Seven Days Seven Nights

Chapter 192 Heartache

“Ha, calm down?”

Julian sneered, extending his hands to block the door, effectively trapping Nancy between it and

himself.

Nancy grew even more fearful, her breathing becoming faint.

“Julian, this is the office. You can’t do this.”

“Well, let me tell you, I’m definitely going to.”

With those words, Julian reached out, forcefully tilting Nancy’s chin, and kissed her.

Nancy’s eyes widened in shock. In that moment, she didn’t have time to think too much. She shouted for him to stop while also raising her hand and slapping him.

A loud slap rang through the quiet office, resounding with unusual clarity.

For an instant, both were stunned.

Julian’s eyes were wide with disbelief, staring at Nancy in utter shock.

I got slapped?She actually slapped me?

Nancy looked at her own hand, feeling a bit scared after the fact.

Without waiting any longer, she swung open the door and hurried out.

As soon as she escaped Julian’s office, her phone started ringing.

Nancy didn’t have the time to pay attention to it. She just kept running. She went down several flights of stairs, then took an elevator back to the lounge. Finally, she locked the door behind her, and only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

Her phone started ringing again. Nancy took it out and realized it was a call from Nicholas.
