Chapter 153 - Can You Be My Woman?

Ch-152

"Why did you leave the house?" Nicholas asked. 

"My father wanted me to take over our business. But I don't want to take it over. Because I have enough with the names of scrap sellers, scrap pickers, and so on. I want to go on with the things I like," Michelle said. 

It's not a daily thing for these two people to have a silent conversation. 

"The antique business is a rare kind. It blooms based on the connections. You are selling whatever the scarp things they were calling for millions, billions, or trillions of money. A scrap cannot make money as they said. Even if a business has to earn a few millions, it needs to work hard for months. But in antiques, you can just make a few million or billions by selling a single item.

"As for the scrap things, every item you sell has a story. They speak stories and tell you stories. With their company, one can be happy. Those scrap things would bring them luck, business, and happiness. Their hearts are scarp. And the worst-case scenario is, whatever you or your family does was not their concern. You are doing your business but not hurting anyone. As long as you do your work without hurting anyone then no one has the right to point their fingers at you." he said seriously.

If Michelle has to say honestly, she never thought of things like this. This is something or someone saying that her business was none of their business but that business was something good. A small smile formed on her face as she stared at him. Feeling her burning gaze, Nicholas turned his head to her side only to meet her eyes. Michelle felt embarrassed when she was caught staring at him. With an awkward cough, she turned her head away. 

"Take rest, I will come to pick you up at 6.p.m.," he said. 

"But it starts at 6.p.m.," Michelle said. 

"So what? You can reach there in twenty minutes. You can always use traffic jams or work as an excuse," Nicholas said. 

"These are old excuses! They will easily know it," she said. 

"Then…. I have a way…" Nicholas said. His gaze was burning her soul. Nicholas's eyes directly stared into her. Michelle felt like she was going to get sucked into his dark black eyes. His eyes looked like a black hole that sucked her soul making her feel like she was going to be eaten by him. Nicholas inched closer to her, his hot breath fanned her fair face, goosebumps raised all over her body. She held her breath as he inched her closer. She felt heat pass all over her body, she could smell the smell of mint that was coming from his body mixed with his sweaty masculine scent made her feel overwhelmed. Michelle felt that she would die if she couldn't take a breath but the intimacy with him made her feel restless. Her heart hammered against her ribcage, she could hear her heartbeat. She wondered if Nicholas could hear it too. But her worries and everything was interrupted by his words. 

"Since you are taking me there as your boyfriend, you can tell them that you spent time with me doing sex," he whispered in her ears fanning his hot breath. 

"And I am a straight man," he said as he kissed her earlobe. Blood rushed to her face when she heard his words, her face turned beet red with all the blood rushed to her face. 

Michelle was stumped at his words. She doesn't know what to do. Her heart stopped beating, she completely forgot to breathe as her brown eyes widened in shock while her pale face turned red showing that she was affected by his words. 

[Michelle, don't fall for his temptation. You vowed to have sex with your boyfriend only. And you would marry him. Who knows if this guy is that kind? I can't fall for him! Wake up!]  she reminded herself. 

She pushed him away and said, "You need to leave. And thanks for helping me today and advance thanks for the evening thing," 

Michelle bit her lips hard after saying these things. [In fact, I like him. But after my first crush and Esther's thing, I am scared to believe a man. Maybe I should not let him know my feelings for him and shouldn't let him know that his presence affects me. I was surprised to make things that would increase the distance between Esther and Arthur before. I thought he liked her. If not, what are his feelings for Esther? If I confess to him, will he laugh at me? Well… Michelle forgets it. There are a lot of beautiful women out. Maybe it's just a moment of lust on me. He doesn't like you, Michelle! It's lust!] she convinced herself with her thoughts. 

An uncountable number of veins popped out of Nicholas's head as he stared at her with his wide eyes. She still doesn't trust him. They worked for two years but she only knew how to tease him. He fought with her like a cat, because he liked her. Something in his brain said that she was his only one. But he doesn't know how to show her emotions. He wanted to let her know her feelings towards her. 

"Michelle, I like you. Can you give me the chance to be with you?" he asked as he looked into her beautiful face. 

Michelle, who was submerged in her inner thoughts, felt shocked. She felt like she was dreaming. 

[I am not dreaming, right? I think I need someone to pinch.] Michelle's thoughts started again. 

Nicholas couldn't take it anymore and pulled her into his lap making her look into his deep hollow-like black eyes. 

"I liked you for the past two years. And I am still liking you. I don't know how to say sweet things or express myself. But I like you.. Be my woman, Please," he asked as he looked into her eyes sincerely.
