Only you in my love
Chapter 600 Accosting

Michelle lowered her head and took another bite of the cheesecake. But then, she felt that it was flavorless, so she chewed it slowly. Seeing her lost in thought, Nina could not bring herself to ask more. "Talk to me about it whenever you're comfortable."

Michelle gave her a curt nod, which upset Nina. She wanted to talk about something that Michelle might find interesting. "Mimi, how about you take a few photos of me? Am I qualified to be your model?" Nina asked, blinking her eyes at her.

"Of course you are, Nini! You're the most gorgeous woman that I have ever met. You're going to look good, regardless of how bad I click your photos," Michelle replied with a bright smile. Nina heaved a sigh of relief.

Michelle finally smiled.

"Then we'll do a photo-shoot real soon!" Although a part of her said that because she wanted to comfort Michelle, another part of her wanted to get her photos clicked. That way, she would always be able to cherish her beauty, even after she had grown old. "I am afraid we can't do it today, though. My camera broke, but thankfully, it was not the camera from the studio," Michelle said as she pointed to the camera bag with a pout.

Upon seeing her long face, Nina suddenly felt as though she had said something wrong. "You know what? I will buy you a new one."

"No, thanks. The man who was the reason my camera broke told me that he will buy me a new one tomorrow," Michelle said in a serious tone.

"So, was it someone else who broke it?" Nina asked.

"Well, although he was the reason the camera fell and broke, I should have been more careful, so I also blame myself," Michelle said with a sigh. Nina was confused. "So who do you blame?" she asked.

"I blame him, of course! He was the one who startled me." Michelle tried to remember that morning's events. "I had been to BL Alley four years ago. It was a beautiful place where couples displayed the most unfiltered form of love, so I wanted to go there today to shoot some photos. I found a nice spot and sat down as I waited for the light. That's when..."

Michelle stopped mid-sentence, and Nina immediately understood that that was when she must have met the man who broke her camera.

"Before the light came, a man came out of nowhere. He looked so scary, I was terrified. He was so scary-looking.

He looked so fierce, it felt as though I had borrowed millions of dollars' worth of money from him and did not pay him back. When he saw me, he bent over and sniffed my hair. I tried to balance myself and accidentally pulled the tripod over, thus making my camera fall." Michelle description of the incident was so vivid that Nina almost felt like she had seen it in person.

She then took a sip of the tea and asked, "But why did he smell your hair, though?"

"I found it strange, too. So I asked him and he said that I smelled like one of his favorite smells. It scared me so much that I was afraid to ask any more questions. I thought that he would bite me if I did," Michelle replied, patting her chest. She was trembling with fear, even though it was something that had happened much before.

However, Nina was certain that he was trying to accost her.

She could not help feel that it was odd as she had only seen men ask a girl's number or name politely if they seemed to be interested in her. She had never heard of a man smelling a woman's body in public.

But then, she also thought that he must be looking for someone.

"Then what happened? Did he harass you?" Nina asked.

"He didn't and I'm not that easy to intimidate. I told him the brands of shower gels that I've used," Michelle said proudly.

Nina burst into laughter as she teased, "You literally buy every shower gel that looks cute or comes in a nice package. I hope you didn't just..."

She could not say more as she figured that Michelle must have told the man the brand of every shower gel that one would find at a supermarket.

If he was smart, then he would not end up buying all brands of shower gels in the supermarket.

"Did he leave after he said that he would buy you a new camera?"

"No. He still talked to me. He asked me what my name was, and where I studied or worked. It felt like a background check, so I didn't give him any information." Upon hearing that, Nina heaved a sigh of relief. After all, Michelle had acted smartly.

"Wasn't I being smart?" Michelle asked with a smile.

Nina took the opportunity to praise Michelle and said, "You were absolutely brilliant! You know well that you need to protect yourself against those you don't know."

Hearing that, Michelle laughed and replied, "But he kept asking, and yet, I couldn't answer. He looked so fierce, I was afraid that he was going to hurt me. I told him that I came to Lexingport City to attend the wedding of a good friend, and that I would leave after the wedding. I didn't say anything more, and he left soon after."

Nina leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I think that man is a gang leader, who has many followers. They look like they are skilled in fighting."

Nina then thought of her words.

All of a sudden, a possibility flashed through her mind.

'Could he be a follower of Tim?' she wondered.

She decided to find out, or else Michelle's safety could be under threat.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here for you."

"Thank you, Nini," Michelle said with a smile as she finished the rest of her desert platter.

Nina did not have a sweet-tooth, so Michelle ate for both of them as she did not like to waste food.

Once they were done, Michelle held Nina's hand as they went to a mall for shopping. Neither of them knew that they were being followed.

However, once Nina was starting to become suspicious, their stalker seemed to have disappeared.

She did not know if that person was following her or Michelle, but she knew that she could not let her guard down.

Nina called Richard and asked him to send two bodyguards for Michelle's protection.

The bodyguards stayed with Michelle for two days, observing if there were any suspicious people around her, but there seemed to be nothing unusual.

Either her stalker had become vigilant or Nina had just acted out of paranoia. However, there was also the possibility that they were stalking Nina and not Michelle.

John asked his men to continue protecting Michelle while he ordered a few more bodyguards to protect Nina as well.

However, the man who had been following had sensed that he had been found out, so he stopped stalking Michelle.

His name was Victor Ding. He was Tim's assistant, who was beat by Amy and sent to a hospital.

After seeing that Michelle had a few bodyguards for her protection, he withdrew himself from stalking her and reported it to Tim.

"Sir, do you know who went shopping with the girl you like that day?" Victor asked.

"Would I be waiting for you to tell me if I already knew?" Tim asked as he glared at him.

Victor remained fearless as he replied with a grin, "She is Mr. Shi's wife. Don't you think that it's odd that he sent men to protect the girl you like? I inquired about it and finally got an answer.

The girl you like is called Michelle He. She went to college with Mr. Shi's wife at Lexingport City. She said that she was here to attend a friend's wedding. I think that wedding is Mr. Shi's. It is supposed to be held at the end of the month, but no one knows about the location where it is supposed to take place."

"Michelle...I like her name. It sounds good," Tim said with a smile.

"I think you two would make a nice couple," Victor said with a grin.

Even though Tim was smiling, he looked scary.

"Fuck off! She's mine, not yours, so stop grinning like an idiot!" Tim yelled as he kicked Victor in the ass.

Victor rubbed his butt to ease the pain and asked, "So that girl is the one who saved you? Not Vivian?"
