This was the first time that Naomi had seen Nelson after the incident.
He seemed to have lost a lot of weight as he looked haggard.
She had no idea if it was because he had not recovered yet, but he looked a little tired.
He looked nothing like the high-spirited CEO in the past. Naomi thought that she could remain calm, but when she saw him, her heart still stung.
"Are you doing fine?" Nelson asked in a hoarse voice.
Naomi was stunned for a moment before she came back to her senses. She put aside the worries in her eyes and said lightly.
She concealed the worry in her eyes and said lightly, "I'm doing pretty well!"
"That's good!" Nelson pressed his lips together. "As long as you're fine, I'm glad!"
Naomi frowned before replying, "As I've said, there's no need to say those words to me anymore. I won't be stupid enough to be tricked by you anymore! Please maintain some distance!"
Nelson said with a bitter smile, "Okay."
After that, the prison guards behind him took him away.
In the meeting room, Monique looked much better as compared to Nelson.
She did not look like a death sentence prisoner who was about to be executed. Instead, she looked extremely calm. Upon seeing Nelson enter, she smiled and waved to him.
Monique acted exactly like the past bossy leader she used to be.
"You're here?"
Not saying anything, Nelson sat down opposite her.
"What can I do for you?"
"What do you mean? Can't I meet you without any agendas? Besides, I'm going to be sentenced to death. Can't we go on a trip down memory lane together?"
Nelson was still expressionless as he replied, "It's what you asked for!"
Monique shrugged her shoulders and said, "You're really an ungrateful person. No matter how bad of a person I am, I saved you when you were in trouble, didn't I? Why don't you remember anything good about me?"
Nelson snorted, "You're the one who destroyed all of the good parts of yourself in my eyes!"
Monique was slightly stunned upon hearing his words.
Recollecting a memory, her eyes twitched slightly ."Someone once said that to me before."
The main reason why Nelson had not paid much attention to Monique was because he did not have the slightest interest in her at all! Therefore, he naturally would not care about her words and actions.
However, Monique was looking for a companion and was eager to speak her mind. At that moment, Nelson was to play that role.
She stood up and scanned his face.
"Actually, you really look like that person." She shook her head and said, "No, your eyes and eyebrows don't look like him, but you have a similar character to his."
Nelson frowned and asked, "What tricks are you playing again?"
"Aren't you curious about why I asked people to stop the car that day?" Monique said. "If I didn't stop the car that day, maybe you wouldn't have had the chance to work with the police and arrest me!" "So, do you regret doing so?"
