Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 177
Nicole's POVI was already in my office, struggling with the files piled up on my desk as I went through them individually. I had forgotten to ask the man to bring me this pile of work when I arrived at the jewellery store, feeling that returning to the office before the break ended would be impossible.As the company leader, I couldn't possibly set a bad example at work, so I chose to continue my work at home despite not liking it much.I concentrated, reading the documents attached to my desk and jotting down a few small notes, but then my mind was suddenly distracted, so my writing turned into sharp strokes. "Oh, no...." I blinked, realising that the scratches were on the book I had provided, not on the document I was working on, so I breathed a sigh of relief.My face heated up, remembering the kiss I received from Matthew a moment ago. My hand automatically touches my lips, and I can still feel the touch of that man's lips, which feels real now. It's a warm, soft, and sweet sensa

Nicole's POVI blinked a few times, speechless after hearing Selena's words. The woman smiled at my reaction before grabbing my arm and leaving her seat."Take it easy. You'll be confused, Miss Nicole, but you'll understand eventually." She said. Some of the people who come here come with their partners, but when the party starts, they will be removed for some reason. Do you know what I mean?"I just stared at her, not understanding what she was saying. As usual, I had only come here to join the socialite gathering, but that woman had prepared something quite daring and was hoping that I could figure out what she meant.I felt like I had made a mistake by coming here, but I didn't have time to resist when the woman who was older than me hugged my arm and started walking."Miss should be more relaxed. We're at a party I've prepared with you being single in mind." She said, taking two glasses of alcohol from a staff member who walked past us. "Having a partner is a good thing. You won't

Nicole's POVI felt surprised by the man's arrival at the socialite party. He shouldn't have liked something like this because it was informal and not entirely business-related, but it didn't seem to be the case this time.I don't know for sure, but just as I was about to think about it, the man who hadn't seen me finally looked at me. Finding my eyes on the other guests, I automatically averted my gaze.My feelings became uncomfortable with his presence here and a bad feeling with my decision to come here. I shouldn't have come here and chose to rest at home.".... That way, the women and men who don't have a partner tonight will have a partner when they return from this party. It might be lovers at first, but then some of you might get married someday."I frowned slightly when I heard Selena's words, which seemed like the first part of the conversation I hadn't heard. The few people present laughed at the serious joke, which made the elegant woman happy."Hm, are you all getting imp

Nicole's POVI danced with Chris in his arms, with his hand on my back. I wasn't clinging, but just a little close to him and holding hands according to the dance position.Now, he was trying to bring our bodies closer together. The man's hands were already pressing against my back, deliberately pushing me closer, but of course, I refused to give in and gripped my hands on his shoulders for support.I gave him a sharp look. "Don't act so much. I want to be seen dancing, not cuddling with you.""I feel that this is fate." He spoke, smiling as he looked at me.I frowned. "Destiny, you say? Obviously, this is a plan you deliberately made to trap me into being with you."So far, that guy's plan had gone smoothly. I had no idea I would end up with him here when I did everything possible to avoid him.I admit that I can't drive away directly when it's just the two of us like this, but that guy probably already knows the same thing, so he took advantage of it and made me feel trapped in my

Nicole's POVMy eyes widened when something startled me. A loud sound overpowered the music still playing in the bar where the socialite gathering was taking place, something from the man who was now in front of me."What?" I muttered under my breath, hearing the sound even more when focusing only on himI lifted my gaze, looking at Chris, who looked calm even though I could hear the voice very clearly. However, from his gaze directed at me, I could see that he looked troubled. That sound was definitely the heartbeat of the man who was always calm.Hearing his thunderous heartbeat, I was immediately transported to the past when everything between us was still okay.I laughed, touched the tip of the man's nose with me while smiling, saw him close his eyes in a mimetic way, and then pouted slightly. "Huh... You only spent a short time, but I like you, Chris.""I like it for a while. How about a long time?" He said, opening his eyes to look at me, his hands trailing down my bare back. "I

Nicole's POV"Lately, what bad things have you been doing?"The question came out of nowhere from one of the men in the room, someone who had previously been appointed by the bottle and was now the questioner for the woman who took her turn next.I recognized her as Alice, one of the women who had gathered with me and Selena before the men and women were paired with each other.The young woman looked nervous. "Bad thing?"She looked at everyone, trying to find any help she could get, but most of the people in the room just returned curious glances. I could see the woman open and close her mouth several times, at a loss for something to say or choose to keep it to herself.I could understand. There was probably something wrong she had done, whether trivial or significant, but it could have affected the way everyone looked at her. After all, everyone in this room is either the son or grandson of a conglomerate and an influential person in the business world.The self-image of each perso

Nicole's POVThe bottle spun again, and the game resumed among them. The hustle and bustle of the crowd of men and women was giving me a bit of a headache, but I said nothing as I watched the fun.The people who I had previously seen as just someone I knew by name, I could slowly recognize some new things from this game. No tension could sometimes be felt in a regular business meeting, just fun and familiarity for one special night.I glanced at Chris, noticing that he was leaning back on the couch and giving the impression that he wasn't interested in mingling at all, but no one seemed to mind. I was also still silent, wanting to ask questions but also not wanting to engage with him too much.He just happened to look at me. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you have feelings for me now?""Don't get your hopes up." I finally opened my mouth, deciding to ask the thing that was still nagging at me. "You... why bring that up in front of everyone?""So what? I only mentioned it in
Ex-Lover's Regret Chapter 184
Nicole's POVEven though it was just a kiss on the cheek, what Chris did to me instantly made my blood boil. He'd returned to being a jerk, but this time not just in front of myself and my family but in the eyes of many people I didn't know well.The exclamations of the men and women participating in the game could be heard, delighted by the man's sudden kiss. An excited man was heard exclaiming. "How romantic, Mr. Grant!""Oh my, Miss Nicole is really lucky...."I looked down, hiding my face from being seen by others while hearing all the words that seemed to be congratulating our non-existent relationship. I couldn't help myself anymore until my ears felt covered momentarily before standing up."Miss Nicole?" A woman told me something was wrong with my attitude, but I ignored her.That was when the voice of the man next to me rang out, and his hand momentarily restrained me from leaving. "Nicole, are you angry?"I no longer cared about the eyes of those people or Selena, dismissing
