He slashed the overturned table with the sword, and the table was smashed into pieces.Hailey stood by the side, and she suddenly widened her eyes with fear. The next second, she was held tightly by an arm. Hailey felt so familiar to that arm.Nikolai whispered in her ear with a mellow voice, "Don't be afraid."At that moment, those simple words seemed to have some magic power. She heard it and it reached her heart swiftly.Not only her heart, but her entire being seemed to have been calmed down by what he said.Since those things happened five years ago, she rarely let herself fall into panic. Even if she was really scared, she would face the unknown calmly.But now, the man she hated deeply was standing beside her as a protector and telling her not to be afraid.He was willing to stand in front of her and protect her.But why dud he bring her there even though he knew there would be such a dangerous situation?In the short span of less than a second, Hailey thought a lot. She vaguel
When they went outside, Hailey saw Sean surprisingly. During those days, Sean seemed to have disappeared. She thought that he had gone abroad for a business trip, but it turned out that he was in quayside city.So, was that show designed by both Nikolai and Sean in advance to deliberately Target Boss Maynes?"President Nikolai, I have drafted the contract for the relocation of Leeds village again. Please take a look"Sean glanced at Hailey. There was a look of surprise in his eyes, but he did not think much about it. He quickly handed over the contract in his hand to Nikolai..Nikolai threw the contract inti the car. "I'm tired today. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Get in the car"His last words were meant for Hailey.Hailey's heart skipped a beat. She opened the door and got into the car. Nikolai stepped on the gas pedal and the car sped away.Sean touched his nose gloomily.Sean thought, "That's my car, okay? Both of us are your subordinates. President Nikolai, can you not treat me d
The car stopped at the entrance of a five star hotel.Nikolai asked for two presidential suites, and he handed the room access card to Hailey. "You've been tired for a whole day, and you've reached quiet a great shock too. You should wash up first. Besides, dinner will be sent to your room later."Hailey nodded and took it. Then she rushed into her room and closed the door.After realizing his intentions, she became slightly afraid. Age was afraid that he would act recklessly, and she was afraid that she would lose herself. Moreover, she was even more afraid that she would not be able to hold onto her original plans resolutely.While she was thinking about those things, her cell phone rang in her pocket. The caller ID showed that it was a call From Asher."Hailey, I've just seen the news. Some kind of large issue happened in Quayside City. Boss Maynes and his gang have been ruined entirely. Are you okay?"Hailey walked into the room and said, "I'm fine. Where's Zaney? Did he make a fu
Hailey was being put in a difficult position. She then went lying in the hotel room for a whole day. When it was almost seven o'clock, she changed her clothes and went out It took Cokes cooperation half a year to finish the project of Quayside city. It was not until when Boss Maynes abd his gang was ruined that the initial relocation work was finished. The general manager of the subsidiary company of Cokes cooperation held a celebration partying for this occasion.Hailey, dresses in a blue strapless evening gown went to the celebration hall alone. As soon as she got out of the car, she saw a group of reporters gathered at the entrance."President Nikolai, may I ask if you're the one who secretly brought about the arrest of Boss Maynes and his gangs?""President Nikolai, someone revealed that you're inspector Wood old acquaintance. Are you the one who cooperated with inspector Wood to plot against the gang if ruffians? ""President Nikolai, all of the villagers of Leeds village are in
Manila City.At the door of the Coke's family old manor.Zane jumped out of the red sport car and waved at the person in the car. "Daddy, bye! Come back and pick me up Tonight."Asher whistled loudly, "if you have the ability, spend the night here. I will come to pick you up tomorrow morning!""Hump! I think you just want to take this opportunity to get rid of me since I'm nothing but a big trouble for you."He chuckled. "I can't believe that you've seen through me!""If you don't come and pick me up tonight, I will call Mommy and tell her that you bully me!""Fine, I will definitely come..."Zane, who was carrying his school bag, hopped to the door of the Coke's family old manor and knocked on the door."Zaney, here you are at last!" Christy jumped out from behind the door, hugged Zane and dragging him into the house.Zane coughed slightly. "Hey, I can walk by myself. Let go of me first."Christy giggled. "Zaney, you promised me yesterday that you will come to my house to play with m
That night in Quayside city was exceptionally quiet. Hailey was in a deep sleep,but she was awakened by the vibrating cell phone. The caller ID showed that it was a call from Asher, and was just tao o'clock on tbe morning.Although he was willful and unreliable, he never called her at such late hour."Hailey, something happened to Zane""What's wrong?"Hailey thought she heard it wrong. She sat up on the bed and cakmly rubbed her face."Don't get anxious first." Asher took a deep breath and said, "Zane is in the hospital now. He's crying for you. If not, I won't call you at this hour. I've booked a plane ticket for you at four o'clock in the morning. You will be arriving in Manila City at seven o'clock in the morning. When you're back, I will tell you the details."Hailey exclaimed inwardly, "the hospital!"Her sleepiness disappeared at once. She did dare to ask more. She quickly put on her clothes, stuffed her things into the suitcases and rushed to the airport anxiously.As soon as
"Mommy, I went to Christy's house yesterday and had a good time. Her family asked me to stay for dinner. Everything was normal, but as soon as I finished eating, Christy vomited and had fever. She was then sent to the hospital. The doctor said that it was food poisoning, and all the food there were taken away by the police. "Zane told her the whole story honestly. "The police said that the biscuits are toxic. I didn't believe it so I ate all the biscuits...""Why are you so stupid?" Hailey held his head. "Even if you wanted to prove your innocence, you shouldn't use use a stupid way.""Mommy, you made the biscuits for me. They can't be toxic, so I dare to eat them. But I fainted as soon as I finished eating them. Mommy, there must be someone who put poison in the biscuits in my box. Either they wanted to kill me or frame me for killing Christy."Zane was very clever, and he pinpointed the main thing in just a few words.Hailey pursed her lips. "Regarding that biscuits box, who else t
He dragged her wrist forcefully with his large palm. Hailey struggled hard, but failed to free herself. She tried her best to pretend that she knew nothing. "President Nikolai, I have asked for leave from Sean. It's not working hours now. If there's anything wrong, can we talk about it when we get to work?""Tell me, why are you in the hospital?" Nikolai stared at her coldly and say nothing. Zaney was her life. Without him, she could never live more than five years..Now if she was to hand over Zaney to him, she could not do that Her face turned cold. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the people coming and leaving at the door of the ward. All of them looked at them in astonishment.She broke into a sneer.He was the mighty President Coke, and everyone knew him. He did not need to worry about what others would think of him.But she was afraid the news headlines for the following day would be about how the secretary of President Nikolai seduced him in the ward, intending to be a ho
