Flashing him a stiff smile, she racked her brain and churned out an excuse.

“Mr. Seet, you’ve got the wrong idea. I’ve been applying quite a few acupuncture treatments to my patients lately, so I just need some exercise to soothe my sore limbs.”

“Oh, really? Should I get you a therapist to give you a massage?”

At the same time, Evan sized her up with a crafty look.

Sensing the bad intention from his expression, it took Nicole no more than a second to understand what he was trying to imply.

“It’s not necessary. I can continue doing exercise at home later.” With that, she gave him another stiff smile before spinning around and taking to her heels out to the courtyard as if she were running for her life.

It didn’t occur to her that Evan would actually turn around all of a sudden.

Should she continue pestering him for the several thousand?

At the moment, two voices emerged in her head. One of them was urging her to go for it because her hard work deserved to be rewarded and she needed respect for her effort.

Meanwhile, the other one was dissuading her because she would be able to make more money from her clinic in the future. If she continued pestering Evan for the money, not only might he not pay her readily, but it might also get her into more trouble in the future.
