Escaped My Ex, Got Snatched by His Rival - Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Never say Never
“I am not selling my body,” Ari stated firmly before the man could make an offer. She curtly refused him and hoped that he would not even consider offering her a suggestion that would step on her bottom line.

Nicolai rolled his eyes. He looked half amused and half exasperated. “I was going to suggest you to start working as a doctor. How could you be so dirty-minded, Pallas? Don’t tell me that you think of my c*ck before you go to sleep, how come you jumped to that conclusion?” He asked with a hint of interest in his eyes.

Realizing that she had misjudged him, Ari pursed her lips. She then pretended as if she had not heard the rest of his sentence and said to him, “I would have done that if I could, however, I have lost the opportunity to do an internship and no one will accept me after three years of gap as my hands have lost the precision and skill.”

There were a lot of considerations when it came to the medical field. Not just anyone could become an angel in white.

“Are you forgetting that I have a cousin? Who is a doctor?” Nicolai scoffed, he raised his nose high and looked at Ari. “I can slide you under him as his student. No matter what, you can never find a doctor as skilled as my cousin. He might be a pain in the bottom, but his skills are no joke.”

Ari knew that Nicolai was correct, everyone in the Lonest City praised Aiden Dimitri’s medical skills. If possible, she really was keen to learn medical ethics and skills from Aiden, but that man was like the star in the sky, praised by all while she was a pebble on the side of the street.

Thus, even though they met with one another every second day, she never asked Aiden to become her teacher.

“Will he agree?” Ari asked a bit hesitant.

“Weren’t you the top student of your department?” Nicolai asked without answering her question. Ari paused upon hearing his question and nodded, she did not know how Nicolai knew that she was the top student in her department, but she did not question him.

“Then it’s easy,” Nicolai rolled the window off his side and then turned the ignition of his car on. “My cousin likes those who are smart and brainiac. Just send me your result I will get him to agree.” Either by hook or by crook, added Nicolai.

Hearing his confident tone, Ari felt a bit uncomfortable. She didn’t understand why Nicolai was good to her. At the same time, Ari wondered if he would treat her this well if he were to know what kind of person she was.

She pursed her lips and quietly questioned, “Why are you doing this?” Her voice was so quiet that if Nicolai had not trained his senses ever since he was a child, he wouldn’t have heard her voice. He did not look at her instead he calmly stated, “You know the reason Pallas.”

His words caused Ari to stiffen, and she turned to look at him. She stated coldly, “I am not going to sleep with you, Mister De Luca.”

If he thought that this would make her stance towards him soften and have s*x with him, Nicolai had another thing coming.

“No? What a shame. I swear my performance is better than any adult star,” Nicolai boasted with a chuckle. He parked his car in front of her apartment building, “And you know what Pallas?”

“What?” Ari asked when he trailed off instead of continuing.

“Never say never.”

****

“No. Never…ever.” Aiden stated as he looked at his cousin. He knew that Nicolai had lost his mind, but he did not think that he had lost his head to this degree.

“What do you mean by never? Look at her qualifications! She is amazing, if you teach her then you will certainly have a wonderful student, did you not often complain that all the students that you have taught are stupid?” Nicolai confronted his cousin as he chased after him. He came to a stop in front of Aiden and stated, “She is smart, skilled and has a bunch of A+++s what else do you want?”

Aiden frowned and said, “It seems like you are forgetting that she is also the ex-wife of Noah Nelson. Do you understand what it means to continue entangling with her? What if Noah thinks that you are aiming for his ex-wife, do you think he will let us have a moment of rest? Do you know how Noah had always targeted you? So is there a reason for you to give him more reasons to haunt you?”

Though he understood why Nicolai was doing this, Aiden did not wish to get involved in between. They might be on par with the Nelson’s but at the same time they had their weaknesses as well, if Noah was to grasp hold of even one, then he would not spare them.

Aiden’s words made sense, but Nicolai was intent on his words. A soft sigh escaped Aiden’s lips and he asked the young man,

“Nico, have you forgotten what I told you the last time?”

Even though he had asked Nicolai to stay away from Ari, it did not seem like he had taken a single word to his heart.

Nicolai paused before saying, “I am not asking you to hook me up with her, she owes me money and I want her to repay it as quickly as possible. Is there something wrong with it?”

“Yes!” Three voices said at the same time.

Zayden, who was lying on the couch, looked up from the chaotic game he was playing and stated firmly, “You are not someone who cares about whether or not someone would be able to pay back their debts. It’s simply bamboozling to think that you are actually pleading with Aiden to take her in for an internship. Out with it Nico, what’s going on? I thought we were done and dusted with the matter of Nelson’s ex-wife?”
