listened to a string of inexplicable words when all she wanted was an email account?
If he wouldn’t give it, then forget about it, she would just use FB from now on.
She didn’t pursue it any further, after all, there were more important things to do at the moment.
When she got to her car, she saw Linda there.
Linda’s face was pitiful. Her eyes instantly lit up when she saw Victoria, and subconsciously she glanced behind her, and there was nothing.
“Sis, you finally came out! Scared me. I thought…. something has happened to you.”
“What are you doing here tonight? Can your body hold out? Auntie would be so worried if she knew.”
It was better if Victoria didn’t say anything, but when she did, Linda felt a little hard to breathe in her body.
Seeing her state, Victoria swallowed back the other words of condemnation and helped her into the car to speed towards the hospital.
“Linda, hold on.”
Linda cupped her hands around her shirt as if she was about to suffocate.
Victoria almost ran several red lights, which was a bit of a shock since it was her first time when she drove her car so fast.
Upon arriving at the hospital, the doctors in the emergency room took one look and immediately put Linda in the resuscitation room.
Victoria sat in the cold corridor of the hospital and thought about calling Daniel and Cynthia.
The two came quickly, and twenty minutes later there was a clutter of footsteps in the hallway.
Cynthia was shivering with anger. She stood in front of Victoria and raising her hand, she slapped her across the face.
“You want to kill her, don’t you? Victoria, I don’t think I have wronged you in any way, why do you always have to get on Linda’s bad side, her body is already like that, can you just leave her alone? How dare you take her wandering off when she only just got out of the hospital? I was going crazy looking for her tonight!”
Victoria didn’t expect Cynthia to be so indiscriminate and strike too quickly, so the slap was one she didn’t have time to dodge.
Her face flamed as she was slapped across the cheek.
Subconsciously, she then looked at Daniel, only to find that his eyes also leaked some faint hint of blame that hurt more than the slap.
“Dad, do you also think I took Linda out on purpose?”
