"Sorry." Nicole instantly said before turning around, not planning to stay there any longer.
Since the time she had come to know about Victor's past, she had been feeling utmost guilty, and avoiding him as much as she could.
She had already apologized to Victor and Victor had calmly replied that he had forgiven her, but she couldn't help and felt even more guilty.
"Wait." Victor immediately spoke from behind, slightly disturbed by Nicole's recent behaviour.
Nicole stopped in her tracks, before turning around, trying to present a fake smile with utmost sincerity, even when she was terribly failing at the same.
"How can I help you?" Nicole asked, her voice sounding robotic and a little funny.
"Do you have some time?" Victor asked.
"No no. Not at all. I am busy with a tightly packed schedule." Nicole said, only wanting to finish this conversation and not stay for another second in the same room as Victor.
