Chapter 189 It's About Nikki
"Mr. Fred, it is a great honor of us to have you guide us to blend perfumes. I wonder if you are free tonight. We want to give you a welcome party." Fred looked at the woman in front of him who was looking at him with a shy expression. His handsome face still had a gentle smile.
"I need to ask Ann's opinion."
Ann, who was immersed in reading the information, suddenly trembled. She looked up and saw that almost all the women in the office were looking at her.
The corners of Ann's mouth twitched. She glanced at Fred, who was looking at her gently and then looked at her excited colleagues.
She swallowed and forced a smile.
"I have no objections at all!"
Fred looked at Ann with a subtle smile. Then, under the expectant gaze of everyone, he nodded.
"Since that's the case, then thank you, everyone."
When they got off work.
The people from the R&D department cheered as they walked out of the company hall. However, they straightened up at the gate.
Everyone was greeting Phillip, their CEO. Ann felt tense when she saw him.
Fred got closer to Ann. He hugged Ann's slender waist. In the eyes of outsiders, it was like Ann had taken the initiative to lean into his arms.
Phillip was still wearing a pure black suit. It was the simplest style and color, but when he wore it, it looked noble and elegant.
Phillip was about to get in the car when he noticed the gaze on him.
His cold gaze swept over and landed on Ann, who was leaning against Fred.
Just when Ann was worried that Phillip would do something out of control, he indifferently withdrew his gaze. The expression on his cold and handsome face did not change at all as he bent down and got into the car.
Watching the low-key and luxurious Rolls-Royce Phantom leave, Ann had mixed feelings.
Phillip's face reminded Ann of the time when she first returned to the country and went to the Moore Group for the interview.
He was cold and indifferent, with a chilling sharpness.
They had been through a lot. Phillip was too proud to waste his patience on a woman who kept turning him down.
It was for the best of both of them.
"Ann?"
Ann looked up and smiled when she saw Fred's concerned eyes.
"I'm fine. Let's go. The colleagues are waiting."
In the car.
Aydan drove. Through the rearview mirror, he looked at Phillip who was leaning against the back seat with his eyes closed.
"Phillip, Todd just sent a message, saying that he will be back in the next few days. He asked us to go to the Sky Club to get him a welcome party."
"Tell him to come to the Dylan Villa after he returns to River City." Phillip opened his eyes slightly.
"Try to bring Nikki along," he paused.
Aydan was shocked. He knew about this little girl. She was Ann's daughter. Her father was unknown.
But... Was Phillip going to threaten Ann with her daughter?
Aydan was distracted by the horrible thought. He couldn't hold the steering wheel, so the car drifted a bit.
"Phillip, it's not a good idea, right?"
Aydan heard the line in primetime.
You got my body but not my heart.
If Phillip did this, even if Ann gave in for her daughter, it was still against her will. It wouldn't work.
Just as Aydan could not help but picture a scene in his mind, Phillip stopped him.
"Stop your fantasy!"
Aydan said, "Then, where are we going now?"
Phillip narrowed his eyes and said.
"To the Holy Club."
In a private room of the Holy Club.
Ann hugged a cushion and curled up on the sofa in the corner of the room.
She looked at the female colleagues in front of her who wanted to get her drunk by toasting her.
Looking at Fred, who was surrounded in the middle not far away, Ann sighed in his heart. That was the problem when a man looked too good.
Ann burped.
Ann couldn't help but burp. She felt like puking, so she waved at the colleague in front of her.
"I can't drink anymore. I need to go to the bathroom."
After saying that, Ann felt a surge of nausea in her stomach. She dashed out before getting any reply.
Fred, who was surrounded by a group of female colleagues, saw this and wanted to catch up.
Those women wouldn't let Fred leave since it was a valuable chance.
The women surrounded Fred with their glasses.
Inside the bathroom.
Ann felt refreshed after she puked. She staggered out of the bathroom and rested on the sink for a while. Then, she washed her face and rinsed her mouth with cold water.
Ann was finally sober and she felt the cold wind on the balcony outside before Ann returned to the private room.
The light in the KTV corridor was dim. Ann stood at the door of a private room. She narrowed her eyes and looked at the number on it for a long time, trying to confirm whether it was her private room. Yet the door of the private room suddenly opened from inside.
A middle-aged man with a big belly came out. He seemed to be drunk.
When he saw Ann, he started to look up and down at her. He reached out to grab Ann's shoulders.
Ann heard mixed sounds.
The sound of bones moving, accompanied by the screams of the middle-aged man, as well as the familiar, deep, cold voice.
"Get lost!"
Ann stiffened as she stared at the middle-aged man. It was as if he had seen something terrifying and left in terror.
She turned around and saw Phillip, who was standing behind her.
Under the dim light, only the outline of his face could be vaguely seen, but his pair of dark and cold eyes were extremely clear. Ann suddenly became sober.
After a while, she forced a smile.
"Thank you."
She was being polite and distant as if he was a stranger to her.
Phillip's face did not change as he nodded.
Just as Ann was about to turn around and leave, Phillip's deep and cold voice came from behind.
"In three days, I will wait for you at the Dylan Villa." He paused. "It's about Nikki."
Ann paused and turned to look at him.
However, Phillip had already retracted his gaze. He looked peaceful and even cold. He strode into the private room beside him.
Ann frowned with confusion.
Nikki?
She thought Nikki was having an extra-curriculum activity with Daisy.D
