Goes to Somewhere

"So you threatened him?"

Edward asked as he accepted the glass of wine Nicholas handed him. Tonight, Nicholas suddenly asked Edward to come to his apartment for some reason.

Nicholas nodded. "I don't know what else to do to get him to comply with my request. So that you know, he wasn't afraid after I threatened him."

Edward chuckled. "You are an idiot, Nick! If a woman refuses to help you, it doesn't mean you threaten her. You should seduce her, Nicholas Alistair!"

Edward couldn't understand what his best friend was thinking. Nicholas and Jacob are just as lousy when it comes to seducing women's hearts. Edward should give them a free course to conquer women's hearts.

"What should I do then?" asked Nicholas in a questioning tone.

"Why are you being such an idiot now, Nick? Tomorrow, if Kimberly keeps rejecting you. You'll have to beg her a bit."

"B-but---"

"Not too many buts. Even if you need to, you have to seduce her. If they say they don't want a woman, it means asking to be seduced until they turn into willing. Please learn to be a little sensitive."

Nicholas nodded. "Then what if in the end Kimberly still refuses my request?"

Before Edward could answer, Nicholas' apartment bell rang. The man then pointed his feet, checking the intercom screen installed beside the door. He saw a woman he knew very well standing at the door of his apartment. What do you want Kimberly to do here at night? Has she changed her mind? Nicholas smiled and quickly opened the door to his apartment.

"What are you doing here?"

Nicholas inquired without telling Kimberly to enter the apartment first. The man left Kimberly standing at the door.

"I have something to tell you," Kimberly replied.

"Take your time. Just say it now."

"Am I not invited in first, Nick?" Nicholas shook his head. Not without reason, Nicholas refused to take Kimberly into his house. Only, at this time, Edward was inside. Playboy will certainly mess up and tease Kimberly over and over again.

"There's Edward inside, and I just don't want him to mess up when he finds out you're here."

Kimberly nodded. "Okay, I just wanted to say that I agree to your request."

Nicholas smiled triumphantly. Kimberly finally agreed to what he had asked before. That meant Nicholas no longer had to bother looking for another woman who would be his temporary lover. "But there is a prerequisite!" Kimberly continued.

Nicholas frowned. "Gosh, you gave me a condition? Then what should I do"

Kimberly smiled sarcastically. "I will comply with all your requests. But in return, allow me some time to come to live in your apartment."

Nicholas was shocked to hear the conditions given to him by Kimberly.

"You're crazy. Why are you living in my apartment?"

"Think of it was deepening acting before your parents arrived in LA."

Nicholas shook his head. "I'm sorry, but I can't accept women living in my apartment. Besides, aren't you afraid we'll be branded as a cohabiting couple?"

Kimberly chuckled, "Oh come on, it's 2020. After all, you live in the most expensive apartment in LA, and your neighbours are mostly dont care what yo do. They don't have time to take care of other people's lives."

Kimberly was right; Nicholas had been living in the Astronomix Residence. The name of this apartment has been known as the most expensive apartment in Los Angeles for a long time. Besides its location right in front of the Hotel Hyatt, Astronomix Residence also has many specifications and all-in-one amenities for those who have a thick wallet. Living in the Astronomix Residence also means that you have neighbours who are not just from the 'regular circle'.

Almost all of the residents are young executives or expatriates working in Los Angeles. Most of the residents of modern apartments do not know each other and do not even want to know the affairs of their neighbours, even though they live side by side.

Nicholas crossed his arms against his chest. His eyes showed suspicion. "Why are you so insistent on living with me? My parents will not even arrive in Los Angeles next week."

"Oh, Come on ... There's something I can't explain right now. But like I said before, let's just say we're exploring roles before meeting your parents," Kimberly replied.

Nicholas narrowed his eyes. "You weren't involved in a criminal case then trying to take cover in my apartment, right?"

Kimberly glared at Nicholas.

"Jesus, I'm a good woman. How can I be involved in a criminal case!"

"A good woman doesn't live under the same roof as a man she doesn't know," Nicholas said.

"I know you; you're my boss!" said Kimberly, not wanting to lose. Nicholas was silent for a moment. His heart and mind were still filled with questions as to why his secretary suddenly insisted on wanting to live in his apartment. Seeing Nicholas, who was not ready to accept Kimberly, the woman then decided.

"You're still refusing my request? Well, no problem. I'll ask Mr Edward for help. Maybe it's better to stay in his apartment. Mr Edward can't refuse me anyway." threatened Kimberly.

"So now you're threatening me?" Nicholas asked.

"I'm not threatening. I'm just making you a small offer."

Nicholas was silent for a long time, making Kimberly a little impatient. "You've been thinking too long!" Kimberly growled. Then the woman decided to bully Nicholas by calling Edward, who was in the apartment.

"Mr Ed---" Before Kimberly had finished calling out, Nicholas' palm had already shut her mouth. "Baad, I agree to your request. Now you go downstairs and wait for me at the restaurant on the first floor. I'll catch up with you as soon as I send Edward home." Kimberly smiled triumphantly. "Okay, honey. I'll be waiting for you downstairs. Please don't make me waiting for long. Or I will go to Mr Edward's House and asking him for help me to stay in his house."

"Don't be afraid, i will follow you soon."
