<h4>Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Vincent Lancaster’s Kindness</h4>


    Millie Langley heard Vincent Lancaster’s words, and she quietly nced at Nina Sinir before finally recounting the incident.


    It was exactly as Nina Sinir had just guessed.


    She overheard Rhonda and Rochelle Aldridge badmouthing her behind her back, and out of anger, she retaliated with a few words. Unexpectedly, they mocked her instead.


    Vincent Lancaster’s face fell after he listened.


    He turned to Rhonda and Rochelle, and said coldly, "We do not tolerate gossiping about colleagues in our department. You’ll receive a major demerit this time, and your bonus for this month will be deducted. If it happens again, there will be severe punishment!"


    Nina Sinir showed a surprised expression in her eyes, unaware of why Vincent Lancaster suddenly helped her, as in her impression, he wasn’t the kind-hearted type.


    It was fortunate enough that he didn’t kick her when she was down.


    She couldn’t help but give Vincent Lancaster another nce. He noticed her gaze and gave her a faint smile, appearing warm and friendly.


    Nina Sinir couldn’t help but shiver.


    She felt uneasy in her heart; what exactly did Vincent Lancaster intend to do?


    The punished Rhonda and Rochelle turned pale, their entire demeanor deted, nothing like their previous arrogance.


    Vincent Lancastermanded, "Get back to work!"


    Rhonda and Rochelle dared not linger, immediately turning around to leave.


    Millie Langley also followed them out, and naturally, Nina Sinir didn’t want to be alone with Vincent Lancaster in the break room. She was nning to follow Millie Langley out but was grabbed by Vincent Lancaster, "Nina, can we talk?"


    Nina Sinir tensed with resistance, "Manager Lancaster, I don’t think we have anything to talk about."


    Her formal address ced distance between their rtionship.


    Vincent Lancaster wasn’t discouraged; he remained steadfast as he said, "Didn’t you say you forgave me that day? Can’t we talk as friends now?"


    Nina Sinir felt a bit nauseous hearing this.


    Who wants to be friends with you!


    Where did Vincent Lancaster get the confidence to think that after everything he did, she could be his friend without any qualms?


    Nina Sinir sneered, "We’re not friends, and I don’t want to talk to you."


    Vincent Lancaster didn’t get angry at Nina Sinir’s attitude, remained calm and gentle, saying softly, "Even if you don’t speak, you can listen to me. I indeed have something important to tell you."


    If he continued to tug her like this, there would probably be new rumors spreading from Elysian tomorrow. Nina Sinir lowered her gaze to where he held her wrist, "Release me first."


    Vincent Lancaster let go of Nina Sinir.


    She didn’t n to run away, just stood at the doorway to maintain some distance, then looked at Vincent Lancaster from afar, asking, "You can speak now."


    A trace of apology appeared on Vincent Lancaster’s refined face, and he said in a remorseful tone, "Nina, it was my fault in the past. I didn’t mean to hurt you. I’ve regretted and med myself every day, and I’ve long wanted to apologize to you..."


    Nina Sinir listened to Vincent Lancaster’s words expressionlessly.


    If before when she found out what happened between Vincent Lancaster and Sierra Sinir, he had sincerely spoken to her like this, instead of tossing her a check with sarcasm, she thought maybe she wouldn’t hate him so much.


    Now hearing these words again, her mood showed no fluctuation.


    Unconsciously, her heart seemed to have been reced by someone else.


    The feeling at this moment made Nina Sinir more determined to make Julian Lancaster fall in love with her; she wanted him!
