Chapter 197: Unintended Jealously.
Nicklaus opened the wine cellar and after a throughout search, he picked out the wine with the lowest alcoholic concentration in it.
He turned away from the wine cellar but Arissa immediately pointed to a particular wine. "Can I have that?"
"Huh?" Nicklaus was surprised seeing the bottle she pointed at, "The alcohol in that wine_"
Arissa cut him off. "I know and I want it," it would be nice if the alcohol does the talking for her and it was what she was aimed at today.
She just hopes she won’t say a thousand embarrassing words.
Nicklaus raised a suspicious brow at her. "If you say so," he agreed.
In a gentlemanly way, he returned the other bottle to the cellar and picked out the one she requested.
Nicklaus locked the wine cellar and led them into the living room where he had already arranged all of his work equipment for the night before she came.
Gently, he took the glasses she came in with and poured her a moderate amount meant for starters. He passed the glass over to her and walked to the next three settees, far away from her.
He kept the distance on purpose so he would be able to keep his hands to himself but Arissa frowned at his effort.
Not staring at her, he opened his laptop and got to work. The frown on Arissa’s face turned to a pout when she realized it was stupid of her to be here.
