Chapter 349
“Nicholas… He still has no interest in me,” Hayley said and couldn’t help but sigh.
Hearing that, Remus frowned as his brows reflected his expression.
At the sight of this, she deliberately retreated in order to advance and added, “Sometimes I can’t help but wonder
whether it’s better not to force things-”
“Where did the reluctance come from? I will help you to teach that kid a lesson when I head back.” He stopped her
words in dissatisfaction and persuaded her, “Don’t give up either. Nicholas has always been rather indifferent since
he was a child, and he will naturally have feelings once you guys get along
for a long while.”
Hayley feigned hesitance to think about his words, but how could Remus not be able to read her thoughts?
Although he was not happy, he still went ahead to say, “Well, it’s still early. Meet with Nicholas for dinner together
tonight, and tell him it’s my arrangement.”
If he had said this before, then she would have been elated.
However, she couldn’t help but feel lost at this moment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter all, in the past, she would always be rejected whenever she wanted to make an appointment with Nicholas.
Yet, if there was an order from Remus, then Nicholas would definitely go with it.
When she thought of her purpose of coming over, she cautiously informed, “Nicholas went on a business trip
abroad yesterday.”
Remus frowned again and when he saw Hayley hesitating to speak, he immediately guessed the girl’s purpose of
visiting this time.
He didn’t expose her, but instead gently replied, “Since that’s the case, then we’ll reschedule the meal when
Nicholas returns.”
When she saw how he had maintained his silence about Nicholas’ trip abroad, Hayley nodded in disappointment. In
fact, she really wanted to ask Remus whether Nicholas went abroad to meet Tessa
However, when the words reached her mouth, she swallowed them back.
It was because Hayley was afraid that Remus would think that she was too preoccupied with gains and losses. She
wouldn’t want to seem too earnest, which would cause the man to greatly reduce his impression of her and make
her lose more than what she could gain.
Now that she had nothing to gain, she sat for a while before proposing to make a move.
Remus watched her disappear into the garden, called the housekeeper over and said in a cold voice, “Go and
investigate Nicholas’ whereabouts abroad and see whether he has gone to see Tessa Reinhart.”
“Yes.” After being instructed, the butler left.
In the evening, the housekeeper received feedback from his subordinates after dinner.
He immediately knocked on the door to enter the study and respectfully reported, “Sir, Master Nicholas went
abroad for the company mattress and did not go to see Miss Tessa.”
It was a sunny day the next morning.
Nicholas walked out of the washroom in a white shirt, and his flawless handsome face was as expressionless as
ever.
His slender legs were hidden in black suit pants.
While buttoning his cuffs, he walked toward the bedside table and immediately picked up his phone that had been
ringing nonstop.
The call was from Edward.
“What’s the matter?” Nicholas asked, his voice hoarse as he had just woken up.
Edward reported, “President Sawyer, Old Master Sawyer asked someone to investigate your whereabouts last
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnight. I followed your instructions and sent the person away.”
Nicholas hummed-he wasn’t very surprised at the turn of events.
Before going abroad, he had thought of this and made arrangements in advance to hide his whereabouts, so that
Remus’ people were only aware that he was abroad, but not the fact that he was now in Vienna.
However, when he realized that Remus had unpredictable thoughts, Nicholas did not intend to lower his guard.
He coldly commanded, “For these few days, tell the people below to keep their mouths shut. If anyone leaks the
news, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“Got it.” Edward took the order.
Then, Nicholas explained a few more things and hung up the phone.
Now that he and Tessa were finally together, he would never give anyone a chance to destroy them.
Not long after putting down the phone, someone knocked on the door outside.
When Timothy saw Nicholas opening the door, he said with a smile, “My sister called earlier and said that breakfast
is ready. Let’s go over.”
Nicholas nodded. He went back to the room, took his suit jacket and followed Timothy to Tessa’s apartment.
Gregory was already awake in the apartment.
He didn’t forget that today was Tessa’s birthday. As soon as he opened his eyes, he gave her a sweet kiss.
