Chapter 111: It’s Nick. He gave it to me.
Victoria went straight downstairs and saw Cynthia still sitting on the couch, not looking too good.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Cynthia is well-maintained and had something attractive to be liked by Daniel at that time, or she wouldn’t have been able to marry Daniel, who already had a steady career, with a drag like Gavin.
Victoria frowned a little.
She wanted to ask her why she didn’t go to the hospital today, but thought that she would surely find all sorts of excuses to put her off, and Daniel was protecting her. So she didn’t ask and quickly opened the door.
Outside the door stood a man, and her pupils contracted; it was Gavin.
He was dressed in a suit, presumably having only just returned from the office, and his eyes fell on her curvaceous figure with greed.
But the greed was suppressed, and only a smile greeted her.
“Hi, Tori, you’re back tonight?”
Victoria had never liked the way Gavin looked at her, and with a simple “Yups”, she was about to walk past him.
Gavin caught the scent of her body and forced down the urge that spread through his body.
“Didn’t see your car outside, I’ll give you a ride.”
“No need.” Victoria walked quickly away.
Gavin stood still, staring at her back.
When he turned to enter the living room and smelled its interior, a flash of disgust crossed his face.
“Can you be more careful next time, you’ll get caught sooner or later!”
Cynthia’s face didn’t look good at being so sarcastic by her own son.
“How did I know she was coming over tonight?”
Gavin took his suit off and slung it between his elbows.
“Even if you want to mess around behind Daniel’s back, don’t do it at home, Daniel is not in good health right now, when the time comes, it will really piss him off, Victoria still has a lot of shares in the company, Don’t you know how many shares you only have now?”
“Okay, my bad, I let him go back through the back door, thankfully the doorman gave advance notice.”
“Just ok as you know.”
Gavin lifted his foot and headed up the stairs, dropping only, “Have someone diffuse the smell in the living room.”
Embarrassed by her son’s comment, Cynthia called the maid over to clean, including the study, even though she was embarrassed.
Victoria took the documents, and walked for another half hour back to the hospital, and when she was almost there, she accidentally broke her foot, and the whole person fell to one side, luckily there was an umbrella to support her, but the umbrella was scraped by the branches of the tree next to her, and opened a long slit.
“What’s gotten into you?” Daniel looked at Victoria who walked in in a state of disarray.
She sniffled, “The car got a flat tire halfway through the drive, and I forgot my cell phone and bag in the car… Dad, give me some cab money.”
This is the first time in her adult life that Victoria has reached out to Daniel for money.
A subtle sense of accomplishment rose in Daniel’s heart.
He glanced at the Rolls Royce umbrella in her hand and asked, “Who gave you this umbrella?”
“My Colleague.”
“Your co-worker drives a Rolls Royce?”
Victoria had a bit of a headache, made worse by the thought that the umbrella was still broken by herself.
“Tori, you and your co-worker …”
Victoria was afraid that he was imagining things, so she answered truthfully, “It’s Nick, I ran into him on the road and lent it to me.”
A flash of joy appeared on Daniel’s face and he happily handed her the card.
Victoria found a hotel nearby, she didn’t go back to Shannon Villa because Nick just drove in the direction of Shannon Villa, and if she went back at this moment, she was only afraid of bumping into each other.
The traffic police took care of her car and the insurance company contacted the hotel she was staying at and brought the car over.
Victoria looked up the price of the umbrella online and it was a whole $10, 000 and her heart was aching.
Nick had just gotten out of the shower at the moment and reached for his phone, seeing the transfer of ten thousand dollars, raised an eyebrow and sent a question mark.
Mr. Andrews, I’m sorry I broke your umbrella.
It did seem a bit unlucky tonight, and she followed it up with a pitiful emoji.
Nick looked at the expression and stared slightly.
It was a little strange for Victoria, who was so distant to him, to send this expression, and he felt a subtle taste of it at the same time.
