Backstage was too stuffy, so Nicole went out to get some fresh air. As she went, she bumped into
someone head-on.
She dodged subconsciously, but when she looked up, she saw Harvey.
Harvey seemed to be surprised that he would bump into someone whom he had not seen for many
days backstage.
His eyes brightened up, but his expression remained indifferent.
“How are you?”
Nicole raised an eyebrow. Of course, she was fine.
“I’m great.”
As she was about to leave, Harvey suddenly grabbed her hand,
Gary was catching up at the time and saw the interaction between Nicole and Harvey. He was stunned
for a second before he quickly hid in the shadows and observed them. He wondered if Harvey was also
taking a liking to Nicole.
Nicole looked back at the handsome Harvey with displeasure, seemingly seeing the sullen guy again.
There was always a strong desire for destruction in his eyes, as if he had the greatest malice toward
the world and did not have the slightest love for everything. No one, including Nicole, liked such a
person. It did not help that Harvey was trying to pursue her.
She broke free of his grip and looked at him with disgust. “I’ve told you many times; we aren’t that
close.”
‘Yet he keeps on stalking me.’
Harvey looked at her; she had put on makeup for the performance, looking even more stunning in a
fairy dress. But the disgust in her eyes was exactly the same as before.
He lowered his head and smiled, but his voice was indescribably hoarse. He did not know what wrong
he had done and why Nicole was so disgusted every time she saw him.
“I know we are not that close, but I don’t know why I would rather make myself feel so bad than hold
you.”
But she did not want him to hold her hand. ‘Why is he willing to lowerhimself for me?’
He was the high-flying Harvey, but he did not know why every time he saw Nicole, he wanted to spend
more time with her and feel as if the sun was shining into the depths of his soul.
Nicole took a deep breath and kept her senses. “I have given you many chances because you are Mr.
Ellison’s grandson. Now stop harassing me. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” She could no longer stand
Harvey’s rude behavior anymore.
“Why do you hate me so much?” Harvey looked Nicole in the eyes, and for the first time, there was
some sincerity.
Nicole frowned. She did not want to waste more time with him, but his question really puzzled her.
“What does this have to do with hating you? People who are not close to each other should keep their
distance.” Nicole did not have any opinion about Harvey. To her, he was just Mr. Ellison’s grandson.
Harvey looked at her and knew that what she said was true.
‘It is good enough that she doesn’t hate me.’ Harvey had a faint smile on his face at the thought of this.
Nicole looked at him and did not want to face him for another second. So she quickly finished what she
wanted to say. “I don’t care what you think, but even if I don’t hate you, please respect yourself and
keep your distance from me from now on.”
Strangely, the smile on Harvey’s face widened after Nicole chided him. He instantly felt better when he
heard Nicole solemnly say again that she did not hate him.
