Chapter 1514

However, Nicole’s anticipated scene did not arrive.

In its place, there was a dull thud, followed by the sound of shattering glass.

She never expected that when she lunged toward Jean, he not only had no intention of catching her but quickly sidestepped two steps away.

Nicole didn’t expect him to react like that. Her body was already leaning over, and it was too late to stop her momentum. She could only watch, wide-eyed, as she headed straight for the corner of the wall.

Luckily, she braced herself with her hand. Otherwise, she might have ended up with a bump on her forehead.

The wine glass in her hand toppled over, spilling its contents all over the floor. Some of the wine even splashed onto her dress.

She clumsily steadied herself, looking utterly disheveled.

Yet, the man in front of her merely looked at her with a cold gaze, showing not the slightest intention of stepping forward to help.

Feeling his straightforward gaze on her, Nicole was flushed with embarrassment.

With her head slightly lowered, she composed herself, ensuring she wasn’t too disheveled. Once satisfied, she lifted her gaze, deliberately adopting a pitiful expression. Biting the corner of her lip, she looked at Jean. “Sir, I almost bumped into you just now. I’m really sorry. I hope I didn’t dirty your clothes.”

Having said that, she made a show of looking at the man’s clothes. Pretending to be casual, she reached out as if she genuinely wanted to check if his clothes had been dirtied.

However, as she extended her hand halfway, Jean took two steps back, creating a distance between them.

Meanwhile, a clear hint of impatience surfaced between his brows. “Keep your intentions to yourself. Please show some respect.”

Leaving behind such a harsh, cold statement, he couldn’t be bothered to give her another glance. He turned around and walked away.
