AN UNEXPECTED GROOM

Nadia recovered quickly. She asked, dissatisfied,

– What are you doing here?

Quentin didn’t answer him. Instead, he looked around the store for a moment before asking:

“Is that what you did after leaving me?”

-What does that have to do with you? Nadia asked. She could hear the derision hidden in Quentin’s casual tone.

He looked at her mockingly and asked:

-What about that old man in my club? Is this all he is capable of? He couldn’t even afford to rent you a decent shop?

– That’s right. He is pitiful and poor. He’s not as rich and bossy as you, Nadia said, not wanting to bother with him. When she liked him, she thought he was good in every aspect. She thought he was handsome and decent. Now that she didn’t love him anymore, she couldn’t stand to see him. He wasn’t as handsome or as tall as Sebastian, but he was unbearably arrogant.

“Thank you,” Quentin said, pretending he hadn’t heard the sarcasm in his tone.

‘Shameless!’ Nadia thought sadly.

Quentin wasted no time and said bluntly:

– Let’s talk.

– I’m busy. I work, Nadia said without hesitation. She didn’t even look at him when she spoke.

– There’s not even one person here. How busy are you?

He felt that his ability to lie through his teeth had improved.

At this moment, Roxane, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her hand and said:

-Am I not human?

It was only then that Quentin realized there was someone sitting behind the easel. Moreover, it was Sebastian’s precious treasure. He asked :

– Why are you here ?Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

– I’m helping Sister Nadia with a painting, replied Roxane as her eyes rested between Nadia and Quentin.

-Aren’t you afraid that Sebastien will come after you if you let her call you ‘sister’? Quentin asked mockingly.

Nadia laughed and retorted:

– Do you think that every man is as small as you?

Quentin choked on his words. He took a deep breath before saying:

– I will buy all the perfumes here. Can you talk to me now?

Nadia glanced at Quentin and said lazily:

– Mad. I’m not selling them to you.

Quentin was out of breath.

At this moment, Roxane pulled Nadia’s sleeve and asked softly:

– Sister Nadia, is he very rich?

She didn’t know much about Quentin; she only knew that he owned Blue Temptations. She knew he must be quite well off, but she didn’t know if the Armstrong family was wealthy.

Nadia didn’t know why Roxane was asking, but she answered anyway:

– The Armstrong family is in the jewelry business. He is the only son of the Armstrong family.

With this, Roxane understood that Blue Temptations was just a hobby for Quentin. Then she whispered:

-Why don’t you sell them to him? A breakup is a breakup. It’s separate from business. Why should you refuse his business?

Nadia seemed to be enlightened. “That’s right! Business and our private affairs are separate matters!”

She changed her expression smoothly and asked with a smile:

– Do you really want to buy all the perfumes here?

Quentin didn’t know why Nadia suddenly changed her tone, but he quickly took a black card from his wallet and placed it on the counter.

– You know the password.

Nadia’s eyes darkened slightly as she took the black card. Indeed, she knew the password. In the past, when she was with him, he constantly gave her money and jewelry. He was too generous with material things. The only condition was that she had to be obedient and make sure she didn’t embarrass him in front of his friends.

As time passed, she no longer knew whether she was in a relationship with him or his money. Then, at that moment, this woman appeared…

Quentin looked at Nadia’s beautiful face. He didn’t believe she didn’t miss the sensations of sliding black cards freely.

Nadia quickly dispelled the sentimental feelings in her heart. She had mistakenly fallen in love with a scumbag in the past, but there was nothing to be sad about. She quickly calculated the price and swiped the black card. With that, one month’s rent was settled.

– Thank you for your patronage, Sir. May I ask if you would like me to package the items for you now or if you would like me to deliver them to your home?

She asked. In fact, there was no delivery service, but since the scum in front of her bought so many things, she made an exception for him.

Quentin frowned.

– I don’t use perfumes. Why would I want them? Can you talk to me now?

– I’m busy,

She refused him mercilessly.

– I have already bought all the perfumes.

-I didn’t say I’d talk to you after I bought all the perfumes, Nadia said mockingly,

-When did Young Master Armstrong become so naive?

– You!

Quentin felt like his patience had been exhausted by Nadia. He stepped forward and grabbed her hand.

Nadia’s expression stiffened. Before she could grab his arm, he had her on his shoulder. Her feet were lifted off the ground and she felt blood rushing to her head. She shouted indignantly:

– Quentin, you bastard, let me go!

He slapped her butt and said:

– Behave yourself!

He didn’t use much force, but it was extremely humiliating.

Nadia’s face turned red as she said through gritted teeth:

– Quentin, if you don’t let me down, I won’t let you go!

– That’s exactly what I want. Who wants you to let go?

-…

As Quentin took Nadia away, he said to Roxane:

-Sister-in-law, please keep an eye on the store for a while.

– Oh.

Roxane nodded. She didn’t think it was anything serious. It was just a matter between a man and a woman. She shook her head and continued painting.
