My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 152

Nicole sat down opposite Mr. Ellison. She did not pick up the cutlery but looked at him and asked, "What can I do for you?"

She sounded very casual as if she were just talking to an ordinary person. If outsiders were to see Nicole's attitude toward Ellison, they would have been shocked with their mouths agape.

Most people in San Joto knew Mr. Ellison's influence in politics and academia, in which he was almost a figurehead personality. Everyone respected him.

But Ellison did not show displeasure despite Nicole's attitude. He smiled and said, "I just want to invite you for a meal. Harvey will be a bit late, as he was still outside."

Mr. Ellison, whose full name was Thomas Ellison, was not such a nonsense person. Nicole frowned and was a bit impatient. "Tell me what it is about, or I will leave."

Mr. Ellison heard she was leaving and hurriedly said," I saw the video of Harvey and you on the Internet. I can tell that he is fond of you, and he has asked you to be his girlfriend. Is that true?"

Nicole had already guessed what Mr. Ellison was going to say when she saw the three sets of tableware on the table. After her suspicion was confirmed, she

was calm. Looking at a table full of her favorite food, she knew Mr. Ellison had always been treating her well.

She looked down as if thinking about something before saying slowly, "It is true, but Harvey didn't say that because he liked me, did he?"

Not because Harvey liked her, but because Mr. Ellison wanted him to like her. When Nicole looked up again, her upturned eyes appeared clear and stern, and she exuded an extremely assertive persona.

"I don't like Harvey."

Mr. Ellison looked into her lustrous eyes and suddenly lost his words.

The person's hand froze in mid-air just as he was about to knock on the door outside as if he was afraid that he would not be able to hear it clearly if he made a sound. He looked at the wrinkled corner of his clothes, lowered his hand, and tried to smoothen the wrinkled fabric. He did it with so much force that it seemed he was about to tear it.

Meanwhile, Nicole continued, "Harvey probably doesn't have any feelings for me either, so don't waste your time." She then stood up and said, "I don't think I can have dinner with you this time. I still need to see someone and have to take care of a few things."

Nicole said goodbye to Mr. Ellison and walked toward the door. The moment she pulled open the door, Harvey panickily took his hand off the corner of his shirt. He did not look up, and his eyelashes trembled. Nicole was not surprised to see him, and she just went straight outside. Only then did Harvey look up at her as she left. She was walking with her back straight as if it were a sword that would never bend. Harvey suddenly reached out to grab her, but Nicole had learned her lesson and dodged in a flash as if her back had grown a pair of eyes. She looked back at Harvey with displeasure.
