Currently, the Michaels had a large number of funds coming in. They were already at the same level as Wynn. Both of them had 30 percent of the stock rights each! There were two main shareholders in the company now.

Houston Michaels from the Michael family and Wynn.

The day Philip was discharged, Nina Jacques was the one who picked him up. It was arranged by Wynn.

Since Wynn was busy responding to Houston's cheap tricks, she could only ask her new secretary Nina to pick Philip up.

"Hello, Nina."

Philip grinned and said in an easy-going manner. However, when he saw Nina, he frowned. He kept feeling like he had seen this woman somewhere.

Who was she?

Philip could not remember, so he gave up.

Nina was wearing a cream-colored office suit, but she still looked like a typical woman from the sunny south. She looked as if she had just walked out of a painting.

Her long black hair was resting on her shoulders. Her skin was as white as milk and it was glowy. Her features were petite yet delicate even though her face was small. Her eyes were as mesmerizing as a moon reflected in the limpid autumn waters.

She stood next to Philip, and Philip felt as if the air around him had become fresher.

She was so beautiful. A woman in an ink and wash painting was nothing compared to her.

His wife put too much trust in him. She even let this kind of ethereal beauty come to pick him up from the hospital.

Philip thought Nina had driven to the hospital to pick him up. Who knew that she came here by bus.

What was going on?

Did he make Wynn angry?

When he got on the bus, Nina's beauty attracted everyone's attention.

Philip followed behind her and felt as if he was locked in by a few pairs of eyes.

There were no more seats on the bus. Plus, there were a lot of people getting on at this stop, so the bus was very crowded. Nina chose to stand near the door and held onto the ring dangling from above.

Philip was behind her. He spotted a few tattooed young men trying to stand closer to her. Their eyes were glinting ominously.

He smirked and snorted. Then, he walked over while holding the rings and pushed the tattooed young man to the back rudely.

That tattooed young man flared at Philip instantly. When he saw that Philip was bigger than him, he backed away to one side slowly.

Then, Philip did not care whether Nina was comfortable with this or not. He stood behind her directly and used his body to create a safe space for her.

That was his wife's assistant, after all. It should be fine if he took care of her.

Nina's body tensed up, and she furrowed her brows. When she was about to say something, she saw Philip winking at her and smiling. "It's fine, don't worry. I'm here, so you won't be harassed by those people."

Nina looked at the lustful eyes of the men on the bus and frowned slightly.

She knew what their gaze meant. She had been harassed by perverts when she was on the bus before. However, she would always keep one eye closed.

However, the biggest pervert right now was Philip!

That horrible guy!

He was married and was Madam Johnston's husband.

Did he want to act like a hero and use this opportunity to molest her?

He was just like how they described him in the office. He was a useless bum indeed.

Now, she wanted to add a few more descriptions for him. He was a pervert, a vile character, and a hypocrite!

Nina glared at him angrily and shifted her body forward. She wanted to keep some distance between her and Philip.

This was her first time being so close to a person of the opposite gender. She was feeling uncomfortable. With the bumpy ride, she kept feeling some unwanted touches coming from him! Nina's hand gripped the ring tightly. She wanted to get rid of the weird presence behind her. She could feel that her breathing was getting more rapid. Even her face was heating up. She was not a 13 or 14-year-old girl who did not know anything. She knew what that was. That was the male...

However, it was as if Philip was nailed to the floor of the bus. He was rooted behind her.

Philip was feeling helpless. He felt troubled.

The inside of the bus was too crowded. He was not doing it on purpose. He figured that a misunderstanding was about to happen.

What if Nina reported this back to Wynn? His life would be over.

Nina was feeling frustrated and annoyed.

"Can... Can you back away a bit?"

Nina said shyly through gritted teeth. Her face was as red as a tomato.

"I-I'll try."

Philip was ashamed. He tried to scoot backward and eventually, he bumped into someone.

"What are you doing? What? Why are you squeezing me?"

A middle-aged woman shrieked instantly.

In a blink of an eye, there were all kinds of curses and accusations on the bus.

"I'm sorry, I had no choice. We're almost at the next stop."

It was human nature. No one could avoid this.

When Nina heard this, she pushed a strand of her hair behind her hair. Her ears were red.

What was going on with this guy? Could he not feel it?

Was he doing this on purpose?

Damn it!

What a hypocrite! He was putting on such a good act!

Nina gritted her teeth angrily. She swore she would expose Philip's vile behavior. Moreover, she also wanted to tell Madam Johnston about this!

"Right, Nina, have I seen you somewhere before?" Suddenly, Philip asked.

Nina shuddered slightly. There was coldness reflected in her eyes.
