Spinning her head around, Nicole found that she was unable to spot the man who had surfaced in her mind.
Then again, this is not that surprising either. Evanâs thousands of kilometers away from me now. How can he appear here?
âNicole, youâre so useless. You even plan to leave him forever, but after merely two days, you miss him so much that youâre starting to hallucinate. You canât be like this⦠Donât be such an idiot!â she mumbled to herself as she strode back to her room.
Entering her room, Nicole removed her coat and hung it on the rack. Then, she lay on the bed and started to think about tonightâs plan.
At the same time, Evan had just returned to his room. Sitting on the rattan chair leisurely, he turned on the listening device that he planted on Nicole. After connecting it to his phone, he coincidentally heard her earlier mumbles.
Evanâs face fell. What is she talking about? Leaving me forever?
Could it be that instead of a rendezvous, sheâs actually going to secretly elope with Rocky?
Does she have a death wish?
Clenching his fists, he furiously punched the table.
Just you wait! Tonight will come!
â¦
The time that Nicole had been eagerly anticipating had arrivedâ it was finally eight oâclock! As promised, Rocky made his way to her room.
Immediately after he entered, Nicole told him to take a seat.
âWe donât have much time. Sit down quickly.â
âOkay.â
As soon as he took his seat, Nicole took out the disguises that she had bought in the morning and started to apply make-up on his face.
As Rocky was acquainted with Sylphiette, she would not have been terrified of him if he went there looking like his usual self.
âMove your face closer to me.â
Rocky nodded as Nicole carefully powdered his face.
Although her make-up skills paled in comparison to Ninaâs, it did not matterâ no one could see his face clearly at night. Hence, a simple make-up look was sufficient.
âCome closer to me and close your eyes.â
âOkay.â
When she finished powdering his face, Nicole took out an eyeliner pencil and started to outline his eyes.
After a few strokes, she nodded at Rocky satisfactorily.
âI like this look. You look totally different now.â
âWell, as long as you like it.â
âLetâs continue thenââ
Evan eavesdropped on their conversation through the listening device.
A cold gleam appeared in his eyes, while a frosty look hung on his handsome face. If Iâd merely suspected them earlier, this conversation has only proved that my suspicions were true.
Damn it!
Evan stood there fixedly as he angrily lifted his leg, about to barge into the room. Nonetheless, Rocky suddenly responded, âI donât have to change my clothes. This make-up is enough to prevent them from recognizing me. Letâs go!â
Evan abruptly paused, mid-action.
Make-up? Letâs go?
Whatâs going on?
This is not going as Iâd expected.
When he heard that they were about to leave the room, he quickly hid.
Click!
The hotel roomâs door opened.
Nicole and Rocky walked out, one after the other.
Scrutinizing Rocky carefully, Nicole commented, âHmm, you donât look fierce enough! Youâll have to pretend to be as menacing as possible to scare them, later on.â
âDonât worry. I may not appear to be fierce in front of you, but Iâm completely different when I confront others. I hope that I wonât scare you later.â
âThatâs good. Well, Iâll be the judge of that later.â
Watching the both of them take their leave, Evan frowned. What are they talking about?
Not fierce enough?
What are the both of them planning to do? Are they going to collect a debt, or are they going to rob someone?
If theyâre trying to collect a debt, is there a need to put on make-up and conceal their true appearances?
In that case, they must be robbing someone! Even if theyâre not, theyâre probably up to no good!
Rocky, that b*stard! Heâs bringing Nicole along to do something bad.
What if he negatively influences her? Iâll make sure that weâre even!
With that thought, he quickly followed them.
In the morning, Rocky had already investigated where Sylvia and Sylphiette had residedâ a large mansion that Sylvia had rented.
To cut down on their expenses, they did not hire any maids.
Hence, all they needed to do was to successfully enter the house. He and Nicole would be in complete control once they were in.
Nicole instructed him to hide while she knocked on the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
When Sylphiette heard the series of urgent knocking sounds, she asked curiously, âWho is it?â
