Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 401

Vespera turned off the stove and headed for the door. She might be paranoid, but the first thing that popped into her mind was Tina and Selena. Although it was irrational, that was honestly where her brain went.

She peered through the peephole. Then, she froze and didn't open the door. Pretending she hadn't seen anything, she turned back into the kitchen. She still had pasta to finish and tomato sauce to prepare.

So, that was why Nancy resigned so quickly. She had come to Londarion ahead of schedule.

But didn't Gerard say Nancy used to live here? So, why didn't she have a key?

The doorbell rang again and again, but Vespera kept ignoring it.

It was late, and most people were probably asleep. If someone else wanted to open the door, suit themselves, then. Anyway, she wouldn't open the door.

Sure enough, Gerard came down and opened the door five minutes later. He muttered, "Ms. Acosta…"

Since Nancy was no longer the general manager of the branch office or the chairman's assistant, Gerard changed his tone when addressing her, especially since she was currently unemployed.

Nancy stepped inside as if she still owned the place. She had told Fawn earlier that she was resigning and heading to Londarion first, saying that she had her own way of handling things.

At that time, Fawn hadn't wanted Nancy involved anymore. If Nancy kept interfering, it would only make things worse. However, no one could stop her. She had hopped two connecting flights and landed in Londarion yesterday afternoon.

Nancy was fully aware that Dominic would look into her whereabouts and confirm she was gone. So, she deliberately flew to Holsword first, just to cover her tracks. But she had no idea what had happened last night.

She greeted, "Mr. Nicholson, how have you been?"

Gerard nearly wilted on the spot. He thought, "How have I been? Not good at all. I'm stuck in a full-blown war and a love triangle!"

Nancy sniffed the air and said, "It smells amazing. Are you cooking? I arrived just in time then. I'm starving."

"I wasn't cooking. I was sleeping," said Gerard as he closed the door. Then, he asked, "Ms. Acosta, didn't you leave Halewick for Holsword?"

Nancy asked coldly, "What's wrong? You're allowed to be here, but I'm not?"
