âNo need,â Nancy refused. âMr. Reed can spend some time with me. For me, itâs already a rare opportunity. Iâm luckier than most people, so even if in the end, you donât like me, itâs okay. You donât owe me anything, and you donât need to give me money.â
Mick sneered lightly. âIs 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 But why do I always feel like your so-called liking for me can be withdrawn at any time after I confirm that I donât like you? Is it really because of your self-awareness?
Orâ¦maybe you donât actually like me that much, or maybe not at all?â
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.
âAlright, letâs eat,â 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.
âHow does it taste?â Mick asked.
âItâs delicious,â Nancy replied honestly.
âIf you like it, you can come here often in the future,â Mick said. Watching her eat the dishes, he seemed to feel that they were even more delicious than usual.
âThereâs no need for that. Iâm afraid that if I get used to eating such delicious food, Iâll feel uncomfortable if I canât have it again in the future,â Nancy said. âSo itâs enough to just have a taste of good food.â
âIt seems like you donât even believe that I could fall for you. Otherwise, shouldnât you be thinking that youâll have plenty of opportunities to come here and eat in the future?â Mick said. âIf you donât even believe it yourself, how can you prove it to me and make me believe it?â
Nancy was at a loss for words and didnât know how to refute him.
âSo if you want to prove that I really do like you, donât say such iscouraging things in the future. At least, you have to believe it ourself that I really have fallen for you, right?â
His eyes flickered, and she couldnât 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, âIs there anything you want to do with me?â
âWhat?â Nancy was surprised.
âDidnât 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?â Mick said.
âAhâ¦â 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?
