Twisted Love's

Episode 25's

"Nolan!?"

He followed me right from the party ?!

"You really rushed right back, Nolan. All right, I'm going to dodge now, so stop looking at me with that nasty look." Miguel stood up, patting Nolan on the shoulder as he left.

Nolan watched in silence as Miguel walked away before turning his attention towards me.

I don't even know how I can deal with it anymore ...

The courtyard felt so quiet that the sound of my heartbeat sounded deafening. Nolan stepped closer without saying a word, and reached out to my head. My body trembled as his fingers touched my ears.

"You forgot this." I reached out to feel his new addition in my ear. It was a flower that I thought was gone ...

"You should be a little more careful with your gifts." He looked at me, seemingly unperturbed by his recent mistakes.

"What's wrong?" He looked so indifferent, I could only voice my frustration.

"Did you have nothing to say? But what's the point ... Your actions and words are never the same."

I just ... I just want to know which one I can trust ...

"If you think you can always treat me like this, I don't want any more relationship with you." I spoke firmly, facing it with defiant eyes.

I'm not gonna let him act on me anymore. After all, he was the one who taught me to defend myself.

We stared at each other in silence for a while.

"I'm sorry" It was rare, a sincere expression was seen on her face, she finally apologized to me.

"actually, the first time I met you, it was a chaotic time in my life. I thought you were just like all the other women who were chasing me just because of my name."

"But now I'm more aware of it. Do you remember when I said you were beautiful tonight ...?"

He clasped his fingers on my jaw, forcing me to look straight into his eyes. His handsome face slowly approached.

"... this time, I'm telling the truth." My heart was pounding as her passionate eyes pulled at me.

"You know, I'm not very good at expressing my feelings." Nolan whispered in my ear .. and next, a soft sensation tickled my neck.

Was that his lips? The feeling was left on my skin, he pulled away leaving my heart pounding.

Nolan stood up quietly, exiting the courtyard speechless again. I was left alone, my trembling hand pressed down where he kissed my neck.

A**me can even still feel the sensation ... Her soft hair and wet lips ...But he's really unfair ... He still hasn't told me his true feelings.

After that, it took a long time before my heart could calm down again.

One morning a few days after the party ...

"Good morning." As I greeted him, Timo swirled around in his chair to get to me, he held a newspaper in his hand.

"Look at this."

"I really don't want to read right now ..." However, I still obeyed him and glanced at the article Timo had pointed out.

"seen? Didn't I tell you?" Timo said proudly and laughed cackled.

Nolan agreed to defend the pharmaceutical company in court? I think he really took the job ... How could he live his life knowing that they might be guilty** ...?

"He couldn't miss the chance to gain fame. He was as cruel as his father. But his father can't even handle it, so it'll be interesting to see how he cleans this one." Timo immediately stood ready to leave, apparently he was only interested in showing off that his prediction was correct. However, only about half of what he said reached my ears.

"O-okay..." I responded too late and walked daydreamingly towards the meeting room.

This incident was a bit disturbing to me, but only Nolan knew what could make him happy. Miguel said that too.

Work, Work! I have to focus on work so I won't slow down everyone around me. I need to forget about Nolan and focus!

The development of the Kaleido Leopard is fantastic today! I wonder if it's because of the water ...

We bring water from their habitat, but who would have thought it helped thrive. If they can recover a little more, I'm sure they will start reproducing in no time!

I was immersed in my work, trying to distract myself with ideas for improving the area of the Kaleido leopard.

When I returned at Lilac Court, Lucas with his bushy tail ran to greet me.

"Hey, Lucas! We haven't been playing together much lately, have we? When my work is done, I promise I'll make it up to you!" While I stroked his hairy head, I saw a light seeping from the lounge.

I wonder if there's anyone in there?

When I stuck my head out for a peek, I almost hit Miguel as he turned the corner.

"Julia? Just home? "

"Yes. I just got back."

"Have you heard of Nolan?" He asked, looking at me curiously.

Might Miguel's intention be about Nolan's decision to represent the pharmaceutical company.

"Yes. I heard it from someone at work."

"You talking about it? I'll pour us some coffee." He suggested, his eyes staring at the counter.

Besides a**I have nothing else to do but sleep tonight.

"All right, I want a glass." I followed him and stepped into the waiting room.

Behind the counter, Miguel prepared a few cups and turned on the coffee maker. When the machine rumbled loudly, a sweet fragrance filled the air. I sat down and after a while, Miguel put two glasses in front of me and sat down.

"Thank you." After taking a slight sip, Miguel turned to me with a stern expression.

"Julia, I'm asking you not to tell anyone that you heard this, Nolan's father was bribed by the pharmaceutical company."

"Bribbed ?! To do what?" Surprised and shocked by the news, my eyes opened wide.

"They couldn't wait for Nolan's decision, so they paid his father to persuade him. Basically, he had already sold his son. I know he's evil, but this is too much." Miguel explained.

So that's why his father was so persistent in persuading him at the party that time...

"How do you know all this?" My toot.

"I heard it from Nolan. We've talked about it before he accepted their offer."

I wondered how Nolan felt, knowing his father was working against him ...

“He knew about it before he received it? Then why does he keep doing it? "

"I can't tell you. He never explained to me why."

If Nolan hadn't told Miguel, then there was no way he would have told me ...

Besides, I don't even know how to approach her about it.
