Chapter 924
Felicity stood awkwardly in front of apartment 902. She was contemplating whether she should hand over the egg
tart to Vermont.
Vermont took the pastry from her and asked in a low voice, "Did you buy this?"
"Someone gifted it to me. There were two in the box. I ate one and decided to give you the other one," said Felicity.
Vermont's eyes lit up when he heard that. The corners of his lips wanted to upturn into a smile, but he tried to
suppress it. He put his fist against his lips, coughed lightly, and asked, "So, you came here just to give me this?"
"There is one thing I wanted to ask you..." Felicity paused. "But, I see that you have company. We can talk about it
some other time."
Felicity turned to leave after saying that, but Vermont quickly caught up with her and grabbed her. "No. We can talk

Felicity wanted to break free, thinking that it would be inappropriate for her to go in when Nicole was there.
However, Vermont had already pulled her into the house before she could do anything. She paused and withdrew
her thought.
Vermont placed the egg tart on the coffee table and went to the kitchen. Felicity looked around the room and saw a
woman's purse on the couch. There were heels on the floor and an unfinished bowl of instant noodles on the coffee
table. "That must be Nicole's," she thought. 'Vermont's such a picky eater. He doesn't like instant food.'
"Do you want a drink. Miss Bandit?" Vermont's voice came from the kitchen.
"Water is fine," Felicity returned to her senses and said. Vermont opened the fridge, paused, and closed it. He then
grabbed a glass and filled it with some warm water.
Felicity leaned against the couch and realized that there was something under her hand. She looked down and went
numb when she saw that it was a bra. She stared blankly at the undergarment in her hand and heard Nicole say,
"Looks nice, right?"
Felicity looked up and saw Nicole in a new set of clothes, leaning against the wall. She was wearing a hot tank top
and a pair of wide-legged pants. She let down her hair and held a cigarette in her hand. "The design is pretty
great," said Nicole as she seductively puffed out a mouthful of smoke.
Felicity silently moved her hand away and stayed quiet. Nicole stared at Felicity for a while before she suddenly
said, "Have we met before?"
'What a good memory. We've only met once two years ago," Felicity thought to herself.
Felicity was temporarily assigned an assistant role for one of the company's artists. She tagged along with the crew
for half a month, and Nicole was the female lead in the film at that time. One time, Felicity forgot to bring an
umbrella and was scolded by the artist she worked for. Nicole walked by, tossed them an umbrella, and said coldly,

Felicity was used to dealing with celebrities acting entitled in the industry. Only a few artists could catch her eye,
and Nicole was one of them. She thought about it for a while and said, "I used to work with the XX crew.’
"Oh," Nicole replied. She stopped talking after that and continued smoking. Even though the smell was bearable,
Felicity was very sensitive to tobacco.
After a while, she could not help but feel a tickle in her throat and cough.
When Vermont saw that, he frowned and took the cigarette from Nicole's mouth. "I told you not to smoke in my
house," he said with a cold face.
Nicole was a little upset. "Drop the act. Didn't you smoke in here too last night?"
'Last night...' Felicity pursed her lips and clenched her fists unconsciously.
Vermont frowned. "This is my house, and you live by my rules. If you don't like it, get out!"
Nicole stared at him for a long time and said, "I'm not going!" Then, she went back into the room.
Vermont put a glass of water in front of Felicity and turned on the AC. He sat down next to her and asked, "What did
you want to ask me?”
