President’s Secret Obsession With Ex-wife

Natalia’s ankle was now swollen as struggled to her feet, determined to make a scene.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“Nick, this woman she…!”

But before Natalia could finish her sentence, Victoria raised her hand and pointed at the security camera.

“You deliberately splashed me in the first place, and if your intention was to keep me away from Mr. Andrews, then I believe you underestimate who Mr. Andrews is,” Victoria said with a smile. “Everyone knows that Mr. Andrews isn’t one to make such a mistake with women.”

As the saying goes, “Don’t hit a smiling person with your own hand.” Victoria knew that, in the end, Nick wouldn’t be able to say much even if he wanted to make things difficult for herself. A trace of mischief glinted in her eyes.

“Miss Rodriguez, as a subordinate, your display of defensiveness is overly obvious, and I really don’t know if it’s for the sake of your so-called cousin, or for yourself.”

Natalia seethed with anger. How could this woman talk so much? And why was she tongue-tied in front of her cousin-in-law?

“Nick…” She sounded a bit pitiful as she looked at Nick, hoping he would speak up on her behalf.

But Nick’s gaze bypassed her and settled on Victoria.

Victoria graciously locks eyes with Nick, appearing candid in comparison to Natalia’s pretense.

“Nick, I really didn’t mean to do it,” Natalia stammered, her voice tinged with desperation.

Natalia was growing concerned about her position at Andrews Enterprise and how she would report to her cousin when she lost her job.

The point was, she felt fortunate to be so close to Nick.

However, Nick avoided her outstretched hand, his demeanour unfazed, and he said nonchalantly, “Whether it was intentional or not, the truth will be revealed when we review the surveillance footage.”

Natalia’s face instantly turned pale, and her hand clenched into a tight fist. Nick intended to see this through.

But when she first joined the company, didn’t her cousin tell her that she had already told Nick she wanted him to look after her?

Victoria could also see that Nick was determined to pursue the issue, and she wasn’t naive enough to believe that Nick would jeopardize his relationship with someone he liked to support her.

It was clear that this request to see the surveillance footage was more about easing the awkwardness of the scene than uncovering the truth. Victoria had no desire to get further entangled with Nick and the Rodriguez family.

With that realization, she intervened, saying, “Mr. Andrews, there’s no need to review the video footage. I think Miss Rodriguez may have been nervous.”

Her statement left everyone in the room puzzled,

Victoria continued to explain calmly and gently, “It’s ok that the misunderstanding is cleared up.”

Nick narrowed his eyes and instructed Declan, who was beside him, “Take her to the dressing room and have another outfit brought in.”

Declan nodded and quickly approached Victoria. “This way, Poppy.”

With her dress in disarray, Victoria had no choice but to follow Declan. Meanwhile, Natalia remained where she was, clenching her teeth in frustration.

As she saw Nick entering the conference room, Natalia decided to follow Victoria discreetly.

Victoria had just entered the locker room when she heard Natalia’s voice from behind.

“You might have fooled everyone else with your little trick, but not me. Someone in our group posted a picture of you and Nick having dinner together at a hotel. You cunning bitch!”

No wonder, someone had been snitching for a long time. Victoria found the situation quite amusing. She continued to wipe the coffee stains from her chest and raised an eyebrow.

“Miss Rodriguez, if I recall correctly, Mr. Andrews is a married man. What standing do you have to meddle in his private life? After all, your cousin isn’t married to Nick, and openly coveting someone else’s husband might not reflect well if Mrs. Andrews was to find out, don’t you think?”
