Chapter 16 Raine Being Sarcastic Nancy fell silent . Her lips twitched as she remarked , " I have no idea you're such a smooth talker . " Gideon looked straight at her . " I've always thought so . " His gaze was burning , causing Nancy to look away' instinctively . The air conditioning was strong , and when she rubbed her arms , Gideon instantly draped his suit jacket over her shoulders . The warmth mixed with his subtle cedarwood scent made her feel unexpectedly warm . She looked up at him in surprise . " Don't catch a cold , " he reminded . Nancy's eyes flickered . She had thought he was a cold and ruthless man , but he kept looking out for her throughout the meal . Meanwhile , tension simmered elsewhere . Midway through dinner , Raine suddenly received a call from Rebecca . " Raine , the company just called off your spokesperson deal ! " " What happened ? Was there a reason ? " Raine gripped her phone . This was her biggest deal yet . " No reason was given . It must be that bitch ! " Rebecca snapped through gritted teeth . " Nancy Moore's deliberately sabotaging me ! " " Nancy ? " Raine was stunned . " Yes ! She's the general manager , ranked higher than me ! " Rebecca fumed , clearly resentful . After the call ended , Fergus asked what had happened . When he heard the story , he was furious , too . " I can't believe the bitch canceled your spokesperson deal using her power . She's gone too far ! " Fergus immediately stood up . Raine asked anxiously , " Fergie , what will you do ? " " They should be finishing soon . If we send photos of them to her sugar daddy's wife , she's done for! " he announced coldly . Raine was excited inwardly , but she still asked , " Isn't that harsh ? Won't that ruin her future ? " " She deserves this ! Raine , don't be too kind , or you'll just get bullied over and over again , " Fergus gazed at her worriedly . Raine replied coquettishly , " That's because I know you'll always have my back , right ? " " You're right about that . They should be done soon . Let's go keep an eye on them . " Fergus sneered . They headed to the stairwell , where they could see people leaving the private rooms . Sure enough , Nancy soon stepped out . Fergus and Raine watched her closely , and moments later , a tall , refined man appeared beside her , leaving them both speechless . His handsome looks could rival a celebrity's . " Fergie , is this Nancy's sugar daddy ? " Raine was shocked and even a little jealous . " Yes , I've seen him previously , but I can't be sure of it , " he replied . Raine said , " I think we could be wrong . Why would a handsome guy be Nancy's sugar daddy ? " Suddenly , Fergus ' eyes lit up with a realization . " I get it ! Maybe this guy is Nancy's kept man . She's got a sugar daddy and a boy toy ? That's just gross ! " With that , he pulled out his phone . " Let's take a photo first . I'll make sure to find her sugar daddy later . " The moment he pulled out his phone , Gideon's gaze swept over him . Fergus felt a chill run down his spine , and he subconsciously concealed himself . Gideon gave a half - smile . " There are lots of rats here . " Nancy glanced over coolly . " That's true . " " Rats can be annoying - Do you want me to help you get rid of them ? " Gideon raised a brow , his dark eyes locking on hers , deep and tempting . Nancy started doubting what Hillary had said . Thanks , but I can handle things myself , " she said politely , keeping her distance . Gideon smiled " We're still neighbors for now . If you need anything , just come to me . " " Sure . " Nancy nodded . " Let's go home ? " Gideon asked . Nancy felt a little strange . They were heading back to the same neighborhood , but it felt like they were heading back to the same house . After a brief hesitation , she replied , " Yes . " Back home , Nancy took a shower and kept an eye on online updates . After the spokesperson deal was called off , Raine posted a sarcastic tweet . " Looks like I'm not worthy of Duran Corporation . I'll work hard and hope for another chance to collaborate with them . " R
