34.**Easton's POV**We entered her room and met Steve trying to get her to eat something.“Whatever is going on with you can be solved if you just tell us, but first, you have to eat. Joan said you haven't eaten anything since morning, and it's getting us worried about you.” He compelled her, but she was stubborn.I walked to where they sat, and stood, watching her a bit. She looked expressionless that it was difficult to guess what was going on in her mind right now. Her eyes were fixed in one direction, not moving, and I realized it was the same direction as it was the time I stood by the door watching her.“Steve, Joan,” I called, and they looked at me.Steve sighed in relief. “Thank God you're here, Easton. Please make her eat something. She's been like this for an hour now.” He looked worried.“Leave us,” I said.They bowed and walked out of the room, shutting the door behind them. My eyes went to the tray of food on the bedside table, and I walked to sit on a chair, facing her.

35.**Nicole's POV**After I was done eating, I stepped out of the room and left for Easton's room. I heaved a deep breath as I stood in front of his door. I wanted to thank him for the words he said to me, it actually made me feel better and realize what I should do instead of crying. I was about to place a knock on the door when I heard the doorbell.I alighted the stairs and saw butler Steve heading to the door. He opened it and two good-looking guys came in.I recognized one of them. I think Maven is his name. He was the one who came with Easton to my house for me to sign the contract. The second one… I haven't seen him before.“Easton!!!” The second guy called, and I guessed they must be close for him to have yelled Easton's name like that.“Shh, his wife is here.” Maven told the second guy, and his eyes went in my direction immediately.His smile widened immediately he saw me, and I couldn't help but gap at his dimples. As he approached me, I took in his features and couldn't he

She placed her hand on her chest, as she never imagined he would say something like this. She felt moved.Easton mentally facepalmed.“I didn't mean what I said. It just came out.” He tried to explain, but Edwin wasn't ready to have any of it. He intentionally annoyed Easton but wasn't expecting the dude to just blurt that out.He burst into laughter, pointing at Easton. “So, you do have the intention of marrying her for real?” He couldn't contain his laughter."No, I don't want to!“ Easton snapped, and Edwin stopped.“Are you being serious right now? I mean, dude, you just said it with your mouth. And thank goodness, I wasn't the only one that heard it.” Edwin sneered.“It was a slip of tongue,” He defended himself. He just got annoyed that Edwin kept flirting with Nicole, and she played along. She was his wife, and shouldn't be like that w

37.**Author's POV**2 DAYS LATER…Nicole stood in front of the building of Twilight Magazines with Emily, her heart beating rapidly in her chest. After getting accepted by them, she was asked to come for a talk with the manager today and boy was she nervous.Nervous because she didn't want what happened with Mr. Luther to repeat itself here. She didn't believe in giving her body out to them for them to promote or give her a job — she loved being fair and that's what contributed to her success, before Mr. Stark destroyed it, of course.When she entered, the employees murmured on seeing her. She told them nothing and left for the Manager's office immediately.“Are you nervous?” Emily asked as they took the elevator.“Yeah, but for a different reason.” She pulled a strand of hair behind her ears and sighed.Emily nodded. “I get you, but trust me, Mr. Leo is a nice man.

As much as he's delighted that she finally found something to do, he still can't shake off that feeling of anxiety that crawled up his chest at the thought of her leaving.He sat back down and switched off the television, the mood dying.Butler Steve stood at a far end, watching his expression. He wondered why Easton was so bothered about her leaving.“Gosh! Why do I even care?” He facepalmed.As if on cue, the door opened and Nicole walked in. She had a smile on her face as she approached Easton.“Hey!” She beamed at him. Easton was shocked because this wasn't something she would do, or was she being happy?“I saw on the news that you'd be leaving for Beverly Hills?” He asked to confirm.Nicole's face lit up. “Yes!” She exclaimed. “Twilight Magazines want me to be the cover model for their high-end magazine, can you believe that?” She exclaimed again.

Who the fuck do they think they are to utter such rubbish to me?“You must be insane, Mr. Stark!” I snapped and they gasped.“What did you just tell me?” He asked, his eyes literally drawing daggers at me.“I said you're insane!” I snapped again. “What the hell? I can't believe how shameless you two are. Don't you have any conscience?” I asked.“Oh, please, shut up!” Kayla snarled and I faced her.“No, you shut up! I can't believe you have the heart to sit here and watch him demand such a thing from me. You already took my fiancé and spot in this company, what else are you looking for? Why are you being selfish and mean?” I asked and she scoffed, chuckling a bit.“You're calling me selfish? Are you being for real right now, Nicole?” She sneered. “You're the selfish one.

It made me feel he didn't want this as well. What was Kayla up to actually? Why is she bent on frustrating my life?I sighed and ruffled my hair. I was pissed — really pissed and angry at the whole situation, but it's not his fault, so I controlled myself from taking my anger out on him.“It will be postponed until when?” I asked the most important question right now.He sighed and shook his head. “I have no idea. It's up to Mrs. Sullivan to make that decision. I apologize for any inconvenience that might have caused you.” He apologized and I forced a smile.“It's no problem. Please be in touch.
