Aston leaned towards Nicole closer and closer, until their faces were only inches apart. The way he observed her as if she was some fascinating object made the woman uncomfortable. Besides, it made her more nervous.

Did he saw through her? That shouldn't happen! Feeling anxious, she lifted her right hand and covered his eyes that were glued to her. A small smile was formed in his lips.

She rose from her seat while still covering his eyes with her palm. Then she slowly pushed him backwards. She was very careful not to hurt him as he also had a few wounds on his face.

"No more question. Just like you said to me, this is also none of your business." She finally withdrew the hand that blinded him.

He was about to say something but she was very quick to shut him. "Don't talk." She said with a warning tone. Aston kept his mouth shut and stared at her confusedly.

Nicole lifted her phone and make a call.

"Are you at the office?"

"Sent some guards to the VVIP room 2 of the Westview Hospital. As fast as possible."

Nicole ended the call and exchanged the glanced of the actor who stared at her with disbelief written all over his face.

"Are you really doing this?" Aston gasped. She couldn't be serious! Hiring guards to watch over him was the same as making him a captive!

"Why won't I?" Nicole simply asked back as she returned to her seat again.

"This is illegal! You're violating my privacy!" He strongly retorted. He already agreed to be hospitalized and she was still not satisfied with it.

"Then just sue me." She simply replied again as if getting sued was not a big deal. She dropped the nonchalant face and gazed at him with a deadly serious one. "Until I make sure that you receive all the necessary treatment, you won't step out of this room."

She was crazy! That's the only thing that came to his mind. He thought that she was a gentle puppy but she turned out to to be a cub! Maybe he was one of the many people who misjudged her due to her seemingly gentle and meek nature!

"Why would you do that? Didn't you say that you don't like me?" He asked, hoping that it would provoke her a bit. Well, he always succeeded in the past.

Nicole pursed her lips and looked at him with an annoyed face. "This has nothing to do with that." She scowled. "Did you already forget that you signed a deal with my company? We need to start working soon and for that to happen, you need to recover as fast as possible." She said to him. She didn't even know if she was telling the truth or just blabbering an excuse.

"Is that the only reason?" He examined her again but this time, he gave her a doubtful look.

"Of course. I will do the same if a stranger was in your condition." His doubtful gaze made her felt more unsure of her intention.

Aston's chuckled at her response which was too hard to believe. Did she say that she would bring a stranger to the best hospital, put him in a VVIP room, look after him personally and hired guards to watch over the stranger? He shook his head out of amusement. She should really work on her lying skills!

He was not feeling good just minutes ago. He was desperate to hide his weakness from her and he was ashamed to let her saw him in such a bad condition. But now that he thought about it, it's not bad like he imagined it to be.

Miraculously, she comforted him when she behaves this way! Besides, he loved this new side of her! With her stubborn and domineering behaviour, she resembled a little tigress.

Nicole received a call which informed her that the guards will be there any minute. "The guards are on their way. Make sure to behave while I am working. Am I clear?" She ordered him as if he was her subordinate.

Aston couldn't resist the urge to give in to her powerful voice and strong gaze. He finally nodded his head in defeat. "Do you mean that you will come again after you work?"

"Unfortunately, yes. You don't have anyone to look after you. Do I even have a choice?" She huffed. Working was already tiring enough and now, she also had a patient to look after!

Aston giggled to himself. If she would be the one to look after him, he was convinced that getting hurt was worth it!

"Just behave and don't create more problems for me. Okay?" She bluntly added. "Even without you, I already have enough on my plate." She shook her head at her unfortunate streak.

She still needs to find a way to visit the orphanage. Despite being having no time to waste, she has stuck in nursing this playful actor who was never serious!

"Argh! I really don't have time for this." She said to herself in an irritated voice which earned her a chuckle from the actor.

"You look adorable that way." He commented but his remark doesn't entertain the Chairwoman at all. Instead, he earned a sharp glare from her.

"Just shut up. Will you?" She grunted while listing down all her schedules for the day in her mind.

"Sorry." He faked an apologetic face and immediately straightened his posture.

The guards had finally reached the door of the hospital room and Nicole stepped out to give them instructions.

When Aston heard her say to the guards, "Don't let him crossed this door," he chuckled out of amusement. It seemed like the so-called villainess was very eager to tie him down!

Then, it made him wondered how she got the label? In his eyes, he was just a kind-hearted and adorable woman. He also admitted that she was very unpredictable. Her behaviour changed again and again. Sometimes she was gentle but she becomes rude and tough within a split second again!

He watched her taking her bags as she was preparing to leave. Nicole who was making her way to the door paused at once and turned around to face the actor. "Behave." She told him for the third time.

'I'm not even a little kid. I'm older than you!' He wished to tell her these words but she already left the hospital room. He can't help but chortle at her word.

Reminding herself that she was only helping out a business partner, Nicole left for her company right away.....
