Her voice was a mix of charm and menace, wrapping around Lowes mind and ears.
Lowe backed away until he hit the door, cornered with no escape.
Seeing the glass bottle pressed against Nicoles neck, Lowe screamed, Stop! Stop Please Dont stab! Dont stab Please!
He had surrendered. This woman was too crazy for him to handle. He couldnt deal with her.
If Vicki was a bitch hiding her true nature with a gentle facade, then Nicole was a poisonous scorpion, direct and intense in her threat.
Lowe was on the verge of tears. Why were all these women so terrifying? He couldnt handle them. He wanted to go home. He really did.
Nicole didnt push the bottle further, but she didnt let go either.
She knew she was reaching her limit and might collapse. If Lowe realized she was bluffing, he might do something drastic. She was waiting for the decisive moment. This time, she had to win. She couldnt afford to lose.

Lowe was sent flying onto the sofa, crying out in pain. What the hell! Which bastard kicked me! Are you blind?
Ouch Ouch He groaned in pain. Not only had he failed to have any fun, but now he was also kicked flying. It really hurt. Why was he so unlucky?
A tall, imposing figure walked in. The man had long legs, wore a single-breasted coat, and exuded a sharp, commanding presence.
An hour ago, as Jemma was about to leave, Nicole stopped her. Jemma
She hesitated.
Whats wrong? Jemma turned to face Nicole with a serious expression.
Um, I might run into some trouble later. I need your help with something, Nicole explained.
Jemma gazed at Nicole intently. What seems to be the problem?
Jemma paused, reflecting. Having been in this industry for too long, she felt something amiss with Nicoles seeming dedication. Nicole hadnt fully recovered yet. Was any client this important? Plus, this job was not Nicoles livelihood. Did it demand such commitment?
A sudden realization struck Jemma. Is it the client in the chamber?
Nicoles silence confirmed her suspicion.
Seizing Nicoles wrist, Jemmas anxiety was palpable. You shouldnt go then. Youre not well. Go home for some rest. Ill manage this.
Holding Jemmas hand, Nicole replied, I cant dodge this forever. Austin needs me, and so does his nanny. Its time I took a stand, or Ill regret it.
Her voice steady, Nicole continued, I need you now. Could you help me?
The trust Nicole placed in Jemma was profound, a testament to the inherent kindness that Nicole recognized in her, a kindness that could not stay concealed.
