Chapter 2295
Nicholas took Cecilia directly into the car. Cecilia nervously grabbed his arm and said, "Mr. Ling, we don't need to check my eyes anymore. Let's go. I'm really scared."
Nicholas whispered in her ear, "Sorry, those killers might want to use this opportunity to get me. I'll ask the driver to send you back."
Nicholas urged the driver once he finished speaking, "Take Miss Xia to a safe place."
Cecilia said as she grasped his arm tightly, "Mr. Ling, let's go together."
"No, I can't leave with you. They will definitely continue to chase us. Just go."
Nicholas closed the car door and the car left quickly.
Cecilia bit her red lips. She didn't expect that Nicholas would put himself in danger in order to protect her.
"Nicholas, don't think I'll let you off the hook simply because you're like this."
Cecilia said bitterly in her heart.
"Brother Liu, can you send me to my sister's workplace?"
Cecilia said to the driver.
"Okay, Miss Xia, where is your sister working?"
Cecilia told him the address, and the driver stopped at the door of the restaurant where Leana worked.
Leana received the message and quickly walked out to help Cecilia.
After thanking the driver, Cecilia followed her into the restaurant.
As soon as they walked inside the restaurant, the entire crew halted their work and gave Cecilia a respectful look.
Cecilia's aura changed drastically. She was still weak a moment ago, but now, her eyes and expression showed the sternness and fierceness of a female boss.
"Miss, when are you going to make your move?"
One of the men asked.
"Wait for my order."
Cecilia walked into the backstage of her work and sat on a chair. Her dry eyes were instantly filled with cold light.
"What kind of person is Nicholas?
"If you get close to him, you should know him well."
A man entered the room. With affection in his eyes, he stared at Cecilia. This man's name was Arthur, and was Cecilia's adopted brother. He was a few years older than Cecilia. At this moment, he slowly walked down the stairs from backstage.
"He is just a normal man, not as mysterious as the rumors say."
Cecilia said lightly.
"Oh?
I heard that his father dispatched many hidden guards to protect him. Have you fought with them?"
Arthur instantly underestimated Nicholas's abilities.
"I'm just a blind woman. I have no chance to fight with his secret guards."
Cecilia replied coldly.
"Cecilia, thank you for your hard work. You must have suffered a lot by lurking around by this man's side. We'll ask our adopted father for a vacation after this mission is completed. Where do you want to go? I'll go wherever you want to go."
The man took a step closer and reached out to take Cecilia's small hand in his.
Cecilia quietly dodged and said in a cold voice, "I don't want to go anywhere."
The man smiled as he gazed at his empty hand. "Cecilia, you're still so distant. You should be able to feel my affection for you. I know that you don't want to have a boyfriend now. I'm willing to wait..." "Arthur, we're now partners. Please understand."
Cecilia coldly reminded him.
"Cecilia, don't you feel lonely?
"Since we were children, we have been taught to have no feelings. Our blood is cold, we can only keep warm by hugging each other. Except for me, no man will truly love and care for you..." Arthur said calmly.
Cecilia was reminded of the handsome face and sweet voice when she heard his words.
That's right. Since she was a child, she had been informed that the only reason she was alive was to carry out missions. She didn't have to care about anything, nor did she have to feel sorry for him or pity him. But why was her heart beating so fast?
Was all the kindness and care that Nicholas had shown her fake?
"Thank you for your concern, but I don't need your warmth. I don't feel cold."
Cecilia didn't buy it.
"Do you have someone you like?
Who is it?"
Arthur's expression changed as he asked suspiciously.
"I don't have any."
Cecilia said coldly.
Arthur didn't believe it. He suddenly said sarcastically, "Cecilia, are you in love with Nicholas?
"As far as I know, he is very handsome. You're not such a shallow person. You're not going to fall in love with him just by looking at him, are you?"
Cecilia's pretty face froze, and she scowled angrily at Arthur. "I won't fall in love with my enemy, unless I don't want to live anymore."
"Yeah, unless you want to die."
Arthur believed that Cecilia would not risk her life for a man.

Cecilia was fed up with him and didn't want to talk to him any longer. She just said, in a frigid tone, "I'm looking for a new place to live. I can't
stay with Nicholas anymové
"What's wrong?
"Did he figure out who you are?"
Arthur was stunned.
"No, he's looking for someone to check my eyes. I can hide it from ordinary people, but not from experts in that field." "Okay, I'll find you a place to live. But, how are you going to get close to Nicholas?"
"I'll find a way."
Arthur went out after making a phone call. It didn't take long for him to get the result.
"I found you a place to stay near Nicholas's school. You'll be moving there with Leana."
"All right."
Cecilia nodded. Suddenly, her phone rang.
"It's Nicholas."
Cecilia frowned, stood up, and moved over to the side of the room. "Hello."
"Miss Xia, where are you?"
Nicholas's tone was filled with panting.
"I'm in the restaurant where my sister works. Are you no longer in danger?"
Cecilia's voice changed, becoming gentle and soft..
As he listened, a glint of jealousy flashed across Arthur's face.
Cecilia's voice had always been frigid when she spoke to him, but it was sweet and lovely when she spoke to Nicholas.Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.
"I met a killer a moment ago. I just fought with him."
Nicholas had experienced life and death. He felt fortunate when he heard Cecilia's voice.
"Then you have to be careful, Mr. Ling. I don't want anything to happen to you."
What Cecilia meant was, "You can't die in the hands of others. You must die in my hands."
"Don't worry, I won't have such a short life."
Nicholas said abruptly when he finished speaking, "I can't talk to you anymore. Someone is coming after me."
Cecilia frowned as she listened to the sound on the phone.
"Did you send these assassins?"
Cecilia looked back at Arthur and asked.
Arthur's lips curled into a cold smile. "What's wrong?
"Are you concerned about his well-being? How could my people find him if you hadn't exposed his position?"
"Is it really you?"
Cecilia gritted her teeth and said coldly, "Why didn't you discuss it with me before you started?"
"Cecilia, don't worry. If I kill Nicholas, I won't take the credit from you. It's all on you."
Arthur's tone became gentle.
"There's no need. Don't forget that there's someone responsible for this plan. You are not authorized to act without my approval or reveal your identity in the future. Who will be held accountable for this?"
Cecilia warned him coldly.
Arthur's expression changed, but he didn't dare to say anything in the end.
"I'm afraid that you'll mess up your job, so I want to help you solve it as soon as possible."
"Remember, not only does our adopted father want to kill Nicholas, but he also wants to learn some secrets from him. It's pointless to kill him. He had
to say something."
"Yes, I won't mess around again. I'll listen to your commands."
Arthur lowered his head. Cecilia may be seen as his superior. He couldn't go against her actions.
Cecilia turned around and went out.
"Cecilia, where are you going?"
"It has nothing to do with you."
After Cecilia finished speaking, she
entered a room. After a while, she
had changed into a leather outfit and leather pants. Her long hair was pulled back into a ponytail, and her face was hidden behind a mask.
"I'll go with you."
Arthur said anxiously.
"No need. Just stay here."
Cecilia had already flashed out of another door of the restaurant, where a black motorcycle was parked. Cecilia crossed her long legs and sped
forward.
