Adam grabbed his phone with anger. "Little bunny, sorry about that, don't misunderstand."
His voice contained a slight trace of fluster. Tracey had seen many sides of him, gentle, charming, or naughty, but had never seen when he was getting flustered.
Imagining his look, Tracey couldn't help laughing. "No, I didn't. I trust you."
"Thank you, my darling. Where are you?" Adam heard the music from the phone.
"I'm at an auction."
"An auction?"
"Yes, the payment for Candy. I got interested in the ruby, and it will be auctioned tonight, so I came for it. Why were't you with your phone before?"
Tracey made him a phone call long ago in the afternoon. Adam said apologetically, "Sorry, I have been discussing the business with others in the morning. The phone was muted. I was so busy that I forgot to call you back."
"It doesn’t matter, I know you're busy, but you should be self-strict, someone is targeting you." Tracey deliberately mentioned it but didn't say it too straightly.
According to Nina' s behavior, she aimed at misunderstanding Tracey by telling her Adam was having a shower.
However, as a grown-up woman, Nina would not randomly joke. There would be only one reason. She liked Adam. So, she wanted Tracey to envy.
How could a mature relationship be destroyed by such a trick? Besides, even if other people didn't know Adam well, Tracey did, and she trusted Adam's love toward her.
In short, Tracey won’t be fooled. Nina was just an outsider who couldn't affect them at all.
"I swear to God that my heart is only belonging to you." Adam said seriously, "I'll never betray you!"
"I believe in you. Go and do your work. The auction is about to start." Tracey hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Adam glanced at Nina coldly. "Don't touch my things."
Feeling his coldness, Nina smiled, "Well, you didn't take the phone, I answered it first so that Tracey won’t be worried." Luckily, Adam didn't know what Nina told Tracey before.
Adam wasn't a fool, and he knew Nina had feelings for him. During the days years for Tracey, he had always been restricted even celibate, and he hated other women's approach. Since going together with Tracey, he felt disgusted more about these omen. He won't allow any one of them to damage his relationship with Tracey.
For Adam, it was not necessary to respond to every woman's love. More cruelly, their love had nothing to do with him.
Therefore, he didn't care about how Nina felt. He cared about only one thing during this trip, the business, nothing else.
"Our love had nothing to do with anyone." Adam said coldly.
"Why are you so angry? Let's go to have lunch. I know there is a wonderful French restaurant nearby." Nina changed the topic.
It was time for lunch, and Adam was indeed a little hungry. Seeing his tall figure, Nina smiled.
She was a smart woman, and she knew that it was useless to attract Adam with common ways. She kept distant from him, observing and testing him.
