Chapter 12 He Probably Likes You Chapter 12 He Probably Likes You When Fergus saw the woman , his gaze softened . Suddenly , something occurred to him . " Rebecca , you also work in the skincare department , right ? " " That's right . What's wrong ? " Rebecca Brown asked . " Aren't you the deputy manager ? With your qualifications , shouldn't you be promoted to the manager after the previous one left ? " Rebecca pursed her lips . " That's true , but someone was parachuted into the job instead ! " 1/2 Hearing that , Fergus became even more convinced that Nancy was a kept woman . That was really shameless of Nancy . He couldn't believe the Lidell family would produce someone like her . Feeling utterly disappointed , Fergus gazed at Rebecca darkly . " Do you want to be the manager ? I can help you . ' Rebecca was Raine's friend , so he didn't mind giving her a hand . Rebecca grew excited . " Really , Fergie ? " " Of course , " Fergus said with a smirk , his gaze turning cold . Meanwhile , inside the office , Nancy asked , " Why are you here ? " Gideon approached her . " If I don't show up , what about your lipstick ? " He spread his hand , showing the lipstick he had been holding the entire time . 11 ww As Nancy took the lipstick from him , her hand accidentally brushed against his fingers , which were rough and strong against her skin . She quickly pulled her hand back and said , " Thank you . " " Was that man your brother from the Lidell family ? " Gideón asked with obvious disdain . Nancy felt ashamed , too . " Yes , but it doesn't matter . I have my parents from the Moore family , anyway . " Mm . If they treat you badly , let me know , " Gideon said calmly . Nancy found that strange , but she still replied , " Thank you for helping out earlier . " " You're only thanking me verbally ? " Gideon's dark , piercing eyes locked onto her . Nancy thought for a bit before offering , " How about 1 treat you to a meal ? You treated me once and helped me earlier . You pick the place . " " Your house , " Gideon replied without hesitation . Silence filled the air . Nancy frowned as she gazed at Gideon . Gideon spoke up , his voice deep and alluring . " I'm tired of eating out all the time , and I'm craving home - cooked food . Don't tell me you can't cook , Ms. Moore ? " That remark definitely struck a nerve with Nancy . She had always been fiercely competitive , and besides , Gideon had a point . Someone like him must be tired of eating out all the time . " Of course , I can cook . But still , I'd rather treat you . " Nancy wasn't about to allow a male stranger to enter her house . Gideon stuck both hands into his pockets and replied casually , " Do you think I'll do anything to you ? I won't . Since you insist , we'll do as you say . I'l take my leave now . " " Okay , goodbye . " Nancy watched as he left . She felt puzzled as she thought Gideon was supposed to have an indifferent attitude . Thus , on the phone with her friend , she mentioned what had happened . After hearing the story , Hillary said to her , " In my opinion , there are only two possibilities . " " Which are ? " " Either he deliberately got closer to you to steal the Moore family's confidential files , or ... he likes you ! " Hillary concluded confidently . Nancy was speechless . " Why do both possibilities sound impossible ? " The Fuller family and the Moore family were on par . There was no need for Gideon to sacrifice himself just to get some confidential information . As for him liking her romantically ? That sounded impossible . Hillary chuckled . " Well , I saw Gideon from afar once , and honestly , he scared me . His presence is on another level . Whatever his intention is , I think you can play along and get close to him . " If he's after confidential files , you can steal his instead . If he really likes you , well , that's a win for you , right ? " " You should focus on your shooting . " Nancy said . It was time for Nancy's meeting , so she ended the call . Chapter 12 He Probably Likes You 2/2 When Nancy arrived at the conference room , only a few people were waiting for her , even though there were over 20 employees in the skincare research department . Hannah wore a grim expression , too . " Ms. Moore , I've already informed them . " Nancy's expression remained calm as she sat in the chair at the very front of the table . " Tell them that if they don't show up in ten minutes , they'll be fired on the spot . "
