"Soon, the Prime Minister's men will call you. Whatever request they made, don't accept. Don't let them know how you really feel," Aston advised Nicole who seemed to be struggling to stay still. His keen gaze noticed the anxiety on her face.
"What are you saying?" Alex Jo uttered. "Do you plan to let the Minister die?"
"Alex," Nicole muttered which made the man raised a brow. It had been years since she addressed him that way!
"We know what we're doing. Trust us," Nicole added in a low voice.
"But -"
"My stepmother won't suffer in their hands. I will never allow that," Nicole snapped and Alex Jo fell silent. However, his amazement was still evident on his face.
"I will go and meet with Chairman Jun," Aston said and turned to Nicole. "Wait here and I'll be back soon."
