Chapter 31 Mr.Andrews doesn’t look like such a deep lover
Mrs. Andrews?
Natalia was a little surprised that Victoria even knew about Nick being married.
Not many people in high society knew about it and those who did knew, had a scornful attitude towards Nick’s nominal wife.
Who didn’t know that her Family was just average and not qualified to climb up the Andrews Family.
“Just the woman who hasn’t even shown her face?” Natalia scowled, “You probably don’t know that she hasn’t even been to the Andrews Family’s annual dinner all these years. None of the family members have acknowledged her existence, she’s not even Mrs. Andrews.”
Many had even wondered if she was too ugly to be seen at all.
She was telling the truth though. Victoria was transparent as can be from the Andrews Family. She only found a little sense of existence with Edward Andrews.
Victoria didn’t get angry after hearing that, she only said, “Whether Mrs. Andrews has attended the annual dinner or not, it is a fact that she and Nick are married. As long as that marriage licence is there, any other woman who tries to get Nick’s attention should be morally condemned, shouldn’t they?”
Natalia realised that she couldn’t win this argument, if she said any more her cousin would become, as she said, a mistress.
Her face reddened with anger and she sneered, “Aren’t you the same? Don’t think Nick will like you just because you have a few good looks, he liked my cousin for ten years!”
“Mr. Andrews doesn’t seem like such a deep person to me.”
As soon as the words had been spoken, a man’s indifferent and cold voice came from the doorway, “So, what kind of person am I supposed to be?”
Victoria was instantly petrified. Didn’t he go to a meeting?
Nick stood there unfazed. Natalia had left the door open when she came in, and he heard their conversation clearly.
Victoria looked slightly distorted after realizing that.
Natalia’s face was full of ecstasy as she walked over to Nick with a cold grunt, “Cousin-in-law, aren’t you going to a meeting?”
Nick gave her a faint look and spoke softly, his voice like a stream containing snow,
“Poppy’s right! I’m married after all, so you’d better change my title in the future in case your cousin is misunderstood by the others.”
Natalia lowered her head reluctantly and muttered, “Mmmm, I know.”
Nick gave Victoria a deep look as he put on a wristwatch that was on a side shelf, and turned to leave.
Victoria stood still, regretting agitating Natalia, which now seemed to have offended her client.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
She sighed as she picked up the bag which she left on the floor. She went to the far end of the room to change and before grabbing her keys, and headed straight to Serene Haven Estates.
She took a moment and looked around Serene Haven Estates, examining the surroundings before driving away.
Serene Haven Estates’ floor plan, along with the rest of the surrounding landscaping, was already in her head, but for now she hadn’t even inquired about a hint of the owner’s hobbies.
Nick was so elusive, she really didn’t know what his hobbies were.
As she passed the mall, Victoria remembered that it was Linda’s birthday. She pulled over, intending to pick out a gift for her.
Little did she realize that she had just walked to the diamond necklace section when she saw Gabriel.
Gabriel was accompanied by a pretty girl, and the two appeared to be in a heated argument, and the girl slapped Gabriel hard.
Victoria froze in her tracks as she somewhat regretted stepping in at this point.
No wonder there weren’t many people around, the area was supposed to be cleared out. It was just Victoria’s mistake that she ran into such an embarrassing thing.
“Scum!” The girl cursed and ran away crying with her bag.
Victoria felt her teeth sink in and was about to quietly duck away as if she hadn’t seen anything when Gabriel called out to her, “Poppy! Didn’t think I’d run into you here. You came here to shop?”
Victoria had to stop and she greeted awkwardly, “Mr. Mercer!”
The man’s handsome young face was topped with the mark of that slap. But he didn’t seem to care at all. He had the look of a prodigal son, “I heard you took my cousin’s order, congratulations.”
“It’s all Mr. Mercer’s doing, thanks for the recommendation.”
Gabriel rubbed his head, “Hey! Don’t mention it, it’s only my small contribution.”
“What is small to Mr. Mercer is a timely help for me. And I should have invited you to dinner.”
“There is no need for dinner but if you really want to help me, you have an opportunity now.”
“What?” Victoria had a look of surprise on her face when she saw Gabriel sigh with a distressed expression.
“As you can see, I’ve been dumped by my girlfriend, and now I’m going to hire you to be my girlfriend to meet someone, and since you don’t know each other anyway, just act like you’re my girlfriend. It’ll be quick, and it’ll take you half an hour at most.”
That being said, Victoria couldn’t really say no.
After all, it was really thanks to Gabriel that she was able to take Nick’s order, and so it may be considered a return favor.
She nodded, “Sure.”
Seeing that she agreed, Gabriel grabbed the necklace aside ostentatiously and handed it to her, “Here’s the reward.”
Victoria hesitated to back out, but Gabriel waved his hand, “I’ll provide you with a referral list if you help me out with this mess.”
It was harder to resist for Victoria now.
But when she went to the restaurant, she realized that it was his mother that Gabriel had asked her to meet.
Nick’s aunt, Eleanor Mercer!
