Chapter 51 The Pretend Lover

• Nicole rubbed her face harshly, cursing her own stupidity. Several times, she squeezed her eyes shut as a wave of dizziness washed over her—dizziness of her own making. Honestly, Nicole had never imagined she would do something like this.
• An hour ago, Mayir had just left Nicole’s hotel room. While Mayir was there, Nicole was unbelievably stressed. Who wouldn’t be? Mayir kept bombarding her with questions about Shawn. Nicole had no idea how many lies she’d told—thousands of words, all untrue. She had no other choice. She was cornered and forced to lie.
• At that moment, only one name came to Nicole’s mind—Shawn. She didn’t know any other man she could claim as her boyfriend. Truthfully, Nicole had always avoided getting close to any man.
