Chapter 633 Foiled Attempts
Sadly, some things just couldn’t be helped.
Nicholas already had someone he liked, so Janet’s feelings were destined to be unrequited.
Janet didn’t know what Sally was thinking.
When she heard Sally’s words, her smile froze on her face.
She quickly recovered herself and assumed a natural expression as she smiled lightly. “I thought Nicholas would be here. Guess not.”
Sally pretended not to notice the awkwardness in the air; she simply nodded and kept quiet.
Janet could hardly maintain the smile on her face when she saw that.
What’s wrong with this servant? Doesn’t she know how to continue the conversation?
In truth, she said those words on purpose so that Sally would expose Nicholas’ address.
However, she didn’t expect this servant to be so useless.
Even though she was angry, this servant was still helpful, so she suppressed her anger and asked, “Since Nicholas doesn’t live here, where does he live, then?”
“He lives somewhere not far away. You can see it from here.” As Sally spoke, she pointed in a direction.
Stunned, Janet looked in the direction Sally was pointing. She saw a manor not far off, more luxurious and grander than the one she was staying in.
She instantly felt upset when expectations and reality didn’t line up as she wished.
Initially, she thought she could develop her relationship with Nicholas by staying with him 24/7.
She never expected reality to hit her like this.
Was the man ignoring her… or was someone living with him already?
At that thought, she casually said, “I’m just one person, but Nicholas arranged an entire manor for me to stay in. It must’ve cost too much. But, on the other hand, that house looks quite huge, so he could’ve just given me a room there.”
“Um, Master Nicholas has many houses like this all over Southend.”
What Sally meant was that Nicholas didn’t buy this manor, especially to meet Janet’s needs.
Janet understood that, of course. Her gaze darkened, an unnamed fire burning bright in her chest.
Is this servant reminding me that I’m getting self-indulgent?
She took a deep breath and repeated to herself, ‘Don’t get angry. This servant is still useful.’
Just like that, she gradually calmed her anger. “I see. Does someone else live there?”
“Not really, just Master Nicholas and Young Master Gregory. Master Nicholas liked peace and quiet, so he didn’t like anyone bothering him. Only… Miss Reinhart had stayed there for a while, but she had moved there for her job as a private tutor.”
When Janet heard that Tessa had stayed in that grand manor, jealousy filled her soured heart.
Nicholas and I have been through so much, but I don’t even get the right to walk into his house?!
Also, that Tessa woman.
How is she better than me?
What right does she have to be liked by Nicholas? Why can she step into Nicholas’ private territory?
At that moment, Janet decided that since he wanted to keep her at a distance, she would get into his territory and claim him!
At Sawyer Group, Nicholas was wearing a black suit as he sat in his office. His perfect facial features were expressionless, as usual.
Just then, Edward knocked on the door and walked in.
“President Sawyer, the matters concerning Miss Brenner have all been settled.”
“Good, have the servants there take good care of her,” Nicholas said indifferently, without any intention to ask about Janet herself.
If Cole hadn’t pleaded with him, he wouldn’t have done anything about Janet.
Besides, Nicholas had done what he could to take care of Janet, so he had already done his best, and he could say that he had undoubtedly fulfilled Cole’s request.
Edward nodded in confirmation when he heard that, then changed the subject to work-related matters.
After Nicholas settled the matters Edward reported, he changed the topic and asked, “Tessa will be performing at the end of this month, and I’ve asked you to spare some of my time around that time. How is the arrangement going?”
“The arrangements are all completed. So, you don’t have to worry.” Edward smiled as he replied. In his heart, however, he was amazed at how huge a change Nicholas had gone through after getting together with Tessa.
