Love Strategy: CEO He is Really Scheming！

He doesn’t want her life; he wants to confine her, to make her never step out of his circle, to keep her by his side forever!

Jose Floyd’s fingers gripped Nicole’s chin, his left hand bruised and stained with blood, starkly visible to her.

It was to protect her that his hand was injured—

Nicole felt a raspy dryness in her throat.

Staring at Jose Floyd’s cold, stern face, she lost herself.

This man was so domineering and relentless, easily breaking through the walls she built, invading, unreasonably occupying all her thoughts, appearing repeatedly in her mind, stubbornly refusing to leave.

The end result was that whenever she thought of him, she could be lost in thought for hours...

Does she love this man?

She doesn’t dare answer, yet she always clearly tells herself that she cannot love this man, he is her enemy, an enemy she cannot love...

As Nicole was dazed, Jose Floyd reached into her pocket and pulled out her phone.

"What are you doing?" Nicole asked softly.

Jose Floyd coldly ignored her, "Password."

"My birthday," Nicole blurted out.

"It really is a nice day," Jose Floyd effortlessly unlocked the phone, sneering.

Her birthday was also the day they first had an encounter; using it as a password, in such mutual hatred, was truly ironic.

Nicole suddenly understood what he was mocking, and her face looked a bit uneasy.

Jose Floyd swiped through the phone, deleting his number from the blacklist, and saved it in the contacts.

While saving the number, Jose Floyd simply input a character ’Jose.’ After doing all this, his gaze fell on Nicole, noticing her hesitant expression.

Jose Floyd was utterly indifferent, returning the phone and saying coldly, "Convenient to enter just one character. Nicole, if you dare to put my number in the blacklist again, I’ll simply call the Seys Family’s landline when I need you! Don’t think I don’t know, if I want to find out, I just need to ask Ariel Morris!"

Convenient—

Saving his number in her contacts, just recorded as ’Jose’?

This is her phone; the name is so ambiguous... typically used between lovers...

As Nicole was feeling a bit uncomfortable, Iris’ sweet voice piped up, "Aunt, what are you and Uncle doing? Taking a nap?"

Jose Floyd and Nicole turned their heads simultaneously to see Jorge Saxton touching his nose, holding his little niece’s hand, with a teasing and ambiguous smile directed at them.

Jorge Saxton’s teasing gaze was cheerful, and Nicole realized she was still in Jose Floyd’s embrace, quickly turning over to stand up, explaining somewhat flustered to Jorge Saxton: "He... we just stumbled... that’s all, nothing else!"

Jorge Saxton rolled back his smile, nodding seriously, replied, "Even if there is, it’s okay, you’re so familiar with Jose, it’s not the first or second time."

"..."

Jorge Saxton, the rogue!!

Nicole’s cheeks flushed from Jorge Saxton’s teasing, turning to glare at the silent Jose Floyd on the ground, her face looking a bit anxious.

Jose Floyd lay on the ground, giving Jorge Saxton a cold glance, for the first time feeling it was unlucky to have such a buddy! Not the slightest awareness to stop being so intrusive!

Why come back so early?!

Jose Floyd directed a cold command to Jorge Saxton, "Help me up."

"Hmm?" Jorge Saxton asked, turning his questioning gaze to Nicole.

"His hand is injured, both are, but the right one seems much worse," Nicole explained in a low voice.
