Jose Floyd's cold voice came from the doorway, "Nicole, I don't want to hear this again today, and I don't like you being a smartass!"
Jose Floyd disappeared at the doorway, leaving Nicole's mind in a haze.
"What a strange man! Trying to help him and he gives me a cold shoulder, his face is so chilly, he might as well be an ice lolly!" Nicole muttered to herself, pulling the covers over her head to sleep.
Meanwhile, Jose Floyd returned to his study, remembering what Nicole said earlier, causing both his eyes and heart to flare up with anger.
He hadn't touched her, yet she suggested he go out for fun?
Was she implying he had another woman somewhere else?
Why was he so furious?! Why did he feel like strangling her?!
——
The first time the two had a little conflict, in the morning, Nicole came out of her room just as Jose Floyd emerged from the study.
"Jose, good morning."
