Chapter 239
Always Been Yours
Hence, he stopped approaching her and didnât force her anymore, no longer giving her stress. His rationality told him that this was enough. If he continued, the person in front of him would probably fight him.
Seeing that he didnât answer, Tessa said coldly, âPresident Sawyer, donât forget that you still have a fiancée. You went behind her back and did this to another woman. Arenât you afraid that,â
Before Tessa could finish speaking, Nicholas interrupted her as he said solemnly, âI donât have a fiancée.â
From the very beginning, he had never agreed to an engagement, and there was nothing going on between him and Hayley whatsoever.
All this was just arranged by Remus and the Stone Family. As long as he didnât acknowledge it, heâd take it as if she didnât exist.
Moreover, he had already made it clear to Hayley that he wouldnât marry her, and he had never even been nice to her, but she was bent on having her own way. He didnât bother talking nonsense with her, so he stopped talking to her altogether.
Tessa was still staring at him coldly, making it clear that she didnât believe him.
Even if Sawyer Group had already clarified the matter, she had seen Hayley and the Sawyer Family having a meal together last time, and she was even being all affectionate with Gregory, All of them looked happy, and she even heard Hayley calling his name affectionately.
Only a fool would believe that there was nothing going on between them.
All of this evidence made it clear that none of this was made up.
Her face hardened as she labeled Nicholas a scumbag in her mind.
He appeared rather decent, but the wellâdressed President of Sawyer Group was actually a scumbag!
Nicholas smiled, discerning Tessaâs thoughts from the way she was staring at him.
âRegardless whether you believe me or not, Iâm telling you clearly that thereâs nothing going on between me and Hayley, and sheâs not my fiancée. No matter what, I wonât marry her.â
For a moment, Tessa was taken aback. Then, she came to her senses and reckoned that whether anything was going on between Hayley and Nicholas had nothing to do with her.
She was just a passerby.
However, this couldnât be an excuse for Nicholas to forcibly kiss her!
Nicholas seemed to have figured out what she wanted to complain about, and his lips curled up into a smile. âThereâs one more thing. You asked if I know what Iâm doing. Naturally, I do.â
Tessaâs heartbeat instantly accelerated, and she vigilantly hid from him, staying as far away from him as possible.
Although this man was good looking when he smiled, in this case, his smile just felt evil, which made her a little flustered.
Feeling Tessaâs nervousness, Nicholas deliberately paused before speaking again. âThis is just a punishment for you.â
With that, Nicholas didnât explain anything more. He just smiled and looked at Tessa, who was in a daze, before pressing the elevator button.
Tessa was stunned. The elevator slowly came to a stop on the first floor. With a ding, the elevator doors opened, then he strode out of the apartment contentedly, a pleasant spring in his steps.
A punishment?
Tessaâs face darkened in an instant. What kind of punishment is this?
She didnât do anything wrong at all, and there was nothing going on between the two of them anymore.
Even if she was with someone else, she wasnât doing anything wrong.
That man is so strange. How puzzling!
Tessa wiped her lips in annoyance. Her mind was already in a mess, as all she could think about was Nicholasâ kiss.
Although she was very angry now that she had recovered her senses, Nicholas had still kissed her until her legs went soft and her whole body was numb...
As she thought of this, her face instantly turned red again.
That b*stard!
After Nicholas left, she wasnât in a rush to go home. She stayed in the elevator alone, trying to calm down.
But after a long time, no matter how she tried to calm herself down and to persuade herself to not take this matter to heart, it was useless.
The empty elevator seemed to be filled with the manâs aura, so she could not avoid it, and her mind was full of what he said and did.
