Chapter 19 Does Steven Have a Bodyguard
Nora got up and walked over to take a look, but the number had already been erased. She squinted, trying to make it out, but it was no use.
She shook her head at Amelia.
Amelia looked disappointed.
Feeling a bit drained, Nora stepped outside for some fresh air.
Just as she stepped out, she bumped into Bianca, who had come to the party.
Bianca was decked out in a designer dress that Eleanor had spent a fortune on. Her face was perfectly made up as she strutted over, oozing arrogance.
She was here tonight to chase after Philip!
She planned to call Philip out of the private room to meet her soon!
Seeing Nora in the corridor, Bianca's face turned cold.
"Nora, what are you doing here?" Bianca stopped in front of her, her expression icy.
This event was way out of Nora's league, and this was a luxury car club—no way could someone without money get in!
"Who brought you here?" Bianca continued to question.
Nora looked up at her and said confidently, "I came with Philip."
Having just missed out on the wealth code, Nora was in no mood to deal with Bianca, so she lifted her foot and walked away.
Bianca's face was a storm of emotions.
She came with Philip!
This vixen was definitely trying to steal her man!
Unable to hold back, Bianca grabbed Nora's long curly hair from behind. "You bitch! How dare you seduce my man!"
As Bianca grabbed Nora's hair, Steven received a call from his bodyguard.
"Mr. York, Mrs. York is fighting with another woman in the corridor!" the bodyguard reported.
Steven's face darkened. "Why aren't you stopping it? What do I pay you for?"
Chris, seeing Steven suddenly angry, raised an eyebrow. "What's got you so worked up all of a sudden? What's going on?"
They were in another private room.
The room was filled with important figures, all discussing business.
A CEO had just handed a project proposal to Steven when he erupted, his face as dark as a thundercloud.
The CEO was so scared he froze, his hand holding the project suspended in mid-air, not daring to move!
Meanwhile...
Nora swung her small purse and hit Bianca in the face.
Caught off guard, Bianca's face turned red from the impact. Her eyes blazing with fury, she slapped Nora!
Nora retaliated with a slap of her own.
She wasn't going to take this lying down!
If she had actually seduced Philip and Bianca was his girlfriend, then she would have no right to complain about getting slapped!
But Bianca was making things up!
This was too much!
As the two faced off, a tall, burly man suddenly rushed over and slapped Bianca, making her lip bleed.
Nora was stunned by the scene.
The man who hit Bianca was dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, clearly a bodyguard.
Bianca, in disbelief, glared hatefully at the bodyguard. "Who are you? Why did you hit me?"
"Someone you can't afford to offend," the bodyguard replied. Mr. York was indeed someone Bianca couldn't afford to offend.
Bianca wanted to curse at him, but the bodyguard bared his teeth menacingly at her.
Terrified, Bianca turned and fled!
"Who are you?" Nora asked the unfamiliar bodyguard standing in the corridor.
The bodyguard was about to call her Mrs. York when someone behind them answered, "I saved you."
The voice was low and rich.
It was unmistakably her husband's!
Nora's eyes widened. Was she hallucinating? How was she seeing her husband Steven here?
And he was dressed so impeccably!
So handsome!
"Steven?" Nora looked at the handsome man walking toward her with confusion in her eyes. "What are you doing here?"
She had run into him twice today.
The odds of that were like winning the lottery!
Before Steven could answer, the bodyguard bowed to him. "Mr. Y..."
"Leave!" Steven's face changed, cutting him off.
The bodyguard quickly ran off as if a beast were chasing him, fleeing at top speed!
Nora watched this scene, bewildered. "Is he your bodyguard?"
So, Steven had called the bodyguard to save her?
But why would Steven have a bodyguard?
He was just a manager at a big company. Why would he need a bodyguard?
It's not like anyone was trying to kidnap him!
Steven didn't answer immediately, frowning slightly as if thinking of a response.
Nora looked puzzled. "Steven?"
She waved her hand in front of his face.
"He's my boss's bodyguard. I borrowed him temporarily," Steven came up with a perfect excuse.
"Your boss's bodyguard, huh." Nora suddenly understood. No wonder Steven was at the luxury car club. "So you're here with your boss for business?"
"Yes," Steven nodded slightly, his gaze scrutinizing. "And you? This doesn't seem like a place you should be."
Nora blinked and whispered to him, "I came with my friend and Philip to get some insider information."
So, she wasn't alone with another man; there was a third person.
Steven's expression softened a bit. "What kind of insider information?"
"Investments. I came to see if there's any useful insider information. I want to make some extra money," Nora's eyes sparkled at the mention of money.
Steven thought she was a little money-grubber. "Why is your face red? Did you get slapped just now?"
Beneath her long curly hair, her fair face bore a noticeable slap mark.
"Yes!" Nora started to whine upon seeing her husband. "Bianca slapped me just now. It really hurt!"
Steven frowned. "Serves you right!"
Who told her to come to socialize with strange men!
"Serves me right?" Nora's eyes filled with grievance. "I got slapped, and you say I deserve it?"
She was a bit upset!
Shouldn't he be comforting her when she was hurt?
"It's because you don't know how to keep your distance from men that you got slapped." Steven's tone was cold, reminding her not to behave flirtatiously.
Nora pouted unhappily.
When she pouted, it looked like she was asking for a kiss. Steven looked down at her pretty face, his eyes filled with warmth.
They were talking in the corridor.
Not far away, a man and a woman appeared.
"Isn't that your fiancé? What's he doing with another woman? They look so close," Andrew said with a mocking smile, standing in the shadows.
Vivian looked up.
Steven was flirting with Nora.
They were standing very close, and Steven was lifting the woman's hair as if looking at her face.
Vivian didn't expect Steven to have such a tender side.
Yes, Steven was her fiancé.
But Steven, not wanting to marry her, was rumored to have secretly married an ordinary woman.
"Could that woman be the one my brother married outside?" Andrew knew full well but purposely reminded Vivian.
Vivian bit her lower lip slightly. "She's Steven's wife?"
