Chapter 1737 A Nice Man

She instantly pulled a straight face and said, “Come in.”

Stephen came over with two sets of blueprints in his hands. He stood by the door and panted as if he had just run to Nina’s office.

He then passed the documents to her. “Here’s the promo posters I’ve designed for the cosmetic products. Take a look.”

Nina took a casual look at the posters and immediately put them aside. “Well done.”

Stephen, who had worked hard on these designs last night, responded with a grin. “Are you free tonight? Do you want to have dinner together?”

Nina smiled. The moment she had been waiting for had finally arrived.

After receiving a bouquet of roses from him yesterday, she knew Stephen would ask her out for dinner tonight.

“Sure. Where to?”

“Since I’m buying you dinner for the first time, you tell me where you would want to go. If you don’t know what to choose, I can give you a few suggestions.”

Nina thought about it and replied, “I have a place in mind. Let’s go.”

Stephen nodded and left the office with her.

Nina picked a stylish western restaurant, which she and Chris had visited before. Since they were on their first date, she wanted to take this opportunity to tell Stephen about Chris.

After finding a table in a quiet corner, Stephen looked around the restaurant and was amazed at its interior design.

“Nice place. Are you a regular here?” Stephen asked.

Nina shook her head. “I’ve only been here twice—with Chris.”

Stephen’s heart skipped a beat when Nina mentioned Chris’ name.

It was an inexplicable feeling. Stephen understood how difficult it was for Nina to forget about Chris, and he also knew how Chris had loved Nina before he passed away.

Stephen was overwhelmed with mixed feelings. “I’m sure he has earned a special place in your heart!”

Nina nodded. “His memory will live forever. I know he’ll want me to stay happy for the rest of my life. That was why he wanted you to take care of me for three years.”

She continued, “Stephen, I accepted your roses yesterday, and I would consider today’s dinner our first date, but there’s something I have to tell you. I don’t know if you’ll agree to help me, but I must say it.”

“Go ahead.” Stephen gave her a serious look.

“I can be your girlfriend, but I have a condition. Chris’ death has been haunting me since the day he passed away. I want to know the truth. Could you help me investigate?”

That’s the least I could do for Chris.

Stephen kept mum for a moment. “I understand how you felt. Had Chris not given me his heart, I would have been dead. It’s my responsibility to find out the cause of his death. I also want to thank him for allowing me to take care of you. Thanks to him, I found the love of my life!”

Nina was relieved to hear that. She responded with a smile and said, “I’ll leave this to you then. I’ll consider becoming your girlfriend once you’ve completed the investigation.”

Stephen frowned. “You don’t need to feel obliged to be with me. I’m willing to take up the mission and expect nothing in return! I don’t want you to be with me just because you feel you need to repay my kindness. I believe you’ll see what a good man I am if we spend more time together.”

Nina froze for a moment. She did not expect Stephen to say something like that.

“I’m not going to agree to be your girlfriend just because you’ve offered to help find out Chris’ cause of death. I’m willing to commit myself to this relationship because I think you’re a nice man!”

I take relationship matters very seriously.

A faint smile appeared on Stephen’s face. He gazed into her eyes and said, “Do you think I’m a nice man?”

“Of course. I wouldn’t have agreed with dining with you if you weren’t.”
