"What do you mean?"
Nicole asked with a sullen face.
Pedro said sarcastically, "What? Don't you pretend to be foolish in front of me after your crew ate our
fruits? If you really wanted to get rid of us, you shouldn't have eaten the fruit. Do you know how much
the fruit cost to deliver by air?"
Not until now did Nicole know who sent the fruit in her name. It turned out to be Zayn.
If she knew from the beginning that the fruit was bought by Zayn, Nicole would not have received it.
Now that she was mocked by Pedro in vain, Nicole was cross.
"How much does the fruit cost? I'll transfer the money to you. By the way, ask Zayn not to do such
things anymore. I won't care about his kindness."
As she spoke, Nicole took out her phone and prepared to transfer money.
Pedro sneered, "What? Do you think Zayn is man short of money?"
"What do you mean? What exactly do you want?"
Olivia really wanted to give Pedro a kick.
What a weirdo he was!
He hurried to give gifts, but now he came to ask for favors.
Pedro didn't even look at Olivia and said mockingly, "You're not qualified to talk to me. Not to mention
that you're not famous yet. Even if you're famous, you have to be at the same class as Zayn before
you're qualified to talk to me."
These words were simply too insulting.
Nicole's face clouded over.
"Is this your word or Zayn's word?"
"Is there a difference? I'm his manager."
"Alright, from now on, I promise not to have any contact with Zayn. Is 100 thousand enough for the
fruit?"
After Nicole finished speaking, she directly transferred the money to Pedro and took the screenshot as
evidence.
"You..."
Pedro didn't expect Nicole to do what she said so quickly. The notice from PayPal made him
distressed.
"Nicole, there's no need to be so extreme, right? We're all in the same circle, and we can always meet
each other. Why do you have to...?”
"Sorry, I have to leave now."
Nicole didn't listen to what Pedro said and directly pushed him away. Then she pulled Olivia and left.
Olivia felt that Nicole was so cool at this moment.
"Nicole, you were really awesome just now."
"Zayn is simply a plague. Every time I met him, something unhappy happened. This time I lost another
100 thousand. I will remember the name and avoid him when I see or hear him in the circle."
A trace of disgust flashed through Nicole's eyes.
She really didn't like Zayn's way of doing things.
Olivia said worriedly, "What if we fight for the same resource? You know, I'm still infamous right now. I
don't have the power to fight for resources with a big shot like Zayn."
"Then we refuse it. I don't believe that you can't make a debut."
Olivia agreed with Nicole's words and nodded.
"That's right. I will support you."
"Let's go and eat something delicious."
Nicole was in a bad mood, and she planned to take Olivia out to eat something palatable.
Olivia was a foodie herself, so she naturally had no objections to such a suggestion. However, she said
teasingly, "You come to have dinner with me. Then what about Samuel?"
Nicole was slightly stunned.
She hadn't returned for a day, and she didn't know if Samuel had left.
Nicole didn't know what the relationship between Samuel and her was, and she was too lazy to think
about that. Now Samuel didn't give her any message, so he should have left, right?
Nicole stopped thinking about it and said, "Forget him. Let's enjoy ourselves."
"Hey, you are not putting him as the top priority now. But why do I feel so strange?"
Olivia sincerely hoped that Nicole could live a good life. However, she didn't know how long the cold
war between Nicole and Samuel would last, so she was anxious.
Nicole smiled, "It's time for me to live for myself. Since he doesn't confess to me, why shouldn't I be
mad at him?"
"That's right. Why can't I feel you guys in the cold war? Or aren't you angry with Samuel now?"
"How can I not be angry with him? My child is gone because of it. No matter for what purpose he is
hiding from me, I won't forgive him easily. I've also thought about the relation between him and me. I've
always been standing behind him and putting him as my priority. I almost lost myself. In the end, when I
wanted to know something, I suddenly realized that all the people around me were his people. I
couldn't even get a single piece of the information what I wanted to know if he didn't want me to know.
This feeling was really bad. Even if I want to stay with him in the future, I will still have to be a woman
who can fight beside him, not a woman who is protected by him when he is in trouble. At the moment I
lost my child, I suddenly felt like I was like a canary kept by him. If one day he doesn't love me, will I be
able to survive in this society without him?"
Olivia was stunned by Nicole's words.
"Samuel has a deep affection for you. You should know that."
"I used to think so, but it was only when he was with that woman and the lipstick mark on the collar of
his shirt appeared that I came to realize the fact. Even if he didn't cheat this time, and he had his
reasons, I had still felt panicked and heartbroken. I can't imagine how long a man's affection for a
woman can last. Perhaps because we have children, it may last a little longer, but no one knows how
far the love can exist. If I still live like a princess in an ivory tower, how am I supposed to deal with the
day when he doesn't love me?"
Hearing what Nicole said, Olivia was completely shocked.
She had never believed that Nicole would speak these words.
She knew the love between Nicole and Samuel better than anyone else, so when Nicole said that their
love might vanish, she felt it was impossible.
"You've experienced life and death, so no other woman can casually replace you in his heart, right?"
Nicole shrugged and said in a low voice, "We experienced life and death together when we were still
closely intertwined. If another ten years pass and I don't move forward, there will be long distance
between both of us. For the sake of experiencing life and death together, perhaps he will not abandon
me, but he will not love me then. I don't want him to be indifferent to the affection or tired of it in ten
years. Instead, if he doesn't leave me alone just because of the period in which we go through life and
death, then that will be too pitiful for me. I would rather be tired now and do something extraordinary to
stand with him shoulder to shoulder. When I go out, I don't want others to only remember that I am Mrs.
Green. I hope that they can call me Nicole rather than call me Mrs. Green. I want everyone to know
that I am a woman who can match Samuel.
Olivia saw a lot from Nicole's eyes.
"Nicole, you've changed."
"Everyone will change. I only know that my affection for him has not changed. After experiencing all
these matters, I originally thought that I could forget him. However, I can't forget him yet. Especially
when I know that he still keeps fidelity to me but just keeps a secret from me, I am surer that I want to
make a name for myself in the entertainment industry. Otherwise, I would be sorry for myself."
Nicole patted Olivia on the shoulder and smiled, "Let's go and eat. After we finish eating, let's go back
and practice again. The end of your second song isn't very good."
Olivia immediately got disappointed.
"Really? Why are you harsher than Michael? Why do we have to sing once again after dinner? Listen
to my voice. I'm already hoarse."
"There will always be a reward for your hard work. Don't you also want to be famous? Think about
Jacob and think about your father and your brother, do you still have a reason to be lazy?"
Nicole's words left Olivia speechless.
"Alright, you are right. Then hurry up. After we finish eating, we will continue to practice."
"Good girl!"
Nicole grabbed Olivia's arm with a smile and went to a nearby restaurant.
The two of them ordered two dishes and two bowls of ramen noodles. They ate like satisfied children.
"To be honest, I find it hard to believe that you can still eat food of roadside stalls right now."
However, Nicole smiled, "Am I so fastidious? Why can't I eat the food of stalls?"
"That's different. After all, you're Mrs. Green!"
"In the beginning, a bowl of beef noodles was a luxury for me when I was abroad."
Nicole recalls the scene when she first went abroad five years ago.
Olivia hurriedly stopped her, "Forget it, it's all over."
"Yes, it's all over. Right, what about the matter I asked you to investigate?"
Olivia sighed and said, "Naturally, all the people I know are just ordinary citizens. I asked some people
from moonlight to help. But there's no news yet. I might have to wait. Logically speaking, that woman
has been investigated by the police and there should be some information now. However, it is very
strange that any information about the woman isn't leaked yet. It seems that someone or some faction
has blocked this news. Even if I asked a friend of the police station for help, there was still no more
information."
Hearing Olivia's words, Nicole narrowed her eyes slightly.
Could it be done by Samuel?
Apart from him, she did not know who else had the ability to suppress this matter.
What exactly was that woman's identity?
Nicole became more curious about that woman's identity.
"Continue to investigate that matter. There will always be flaws and clues."
"Alright, but you've completely offended Zayn today. I wonder if he will do something secretly to
obstruct us in the entertainment industry in the future. You'd better pay attention. If it's against me, I
don't care. At most, I'll change my identity. But you set up a film company, and it won't be a matter of
two of us."
Olivia was a little worried for Nicole.
Nicole waved her hands and didn't care about that too much.
After eating, the two of them left the restaurant. They thought that it was not far from the Fortune
Building, so they could just walk back.
There was a small alley between the restaurant and the Fortune Building where Vehicles were not
allowed to enter. Walking through this alley could save half the time.
Nicole and Olivia chose this route. However, neither of them expected that something would happen to
the two of them just because they chose this path.
