Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 672: Hate her

Silence filled the car as neither Nina nor Finn spoke for several minutes. She simply entered the car and didn't say a word. The same went for Finn; he only glanced at her earlier and was now looking through some documents in silence.

"What do you want?" After what felt like an eternity, Nina's meek voice broke the silence. "Were you following me?"

Finn paused but didn't look at her. "If going to your office and asking where you were is following you, then I probably am."

"Hah." A shallow, dry laugh escaped her. "Then why were you looking for me?"

"I wanted to talk."

"We already talked." Nina put on a brave front, watching him slowly face her. "We already talked, Finn. It's done. We're done. It's over... that's what we discussed and decided mutually."

"Mutually?"

"Yes." She nodded. "Mutually."
