âWhy are you being so courteous? Take a seat.â
Taking note that she was having a rather simple meal, Rocky decided to order some nutritious food to share with her.
âThe roasted meat is quite nice. Have a taste of it.â
âThank you.â
Nearby, a pair of brooding eyes were fixated on Nicole.
As Evan watched the both of them, he suddenly felt the strong urge to flip the table over. He wished for nothing more than to teach Rocky a lesson for grasping this opportunity to get closer to Nicole. Then, he would drag Nicole away from him.
Nevertheless, due to his rationality, he suppressed his burning urge.
He wanted to find out why Nicole had come here with Rocky, behind his back.
At the same time, Nicole, who was feeling troubled over her own thoughts, was completely oblivious to a certain man glaring at her in fury.
She sighed. Now that Iâm in a foreign country with little influence, itâs not going to be an easy feat to dig for more details from Sylvia and Sylphiette.
Should I ask Rocky if thereâs a better way to go about this?
Noticing her troubled look, Rocky took the initiative to ask, âNicole, is there something troubling you?â
Thinking about it for a while, Nicole nodded as she began to inform him of the reason that she was here.
Rocky was surprised as he listened to her explanation.
âSo, you want to find out the truth from Sylvia and Sylphiette?â
âYes. Can you think of a way to help me, Rocky?â
âIâm afraid that youâll need an elaborate plan. If you want to achieve your goal, there are only two optionsâ intimidation or bribery.â
When Nicole remembered Sylphietteâs greedy and outrageous conditions, she instantly eliminated bribery as a potential method. Hence, she decided that she would give intimidation a shot.
âI think that bribery is not viable in this case. In light of that, Iâll use the tough method and force her to concede.â
âOkay, letâs start planning first.â
Upon further discussion, they decided that they would take action tonight.
Nicole stood up and took a few steps before abruptly stopping in her tracks.
She turned around and looked at Rocky. âWhat time shall we act tonight?â
âIs eight oâclock okay?â
âIt is for me. But⦠Is your body fine?â
Rocky looks a little weak. If heâd attempted to coerce Sylvia and Sylphiette, would he be intimidating enough?
Would he lose the upper hand instead?
Rocky extended his arms as he flashed his biceps to her.
âMy bodyâs amazing. Iâll be sure to satisfy you tonight. Donât worry.â
âSee you tonight then.â
Nicole left happily.
However, in a hidden corner, a dangerous glint flashed through Evanâs eyes.
Theyâre going to meet at night.? Nicole was even concerned about Rockyâs body. Yet, Rocky had displayed his muscles and had even said that he would make Nicole satisfiedâ¦
What are they planning to do?
Evan clenched his fists. Well, Iâll find out tonight.
In the morning, Nicole made preparation of everything that would be needed.
Then, she returned to the hotel. Sipping on her coffee, she waited for nighttime to come.
She was filled with anticipation just by imagining how she would intimidate Sylphiette tonight.
If Rocky coordinated well with her and successfully intimidated both of them, they would be so utterly scared that they would answer all of her questions truthfully.
By then, Iâll definitely find out what Iâve wanted to know!
Sylphiette has brought this upon herself!
Since she refused to concede when Iâd asked her nicely, I have no choice but to handle it the hard way. She deserves it!
From a hidden corner, when Evan noticed the smile playing on Nicoleâs lips and her frequent glances at her wristwatch, fury surged within him.
Sheâs evidently looking forward to the night.
Nicole, if you dare to do it with Rocky tonightâ¦
Just give it a try, if youâve got the guts to do so!
After she finished her coffee, Nicole stood up and returned to her room. Evan deliberately put on his sunglasses, lowering his head as he brushed past her.
At that moment, his slender and good-looking hands quickly slipped a newly bought listening device into the pocket of Nicoleâs black trench coat.
With this, Iâll be able to eavesdrop on their conversation in real-time! Iâll be certain to learn of their plans!
After taking a few more steps, Nicole suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Hmm, that man seems rather familiar.
Why does he look like⦠him?
