It was no longer a problem that Nicole gave a shirt to Jacob. As Jacob didn't show any happiness or
unhappiness, Nicole forgot it in a few days.
In the evening, when she was having dinner at the table, she received a call from Jacob.
Nicole put down her chopsticks and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"I have something to deal with tonight, so I won't come back for dinner."
Jacob's voice came from the other end of the line.
Nicole took up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of shrimp, slipped it into her mouth, chewed and
replied, "I know, you won't come back for dinner, Lily told me."
"…… I may come back late tonight. Don't wait for me. Go to bed early. "
Nicole was confused. She wanted to tell Jacob that she hadn't waited him for a long time. Why did he
say that all of a sudden?
However, she was a sensible girl. Although she thought his words were weird, she said obediently,
"Okay, I know."
"……" After a moment's silence, Jacob said coldly, "that's it."
Then he hung up the phone.
Nicole was even more confused hearing the busy tone from the phone.
'He just won't come back for dinner. Lily has already told me about this. Why does he say it again?' she
thought.
Moreover, he told her not to wait for him and asked her to go to bed early, as if she had been waiting
for him every day.
Nicole shivered and had goose bumps all over her body.
"Miss Nicole, is it from Mr. Jacob?" Lily was filling a bowl of soup. She saw what just happened and
asked Nicole with a smile.
Nicole nodded, "yes, I feel his tone is strange. I'm not used to it."
Lily could almost hear clearly what they talked on the phone. Hearing what Nicole said, Lily burst into
laughter and pointed out the key point, "in fact, Mr. Jacob just missed you."
"What?" Nicole looked at Lily in disbelief.
"He called you because he missed you, but I don't know what to say. I have to keep silent."
Nicole was not pleased by her explanation, but terrified.
Because such a behavior was really not like Jacob.
'isn't he the kind of person who doesn't hesitate to do anything as long as he likes it? How could he act
so euphemistically as an ignorant boy?
Sensing Nicole's suspicion, Mrs. Zhang lowered her head and whispered to her, "Nicole, didn't you
see? Mr. Lu has been wearing the shirt you bought him most these days."
"…… Really? " Nicole got up later than Jonny every day. Sometimes when Jacob came back home at
night, she was asleep too. Besides, she didn't check his wardrobe, so she didn't notice what clothes he
was wearing.
But she knew that Lily took care of Jacob every day.
Hearing Lily's words, Nicole was more confused.
"Mr. Jacob cares about you a lot, but he wasn't willing to tell you."
Lily smiled, making fun of her.
Nicole blushed. She looked down at the shrimp in her bowl, her heart beating fast.

"Jacob, you are so busy. It's so hard to meet you. It's even harder than meeting those leaders."
In the club, Frank was swirling his red wine, complaining to Jacob.
Jacob rolled his eyes and said sarcastically, "I'm not like you, who can indulge in a world of luxury. I
have a company to take care of."
Though being scolded by Jacob, Frank couldn't fought back. So he turned to aim at Bevis, saying,
"you're so selfish, aren't you? You haven't contacted me since you came back. Last time, you had a
drink with Jacob, but you didn't ask me to come with you."
Bevis was looking at his phone. When he was mentioned, he looked up in astonishment. Then he
turned his head to look at Jacob, who looked indifferent. And then he turned to Frank who was angry.
"Okay, okay, okay. It's my fault. I won't do anything to you today. It's my fault. I'll pay for it, okay?"
"Just wait. I'll make you spend a lot of money today!" Frank waved to the waiter, ordering several
bottles of the most expensive red wine at one time.
Bevis was amused by his naivety, but he didn't feel sorry for his wallet. He shook his head and decided
to let Frank do whatever he liked.
Designers earned a lot, and even not relying on home, Bevis could still afford the fees of these
unscrupulous restaurants.
The band in the club hadn't shown up yet, and the atmosphere was not very hot. Only a few people
were twisting in the center of the dancing stage.
With a glass of wine in his hands, Bevis looked at Jacob up and down and ridiculed, "how come you
change your style? This dress is not your style."
"Really?"
The gray shirt he wore was given by Nicole. When he came out to play, he usually wore a casual T-
shirt, but today, somehow, he wore this shirt and came here directly.
"Yes!" Frank cut in, "this style is too sissy. It's not overbearing or powerful at all. It doesn't look very
fancy. It's not comparable to the previous ones you have."
Although Frank was not reliable, he had been in the upper class circle for a long time. It was easy for
him to tell whether something was good or not.
Jacob frowned. He looked back at Bevis and asked uncertainly, "Do you also think that this dress is not
so good?"
"No, that's not the case." Bevis smiled and glanced at Frank who made trouble, and then added in a
professional tone, "the quality is good and the style is normal. It is a little gentle, which weakened your
strength."
Such an answer sounded much more pleasant to him. He felt relieved and kicked Frank in the shin,
saying, "what nonsense are you talking about? Otherwise, I will beat you up!"
Frank kept crying out with her legs in her arms, "Jacob, you are such a muddleheaded man! How
couldn't you tell the right from the wrong? What Bevis said has the same meaning with mine. Please
don't ignore what he said just now. And Bevis, you're such a sweet talker. What a lucky dog you are! "
"Shut up."
Jacob and Bevis looked at each other and burst into laughter. They could do nothing to this naughty
bro.
After a while, Frank went to the toilet. When he came back, there was a woman with him.
"What do you think? Look at me. I must have a lot of good fortune in love affairs."
Grinning, Frank took a seat with the woman He boldly put his arms around her thin waist and took a sip
of the tea to show off in front of Jacob and Bevis.
Jacob was used to Frank's behavior of picking up girls at any time.
But today, when his eyes swept across the woman casually, he was slightly stunned.
It seemed that he had seen the woman somewhere before.
Jacob looked at her a few more times, which made Frank think that Jacob was interested in this
woman. Then, it occurred to Jacob that
this woman was the mistress of Nicole's ex-husband.
Why did she stick to Frank?
