Nicole was instantly surrounded by a familiar aura.
Nicole subconsciously wanted to push him away, but Samuel directly held her hands and took her into
his embrace.
"You..."
Nicole raised her head slightly. Accidently, her lips touched Samuel's, causing both of them to tremble.
Samuel's eyes darkened as he felt the impulse. He suddenly held Nicole's head and kissed her in a
domineering way.
Nicole resisted for a while and then gave up.
After the sex, Nicole went to take a bath.
Looking at her back, Samuel felt at ease for the first time in so many days.
Nicole stood under the shower and let the water flow. She still had feelings for Samuel but she just
could not pretend that that thing had never happened.
If Samuel really hadn't cheated on, why would he try so hard to avoid talking about it with her?
Why would that woman die?
Nicole didn't think that she could get over this, but thinking that she had just had sex with Samuel, she
sighed.
As she came out, Samuel stared at her with his bright eyes.
"When will you go back to the Seapolis City?"
"I won't go back."
Nicole swung her hair.
Samuel found the hairdryer and walked over. Then he grabbed her hair in his hand.
Nicole was surprised, but she did not stop him.
Then Samuel dried her hair while Nicole leaned against the bed with her eyes closed just like it used to
be.
Nicole's hair was very smooth.
Samuel had always liked her long hair, and he was very happy that he could still touch her hair.
"Are you still angry?"
"Having sex with you doesn't mean that I'm not angry. Or maybe I'm not angry and perhaps I just want
to know why. Samuel, don't hide it from me, no matter what the truth is. Although I believe that you
didn't cheat on me, what exactly happened between you and that woman? Can you tell me?"
Nicole suddenly opened her eyes.
Samuel was startled and whispered, "I told you that we were together because I had to ask her
something. I really didn't expect her to have feelings for me."
"What's it?"
Maybe that was the point.
Samuel whispered, "Something about the company."
"Still won't tell me, huh?"
Nicole felt somewhat upset. They had just had sex and now the atmosphere became weird again.
"I have to tune the zither up. You can sleep here if you want."
Nicole withdrew her long hair and went to the study in pajama.
She did not drive Samuel away.
Samuel did not know if he should be happy for that.
Nicole came to the study with an empty mind.
She thought about Samuel's cheating, but there was no clue. Then she thought of Zayn.
Why would such a super star suddenly pay attention to her?
Did Samuel and Zayn know each other?
Why would Zayn keep silent after being beaten?
Unless he had known who had hit him and who Samuel was.
However, with Samuel's background, if Zayn was an ordinary person, it would be normal for him to
keep silent.
Nicole was thinking hard, but she still couldn't find an appropriate reason.
Nicole didn't believe that Zayn had fallen in love with her at first sight. She was not that narcissistic and
it was impossible. After all, Zayn was quite handsome. He could totally get any woman he wanted.
There was no reason for him to like a married woman.
Nicole was confused.
Perhaps Zayn knew that the woman?
Thinking of this, Nicole suddenly got through everything.
If it was true, then what was the relationship between Zayn and that woman?
Was he getting close to her to deal with Samuel?
Or was he going to avenge that woman?
Nicole frowned.
She picked up the phone and sent a text message to Olivia.
"Are you asleep?"
"Not yet. What? Did Samuel leave?"
Olivia sent a meme of smiling face.
Nicole blushed.
How did she know?
"No, he probably will sleep here tonight."
"Poor me, I'm going to be homeless tonight again."
Nicole laughed out.
"Come on. I need to ask you something."
"What?"
Nicole paused for a moment and then wrote, "Do you remember Samuel's mistress? She's dead. I
want to ask you if there's anyone you know who can help me find out the information of that woman."
Olivia frowned slightly.
"What about Laurence?"
"I don't want to use my people."
Olivia suddenly understood.
Nicole probably didn't want Samuel to know.
"You still can't get it over, can you?"
"Maybe, I can't help but keep thinking that there's something I don't know about. Furthermore, don't you
find it strange that a big shot like Zayn should come to my place?"
"Are you suspecting that Zayn has something to do with that woman?"
Olivia got the point.
Nicole nodded and said, "Yes. As for the result, I still have to do some investigation to find out about it. I
don't want Samuel to know."
Olivia understood what she meant.
"Do you think Samuel is hiding something from you?"
"Yes."
"Now that he wants to hide it from you, we probably won't be able to find anything. Why don't you ask
him directly?"
Nicole's face immediately changed.
"I've asked him but he wouldn't tell me."
Olivia was upset.
If Samuel won't tell Nicole, it would probably be a very serious matter. Perhaps it had something to do
with Nicole. In this case, should she continue to help Nicole investigate the truth?
Olivia hesitated.
"What? Even you won't help me now?"
Nicole seemed to have sensed Olivia's thoughts through the phone.
"No, I just thought that if Samuel didn't want you to know, it might be for your own good. If you insist on
finding out the truth, perhaps you wouldn't be able to take it then."
"I have the right to know anyway."
Olivia understood right away.
"Alright, I see. I'll see if my friend could do me this favor."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Nicole looked at Samuel's room and had a strange feeling.
The next day, Nicole took the zither to the Fortune Building.
She had someone throw away the broken zither, and then put the new one onto the table.
It fell silent immediately in the band.
Everyone in the band had been working in the music industry for so many years and they could tell how
valuable the zither was.
None of them had expected Nicole to buy such an expensive zither
Nicole sat down, took out the sheet and brushed the strings. The zither's sound was very pleasant.
Then she played the whole piece of music quickly, ignoring the gazes of the people around her.
Some people's expressions began to change.
Michael saw the zither in Nicole's hand as soon as he arrived.
"Nicole, this is..."
"Hey, Michael. I prefer its sound so I bought it. After this album is done, maybe I'll make this zither as a
gift to the band."
Michael was surprised.
He could tell how valuable this zither was. Now that Nicole said that she wanted to give it to the band,
he was really excited.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course. This is my gift for you for teaching and taking care of Olivia."
Nicole said with a smile.
"No, no, no. Olivia is talented. I really like her."
Michael was very happy.
Others all kept silent.
However, later in the bathroom, Nicole heard two people whispering.
"See? That rich bitch took such an expensive zither over today. I mean, can she just stop showing off
one day?"
"And she even wanted to flatter Michael. Who knows whether Garina can come back or not? To put it
bluntly, she is just earning a good reputation for herself."
Nicole didn't take it to heart.
This was normal in the workplace. She was a newbie, so no matter what, people would criticize her. As
long as they didn't cause her trouble, she would just ignore them.
Thinking of this, Nicole opened the partition door and came out to wash her hands as if nothing had
happened. The two persons were shocked.
Their expressions were funny when they saw Nicole.
Nicole walked past them, totally ignoring them.
They were outraged.
"That bitch! She's just rich. What does she know?"
"Yeah, I'm rich. Sue me!"
Nicole paused for a moment at the door, then turned around and smiled sweetly at them. What she had
said made the two even angrier.
Nicole left then.
She played the zither here for Olivia. As for the others, she didn't really need to care about them. If they
crossed the line, Nicole wouldn't mind teaching them some lessons.
After returning to the set, Olivia hurriedly walked over and said, "What took you so long? Did they do
something to you?"
"Do you think I'm that weak?"
Nicole's voice was clear enough to be heard, and people around were all surprised.
At this moment, the door was pushed open. Several people came in with a few boxes.
"These are some fresh fruits prepared by Ms. Bush. They have just been shipped over from abroad."
Nicole was surprised.
Ms. Bush?
Was that man talking about her?
When had she ever done that?
And these fruits looked very expensive.
The others were also surprised.
Seeing that everyone was staring, Nicole was confused, too. She didn't know what to say. Then the
fruit man took a step forward and respectfully said to Nicole, "Ms. Bush, the fruits have been delivered.
We're leaving now."
Then they turned around and left.
Nicole was even more confused now.
