Chapter 144: I think she had a plan early on
Victoria’s ankle healed quickly, but Nick’s palm, pierced directly, showed no signs of improvement within a few days. Because the injury was on his right hand, cutting open the old bandage during the dressing change proved challenging for Nick. He wielded the scissors several times, managing only a small cut.
Tonight at the bar, Nick had kept his injured hand hidden, and even Aidan was unaware of the injury.
Victoria hesitated for a moment before approaching and taking the scissors from Nick’s hand. Nick froze, looking at her for a moment before averting his gaze. Victoria focused on the wound, carefully removing the old bandage, revealing the previously stitched injury.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
The wound seemed to have healed well, bringing a sigh of relief from Victoria. She attentively applied ointment and wrapped a new bandage around it.
Once she finished, she looked up, intending to speak, but a voice interrupted from the doorway.
“You two…”
Victoria furrowed her brow and turned to see Aidan standing at the entrance. His face displayed shock, as if questioning whether he had walked into the wrong room. Victoria, realizing she hadn’t closed the door upon entering, felt the awkwardness of the situation and promptly stood up.
“It’s done, Mr. Andrews. I’ll take my leave now.”
Nick remained silent, while Aidan, with a mischievous expression, approached quickly.
“If I hadn’t come tonight, I wouldn’t have witnessed this scene. In the private room, when someone is showing affection, and you act like you’re not used to it, it usually means you’ve already slept with her,” Aidan teased, his writer’s imagination running wild.
Aidan continued his banter, suggesting that the girl liked Nick, and Nick, finally irritated, retorted, “Noisy.”
Aidan chuckled, taking a seat nearby.
“So, what were you thinking? Just letting her get so close to you? I think she had a plan early on. Otherwise, how would she come to pick up your order? This is a long-standing secret crush, isn’t it?”
“I didn’t know her before.”
“But that doesn’t prevent her from knowing you. Maybe a glimpse at some event, and she remembered you.”
Aidan’s mouth was too eloquent, and for a moment, Nick actually believed what he said was true. However, thinking of Victoria being married, he didn’t continue down that path and changed the topic.
“What are you here for?”
Aidan leaned back, his features looking very refined, placing the documents he held on the car.
“What else can I do? You left the documents behind.”
After saying that, he stood up to leave, thought of something, and then laughed before speaking again.
“You spent a night with this designer. If she’s really married, hasn’t her husband come to make trouble? This first time you ventured into the meat, the intensity should be quite something, right?”
“Get lost.”
Seeing Nick’s appearance, is she really married? This was also a point of doubt for Nick. However, everything afterward indicated that Victoria was indeed married, but her husband didn’t care about her. He didn’t care about other people’s marital status, opened the computer to continue working overtime, but heard a commotion in the corridor.
