"Hiss -"
Standing in the bathroom, Nicole squatted with her hands on the wall, touching her ankle.
If she really sprained her ankle, what should she do next? She couldn't turn Jacob down and go home
first.
Alas.
Nicole sighed heavily and rubbed her ankle gently, trying to relieve a little pain.
But unexpectedly, the pain seemed to spread, and the pain almost made Nicole unable to stand up.
Nicole was wearing tight skirt and couldn't squat down completely. She held the slippery wall of the
bathroom with one foot. Her legs were sore after standing for a while.
"Hello, are you in trouble?"
At this moment, Nicole heard a man's voice.
She was startled and looked towards where the sound came from. She saw a blonde foreign man
standing outside the bathroom and looking at her with worry.
Nicole smiled awkwardly and shook her head, "I'm fine."
In the man's sight, she straightened up, endured the pain from her ankle, and walked out of the
bathroom like a mermaid on the point of a knife.
"Are you really okay?" The man came after her.
Nicole leaned against the wall and started to sweat due to the pain.
"There's a rest room next door. Let me help you to sit down for a while." The man's face was full of
sincerity, without any sign of contempt.
Nicole was unwilling to accept the kindness of a stranger easily, but at this moment, she could do
nothing but listen to the man, who looked very polite.
She couldn't go out like this, which would lose Jacob's face.
The man looked at Nicole and nodded. He wanted to grab Nicole's hand, but Nicole escaped without
being noticed.
"It's okay. I can go now."
"Okay. Be careful. This way, please."
The man didn't pester her, which made Nicole relaxed. But she didn't notice the lascivious smile on the
man's face.
Actually, the rest room was a bedroom. Sitting on the sofa, Nicole bent over to rub her ankle.
She thought with her head down. If she asked the man to ask the waiter if there was any medicine,
would it be too reckless?
When Nicole was thinking about how to speak, she suddenly heard the door close.
She raised her head and saw the man with blonde hair closing the door and coming to her.
The man's blazing eyes made Nicole frown.
"You..."
"Beautiful lady, I have a crush on you because of your beauty."
The man squatted down in front of Nicole, his words and his eyes were very exposed.
Nicole flinched into the sofa and spluttered, "you... What are you talking about? "
"I like you very much."
Without being noticed by Nicole, the man took her hand and kissed on the back of it.
Nicole's heart was in her mouth, but she had no time to care about the pain in her foot. She suddenly
stood up, pushed the man away and walked out.
However, before she could reach the door, she was pulled by the man. After all, her feet were injured.
"Don't be nervous. I mean no ill will." the man was too anxious and couldn't speak Chinese fluently. So
he said in English instead, "Sorry."
However, though he said sorry, he didn't let Nicole go and kept grabbing her hands. He didn't actually
feel sorry at all.
Looking at the undisguised passion in the man's eyes, Nicole panicked. She roared with sobs, "let go of
me!"
"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you. I like you very much. You are really beautiful."
But such being the case, Nicole would never believe what the man said. She stepped on the man's foot
with her high heels, while the man was taking a breath of pain, she pushed the man away and ran out
of the room.
It was not until this moment that she realized she had never thought about the things that Jacob had
done to her. She was willing to do these things for him. At least, his attitude was completely different
from that foreign man.
It was disgusting to be touched by a stranger.
Nicole rushed into the hall with the heater on. She was relieved when she saw the table which was
surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Miss."
The man's voice appeared behind her again.
Nicole dodged reflexively but failed to keep her feet. She felt a pain in her foot and fell to the ground.
"Ah!"
A scream resounded through the hall, and the noisy mahjong table suddenly quieted down.
All of them turned their heads towards the voice source at the same time.
When she felt that everyone was looking at her, Nicole's heart missed a beat and she knew she
screwed it.
Jacob focused himself on playing cards, so he didn't notice that Nicole had left.
At this moment, the game was interrupted. Jacob lazily turned his head and looked at the direction in
which others were looking at.
All of a sudden, his pupils dilated.
How could it be Nicole!
At that moment, Jacob had no time to think about it. When he realized, he had pushed the crowd away
and rushed to Nicole.
"I'm sorry." Nicole apologized, gritting her teeth.
Why did she have to apologize?
Jacob frowned, but did not spit out his doubts. He pulled a long face and reached out to help Nicole
stand up.
Nicole thought she was pissed off by Jacob when she saw his grim face. She didn't dare to tell him that
she had almost been molested by a foreign man. Instead, she explained with embarrassment, "I I
sprained my ankle. I didn't mean to... "
"Does it hurt?" Jacob looked down at her ankle and frowned more tightly.
"No, it doesn't hurt." Nicole gave an awkward smile. "I'm fine. Go back to play. Others are watching us."
Only then did Jacob turn around to look at the people in the hall. They all stopped what they were doing
and stared at him and Nicole with different expressions.
"Come with me."
He grabbed Nicole's hand and led her to the mahjong table.
Gritting her teeth, Nicole endured the pain from her ankle and followed Jacob naturally and gracefully.
He walked to the table and ordered a waiter, "take a chair for her."
A waiter quickly brought a chair to them and arranged it with Jacob's. Jacob helped Nicole to sit down,
and then sat down himself.
People in table exchanged glances. Men looked at Nicole with suspicion, but not disdain. All women
present were all looking at Nicole with envy and jealousy.
Among all the bosses, Jacob was the youngest, the most handsome and the most gentle one.
Especially the woman in red dress who was clinging to Jacob. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
Even though Nicole was a little dull, she could feel the gaze. But she was not a person who was used
to socializing, so she could only lower her head and passively accept the gaze of those people.
"Mr. Jacob, you are so considerate!"
