Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Was her skin always this thick? Love? Yeah, right.
If she hadn't come running over with that pale face begging him like her life depended on it, he wouldn’t have been bothered! He
didn’t believe this shameless talk, and neither did the person on the other end of the phone, who even chuckled.
“Stop being stubborn.
Everyone in the family knows your type.” Nicole’s expression darkened as if she had thought of something unpleasant.
She gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white.
She lowered her eyes and gave a light laugh.
“It’s been so long, maybe you’ve forgotten.” “What?” Nicole said calmly, “My first love was a man.
I initially liked men.” Leighton, sitting next to Nicole, could hear everything clearly because she had the speaker on.
He glanced at Nicole, thinking, what kind of nonsense is this? If not a man, then what, awoman? Estelle was shocked, his mind
reeling.
Could the rumors about Nicole’s past relationships actually be true? The man on the phone scoffed.
“Don’t kid yourself.
You haven't even done a kissing scene all these years.
People in your circle say you’re high and mighty, that you keep yourself pure.
But I know you can’t stand intimate contact with a man.
Even the thought of sharing breath makes you physically sick.
How could you possibly have a boyfriend?” Nicole’s knuckles stood out as she sighed lightly.
“Didn’t Leva tell you?” “Tell me what?” “That at the launch event, I kissed my boyfriend right in front of her.” There was silence on
the other end.
Nicole continued, “I did it because I knew she wouldn’t believe it otherwise.

Just like you said, if I didn’t like him, even touching him would make me uncomfortable.
Leva, like you, knows this best.
It was with Leighton that I realized I don’t reject all men.
I really like him, and he loves me very much.” Leighton felt extremely annoyed.
He was young and handsome; she should be the one pining for him.
For the second time being dragged into her narrative, he opened his mouth to retort, “Like hell I—” love you.
But as soon as he started, Nicole twisted his thigh with such force it felt like she might tear a piece off.
The “ hell” he started to say came out in a series of odd sounds.
The man on the phone, sounding colder now, asked, “Who’s with you?” Nicole didn’t answer but instead spoke to Leighton, “No
need to practice singing in the car, right? Wait until we’re home.
I’m on the phone.
Be good, and I’ll take you for something nice to eat after.” Leighton’s curses were cut off by Nicole’s words.
Her tone was lazy and indulgent, almost affectionate.
If he hadn’t seen her expressionless face while she said those words, he would’ve thought he was seeing things.
Was she crazy or what? “That Hall family boy is with you?” The voice on the other end was full of menace.
Nicole responded with a casual “Hmm.” “Didn’t I just tell you? I accompanied him to the police station.
Someone tried to frame him, and I have to show where I stand.
He’s my man.
Anyone who messes with him will get it back tenfold from me.” The man on the other end was silent for a long time.
Nicole waited for amoment before speaking again.

“If there’s nothing else, I’l] _» “If you’re together, when will you bring him home to meet us?”
