The Contract Lover (Nina Morrison and Lucien Gray)
Chapter 122 Won'T Haunt You

"All right." Troy nods and smiles.

The hall is filled with people waiting for the movie to begin. Troy casually scans the hall, and suddenly he is attracted by a thin figure in the corner.

The drooping head, dark hair slightly covers half a face. That familiar figure is so like a certain person.

Troy's heart suddenly throbs. Unable to contain the excitement of his heart, he runs quickly toward the slender figure.

"Troy, what are you doing?" Abby sees Troy suddenly running over there, and she runs along with him.

As he suns closer and closer to the corner, his heart jumps more and more urgent, finally he stops in a few steps away from her.

He is right. The girl sitting at the corner is Nina.

A thousand words pour into his heart, but he could not say a word. Troy wants to speak, but he feels his throat is blocked up.

Abby follows up, and in a glance she recognizes Nina, who is still buried in the mobile phone. Envy creeps up on her like a poisonous snake, and her charming face is slightly distorted.

Troy stands quietly in front of Nina and dares not to speak. He is afraid that when he opens his mouth, Nina will disappear and he will have to wait a few more years to meet her again.

Seems to feel the eye sights of Troy, Nina suddenly raises her head.

Her eye sights run into Troy.

Senior Troy...

In Nina's eyes, there is full of shock, and... light embarrassment.

"Nina! Where have you been? I called your sister and she said you were killed in a car accident." Troy still feels as if he is dreaming and could not believe that he could meet Nina again. "Oh? I did not have a car accident. I...I went to live in America for few months." Nina's eyes scans pass Abby beside Troy, says lightly.

Troy's gentle face is with a bit of eagerness, "Nina, how are you in America?"

"What is the matter with you, Troy? You care too much, don't you?" Abby's voice sounds shrill. The words were said to Troy, but her angry eyes were fixed on Nina.

Not wanting to get involved in the dispute between Troy and Abby, Nina stands up and smiles at Troy, "My friend is coming, excuse me."

She also nods politely to Abby and is about to go inside.

"Nina Morrison, I warn you! Stay away from my fiance! Stop being such a bitch!" says Abby.

"Abby, you are way out of line! Do you know what you are talking about? Apologize to Nina!" Troy, who has always been gentle, says in a cold and shrill voice.

Troy never said such heavy words to Abby. She is losing face, but in her heart she hates Nina more! With her mouth clenched and her eyes fixed on Troy, she says, "Troy, do you want me to apologize to this woman?"

"Yes. Nina is my friend. You can not talk to her like that!" Troy's face looks terrible.

Abby is tremble with anger, and tears have come out from her eyes, "Troy, I give birth to a child for you and have been with you all the days. Which part of me is not as this woman? You, you are yelling at me for this woman!"

Troy sighs. When it comes to his son, his heart softens a bit. His eyes no longer look at Abby, but turn to Nina and he says, "Nina, Abby is wrong. I apologize for her rude."

I apologize for her rude.

Nina's heart is hurt by Troy's words.

He apologized for her? On which position? Abby is his son's mother, his own people, his family, so he has a position to apologize for her. Right?

She is a stranger to Troy. She has no chance to go in his life anymore.

Holding back the sadness in her heart, Nina smiles slightly at Troy and says, "It's all right. Do not mind."

Nina turns around and walks toward the door. She is afraid that her tears would come out one second later. All of her strong disguises will collapse and her vulnerability will be completely exposed to the sun. Nina suddenly loses the mood to see a movie. She calls Sunny, "Sunny, where have you been? I suddenly don't want to see the movie. I am going back. See for yourself."

"I just got to the cinema. Where are you?" As soon as the she speaks, Sunny sees Nina in the crowd.

"Nina, why don't you want to see a movie?"

"I'm ok. I am not in a good mood." Nina says with a slight frown.

"Then let's go to have a big meal! There is a nice new Japanese restaurant in the city center. Let me buy you a dinner. To celebrate resigned today."

"All right." Looking at cheerful look of good friend, Nina does not have the heart to refuse.

The new Japanese restaurant looks really good. The outside decoration is very elegant, and there are two stone fish tanks in the doorway, in which has water lily and goldfish, which have a lot of atmosphere. Seeing Nina and Sunny come in, the usher at the door is sorry to say, "Ladies, there is no vacant seat now, would you please wait inside the private room?"

"It's ok." It's ok to wait a minute. They are not very hungry anyway.

The two girls follow the usher into the more elegantly furnished little room.

Walking ahead, Sunny suddenly stops, nervously turns around and says to Nina, "Nina, Lucien Grey!"

"What?" Nina wonders why Sunny suddenly mentioned Lucien.

"Lucien is in there!" Sunny speaks more loudly. Two men inside hear Sunny's voice and raise their heads at the same time.

Hearing Sunny's words clearly, Nina just wants to pull Sunny and leaves, but it is too late.

Lucien's deep eyes have been fixed on her. Nina shivers.

"Miss Sunny, what a coincidence." Peter Johnson sees Sunny and his eyes is brightened, "Do you come to wait for a seat? Why not let's have dinner together on a same table." Sunny looks at Nina's pale face and Lucien's angry face, then she says to Peter Johnson in stumped, "Thank you for your kindness. We'll go to another restaurant. Bye."

"Stop!" Lucien's cold words nail the feet of Nina and Sunny.

After a brief pause, Nina pulls up Sunny and wants to leave.

"Nina Morrison, if you dare to leave, Sunny will not replace any work in C city." Lucien threatens them coldly.

Nina shivers all over. This man can do nothing but threatening? He used to use her father to threaten her, now uses Sunny.

Why everyone she cares about, would become his tools to threaten her?

Lucien, how far are you going to push me?

Nina stops walking, with her back to Lucien, and her slender figure frozen for his words.

"Nina, move! I don't believe I can't replace a job if I walk out the door today." Sunny is not afraid of Lucien's threat! She does not believe that he can shut out the heavens with one palm.

But Nina dares not to be so optimistic. No one knows better than her about Lucien's power. His influence in C city is far beyond Sunny's imagination. She can not risk her best friend. "Sunny, I am hungry. Let's eat right here." Nina looks up at Sunny, with begging in her eyes.

Looking at Nina's expression, Sunny has to nod. They sit down at the table reluctantly, just face with Lucien and Peter Johnson.

"Nina, don't be so nervous. Lucien will not eat you." Peter Johnson looks at the appearance of Nina, and he is a bit unhappy in his heart. Lucien is so handsome and so rich, and his ability to manage the company is first-class. It should be a good fortune for Nina that Lucien loves her. However, she is reluctant. Peter Johnson feels pity for Lucien!

Lucien sits with his arms folded and says nothing.

He had no mood at all when he was playing golf with Peter Johnson in the morning. All he thought about was Nina. He wanted to see Nina, only wanted to see Nina, and other things are not attracted to his attention.

Just now at that moment when Nina appeared, his heart suddenly jumped very quickly. His empty heart was instantly filled.

But Nina's expression like a basin of cold water, poured down from his head, let him suddenly get cold through the heart.

Nina manages a smile to Peter Johnson, does not speak.

Four people are silent and embarrassed.

"Nina, you really don't need to be so nervous. Lucien has decided to let go, and he will not haunt you anymore." Peter Johnson says tentatively. He would like to see Nina's response, see if Nina has feelings to Lucien, even just a piece, Lucien will be a lot better.

Only Peter Johnson knows how bitter Lucien's heart is. The president Grey, who is cold, tyrannical, decisive, and making people shiver easily, even is trapped by love. Peter Johnson really admires Nina deeply.

Hearing Peter Johnson's words, Nina is shocked. Looking up at Peter Johnson with disbelief, she asks in a trembled voice with excitement, "Are you...are you telling the truth?"

Nina is surprised, obviously.

Lucien's last hope is dashed. Originally, Peter Johnson is right. The onlooker is indeed the most sober. Nina had no feeling to him at all! Otherwise, she would never have such an expression.

Her expression is so excited, so excited, as if a man thirsty for a long time then suddenly see a sweet spring.

It turns out that being with him makes her so miserable. It turns out that she really doesn't love him at all, even, never loved him...

Lucien's hands under the table are tightly clenched into fists. His deep eyes are darker as the darkest night.

Peter Johnson shrugs and says, "It is true. You can ask Lucien if you don't believe me."

Nina turns her head and looks at Lucien. However, this glance let her heart throb violently.

In Lucien's eyes, she sees something, which, can only be described in one word -- despaired.

Nina has seen a lot of expression in Lucien's eyes, such as cold, bossy, bossy, childish, obsessed... However, she has never seen despair in his eyes.

Will letting her go make Lucien so miserable? She always thinks she is just a pet of Lucien. Is she really wrong? Does Lucien really love her? Something hits her heart hard. There is something slowly emerging from the bottom of her heart...☐☐☐☐☐☐
