Messing With Her? Are You Crazy! novel Chapter 492

"Are you that eager to be exiled to the branch office in the middle of nowhere?" Nicholas asked, a smirk playing on his lips, his expression unreadable. His voice was dangerously low and smooth.

"No! I don't want to!"

Riley whipped around and snapped to attention like a soldier.

He kept his eyes squeezed shut, hoping this was all just a bad dream. His body trembled uncontrollably.

Nicholas chuckled.

Riley trembled even more violently.

"Is that so?" Nicholas said with a lazy smile, his tone casual. "Because I think you are."

A threat!

A blatant threat!

Riley's eyes flew open, wanting to scream at Nicholas that he didn't want to! He would absolutely not go to Hartville!

But the moment he opened them, he met the man's cool, emotionless dark eyes.

Nicholas stood with one hand in his pocket, the brilliant chandelier light outlining his tall, elegant frame.

He had a lazy, roguish smile on his lips.

But when his deep, dark eyes, devoid of emotion, fell upon Riley, they were so still, so terrifying.

They were a bottomless abyss.

It felt like if he kept looking, he would drown from the lack of air.

Even though Nicholas wasn't angry, not even showing a hint of emotional fluctuation, it was precisely this calm that filled Riley with ever-growing terror and unease.

He could barely hold it together anymore and wailed, "Nicholas, I was wrong! I was so wrong! I was just talking nonsense, I made it all up!"

With a mournful expression, he pressed his hands together and begged for his life. "I was just jealous of you, Nicholas! I was just being a petty jerk and making up lies about you! It was foolish of me to even try!"

"I swear, from now on, I'll stay away from my… uh, Serena. No, I'll stay five meters away! Ten meters! I'll take a detour whenever I see her!"
