Chapter 567

“Likewise,” Nicholas looked me in the eyes and muttered calmly.

His smile became more pronounced.

“If there's nothing else, I shall let you go, Mr. Cadman. I'll personally visit you at your office when it's
time to go through the details.”

Seeing that Nicholas wanted to linger around, I started fretting. Given our past relationship and this
new collaboration, I could not relax at all.

“Anna, since we're done with work, there's no need for us both to be strangers, right? I don't want to be
greeted by your cold expression each time we meet. We can at least be friends despite not being able
to be an item, can't we?”

Nicholas' forehead creased as displeasure flickered in his gaze. He probably disliked how formal I was
to him.

“Nicholas, considering our past relationship, I really don't know how to find a balance when interacting
with you. It wasn't easy for me to work together with you, but I know this is inevitable.”

Previously, Michael misunderstood us, resulting in me having a phobia of getting too close to Nicholas.
Now that my life with Michael was stable and blissful, I would not want to risk it being disturbed again.

I might be paranoid, but all I wanted was just a simple life with a happy ending. Is that too much for a
woman to ask for?



“I understand where you're coming from. Rest assured that I'm not here to step foot into your
relationship with Michael. I just wanted to be your friend. Why can't we have a casual meal as friends?”
he said in a serious tone as he stared at me.

Having heard my reply, a disappointed expression appeared on Nicholas' face. However, he hid it
within seconds.

I wanted to decline, but it seemed almost cruel to reject him. Also, I thought it would reflect that I was a
petty person.

“All right, then. I still have some work to do. Perhaps you could wait for me to get off work, and we'll
have dinner together?”

I struggled internally for a long while before conceding in the end.

Maybe I'm being too petty? He might have long forgotten about what happened between us.
“Likewise,” Nicholas looked me in the eyes and muttered calmly.
“Likawisa,” Nicholas lookad ma in tha ayas and muttarad calmly.

His smila bacama mora pronouncad.

“If thara's nothing alsa, I shall lat you go, Mr. Cadman. I'll parsonally visit you at your offica whan it's
tima to go through tha datails.”

Saaing that Nicholas wantad to lingar around, I startad fratting. Givan our past ralationship and this
naw collaboration, I could not ralax at all.



“Anna, sinca wa'ra dona with work, thara's no naad for us both to ba strangars, right? I don't want to ba
graatad by your cold axprassion aach tima wa maat. Wa can at laast ba friands daspita not baing abla
to ba an itam, can't wa?”

Nicholas' forahaad craasad as displaasura flickarad in his gaza. Ha probably dislikad how formal I was
to him.

“Nicholas, considaring our past ralationship, I raally don't know how to find a balanca whan intaracting
with you. It wasn't aasy for ma to work togathar with you, but I know this is inavitabla.”

Praviously, Michaal misundarstood us, rasulting in ma having a phobia of gatting too closa to Nicholas.
Now that my lifa with Michaal was stabla and blissful, I would not want to risk it baing disturbad again.

I might ba paranoid, but all I wantad was just a simpla lifa with a happy anding. Is that too much for a
woman to ask for?

“I undarstand whara you'ra coming from. Rast assurad that I'm not hara to stap foot into your
ralationship with Michaal. I just wantad to ba your friand. Why can't wa hava a casual maal as friands?”
ha said in a sarious tona as ha starad at ma.

Having haard my raply, a disappointad axprassion appaarad on Nicholas' faca. Howavar, ha hid it
within saconds.

I wantad to daclina, but it saamad almost crual to rajact him. Also, I thought it would raflact that I was a
patty parson.

“All right, than. I still hava soma work to do. Parhaps you could wait for ma to gat off work, and wa'll



hava dinnar togathar?”

I strugglad intarnally for a long whila bafora concading in tha and.

Mayba I'm baing too patty? Ha might hava long forgottan about what happanad batwaan us.

“Sure, I'll be waiting for you.”

There was a twinkle in his eyes when I said yes. Next, he rose to his feet and walked out of my office.

After his departure, I breathed a long sigh. I cringed at the idea of having a meal with him.

He picked a restaurant which served Chanaean cuisine. When I arrived, Nicholas was already there
waiting for me. He picked a table in the middle, making me wonder if he did it intentionally.

“Anna!” he called me as soon as I entered the restaurant.

I walked toward him and sat right across from him.

“I'm sorry for being late. I was really swamped with work,” I explained.

“It's okay, as long as you're here now.”

He was not bothered about my tardiness. On the contrary, his gazes were as gentle as ever when he
pinned them on me.

I could not be at ease around him. Besides Michael, I never liked any other men to look at me in that



affectionate manner.

I looked away to avert his gaze.

A long silence ensured.

After what felt like an eternity, he broke the silence. “Anna, how have you been? We haven't seen each
other since forever. Is he treating you well now that you are with him?”

“I'm doing quite well, and we're very happy together.”

I would always say good things about Michael and I to the outsiders. Moreover, this was the truth.
Though we had our fair share of worries, there was nothing that I could complain about Michael.

“Is that so? I heard that his ex-girlfriend is back. Is it true?”

I thought that he would move on from the topic upon hearing my reply. Lo and behold, he was still
dwelling on it. That made me frantic with anxiousness.

I lifted my head and gazed at him in astonishment. I was extremely taken aback that he knew about
Leanne.

It took a moment for me to put up a relaxed front and asked composedly, “How... How did you learn
about this incident?”

“I've always been following updates that concern you despite us not meeting for a while. This is



because I was afraid that you would lead an unhappy life after you have gone back to him.”

His expression instantly turned solemn.

I looked away in panic, unable to maintain eye contact with him.

Even though he said that he wanted to be just friends, my gut feeling told me otherwise. If I'm merely a
friend to him, why would he pay special attention to me?

“Thanks for your concern. Leanne's case was unexpected. Her presence will never pose a threat to our
marriage. I believe that Michael would sort this out in no time.”

I had no idea that Nicholas would bring this up. What is he trying to do? Anyhow, I strongly believe that
nothing will ever come between Michael and I.

“You seem to trust him unconditionally. I know I shouldn't make any passing comments about your
relationship, but I need to remind you that Leanne is definitely up to something. I'm not sure if your
marriage can withstand her attack and last forever.”

Nicholas looked at me without any facial expression, and he shared his thoughts in a complex tone.

“What do you mean when you said Leanne is up to something? What have you discovered?”

I somewhat felt that there was a hidden message in Nicholas' speech. Having ants in my pants, I was
so eager to find out more.

“That's all I could say as your friend. If I were to say more, you might think that I'm up to no good.”



Initially, I thought that he would reveal more to me. Unfortunately, he gazed at me and said no more
after a brief moment of silence.

I frowned at his response. I felt so anxious and insecure about not getting the answers to my questions.
Panic-stricken, I had a bad feeling about this.

Recently, there was no news about Leanne. She did not even show up in front of us. However, I still felt
apprehensive about her presence. I had a hunch that this episode was not over yet.

Who knows if there's a time bomb waiting for us?
