Chapter 490
“If you don’t help me, I’ll spread rumours that you harassed me, protest outside your company, and let all your employees know your dirty deeds!”
Nicolas‘ eye twitched. “Don’t you think that’s pretty embarrassing?”
“I’m the victim here. Why should I feel embarrassed? You should be the one feeling embarrassed”
Nicolas shook his head.
He didn’t care about people making a scene; he had dealt with clingy ex–girlfriends and people causing trouble at his company. But this girl was different from those women.
Others caused trouble for money, but her goal seemed more than just money. She might go public about being harassed by Nicolas.
Thinking about this, Nicolas felt headache.
He glanced at Trisha unhappily, “So what would it take for me to help you win him over?”
Trisha’s face lit up. “As long as Dr Ledford agrees to date me, your mission is complete.”
Nicolas looked her up and down, suggesting, “Why don’t you go for plastic surgery first? That way, your chances of success would be higher.”
Trisha glared at him, “Do you think Dr Ledford is as shallow as you? Besides, where am I ugly?”
Nicolas thought to himself. Speaking of shallow, Jace was even more so.
Although he knew little about her past, he could tell she wasn’t complicated. He felt the need to remind her.
“Men are all shallow. None of us are more noble than the others. You should at least get to know the person first, right?”
“Don’t you dare badmouth Dr Ledford!” Trisha glared at him.
Nicolas couldn’t help but smile bitterly inside.
Whatever, it was her request, after all. If she’s willing to take the risk, let her.
Nicolas looked at her and said, “Fine, I’ll help you. But you better keep your mouth shut. If any weird rumours spread, forget about chasing Jace, I’ll make you afraid of looking at handsome guys ever again!”
“I’m a reasonable person, okay?”
Trisha took out her phone. “Let’s add each other on Whatsapp.”
After scanning each other’s QR codes, Nicolas asked, “What’s your name?”
“Trisha”
Nicolas responded with “Oh” and added a note to her contact: “Female Bandit.”
On the other hand, Trisha added the note “Stinky Dummy” to Nicolas.
“Does Celeste live with you?”
Trisha asked warily. “Why are you asking about Celeste?”
*Just asking.”
Knowing he wouldn’t get any information from her, Nicolas closed the car window and drove away.
Mason finished his work, picked up his phone, saw the photo Nicolas sent, and replied, “Steven’s car. What’s up?”
After a while, Nicolas replied, “Nothing.”
He then sent a text to Liam.
Steven took your ex–wife home.
Liam had been busy dealing with the Barlow family’s affairs since returning from the coffee shop, his head spinning from all the work.
Seeing Nicolas text, he frowned but didn’t reply.
Is Steven interested in Celeste? You just divorced, and he’s already eagerly trying to please her. That’s pretty weird.
Liam pursed his lips: “Celeste saved Clair.”
