Nicole shut her mouth, looking at Victor’s not so friendly gesture.
It wasn’t that Victor was unfriendly, but more like he would be cold to everyone except his people, which was only BLACK COMMAND.
So he only knew how to care for them and not for everyone else. To all others, he was simply a cold man who was not much interested in talking.
“You have something to say?” Victor asked once he was done folding clothes, as Nicole was standing in front of him for almost five minutes now, clumsily scratching her head to come up with something.
“Uhh.. no.. no I mean.. yes.. I have-” Nicole was literally stuttering when Victor interrupted her.
“No need to feel awkward or uncomfortable. You can directly tell me whatever it is.” Victor said, thinking that Nicole must have come here to tell something about Kizy.
“Actually… I need your help.” Nicole said while lowering her head, knowing she had taken a wrong step by mentioning Victor’s name in front of grandpa.
“What is it?” Victor asked, his tone calm.
“I have created a huge problem. But promise me that you won’t scold Kizy for this. It was all my fault, she has no involvement in this.” Nicole said in a low voice.
Victor paused for a moment, confused at Nicole’s statement. But he still decided to listen to it all before reaching the conclusion.
“I am listening.” Victor said, not promising anything about the part of not scolding Kizy.
He needed to listen to whatever Nicole had to say before deciding his stance.
“So it’s like this. My family was trying to continuously matchmake me with some or the other man through a million blind dates. Finally I was fed up and went to Kizy for some help.
She then scripted a fake love story about me and some random non existing man, saying that I was confused about my feelings for this man. She in fact made this man a secret killer to make it more unacceptable, but somehow grandpa was very supportive.
Grandpa was convinced and gave me a time limit of three months to decide upon my feelings and tell him who this man was.
Yesterday our advertisement was released and I don’t know how, but my grandparents were sure that the man acting along with me was the so-called man that I love.
Thus they asked me to meet them this morning. They asked me about the man, and suddenly Kizy appeared there.
Apparently Rose had informed her about my meeting with my grandparents.
She said that the man was exactly the one that she had been loving, but she said that the man didn’t want to reveal his identity. This way she was avoiding to disclose any name.
But grandpa was pestering her and I didn’t want to trouble her time and time again. Thus I ended up blurting your name.” Nicole said and immediately lowered her head, wanting to hear something from Victor.
Meanwhile Victor had this constant expression on his face which showed no change. And this was also the only reason why Nicole was feeling more scared than sorry. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
“Hmmmm. So what then?” Victor asked calmly, knowing there was more to it, especially by the way Nicole was describing it.
“Grandpa asked me what my feelings were for him. And I said that I love him. Kizy was shocked at my decision but she had no way out. Thus she didn’t say anymore.
Now the problem is, if grandpa or grandma were to visit Kizy here and find a man called Victor, they would expect him to be the man I love.
I have told that he doesn’t have any feelings for me, but has decided to give me a chance. So could you please act like that man if my grandparents were to ever visit? You don’t have to act loving or caring just be-” Nicole was still speaking when Victor suddenly cut her off.
“Go back to your room.” Victor said before getting up, his voice controlled.
“But Victor, why? You don’t even have to do anything! A few days later, I’ll be telling them that I have broken up with that man and everything will be back to normal. It’s not like I am asking you to love me or act like that-” Nicole was still speaking when Victor finally lost it.
“Get out!” Victor said in a low voice, but it was enough to scare Nicole, knowing Victor was emanating a murderous aura at the moment.
“Victor I didn’t mean to-” Nicole said, trying to walk near Victor, hoping she could cool him off but Victor wasn’t planning this.
“Do you want me to throw you out of this room or you will go by yourself?” Victor asked in a threatening voice, making Nicole feel cold shivers down her spine.
“I’ll.. I’ll go.” Nicole said before rushing out of this room, not knowing what went wrong.
She instantly opened and the door and came out, before shutting the door back again.
It had been alright some moments ago, but then Victor’s sudden outburst was illogical in her eyes. He didn’t have to react that way just after knowing that she had used his name.
‘Is he a psychopath? Wasn’ he very caring and polite moments ago? He treated Kizy with so much warmth, making me think that he was some gentleman. But what did he do? He literally asked me to leave. Is he even a human?’ Nicole thought angrily, while standing outside Victor’s room, looking at the closed door.
“What happened Nicole?” Suddenly Nicole heard this voice.
She turned to look at Rose, who was currently eating an apple while leisurely sitting on the sofa.
“Ahhh.. it’s.. complicated.. it’s nothing.” Nicole finally said, thinking it was better to end this topic here and now.
“You went to the First Brother for the act that you have set up about your love? Didn’t second sister warned you to not do that?” Rose asked calmly.
“How do you know?” Nicole asked in surprise, not expecting Rose to know this.
