Evan swept his eyes at John and uttered apathetically, âShe wonât put us in a difficult position.â
John was silenced by the firmness in Evanâs words. I hope Mrs. Seet really wonât cook up some disaster for us! Maybe I am thinking too much.
Yet, John could not shake off the premonition in him.
Around twenty minutes later, both cars arrived at their destination.
Nicole got off the car first before Evan and John. The two men rushed to meet up with her.
Evan took in the grandiose of the building ahead. Hmm, by the looks of this place, the Musgraves are quite impressive. Perhaps the Seet Group can consider working with the Musgraves. I wonder how are their production and sales doing.
Teeming with curiosity, Evan walked into the company behind Nicole.
âNicole, I rushed over to meet you upon hearing that you are coming to the company. What would you like to know? I can explain everything to you.â
Levant sauntered to a spot in front of Nicole. Seconds after he stopped moving, his brows quirked up.
What is that guy doing next to Nicole?
Levant thought that Evan already went back to where he came from. He didnât expect to see him with Nicole today. Did she remember anything upon seeing him?
Nicole noticed Levantâs eyes fixated on Evan. She was low-key amazed by him. Wow, he can remember Evan from that day? What is his mind made of?
âLet me introduce you to my bodyguards. This is Evan and this is John.â
Nicoleâs gaze went from Evan to John as she introduced them. The two of them then greeted Levant.
Evanâs morose eyes were glued to Levant. The two of them were not shy to make eye contact. The tension in the room was tangible.
Evanâs domineering aura pervaded the vicinity. The center of attention had shifted from Levant to Evan.
It was irrefutable that no one could exude more dominance and superiority than Evan.
All of a sudden, the eyes of all the employees at the company were on Evan.
âWho is this?â
âHeâs wearing a protective vest. So heâs a bodyguard then.â
âYou are not kidding me, right? You are saying that the eye-catching man over there is a bodyguard?â
There were whispers in the crowd. Nicole studiously observed the expression on Evan who gave off a regal vibe.
The voice in her wavered. Why did I not notice how dashing Evan is as a bodyguard? Evan was always very gentle when he spoke to Nicole. He had never put on such an overbearing display. It seemed like he was born to rule the world.
At the moment, Nicole couldnât believe that a man like him was her personal bodyguard.
âHow did you become Nicoleâs bodyguard?
As Nicole was still trapped in her stupor, Levant shot Evan a question.
Instead of answering Levant, Evan replied with another question, âYouâre intimidated by me?â
âPft! Do you seriously think that I am going to be intimidated by a mere bodyguard?â
The smile on Levantâs face remained as his eyes darkened.
Evan, you sure are capable. You actually managed to become a bodyguard at the Musgrave Estate in such a short amount of time. Levant made a mental note to inquire Stephen about the decision to hire Evan as Nicoleâs personal bodyguard.
Nicole scrutinized the two of them. She could smell the beef between the two men. She suspected that the two already knew each other long before their encounter at the cafe earlier.
Even the words they exchanged with one another were filled with animosity.
Nicole couldnât hold her puzzlement in any longer. âYou two know each other?â
Evan gave Levant a side-eye. He wondered what Levant was going to say.
Levant chuckled disdainfully, âIsnât he that crazy man who called you his wife at the café the other day? Of course I recognize him. Heâs the loser who dreams to feed on womenâs fortune.â
Huh, just because of that one encounter these two men hated each other like arch-rivals?
Nicole felt that it was unbelievable.
She turned to look at Evan as she waited for his reply.
Evanâs brooding eyes met Levantâs. âYou better keep your eyes on the Levant Winery. One more case at the winery and you guys might as well shut it down.â
Nicole was baffled. Evan sounded like he knew Levant very well, but Levant seemed to imply that he only met Evan at the café two days ago.
What intention does Levant actually have?
Levant was aware of the doubtful look on Nicoleâs face. He purposely added, âHow did you know what happened at the winery I own? Gasp, you even dug into my background just to get Nicole? Nicole, you better be careful of your bodyguard! Heâs a dangerous man!â
