Chapter 921 Relentless Woman
Eunice didn’t even look surprised, as if she had already known that Nicholas was married. His expression darkened in an instant.
“Come with me.” With that, he pulled Eunice to the side.
Seeing that, Addison smiled apologetically at Nicholas. “Don’t mind them, President Sawyer. They’re always like that.”
Nicholas slightly lowered his gaze, not answering. Addison smiled awkwardly, then hastily changed the subject, continuing the conversation that was interrupted before. “President Sawyer, what are the requirements for the project you mentioned earlier?”
“There are quite a few of them, actually.”
At the mention of business, Nicholas began discussing the matter earnestly. Edward also cooperated from the side.
Meanwhile, Walter pulled Eunice to a quiet spot before letting her go and questioning her, “What exactly is going on here?”
“What is going on where?”
Eunice knew what her father wanted to ask about, but she feigned ignorance.
Walter knew what his daughter was thinking, so he said in all seriousness, “Quit pretending. I’m asking you if you know that Nicholas is already married?”
“Yes, I did.”
“And you still told me you’re eyeing him?!”
Walter instantly glared at Eunice in a fury, warning her, “I don’t care how you used to fool around, but you’d better steer clear of married men, especially Nicholas! Don’t you dare mess with him!”
“What’s wrong with that? It’s just some harmless play, so you don’t have to be so serious.” Eunice pouted playfully, not taking her father’s words seriously.
Hearing his daughter’s tone, Walter frowned in extreme disdain. “Harmless play? Don’t you care about your reputation anymore?” Oh, Eunice! I can’t take this anymore! You better behave this time!
However, Eunice didn’t even listen as she waved her hand in annoyance. “Enough, Daddy, you’ve said all those things before. I know when to stop, so stop minding my business.”
Walter glared at Eunice, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In the end, he still couldn’t do anything about Eunice, so he gave up on reprimanding her. He gave her a few customary warnings before leaving.
After all, his daughter had always been fooling around, but she hadn’t run into serious trouble before. Hence, for the rest of the party, Eunice tried every way she could think of to get closer to Nicholas.
Nicholas didn’t want to cause a ruckus, so he took Edward with him as he tried his best to avoid her.
No matter what, Eunice was Tessa’s senior, and he didn’t want to cause Tessa any trouble. Despite that, Eunice still kept going to him.
“Mr. Sawyer, why would you avoid me to this extent? We do know each other, but you’re being too cruel by doing this.”
As she spoke, she struck as many seductive poses as possible, attracting the gazes of many men around her. Sensing those gazes, she thought she was extremely attractive at that moment, so she kept giving Nicholas alluring looks.
Unbeknownst to her, Nicholas was disgusted with her at that point. Standing at the side, Edward had no words to describe his emotions then because this was his first time seeing such a relentless woman.
While he was deep in thought, he heard his president’s extremely cold voice speaking.
“Let’s go, Edward.”
Nicholas didn’t want to see Eunice at all.
Eunice, on the other hand, was stunned as she watched the man leave so decisively.
He’s leaving just like that? She instantly dropped her seductive act and frowned deeply. The other men around her were clearly swooning over her, so logically speaking, this man shouldn’t behave like this.
Suddenly, she seemed to have thought of something, and her frown disappeared at once. She felt that Nicholas must be giving her the cold shoulder on purpose.
After all, people from Xerthania were known to be a little more reserved. At that thought, she looked in the direction Nicholas left, a confident look in her eyes. “No matter what, I’ll have you submit to me tonight.”
With that, she pursued Nicholas’ footsteps once again and came to the balcony.
“Mr. Sawyer, how can you leave me alone just like that? This is unbecoming of a gentleman.”
Eunice smiled as she neared Nicholas. Without even waiting for him to reply, she reached out and placed her fingertip nonchalantly on Nicholas’ shirt right above his chest, tracing circles on it.
