Chapter 157: Deal.
"Why do you have that look?" Nicklaus passed her a side glance before turning back to the road.
After the kiss, he had been watching her emotions even while driving, and her countenance changes each second.
Arissa relaxed in her seat, "I’m tired," she answered truthfully, "What were you saying concerning Mr. Adams?" she turned to him with expectations.
He haven’t called her since that auction and that was the same period Nicklaus warned her about him but still, she had tried to call him. Her calls kept on going over to his voice note and she left countless messages there which have been unanswered to date. It was surprising and even if he wasn’t able to get in touch with the Knewman couples, he would have at least let her know while they look for other means possible than to keep her waiting in the dark.
Also, for the documents to send her father to jail, he hasn’t sent her the remaining one and that’s the only document that would send her father to life imprisonment.
The rest of the documents she have seemed useless to her because, with the rate of his corrupted power, he might buy the judge as so far from what she already knows, he already has seventy-five percent of the law on his palm and all of these slowed down her plans.
Hearing her question, Nicklaus’s hand on the steering wheel tightened as he locked all emotions away. He was about to face her with the truth and who knows, he would have to start from scratch again to keep her calm around him.
Having all those thoughts, he decided not to risk their relationship. Maybe when he comes back, he would tell her everything.
"It was nothing serious. I only wanted to keep an eye on him," he kept his voice casual to lessen or take away her doubt.
Arissa turned to him, "Why do you have to do that?" suspicion grew in her eyes, "Has he been working with my father all this while?" she asked with a hard voice as her expression turned fierce.
"No," Nicklaus answered immediately, "I just don’t trust him," he put in to soften her emotions but the reverse was the case as she only thinned her lips, her face painted with the saying that she doesn’t believe him.
