Chapter 34 Toast Nicole gently compressed her lips in a smile. “Didn‘t they say already? She‘s a doctor.” Aleena puckered up her lips. “I wonder what her relationship with Silas is. Could it be that he likes her?” Nicole shot Aleena a disapproving look. “Do you know why men fall for women of this sort?” Aleena was nonplussed. “Why?”
Nicole leaned toward her and responded, “It‘s because she‘s high up there, far away from him, playing hard to get. This would intensify every man‘s desire to possess a woman.

I was just responding to the questions of the patient as a doctor. You guys lining up to apologize to me only makes me look like a narrow–minded person.” Aleena responded, “Don‘t say that. Miss Aubrey, we‘re not in the same line of work, and we also don‘t know you too well. That‘s why we can only keep apologizing. Otherwise, we might offend you. By

their misunderstanding had just become worse. Gianna must be really into Silas, and that‘s why she‘s filled with all this enmity toward me. “Fine then.
