Did he not find her attractive since they didnât have sex?
âWhy?â she asked, her words already one step ahead of her emotions.
âIf you really want to sleep with me, then donât get so drunk. You donât think I would want to hold a woman whoâs shaking all over from being drunk, do you?â Mick said.
Nancy was speechless.
âAndâ¦â Mick paused, looking at her with a sharpness in his eyes. âNancy, do you really like me?â
A chill ran down her spine for a moment. âYes, I really do,â she said, trying to suppress her panic and not avoid his gaze.
His lips curved slightly. âI hate being deceived, so during the time we spend together, I hope you wonât deceive me. If you want something, just tell me directly, but donât lie to me. Because people who lie to me usually donât end up well.â
Nancyâs body trembled slightly, and she forced a smile. âI know, I wonât lie to you.â
Mickâs warning echoed in her mind.
But there were some deceptions that had been there from the beginning, and they could only be carried through to the end.
But⦠was liking him really a lie? Although at first, she didnât have much of a feeling for Mick, at most she just thought he was the high and mighty Reed familyâs young master, someone who had nothing to do with her. And⦠his appearance, he just looked pleasing to the eye.
As long as she could really like Mick in the future, then it wouldnât be considered a lie.
And Mick was already a man who was easy to make a womanâs heart flutter, it wasnât hard to like him!
Yes, it wasnât hard!
Nancy kept telling herself this in her heart.
Thanks to her persistence, Mick stopped coming to pick her up at the hotel where she worked. They would usually agree on a meeting place, and sometimes Mick would send a driver to pick her up.
At that time, Nancy would have the driver wait for her 500 meters away from the company.
The rumors about her in the hotel finally died down.
Some people would mock her behind her back, saying that rich people were just playing with her and wouldnât take her seriously. They would get tired of her in no time.
Nancy didnât pay any attention to this kind of ridicule.
It was the new receptionist, Irene, who took the initiative to befriend her and apologized for bumping into her before.
âI was in a bad mood that day, so I accidentally bumped into you and didnât apologize in time. Iâm really sorry.â Irene looked guilty and even gave Nancy a teddy bear as a gift. âThis little gift is just a token of my apology.â
âYou donât have to give me a gift. It was just a bump, and youâve already apologized. Itâs okay.â Nancy politely declined.
âNo, please accept the gift. It represents your acceptance of my apology. If you donât take it, Iâll feel like you havenât forgiven me.â Irene insisted and handed the teddy bear to Nancy.
âOkay thenâ¦â Nancy hesitated for a moment before accepting the gift.
âAfter work, letâs have dinner and go shopping together. I havenât been in the company for long and havenât made any friends yet. I hope we can be friends in the future.â Irene smiled and suggested.
âIâm afraid I canât today. I have something to do after work.
Maybe another day!â Nancy declined.
