Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

Olivia took a sip of the coffee she was holding, her gaze carrying a hint of meaning as she looked at Nicole. Her elegant lips bore a poised, faint smile as she gently spoke: ”Nicole, I called you here today because there’s something I want to say to you. How come you left the hospital without a word last time? I was worried for a long time.”

”Let’s skip the pleasantries.” Nicole’s voice was indifferent, her brows and eyes showing even more detachment and aloofness, ”I just didn’t want you all coming to the hospital and disturbing my recovery, so I left. If you have something to say today, say it directly; no matter how harsh, it’s not like you haven’t said worse before.”

Olivia’s expression changed slightly; she hadn’t expected that Nicole, who always seemed gentle and attentive, would speak so harshly this time they met again!

Olivia’s gaze turned to Nicole, no longer warm, and became somewhat cold, her voice lowering considerably, ”I heard you’re getting engaged soon. Congratulations. Coincidentally, Jose and Andrea are also getting engaged soon. How wonderful, you and Jose are both happy now; this is the best outcome.”

The waiter brought Nicole’s lemon tea over, and Nicole softly thanked him, her voice as calm as a breeze: ”Is that so, then congratulations.”

After speaking, Nicole lowered her eyes and took a sip of the lemon tea. It was so sour it reached her heart and eyes, with a hint of bitterness.

She swore this was the worst lemon tea she’d ever had! She wouldn’t come here again next time.

”Jose recently went on a business trip, and he specially instructed us to give you a gift if you got engaged, wishing you happiness.”

”Well, thank you very much then.”

Such a good ex-boyfriend, a man she shared a bed with for years; pretty generous, right? She’s getting engaged, he wants to give a big gift — the best ex indeed.

Nicole smiled faintly, sipping the lemon tea but finding it more bitter than bitter herbs.

Andrea, seeing Nicole’s calm demeanor, seemingly unaffected, felt a surge of anger. She turned to Nicole with a light smile and softly said, ”Nicole, you were with Brother Jose for years, even though your body may have... Regardless, I think Mr. Cooper genuinely likes you and wouldn’t mind. You shouldn’t take it to heart. You’re a good girl, it’s just that you can’t force feelings. You and Brother Jose are fated without fortune; you can’t force things. I just hope from now on, you and Brother Jose can cut cleanly for the sake of both of you.”

Saying her body—-is dirty?

Nicole stirred the lemon tea with her straw, looking back at Andrea’s smug and sarcastic gaze, and chuckled, ”I haven’t taken it to heart at all, as long as you don’t mind.” Nicole wore a calm smile, ”I followed Jose Floyd when I was seventeen, at eighteen, I had a relationship with him and stayed by his side for several years, being the only and longest woman living with him at the Manor Estate. If I’m dirty, Jose Floyd accompanied me in dirt for years. It’s rare to find a woman as generous as you who doesn’t mind his past relationships in the slightest.”

Isn’t it just stabbing a knife?

Then let’s hurt together.

Even though she didn’t know if she was the first woman Jose Floyd had a relationship with, she’d never cared or asked Jose Floyd this question. But at least in front of his ex, Andrea could only eat humble pie!

When she met Jose Floyd, Andrea knew nothing!

”You!” Andrea’s expression changed as she angrily glared at Nicole, glancing at Olivia’s slightly furrowed brows, quickly regaining composure, her face returning to a gentle and poised smile, ”Who doesn’t have a past? Men, well, they always have a few wildflowers outside, but in the end, I’m confident Brother Jose will return to family and see my worth.”
