Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0499

I pressed my hand against Nicholas's shoulder, unable to suppress a sneer. "Mr. Hawk, you really are everywhere, always showing up uninvited like you've mastered the art."

"Where I want to go, no one can stop me."

As he spoke, his gaze traveled from the top of my head to my feet, lingering in a particular spot with a meaningful look. His stare was so blatant that I couldn't help but raise my hand to block his gaze.

I warned him in a low voice, "Move aside! The hall outside is full of people. If they find out the CEO of Hawk Corporation is cornering a woman in the restroom, what will they think?" "You're my ex-wife. What do you think they'll say?"

Nicholas grabbed my hand, holding it tightly in his palm. He thought for a moment before meeting my eyes with a serious expression.

"If I cared that much about what people think, I wouldn't be alive today." He added, "Ariana, you're the last person who should be lecturing me about that!"

The restroom was already cooler than outside, but Nicholas's breath felt like fire against my skin. I turned my head away, trying to put more distance between us.

"If you're looking for trouble, you don't need to show up all the way tonight just for me."

"So you know I came here just for you." He gripped my shoulder, shaking me slightly. "Tell me, why do you think I came?"

It hurts!" I tried to push him, but he didn't budge. "Nicholas, remember, there's nothing between
