Chapter 729

Nicole looked at Harvey as if she had thought of something, the smile on his face sending a chill down her spine.

He looked better when not smiling, as his smile was elusive.

“Harvey is such a freak,’ she thought to herself.

“I’m not talking to you again, but please remember my warning: stay away from me.” With that, she turned and was about to leave.

Hearing her threat, Harvey let out a plastic smile and slowly moved backward as if he wanted to keep a safe distance from her. “Is this distance okay?” he said with an evil smile.

Nicole was startled and looked helpless. “Harvey, did you do this on purpose? You know that’s not what | mean.”

She wanted him to stay out of her sight completely and stop bothering her.

Harvey was patient. He gathered himself and said, “Then what do you mean?”

Nicole looked at Harvey, knowing that he knew the answer but still wanted to ask on purpose as if he was buying himself time to talk to her.

A hint of impatience appeared on her face, and he said in a bitter voice, “Harvey, you know what I mean, don’t you? So what’s the point?”

“You don’t know.” Harvey’s expression remained unchanged. He just stared at Nicole as if he cherished the time the two of them spent together. “There’s very little time I can spend alone with you, isn’t it?”

While speaking, Harvey raised a hand as if wanting to help her tuck her hair.

Nicole avoided his hand. She frowned with a hint of disgust and impatience on her face. “What do you want, really?”

Harvey gazed at Nicole. “Will you believe me if I say I like you?”

Nicole’s expression collapsed instantly. ‘Has everyone gone crazy today? Gary just said something the same thing in front of the class, and here came Harvey. But Harvey, unlike Gary, is self-interested.

Looking at Harvey’s serious face, Nicole could not tell for a moment whether he was telling the truth or not. But it had nothing to do with her. “I don’t care what you have to do with Snow. As for what you say, it has nothing to do with me, and whether I believe it or not has nothing to do with you.”

Nicole tucked back the hair that had slipped down in front of her ear and then looked at Harvey with forbidding eyes. She had made herself clear she wanted nothing to do with Harvey, and this caused Harvey’s face to darken.

“You’re right. It’s what I feel, and it has nothing to do with you.“ Harvey suddenly took a step closer to Nicole, his eyes giving none of his emotion. But at last, they gave out a usual look of gentleness.

“Believe it or not, but I’ve never been so sincere with people.”

He had to give up Nicole because of his grandfather. But he was already tired of Snow. As long as he could gain a foothold in the company, he did not need to resort to a marriage of convenience to help with his career. Then, he could chase whoever he wanted.

Nicole seemed to sense his threat and suddenly turned away from him.

Harvey saw her wariness and forced a smile. “You don’t have to be so wary of me. I won’t hurt you.”

“You alone can’t hurt me.” She did not want to waste time with him, so she turned and left. “Remember my warning.”
