She Is A CEO

Chapter 1069 Double Duet

"I got it, thank you," Nia politely replied before she could push the door open. But then Stoffer spoke again.

"I was ordered by the young master to stay here, so if anything happened, I should inform you."

"What happened?" Nia repeated Stoffer's words with confusion.

"Tonight when you were not here, Casper came over," Stoffer said expressionlessly.

"What?!" Although Stoffer seemed calm, Nia couldn't keep her composure upon hearing Casper's name. She was startled and quickly asked, "Casper came?! Did they do anything to Kevin?!"

"Casper came alone," Stoffer patiently explained. "He talked with Mr. Berry for half an hour and left afterward. I didn't stop him because he was alone."

Casper came alone? Nia furrowed her brows deeply upon hearing this news. Knowing Casper's style of doing things, she knew that if Kevin were here, he would definitely bring people to capture him instead of coming alone just for a conversation.

But there was no reason for Stoffer to lie to her about it... So what did Kevin and Casper talk about?

"Thank you for telling me..." With many doubts in her mind, Nia still thanked Stoffer politely before pushing the door open and entering the room when Dely and Stoffer exchanged smiles outside.

Nia entered the ward quietly and sat on a bed beside Kevin's sleeping face after putting down her bag. The words that Stoffel had spoken kept repeating themselves in her mind: Casper had come over; he talked with Kevin for more than half an hour. What did they talk about exactly? Why did Casper change his violent ways towards Kevin into being gentle all of a sudden?

Nia didn't even think about how maybe Casper had come over to persuade Kevin back onto their side because she knew that someone like him wouldn't tolerate traitors at all... So why did he come then? Lost in thought as she pondered these questions repeatedly inside her head without realizing it herself until even when Kevin woke up from his slumber groggily later on. Since there wasn't any light turned on inside, he mistook Nia sitting next to his bed as some kind of ghostly apparition, which scared him out of his wits causing cold sweat beads forming on his back! If it weren't for Nia speaking up right away, then perhaps he would have screamed out loud!

"You're awake?"

"N-N-Ni-Ni-Ni-a?!?" Gasping heavily at first but soon calming down once recognizing who it really was next to him, he felt relieved enough that all strength left his body momentarily.

"Yeah... I just got back," replied Nia nonchalantly while walking towards Kevin's bedside acting as if nothing unusual had happened earlier today.

"Why are you awake again?"

Kevin smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I feel like you coming back."Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Nia smirked, but there wasn't much humor in her eyes.

"How was the party tonight?" Kevin sat up and took Nia's hand to ask.

"It was okay. I saw a lot of old friends who support us against Casper, and I also contacted many business partners. As for you, being alone in the hospital must be boring," Nia intentionally said. "But haven't I been messaging with you all along? Not bored," Kevin laughed awkwardly.

"Hmm," Nia looked at Kevin seriously and suddenly mentioned, "I thought Casper would definitely show up at the party tonight, but he didn't come."

"Really?" Kevin's brow furrowed imperceptibly then relaxed again. He deliberately concealed that Casper had come to see him tonight because he hadn't clarified his intentions yet; moreover, if Nia knew about it, she might become suspicious.

Thinking of this made Kevin more certain that he couldn't tell Nia about this matter; besides, he firmly believed that Stoffer wasn't someone who talked too much - as long as Stoffer didn't say anything, then there was no way for Nia to know.

Kevin never expected that Stoffer really wasn't someone who talked too much - unless ordered to do so; otherwise he wouldn't miss a chance to speak up.

Hearing Kevin's vague response of "Really?", Nia lowered her eyes while her pupils shone with light and couldn't give up on saying, "Where did Casper go and what did he do? We have to be careful about his whereabouts."

"Indeed," Kevin's expression became increasingly unnatural as he could only use laughter to cover his guilt. "We need to pay special attention on his whereabouts, but don't worry too much since we have Lauren's people protecting us."

"Hmm," hearing this made doubts sprout from within Nia's heart soaring into the sky -Kevin was hiding something from her! He must have talked with Casper about something unfavorable towards her! She never expected that everything relied solely on herself!

Despite feeling resentful inside, Nia still smiled gently - her smile becoming warmer by the minute.

"You're tired tonight too, right?" Kevin sensed something amiss with Nia but thought it might just be exhaustion from socializing so, he expressed concern, "Go back to the villa. You're not suitable staying here in the hospital now."

Kevin's original intention was indeed for Nia's good. She was dressed in an evening gown and had exquisite makeup on, which made it unsuitable for her to spend the night in the hospital. But this kind of concern only made Nia feel guilty at this moment, as Kevin seemed to be distancing himself from her.

Nia's suspicion stemmed from Spencer and Casper. She had learned their essence perfectly and had already suspected that Kevin had a wandering eye. So she stood up following his words, kissed him affectionately on the lips, and said,

"Okay then, I'll go back first. You rest well. I'll come over tomorrow after taking care of things at the company."

"Mm-hmm." Kevin didn't suspect anything and responded with a smile.

Leaving the ward with Dely following behind her, Nia walked forward with heavy steps dragging one foot after another. She thought she had found a man she could trust wholeheartedly but now even Kevin had changed? How can she still trust him? What should she do in the future?

Walking into the night, Nia felt lost.

In the early morning hours, Eve was awakened by urgent knocking on her door while still half asleep. She almost thought she heard wrong but when the knocking continued louder than before after stopping briefly earlier on outside her door; Eve instantly became wide awake and quickly put on some clothes before opening it.

"Nia! Why are you here?" Seeing Nia standing outside her door made Eve widen her eyes; it must be past midnight now!

"Eve... can I stay at your place tonight?" Nia sounded very depressed.

Eve frowned upon seeing Dely standing behind her sister but quickly took hold of Nia's hand, "Of course you can! Come inside quickly. Dely you should rest first."
