Chapter 100 Unexpected

“Oh, no… You don’t think it’s some journalist, do you?” I asked anxiously.

“No. Security here is pretty tight, so they won’t let anyone in without permission. Wait here while I go get the door,” Nicholas replied calmly, and I nodded in response.

Even if he didn’t say that, I wouldn’t have dared go near the door anyway.

Despite what he said about the security guards not letting outsiders in without permission, the traumatizing experience of having my phone number exposed still left me feeling incredibly nervous.

I should be safe inside the house… At the very least, these journalists wouldn’t dare force their way in as that would count as trespassing, which is illegal!

 

Before I could finish my train of thought, Nicholas had returned with someone else behind him.

I couldn’t really tell who it was from afar as I didn’t have my glasses on, but I could at least see that it was a woman.

 

It wasn’t until the two of them got closer that I got a clearer view of her face, and my jaw dropped in shock when I realized who she was.

Holy sh*t! T-That’s Scarlett Williams!

I quickly scrambled to my feet in a state of panic and tried to say something, but the words were stuck in my throat.

Nicholas burst into laughter when he saw my reaction. “What’s with that look on your face, Liliana? I didn’t think you’d get this excited over a woman! If I recall correctly, you weren’t this excited when we first met!”

He’s right! I think I was able to call him by name when I first saw him, but this is different! I mean, Scarlett visiting Nicholas at his villa in the evening? This could only mean one thing! The two of them are having an affair…I mean, a relationship!

“Hello, my name is Scarlett!” she said with a smile while holding her hand out.

I wiped my trembling hands frantically on my jeans before shaking hers.

“I…I’m L-Liliana… Zanetti.”
