Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 34

Nicole gently compressed her lips in a smile. "Didn't they say already? She's a doctor."

Aleena puckered up her lips. "I wonder what her relationship with Eugene is. Could it be that he likes her?"

Nicole shot Aleena a disapproving look. "Do you know why men fall for women of this sort?"

Aleena was nonplussed. "Why?"

Nicole leaned toward her and responded, "It's because she’s high up there, far away from him, playing hard to get. This would intensify every man's desire to possess a woman. Even so, she's actually easy to hook up with as she's open-minded, bold, and is good at reading the room. Everyone that she has her eyes on will probably be in her bag."

Hearing this startled Aleena. "What should we do then?"

A scornful look flashed across Nicole's face before she added blandly, "I feel like you can go and give her a toast. It's as if you're giving Eugene a toast. Even though he didn't comment about what happened earlier, I can't say for sure that he's not bothered. Giving them a toast might help ease the tension between you guys, and it might also show what an understanding person you are."
