Crying Her a River Chapter 75
Nikita had completely ignored Nathaniel. On the other hand, Mason was so pleased he nearly burst into laughter. He quickly stifled his grin and was ready to take Nikita back to the hotel to change.Since the exhibition was still in full swing, she told him to continue browsing while she headed back alone.Even after she disappeared through the doors, Nathaniel's gaze lingered on the spot where she had vanished.Regina didn't miss the brief flicker of jealousy in his eyes. She could hardly believe it—Nathaniel was actually jealous!Although the necklace around her neck was worth millions of dollars, it suddenly seemed less significant. After all, a few million was mere pocket change to Nathaniel. What truly mattered was his attention, which felt far more valuable.Nikita had already seen enough of the exhibition, and the thought of running into Nathaniel and Regina again soured her mood.The spilled drink had soaked through her clothes, sticking to her skin, and the cold wind outs

"What use is rejecting it? Didn't our families discuss it already? A marriage alliance is a very normal thing. You should just accept it."The elders of the Grays and the Lamars had been in a hurry to get the engagement done, but if Mason refused to speak up, they wouldn't be able to set a date at all.Mason could not understand why Jasmine was acting as if she was devoted to him. They had only met twice, after all."I can't accept this, because the person I have feelings for is Nikita."The atmosphere seemed to congeal at once.Nikita had been enjoying the show, but upon hearing Mason's words, her expression stiffened. She turned to Jasmine in a panic to try and explain.She did not have any feelings for Mason at all! It wasn't as if they were in some kind of melodrama.Jasmine raised her hand and covered Nikita's mouth. She was very calm. "You don't have to say anything. I know that you don't have any such intention. It's just Mason's unrequited love."Nikita blinked to expre

Jasmine answered all of Mason's questions. Actually, Nathaniel had been a pretty nice guy in high school. No one knew when he had started to become so cold and ruthless.After listening, Mason's heart ached even more for Nikita.Jasmine saw that he looked like he had lost his soul, so she thought of pouring him a glass of water.She was wearing a long skirt that day, and when she got up she accidentally stepped on it, making her fall forward.Mason reacted quickly and grabbed her arm. He instinctively pulled her toward him, and Jasmine fell right into his arms. Jasmine's cheek was against Mason's neck, and the two of them were pressed tightly against each other. They could both feel the warmth emanating from the other.Mason was startled. The woman in his arms felt even softer than he had imagined, and strands of her long hair tickled his nose. The scent of her shampoo smelt very nice. Jasmine recovered first. She looked up and laughed rather awkwardly. "Sorry. My lipstick got

Mason was no pushover either. After he got over his shock, he and Nathaniel became locked in a tussle.However, Nathaniel still had an edge on him, and Mason ended up suffering from several blows. He was soon at a disadvantage.Nikita and Jasmine heard the noise and ran out quickly. The men in the corridor were caught up in the heat of the battle. When Nikita saw that there were several wounds on Mason's face, her chest tightened, and she ran up to them quickly to try and separate them."Stop fighting!" Nikita had come over all of a sudden, and Mason was afraid of hurting her, so he began pulling back his punches and kicks. This gave Nathaniel an opening, and he swung his fist at Mason's eye. Nikita's mind had gone blank. She instinctively stood in front of Mason to shield him.When Nathaniel saw Nikita, his eyes flickered, and he redirected the punch to the wall beside them instead.Nikita watched as the punch created a huge hole in the wall. Nathaniel's knuckles began bleeding

Nikita got some antiseptic and a cotton bud and began to disinfect Nathaniel's wound for him.Nathaniel stared fixedly at her. She had her head bent as she earnestly helped him to clean his wound. She would blow on it from time to time, and it felt as if a feather had drifted over Nathaniel's heart. He looked at Nikita's pretty features, and his Adam's apple bobbed up and down. After she finished putting on the bandages, he suddenly pushed her down onto the couch. He pinched her chin and kissed her.His kiss felt eager and anxious, as if he had recovered a lost treasure. Nikita's eyes widened, and she pushed him in protest. Nathaniel grabbed her easily and raised her hands over her head.Nikita tried her best to move her head aside and avoid his kiss.Nathaniel's kiss fell on her cheek, and he couldn't help frowning. He firmly moved her face back to its original position.When he saw the look of resistance in Nikita's eyes, he was slightly stunned. She had never been like that

Nikita's eyelashes fluttered slightly. She suppressed the fear she felt and raised her head to look right into his eyes. The expression on her face was obstinate and defiant. "I don't want anything, Nathaniel! Get up! You and I are over!'She could not compromise. Once she did so, he would be sure to become even more unreasonable.Nathaniel had lost his patience. There was an icy flash in his eyes, and he pinched Nikita's chin and kissed her.There was a sudden knock on the door, and Regina's voice rang out. "Nathaniel, I bought you coffee. Open the door to get it."When Nikita heard Regina's voice, she felt as if her savior had come. She struggled to get up and turned her head. Now that she could finally breathe, she said quickly, "Nathaniel, aren't you afraid that Regina will misunderstand if you do this?"Nathaniel's jaw dropped slightly, and his heart felt hollow. He twisted Nikita's face toward him and laughed coldly. "There's nothing going on between me and her. What can she

When Nikita got back, Jasmine and Mason were still there. They finally breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that she was unharmed.The next day, Jasmine went back to Halvord City with Nikita and the others.After they got back, Nikita got a reply from a client she had contacted previously. The client was willing to choose their company to collaborate with.It was a large order, and it would require several designers to work together. Naturally, Mason gave Nikita the biggest and most important part of the job.After Nikita got back from her business trip, she did not take any time to rest and immersed herself in her work at once. She busied herself with the preliminary design drafts. She sat in front of the computer for two days and finally drew the first draft of the design. She stood up and stretched, then picked up a glass and walked over to the pantry.When she reached the door to the pantry, she heard her name."There must be something going on between Nikita and Mr. Gra

"What are you doing?" Nikita suddenly spoke up, making Jessica jump in fright. Her knees buckled, and she almost fell.She turned abruptly, and there was a flash of panic and fear on her face when she saw Nikita. "D-didn't you get off work?"Nikita waved the keys in her hand. "I did get off work. If I hadn't left my keys in the office, I wouldn't have caught you deleting my design draft."She put her phone away.Jessica finally realized that Nikita had been recording. She broke into a cold sweat and reached out to grab her phone.Nikita took two steps back to avoid her and said very coldly, "I'm going to give this video to Mr. Gray tomorrow. Tonight, you'd better think about how you're going to explain it."Nikita pushed Jessica away, turned off her computer, and left.She already had backups of that design draft in her online drive, and she was not worried about Jessica deleting it at all.
