Unpredictable Betrayal : A Sweet of Revenge

Alex had just finished his work. Since morning, his concentration had been disturbed by thoughts of last night’s events. So determined not to be disturbed, Alex even went as far as turning off his phone for the whole day. He even instructed his secretary not to receive any guests or allow anyone to enter his office.

However, the calm he had been trying to maintain since then was instantly shattered. Suddenly, from the direction of the office door, Nicole appeared and promptly closed the door behind her.

“Alex, we need to talk seriously!”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Nicole paid no attention to her surroundings, conflicting with the agreement she had made with Alex. Regardless, today she had to meet and speak directly with him.

“I’ve told you repeatedly, never show up at the office!”

Alex looked annoyed. He even rose from his seat, walked towards the window, deliberately closed the curtains so that people outside couldn’t peek or see what he and Nicole were doing inside the room.

“Do you think I wanted to come here? Who told you to turn off your phone since morning?”

“I deliberately turned off my phone because I didn’t want to be disturbed.”

“What did you say? Didn’t want to be disturbed? After the damn incident last night, you casually shirk responsibility?”

“Responsibility? What did I do?”

Nicole looked furious. She vented all the frustration she had felt since last night. Having to pay a restaurant bill worth 22 million, Nicole had to dig into all her savings to avoid embarrassment. And now? Alex acted as if there were no problems at all? Damn! That money spent on steak could’ve bought a motorcycle outright if she wanted.

“I’m sure you knew and realized that Aurora deliberately embarrassed me last night. Why didn’t you stop her, huh? Are you happy to see me suffer? Just imagine, I had to lose thousands of dollars overnight! All because of your damn wife!”

“The money you used to pay for the steak last night was Aurora’s too, Nicole.”

“But it’s already my property.” Nicole argued. She refused to be cornered.

“Besides, why did you decide to follow along with Wolfgang? If you hadn’t gone there last night, I’m sure this wouldn’t have happened.”

Nicole was getting angrier. She took out her phone and approached Alex to show him the text messages she received last night.

“READ IT!!!”

Nicole asked Alex to carefully read all the messages she received last night. Yet the man shamelessly blamed her.

“Who promised to accompany me for dinner? Who agreed to meet at Wolfgang’s? It was you!”

“I didn’t even receive your message, let alone reply to it.”

“That’s impossible. You’re lying so I won’t keep blaming you.”

“By God,” Alex swore, trying to convince her. “I didn’t reply to your message.”

“Then who did? Aurora?”

Then both fell silent reflexively. Afterwards, they both realized that their relationship might have been sniffed out by Aurora.

“This is bad.”

Alex’s face suddenly became frustrated. He, who had tried to remain calm, was now panicking again.

“I’m sure Aurora replied. That means she—”

“Yeah, it means Aurora knows about our relationship.”

Nicole interjected calmly. She didn’t care if her cousin caught them cheating again. Anyway, Nicole swore, this time she wouldn’t give in.

“Come on, Alex. Just relax. It’s time Aurora knows that you can’t live without me.”

“Don’t be ridiculous! We could both end up dead!”

Alex sighed in annoyance. He shook his head repeatedly.

“This can’t be ignored. I’m sure Aurora will be very angry. It’s like suicide. When something like this happens, we can’t meet or continue the relationship.”

Nicole immediately glared. She didn’t accept Alex’s decision that sounded unilateral.

“No. I don’t want to!” Nicole shook her head. Anyway, she didn’t want to comply with Alex’s request. It’s easy for him to ask her to give in again. “I don’t want to if I have to separate from you. Why not just let go of Aurora and live with me?”

Alex laughed. There was nothing funny about Nicole’s statement, which was actually serious. From the start, she wanted to make Alex hers alone.

“No, Nicole. There’s no way I can just let go of Aurora like that. Besides, my decision is final. For now, and to ensure our safety, it’s better if we don’t meet for a while.”

“But, Alex—”

Alex quickly grabbed Nicole’s arm. Leading her out of his office.

Meanwhile, Nicole, who was not willing to be treated like garbage, started to cry. Along the Lumire corridor, she looked angrily grumpy.

“Letting you go back to Aurora? No way! Let’s see what I’ll do to win you back from Aurora.”
