| was all too aware of Nicholas's feelings for me, yet he pretended otherwise. If someone didn't know better, they

might actually think he cared. His eyes held an unshakeable obsession, and | couldn't help but scoff at him.

"Nicholas, you can't stand to seehappy. There's a saying | didn't understand before, but now | do. Do you

want to know what it is?"

Maybe he was acting too convincingly. In the next moment, | could almost hear something cracking.

Nicholas pulled back his arms, which were trembling behind his back. He took a deep breath and coldly replied,

"I'm not interested in your thoughts."

| chuckled softly and reached out to touch the hair at his temple. My fingers grazed his cheek, and | could feel

the stubble beneath them.

He quickly grabbed my hand, lifting it until it slammed against the car window. The sound was so loud that both

of us froze.

For a full five seconds, pain shot through my hand, creeping along the nerves until it spread throughout my body.

It hurt! But maybe it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Yet, for a moment, it felt as if my hand had gone numb.

Otherwise, how could I not withdraw it when Nicholas was gently blowing on it? "Who told you to move?"

Nicholas grumbled, rubbing my hand with a fierce look in his eyes.

His expression and actions felt utterly contradictory as if they shouldn't coexist in the sperson, but | didn't

care.

| used my other hand to gently lift his chin, staring intently at him. I told him, "That saying is, 'l now understand

that many encounters in life are unnecessary"."

Our hands intertwined, and it was hard to tell whose was trembling. We both knew we were supposed to be

insignificant in each other's lives, yet we had an impact that ran deep. Eventually, Nicholas let go.

Neither of us spoke. Overwhelmed by the sudden wave of emotion, we settled into silence.

The car stopped at a restaurant | knew. It was located in a well-known business hotel. The dishes looked fancy

but were hardly filling, and the drinks were outrageously priced. It was a popular spot for project meetings.

Nicholas stepped out first, waiting forat the entrance.

Inside the car, Beth said, "Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk secured a great project for you. Just go in and discuss it with the

other company. You won't earn less for this case than... um... your previous ones." "An economic case?"

Beth hesitated. "Sort of. Of course, it depends on what you're best at. From what | know, their company has a lot

of issues, so you can just handle just part of it."

| smiled and pushed open the door to step out. | walked up to Nicholas and looked up at him. The colorful lights

east various hues across his face, making it hard to read his expression or intentions.

"Got it? Then let's go in," he said, casually slipping his hand into his pocket.

"Nicholas, as we agreed, | can accompany you to social

engagements as a decorative piece, just eating and drinking. | won't acceptanything beyond that," called out to

him just as he was about to step forward.

Nicholas frowned, his gaze drifting over my head to meet Beth's. | saw her shaking her head.

His brows furrowed deeper. He lowered his eyes and asked, "Didn't she make it clear to you?"

"Perfectly clear. Besides, | know Mr. Hawk is generous, but I'm sorry, | don't need it."

"Don't be ungrateful if you understand."

He grabbed my wrist tightly and said, "Cwith me. As per our agreement, | said there would be benefits for

you."

| struggled to free my hand. But
