The Manipulated Villainess Chapter 12
Advertisement
Leon finds it hard to believe that his fiancee actually persuaded him. He was near the main entrance of Yang Group to pick her up.
The more he thought about it, the more he became flabbergasted. He was Leon Jung and not some ordinary man, yet he agreed to wait for someone in his car while the person will be having a dinner in a warm and luxurious restaurant! He hated to admit but he had become more unpredictable day by day.
Nicole already sent home her car and went down to the ground floor when their promised time had come. There was still an hour left before the dinner meeting and when she saw Leon inside his car, she hopped in right away.
"Who will you meet at this 'very important meeting'?" Leon sarcastically asked her, pointing out how she begged him saying that it was a very important meeting.
"Aston Kang." She bluntly replied, ignoring his mocking tone.
"You mean the actor?"
"Do you know him?"
"Who wouldn't know him? He even came to last night's party." He told her.
"Is that so?" When hearing about the party, she realized the strange man she met in the garden. Still, she cannot wipe him off her mind. He was so strange!
"Wait! You really didn't know him yet you are a businesswoman?!" Leon gasped.
"Am I obliged to know him just because he is a famous actor? I only heard his name." She retorted which earned her a hopeless sigh from the man. He didn't even bother to respond and he just keeps on driving quietly.

Ten minutes left before the meeting and Nicole calmly sit still in the private room of the restaurant. She double checks the draft of the contract to ensure that no mistake was made. But knowing that there was someone outside waiting for her, she could feel the pressure and her mind was in a hurry.
She was currently drinking a glass of water when she heard the sound of the door opening. Her eyes flew to the door to see the awaited guest.
A dashing young man in a black suit and sunglasses walked inside the room. With a uniformly black hair that was combed to the side, a straight-edged nose and a sharp jawline that added to his refined features; no wonder he was the most popular among the many celebrities of their country!

He was tall and had a well-built body. His black and thick eyebrows gave him a more masculine look. Though some part of his face was covered by sunglasses which hide his handsome looks, it would still be impossible not to long for another glance for anyone who crossed path with him!
With confidence, he approached the table where Nicole was sitting. The powerful and majestic aura that this young actor possessed was no joke!
Nicole rose from her seat to greet the man who was called the 'undisputed king of the entertainment industry.' Though the nation's heartthrob who was considered the most handsome bachelor of the country was standing right before her, she calmly stood there, unfazed by what her eyes saw.
But one thing troubled her. He looked so familiar! Maybe because she saw his photos just for once, but she was sure that she didn't have any memory of the famous actor's face.
Aston stood before Nicole and remove his sunglasses to reveal his captivating ocean blue eyes. "Hello, Miss Chairwoman. We meet again." He flashed a perfect smile which many women would die to witness in person!
Surprise was an understatement to describe Nicole's feeling! It was as if she was knocked down with a feather! Her feet were rooted to the spot and so was her body. Much to the actor's amusement, she cannot utter a single word either.
Aston calmly sat down and lifted his head to look at the woman who was still frozen due to the sudden revelation. "Aren't you not going to sit?" He simply asked.
Nicole closed her eyes and shook her head to snapped herself out. Then she abruptly sat on her chair.
"What is the meaning of this?" She asked.
"It's a business meeting. Did you come here without knowing the purpose of this meeting?" He simply replied, pleading innocence.
"Are you really Aston Kang?" She inquired again.
"Do you think I'm a liar? Want me to show my ID card?" His lips curved into an amusing smile.
To be honest, he thought that she would already know him by now. But he had no idea that she would come here without even looking at his personal details! 'What a strange businesswoman!' He thought to himself.

"Then why did you come here alone? Where is your manager or anyone from your agency?"
Was this an interview or what? Why did she have so many questions?! All those answers to her questions can be easily found on the internet!
He sighed as it had been a while since he comes across someone who didn't know him at all. Maybe he had already being used to recognize.
"For your information, I don't have an agency for now. I left my agency a month ago and I still don't decide on a new agency. And about my manager, he needs to wrap up things for me in the filming site. You may not know but I came here as soon as I finished filming." He explained to her in detail.
The woman continued to look at her with a suspicious face which he was not pleased with. "Do you think that I deliberately come here alone? I'm Aston Kang. Who do you think I am?" He scoffed but meant the other, which the woman did not notice.
"I don't even say that," Nicole said yet still finds it hard to believe that this meeting was a pure coincidence. Besides, this was the same man who asked her whether he could like her just last night! Not to mention that twenty-four hours hadn't even passed since those words came out of his lips.
"Good then. Let's get down to business." He said with a seemingly innocent smile which almost made the Chairwoman rolled her eyes at him. 'What a sly man!' she thought to herself.
After the waitress brought in the food that they ordered, they started talking about the contract.
"It's good enough." Aston's eyes scanned through the pages of a draft contract then he tilted his head to her. "Let's finalize the contract tomorrow."
Nicole raised a brow at his words. "Tomorrow? Why not tonight?"
"I want to talk to my manager and besides," a wolfish smile plastered his face. "I don't bring my seal with me."
"What?!" She gasped. "Are you kidding me? This is not a light matter."
A light chuckle escaped from Aston's lips. "We only have a meeting to discuss the details and now that I have no problem with it, we can set another date to actually sign the contract." He clarified. "Besides, didn't you know that this is my nature? I tend to be positive and playful all the time."
"Oh! You will not know. I forgot that you didn't even know me." He answered his own question with a teasing smile.
Nicole clenched her fist which was not visible due to the table and inwardly telling herself to remain calm. 'Don't mind him. Just ignore him.' She thought to herself. She never met a celebrity who was as talkative as this man!
"Fine. Tomorrow? That's it. You can call my secretary and inform her of the time." She glanced at her watch and her fiance on the outside came to her mind. "I'm a bit hurry. I'll get going then. Thanks for your time, Mr. Kang." She handed him a copy of the contract draft and rose from her seat, trying to take a step towards the door until she heard him.
"Wait. We finished talking about business, but we still have another topic which is not even mentioned yet." Aston lifted his head and looked at her. His playful and carefree face was replaced by a determined one with the tone of his voice adding more tension to the solemn aura.
Pausing her movement, she asked, "What do you want from me?"
He rose from his seat and with his tall height, he easily towered over her. "I want to continue our conversation last night." He demanded with his eyes fixated on the woman, reading her every single expression.....
