Chapter 611
If somebody else were using such good personnel to do something that any regular bodyguard could do, she would have definitely berated that person. However, if that person were Nicholas. she would only approve of his decision.
“You’ve made quite a few enemies over the years, so you indeed need to make proper arrangements to protect them. Should I get two more guards for you?”
“No, thanks. Just two guards by my fiancée’s side are enough.”
As soon as the words left his lips, Janet froze, and she gawked at him in shock. “You… already have a fiancée? When did this happen?”
He furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing her prodding inquiry and said calmly, “Not long
ago.”
Clearly, he didn’t want to speak about Tessa with her, and she could hear it in his voice, which made her very uncomfortable.
Nevertheless, she composed herself very quickly as she smirked and chuckled lightly. “I don’t mean anything else. I’m just a little curious.”

Nicholas nodded, and Janet decided to catch up with him after seeing that.
“How have you been recently?”
“Not bad.”
Then, they spoke awkwardly for a little bit, but Nicholas didn’t want to waste more time. “Since everything is fine, you should just go back. The higher-ups won’t allow you to leave your mission by yourself,” he said pragmatically.
Toward Janet, he had always maintained the courtesy required of a friendship and the distance between a man and a woman.
Janet was his partner when he was in the military, and he didn’t contact her anymore after he retired from the army and returned to his family. Despite his surprise at her sudden appearance, he was rather patient with her because of their friendship as former partners.
Toward the end, he added, “Regarding the Night Alliance, there’s nothing for you to worry about.”
Janet found the matter somewhat difficult to swallow while she looked at the man’s emotionless face. The whole while, she felt that she had a special place next to Nicholas because she always thought that no one in this world was more intimate with him than herself.
Their past experiences were something nobody else could imagine, especially their rapport. With just one look, she could read what was on his mind.
Not to mention that whether it was background or even appearance-wise, they were a natural match for each other.
In other words, there couldn’t be another couple more fitting for each other than them.
Back then, when Nicholas left the military, she kept thinking that she would marry him one day in the future. However, she never thought that he would have a fiancée now!
At this thought, Janet clenched her fists at her sides for a second and released them again.
She decided to make another attempt as she smiled coyly and said, “The mission is not in a rush, but I rarely make a visit. Aren’t you going to play the part of a good host?”
“I’m still busy with work.” Nicholas turned her down straight away. “Furthermore, I don’t want my fiancée to get the wrong idea.”
When she caught a glimpse of the gentleness that flashed across his face when he mentioned his fiancée, she felt a stab through her heart.
