"Watch out!"
Olivia broke out in cold sweat and grabbed the handle in the car. Nicole's face was somewhat pale and
cold sweat oozed out of her forehead.
Ashley was composed, but the corner of her mouth twitched slightly.
Nicole braked. The screech was terrifyingly ear-piercing.
The cars almost crashed, but they finally stopped with a very close distance between them.
Nicole's heart beat wildly. Before she could calm down, the door of the Ferrari opened.
Zayn, dressed in a white suit, walked out of the Ferrari and knocked on the door of Nicole's car.
Nicole's heart skipped a beat.
Ever since she found out that the person who died was Zayn's assistant, Nicole had been wondering
when Zayn would find her. Now, before she got on the plane, Zayn had come to her. Although she was
not surprised, Nicole still frowned.
"Get out of the car. Let's talk."
Zayn's voice was hoarse, and it sounded like he wasn't in a good mood.
Olivia grabbed Nicole and whispered, "You can't go. What if he goes mad and kills you? Don't forget
that you're still injured."
However, Nicole knew that she had to go. No matter what, his assistant was dead, and out of
conscience, she had to go meet him.
"I'd better go. I have to give Zayn an explanation. And if he wants to accuse Samuel, there will be
nothing we can do. Right now, the most important thing is to resolve the misunderstanding."
As Nicole spoke, she unbuckled her seat belt.
Olivia was anxious.
"Don't be stupid, okay? It's a misunderstanding. How can you resolve it with just a few words? Look
how Zayn is like! He can't wait to kill people. It will be useless to go out talk to him and you'd better wait
until we get back to Seapolis City."
Ashley coughed and said, "Nicole will take care of this herself. Don't worry about her."
Olivia was immediately irritated.
"What kind of doctor are you? It's not like you don't know her current condition."
"Alright, stop arguing. Wait here."
Nicole got out of the car in disregard of everyone's opinions.
Zayn had a strong smell of tobacco, which made Nicole's throat itch.
She subconsciously pinched her nose and heard Zayn whisper, "Let's talk alone."
"Okay."
Nicole agreed.
"Where to talk?"
"In my car! Don't worry, I won't delay you from boarding the plane."
Zayn knew Nicole's whereabouts like the back of his hand, which surprised her.
She looked up at Zayn again. From his eyes, Nicole did not read any anger or other emotions, only
sadness and heartache.
"Alright."
Nicole felt inexplicable heartbroken.
She knew what it was like to lose someone.
When Samuel fell from the cliff in Bordeaux, Nicole wished she were dead. Now that she saw Zayn like
this, she couldn't help but recall the rumors.
Zayn and Pedro had an affair.
If this was true, such a pain would be so unbearable.
Nicole damaged Zayn's car. Olivia was so scared that she got down to stop him, but she was still late.
Zayn's car sped away like an arrow that was shot out.
Nicole did not have much emotion. She leaned against the window and watched everything outside
going back while thinking about Samuel.
She wondered how he was doing there.
He had always been a proud man and had never suffered such hardship.
Who schemed against Samuel?
Nicole suspected Major, and now there was Zayn.
Zayn drove to his apartment and stopped.
"Get off."
Nicole froze for a moment. It was not a wise choice to enter an apartment with a man who was
obviously hostile to her, but Nicole had no other choice.
She unbuckled the seat belt and followed Zayn into the apartment.
The apartment was in a mess, and the strong smell of smoke made Nicole cough non-stop.
She scanned the surroundings. There were many wine bottles on the ground. Smoke filled the entire
room and her vision was blurred by it.
Nicole walked to the window and opened it, then bent down to tidy up the room.
Zayn looked at her silently but did not stop her.
His gaze was unfocused as if he took Nicole as someone else. There was a trace of longing in his
eyes, which distressed Nicole a little.
"Pedro's death..."
"It's not Samuel. Don't worry, I won't cause him any trouble."
Zayn knew what Nicole was going to say, so he spoke before she finished.
Nicole was somewhat relieved.
"Zayn, I know I can't change anything, but I still have to say, I'm sorry for your loss."
"Are you comforting me? Or sympathizing with me?"
Zayn looked at Nicole and said with a sharp tone.
Nicole was surprised by his sudden questioning. She didn't know how to answer it properly, so she just
shut up.
When facing a nerd, anyone would feel like they punched on the cotton and their effort would leave
little effect.
Zayn sighed and whispered, "Please get me some water. Thank you."
Nicole agreed and poured him a cup of warm water.
When Zayn took it, he suddenly said, "Pedro is my lover."
This sentence astounded Nicole.
Although there were rumors, there was no evidence. Now that she heard it from Zayn, Nicole was
surprised.
"Do I need to say something?"
"No, I just want to talk to someone."
Zayn's words depressed Nicole, but she didn't know what to say. She just sat beside him and poured
herself a cup of water.
She had injuries on her body and when Zayn was driving fast just now, he didn't notice that Nicole's
back hit against the seat.
Right now, Nicole felt a slight cramp from the pain. She twitched and had to drink some warm water to
relieve her pain.
Zayn was immersed in great sorrow and did not pay attention to Nicole.
He seemed to be lost in memories.
"Pedro and I met in a slum. Do you know what a slum looks like?"
Nicole knew that Zayn did not need her answer.
Zayn's lips curled into a smile. The smile was so sweet and beautiful.
"Many people think of slum as a place for low-class people, and that's true. There, many people
couldn't even feed themselves. I was chased down and had to flee to there. I stayed there for three
days without food or water and was almost starved to death. It was Pedro who gave me his food and
told me to join the entertainment industry after learning what had happened to me."
"Do you know how ridiculous it was when those words were spoken by two people in the slum? But I
agreed. From the moment Pedro gave me his food, I knew he was the one who was sincere to me. He
and I left the slum, escaped the hunt, survived hunger and hardship, and finally got a place in the
entertainment industry. I told myself that I would to give Pedro the best things in the world."
"He promised me yesterday to go back with me, but he's gone today. Do you know how I felt when I
heard about his death? I feel like my world has collapsed."
"Nicole, Pedro means the same to me as Samuel does to you. I know that you may not understand the
feelings between me and him, so what? After all, he is the only person I love so far."
Zayn's eyes were bloodshot, and he almost burst into tears.
Nicole felt pain in her heart. She whispered, "It wasn't Samuel! I can swear with my life that he won't
and doesn't need to do anything to Pedro!"
Zayn looked at Nicole and suddenly smiled bitterly.
"Sometimes I will be so envy of Samuel. It's his blessing to have such a wife like you."
"Samuel is good to me."
"Not as much as you are to him. If it was another woman, she would have left him long ago. The shit in
Green family almost killed you. I wonder where you get the courage to do everything for him."
Zayn's words made Nicole a little uncomfortable.
"Love can be felt only after one experiences it. I don't want to talk too much. Where did you get the
courage to do everything for Pedro like I did to Samuel?"
After Nicole finished speaking, Zayn smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "I can do everything for
another person, it doesn't have to be him. For some other purposes, I might marry and even have
children with a woman. I always thought that I would be loyal in love, but now, it seems that I lost to
reality."
"What do you mean? You're getting married when Pedro's body was still warm?"
Nicole felt that if Zayn answered yes, she would definitely look down on him.
Zayn shook his head and said, "I'm just making an analogy. That's all and you shall leave."
The corner of Nicole's mouth twitched.
"Why did you ask me to come here?"
"Maybe I just want to talk to someone. Otherwise, I'm afraid that I'll go crazy."
Zayn's answer was unacceptable to Nicole.
She stood up.
"You're crazy!"
After saying that, Nicole left.
Zayn whispered, "If you grew up in my environment, you would go crazy as well!"
"I'm glad I didn't know where you grew up."
Nicole felt that there was no need to stay.
Since Zayn had said that this matter had nothing to do with Samuel, she was relieved. At least this man
would not stab behind her back. As for the rest, Nicole thought that she should deal with them later.
Zayn did not ask Nicole to stay, but when Nicole held the doorknob, he suddenly spoke.
"Nicole, Samuel once asked me to get his men passes to Country F. Now that the passes have been
issued, he has been captured. What should we do about that?"
Nicole suddenly stopped.
"What is he going to do in Country F?"
"To get Melissa."
As soon as Zayn said this, Nicole was dumbfounded.
"Who has Melissa?"
