Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0134

I didn't go straight to Nicholas, but instead called Yasmine to meet me. By the time we arrived at Nicholas' office, it was already late

afternoon.

As we pushed open the office door, the first thing that came into view was him reclining in his executive chair 1 his eyes closed, resting.

He was bathed in the soft orange glow of the setting sun, and his white shirt made him look unusually gentle. His chin was slightly raised, and his once sharp profile was now softened.

The dark brown hickey on his long, sturdy neck was particularly noticeable against the sunset's light, clearly showing the effort I had put in last night.

It was a rare, serene image of a handsome man, but Yasmine was not accustomed to such sights. As soon as she entered, she stumbled and kicked the corner of the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Nicholas opened his eyes, immediately alert. His gaze hardened with a sharp intensity when he saw a stranger, but it softened once he recognized me.

It was as if the tumultuous thoughts in his mind had gradually settled, and he began to regain his composure and calm.

Frowning, he looked at Yasmine in displeasure with the kind of innate pressure that even I could feel from beside her.
