She Is A CEO

Chapter 1075 Let Bygones be Bygones

Just as Nia and Eve were preparing to leave the infusion room, Kevin appeared at the door and was thrilled to see Nia. "Nia, why didn't you come up to see me?" Ever since Nia suspected Kevin of something, she had been intentionally avoiding him. She used to go to the hospital every day to accompany him but later became too busy with work and stopped showing up. She also frequently ignored Kevin's calls. Kevin had been wanting to talk with her but couldn't leave the hospital easily. Fortunately, today while he was receiving an IV drip, he overheard a nurse talking about a pair of sisters with strange blood types who had arrived at the hospital. He immediately thought of Nia and came down with his IV drip in hand.

Sure enough, it was her! Kevin was extremely happy but Nia's face did not look good; she even deliberately avoided his gaze which confused him even more.

"Eve, it looks like your sister still needs to stay with Mr. Berry for a while longer so I'll take you back to the hotel," Lauren said confidently as he reached out and pulled Eve into his arms without waiting for her response before leading her away.

Eve couldn't resist Lauren's strength so she could only turn around and shout at her sister, "Nia, I'll find you next time."

Nia just wanted to leave now but Kevin blocked the doorway; she simply lowered her eyes without saying anything.

"Nia, what's wrong?" Kevin was a smart person who can tell that something was off about Nia right away.

Nia looked at Dely and Stoffer standing behind Kevin then opened her mouth but didn't say anything.

Kevin immediately understood that they couldn't be heard by others now, so he affectionately took hold of Nia's hand and led them both into the courtyard while Dely and Stoffer stayed far away watching them from afar.

"Now they can't hear us talking anymore. Can you tell me why you've been distancing yourself from me lately?"

Looking at Kevin made Nia hesitant because his eyes looked sincere which meant either he was innocent or really good at acting. Nia wasn't sure where or how exactly should start speaking up about this matter.

Seeing that all Nia was doing was staring blankly ahead, Kevin kept thinking until suddenly something occurred to him - Casper!

No wonder Casper came looking for him saying all those useless things! He wasn't trying to give him another chance, instead...

"Nia!" As soon as Kevin discovered this fact, he was thrilled and immediately took hold of her hands asking her, "Have you already known that Casper came for me?"NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

Without uttering a word, Nia gave him an exasperated look which explained everything already...

"Nia! We fell for Casper's trick!" Kevin hurriedly explained.

"On the day you went to Mr. George's party, Casper came to find me alone. Stoffer didn't stop him when he saw that he was alone, and after he came in, he kept trying to persuade me to turn back. But I ignored him because we both know what kind of person he is. How could someone with his character forgive someone who betrayed them? I knew what was going on and tried to mediate for half an hour before he left on his own. At the time, I couldn't figure out why he had come, but seeing your reaction today made it clear! He just wanted you and me to break up!"

Nia looked at Kevin skeptically as she listened to his hurried explanation.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" she asked.

"Because at the time I wasn't sure why he had come," Kevin replied anxiously. "I know you've been deceived and betrayed before, so if I told you that Casper came looking for me for a chat, what would you think? I was afraid that if I said anything, it would make things worse between us."

Kevin held Nia's hand tightly hoping she could see through Casper's scheme; if she didn't believe him now, they wouldn't be able rely on each other in future.

"Is everything you're saying true?" Nia asked uncertainly as she looked into Kevin's eyes.

"Of course!" Kevin answered firmly while gazing into her eyes, wishing that somehow his heart could speak. "Think about it carefully too. If Casper really wanted revenge against me, then why did not bring anyone else along with him? This already makes us suspicious!"

Finally Nia relented; tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke softly,

"Do you know how much pain it caused when you chose not to tell me? You know how much betrayal has hurt before? It scares me so much thinking that maybe one day even my trust in will be broken." "Nia," said Kevin gently holding her close. "I won't betray your trust ever since leaving Casper behind - no matter whether our future brings good or bad times."

Nia's expression changed several times but ultimately she decided to believe Kevin's words since they seemed reasonable enough. Besides there were still some loose ends which needed tying up anyway- better keep control of things while also planning their next move together...just in case.

With determination set deep within herself now, Nia wiped away a few tears from her face and said pitifully,

"That night, I was supposed to stay at the hospital with you. But when I saw you hiding something from me, and thought that you were still working for Casper, I left on my own. I ran to Eve's place and cried all night. These days, I've been suppressing my feelings for you and focusing solely on work."

"Nia, I'm sorry for what happened," Kevin said sympathetically.

"But this little incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise," Nia turned her sadness into happiness as she looked up at Kevin. "When I went to Eve's that night, she noticed how upset I was and it affected her too. In the end, she even argued with Lauren just so he could help us get rid of Casper! And today he finally agreed!"

"Really?!" Kevin exclaimed in excitement with wide eyes.

"Yes! Otherwise why would I have agreed to give blood earlier?" Nia smiled coyly before quickly changing her expression again as she lifted up her arm to show Kevin the bruise from where the needle had been inserted.

"You see? The needle made a big bruise on my arm," Nia complained.

Kevin looked down and saw the dark bruise where the needle had been inserted. He immediately felt sorry for her and gently rubbed it while saying affectionately, "I'm really sorry about everything that happened that night. If only we had talked things through then."

"For our future together, this little bit of suffering is nothing compared to your love," Nia gazed lovingly at Kevin while secretly deciding to trust him one more time.

Kevin's heart skipped a beat as he pulled Nia into his arms; they cuddled together like two people deeply in love.

Meanwhile Stoffer and Dely watched from afar with mocking expressions on their faces as they witnessed Nia and Kevin's romantic scene play out before them.
