That night, | tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Theo was still working overtin the study, so | did not bother him.

she was testing her, my emotions for thrown in for a loop. Nicky's eyes had indeed been focused on Theo when |
met her for the first time.
Unable to remain indifferent, | put on a coat and left the room, making my way to the guest room.
Through the crack of the door at the bottom, | noticed that the light was still on inside. Nicky had not gone to
sleep yet, so | knocked on the door.
The sounds of footsteps sounded from the inside, and Nicky cover to open the door. When she saw that it

"Cin."
Entering the room, | caught a glimpse of the company documents on her bed. "I'm sorry, did | disturb you? You
must still be busy with company work."
Nicky cleaned up the documents and put them on the table before waving to me. "It's nothing, just a small
matter. Don't you have something to tell me?"

may be a bit presumptuous forto ask this, but if | don't, I'll definitely lose sleep and be displeased deep

"I see." | stood up, ready to leave.
Suddenly, a pair of hands grabbed me, and Nicky also got up. "Wanda, | really want you as a friend. That's why |
haven't confessed it to you. Yes, | like him, but if | say I'll never compete with you, will you believe me?"
