My Destiny Is To Become Billionaire’s Wife

Chapter 57: Ansel refused to meet Erica



Finally, the much-awaited day has arrived-Nika’s date with Erica. Nika has planned dinner, a movie, and a walk, but everything depends on Erica’s agreement. If she doesn’t agree, then it will just be a normal movie session between them. Nika has left work early to have time to prepare and impress Erica. He is currently tidying up his desk, storing important documents in a locked cabinet, and bringing the others home to deal with later. The appointment is at 8 p. m., and it is only 5 p. m., but Nika is very excited to see Erica soon.

It would be dishonest to say that Nika doesn’t have feelings for Erica. However, he doesn’t want to pursue anything with her, knowing that she has a crush on Ansel. Moreover, Ansel also seems to have romantic feelings for Erica. Nika’s priority is to confirm Ansel’s feelings for Erica. He tries to encourage and even provoke Ansel to approach Erica bravely. If Ansel does approach Erica and she is accepted, Nika will step back and be happy for both of them. But if Ansel doesn’t or Erica rejects him, Nika won’t hesitate to pursue Erica himself. Nika has made this decision because he wants everyone to be happy and to avoid a complicated love triangle between himself, Ansel, and Erica.

“Niko had just finished cleaning when a call came in. He quickly took his phone out of his pocket and saw that it was his mother calling.

“I wonder what’s up with my mom’s call,” Niko thought before answering the phone.

“What’s up, Mom?” Niko asked, sitting back in the chair behind him.

“Niko, there’s something important I need to tell you. Can you come to my house tonight?” Niko’s mother’s voice came through the phone immediately. Upon hearing this, Niko was a little surprised. Why such a coincidence? He didn’t expect to receive such an urgent and pressing request. Now what should he do? Niko didn’t want to refuse his mother’s request, but at the same time, he didn’t want to cancel his date with Erica.

“What’s so important? You could tell me over the phone,” Niko suggested.

“No, it has to be said in person,” Niko’s mother insisted, sounding serious.

“I’m sorry, Mom. I have other important things to attend to tonight and can’t come to your house,” Niko said after a minute of deliberation. He tried very hard to explain to his mother, “If you have something to tell me, you can leave it for later.”

“But it’s a family matter. Your father requested your presence,” Niko’s mother said sternly. ”

Nika felt very conflicted in this situation. He had been planning his date with Erica for a long time and did not want to disappoint her. However, he also knew that family was very important and that there could be something that needed to be resolved right away.

“I understand, Mom. I will come to your house.” Nika finally agreed and replied.

“Good, hurry up.” Nika’s mother spoke with a satisfied tone. Nika could feel her mother’s cheerful smile through the phone.

“Yes, I know,” Nika replied wearily. Then the phone call ended.

Nika unconsciously sighed. He felt anxious and guilty about Erica not being able to make it to their prearranged date. He thought that calling Erica to inform her that he couldn’t make it was the right thing to do, but a sudden idea sparked in Nika’s head as he remembered Ansel. Nika believed that this was a good opportunity to help Ansel determine the feelings he had for Erica.

With excitement, Nika quickly met with Ansel. Luckily for Nika, Ansel was still at work. When meeting Ansel, Nika quietly looked at him for a while, as if probing. Nika’s behavior made Ansel feel uncomfortable.

“What’s up with you? Just tell me.” Ansel took his eyes off the computer screen, looked straight at Nika, and asked with curiosity.

“Actually, I need your help with something.” Nika hesitated, choosing his words to begin. Nika realized that he should not reveal his idea too hastily.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“What is it?” Ansel asked seriously, without bothering to consider or think about the difficulty Nika was facing.

“The thing is, the last time I had a date with Erica, we had dinner and watched a movie,” Nika slowly explained. Hearing this, Ansel immediately felt a bit uneasy and nervous. He had known about this before, but he had tried to forget it and focus on work. Unexpectedly, Nika brought it up again. Ansel didn’t know if Nika did it on purpose or not. Did Nika want to test Ansel’s reaction? If so, Ansel had to continue to pretend to be cold and distant, or else his true emotions might be exposed.

“So what? Why did you tell me that?” Ansel asked indifferently. He also seemed quite annoyed when Nika brought up her personal affairs. If it had been about work, Ansel might have been eager to listen. Suddenly, Nika talked about dating, and on top of that, dating Erica, the girl who was confusing Ansel’s heart. No wonder Ansel could only accept it calmly.

“I just received a phone call from my mom, saying that there is an emergency at home, and she asked me to come back immediately. So, I can’t make it to the date with Erica. I want to ask if you can help me meet Erica.” Nika sincerely asked Ansel for help. Are there any places where the wording could be improved? Could you translate it into English with correct spelling, grammar, and expression?

After hearing Nika’s plan, Ansel furrowed his brow in a natural reaction. He found Nika’s words to be ridiculous and hard to accept. Carefully observing the expression on Nika’s face, Ansel thought that Nika was intentionally coming up with this plan. The purpose remained the same, which was to force Ansel to make a firm decision based on his heart’s desire.

Ansel knew that Nika had good intentions and wanted to help. However, truthfully, Ansel didn’t know what to do. Should he follow Nika’s words or do the opposite?

Ansel was struggling with his innermost thoughts. He felt it challenging to make a decision and was afraid that his decision might cause discomfort and harm to Erica and Desi. He was also struggling to find a solution to his emotions towards Erica.

“Nika, I understand how you feel, but I’m not sure if I can help you. I’m busy with my work,” Ansel refused bluntly after contemplating.

“So, what should I do now? Erica will be very disappointed if I can’t make it to our date,” Nika said, feigning guilt and regret. “She has been looking forward to watching her favorite movie.”

“Perhaps you can reschedule with Erica on another day. I believe she will understand and be sympathetic to you,” Ansel reassured Nika.

“Can you really not help me, Ansel?” Nika confirmed it seriously.

“I’m sorry,” Ansel said gently, turning back to his computer. Ansel pretended as if Nika was no longer there, and he no longer stared at him.

Nika couldn’t believe that Ansel was so stubborn and obstinate. It seemed that Ansel’s defensive stance was very solid. Perhaps Nika had to give up. Nika didn’t want to make things difficult for Ansel anymore. Nika thanked Ansel and left the room. Nika decided to call Erica.

“I’m sorry, Erica. There was a little incident, and I couldn’t make it to our appointment,” Nika said apologetically.

“No problem at all, Nika. We can reschedule for another time,” Erica said cheerfully, making Nika feel much better.

“Thank you for your understanding. I promise to make it up to you,” Nika pledged.

“You don’t have to do that, Nika,” Erica reassured him. “Okay, I’ll hang up now.”

The call ended, and Nika hurried back to his parents’ house to see what was going on and try to solve the problem. Meanwhile, feeling relieved that the appointment was canceled, Erica decided to go to the movies alone. She didn’t necessarily need someone to be with her. That was Erica’s personal viewpoint.
