Spencer's POV:

 

After Charles left me for dead, I turned to Nicole, feeling helpless. She didn't look like she had any intention of leaving. And she was looking at me with the same hopeful gaze as she did this morning.

 

"Let's go have dinner," I said. She had been with me for an entire day. Out of politeness, I decided to invite her to dinner before sending her home.

 

"Sounds great!" Nicole nodded readily.

 

Not long after, I drove her to a pizza restaurant. We sat a table in the corner.

 

"Mr. Moore kind of seemed standoffish. Are all CEOs like him?" Nicole asked tentatively.

 

"What made you say that?" I was honestly curious of how people viewed Charles.

 

"When he was looking at me earlier, his eyes were so cold and intimidating. Honestly, I was scared!" Nicole said as she drew back her neck.

 

I nodded at her and said, "Well, he's like that to everyone."

 

"I heard that he's very protective of his wife, so it made me think that he's a passionate man." Nicole took a sip of orange juice and continued, "I once saw his wife on TV. She's so beautiful and elegant. She must be really good at hiding her true self."

 

"What does that mean?" I paused from chewing my pizza as I looked at her.

 

She looked around before leaning close to me. "Don't you know? Some people say that her father was a criminal and he committed suicide by jumping off a building. Her mother, on the other hand, had an affair with another man. A woman from such a complicated family must be conniving."

 

As I looked at Nicole's face, I kind of felt scared of her.

 

Even though she looked harmless, her words were sharper than knives.

 

At first, I thought that Nicole's pure temperament was similar to that of Scarlett's. But now, I realized that she was nothing like Scarlett. Scarlett would never speak ill of anyone behind their backs.

 

"Do you agree, Spencer?" Nicole flashed me a grin, appearing to be sweet and innocent.

 

But to her chagrin, I just felt disgusted of her fake kindness.

 

Abruptly, I put down my pizza. "You probably don't know how I'm related to Charles and Scarlett."

 

"How are you related to them?" asked Nicole.

 

So, don't ever speak ill of them in front of me. You're not just insulting them, you're insulting me, too. And I
