Nicole had never been afraid of anyone, but now she was as nervous as hell.
She could barely hear what the teachers were teaching in class today as her mind was filled with Jared.
After that day, Nicole no longer dared to go to the café again.
Before she could figure out how to solve the problem, she had better lie low.
For five days, Jared did not see Nicole.
Thinking back to the last time, he did not remember he had ever said anything wrong to her.
So why did this little girl ignore him? She even ignored his messages, informing her of the new coffee
arrival.
Could it be that coffee did not work for her either? Jared sat depressed in the café, looking at his phone.
Nicole really did not reply to his messages.
Max was seeing Jared like this for the first time.
Since the day before yesterday, Jared had been in a bad mood.
Every day, he came to the café, sat there, apparently waiting for someone.
But Nicole never appeared again, seemingly disappearing from this world.
Seeing that it was already dark outside, Jared suddenly heard someone entering the door.
He thought it was Nicole, but it turned out to be Norah.
Jared’s expression turned icy again.
Norah had been sending him a text message every two days, and he ignored them all.
Now she came looking for him at the café.
“Mr.
Johnston? I didn’t expect to see you here.
What a coincidence.” Norah cheekily pretended to meet him by chance.
In reality, ever since she knew Jared owned this café, she had been coming here very often.
But every time she finished her homework and came, Jared had left.
But today, Jared was still here.
It looked like her persistence had paid off. “Coincidence? A staff member at the counter desk said that
you come every two days, don’t you?” Jared questioned her bluntly.
He was not interested in Norah. Norah was embarrassed but quickly calmed down.
“I can’t help it.
The coffee here is so good.
I like the coffee here, just like Nicole does.” Jared’s expression eased up at the mention of Nicole.
“Nicole said she liked the coffee here?” “Yeah.” Norah let out a smile.
“Can I sit down and talk, Mr.
Johnston?” Jared frowned, but in the end, he did not refuse.
“Sit down, please.” “Thank you, Mr.
Johnston.” Norah was almost ecstatic, unconsciously fiddling with her hair and staring at Jared as she
sat down. But Jared was unimpressed and ordered Max to serve Norah a cup of coffee.
He then asked,” What is Nicole doing these days?” He was really curious why Nicole did not come to the
café.
But he did not realize that his questions had sent Norah a blow.
At first, Norah thought Jared was interested in her when he let her sit down, not expecting that he was
actually asking questions about Nicole.
Suppressing her disappointment, Norah forced a smile.
“She scored zero in the Math Olympiad test the other day and is desperately trying to make up for it.
After all, the monthly exam is just around the corner.
She may fail if she does not work hard.” Norah sounded like she was concerned about Nicole, but all she
said was about Nicole’s shortcomings. But Jared could not care about Nicole’s academic performance.
“That makes sense now.” It was because Nicole was busy studying that she ignored him, and he felt
better now. “Is there anything you need her help with? I can help you too.” Norah did not want to miss
any chance to offer herself. Jared’s expression turned icy.
“It is alright.
She is irreplaceable.” Those few words once again sent Norah’s heart to the bottom.
Questions had been asked, and the coffee was served.
Jared no longer wanted to linger on.” This cup of coffee is on me.
I will make a move first.” “Mr.
Johnston…” Norah’s eyes widened.
She had been dressed up for so many days just to meet Jared once, not expecting that he would get up
and leave after just asking a few questions about Nicole. Jared did not look back as he pushed the door
open and left with Max. Norah looked at him from behind with anger in her eyes.
‘Damn it, Nicole! What the hell is so good about you that Jared cares so much about you?’ Many guys at
school tried to chat her up, but she ignored them all just so that she could win Jared’s heart and beat
down Snow and Raine.
But she did not expect Jared to brush her off just like that.
It seemed that only when Nicole’s reputation was ruined that Jared would change his mind.
‘Just wait and see, Nicole.
I will certainly give as good as I get.’ On a sunny day, Nicole and Lulu had a morning class and then went
to have lunch at the caféteria. While on their way there, they just happened to overhear people
discussing something.
Lulu looked curiously in the direction they were pointing and saw a group of hooligans sitting in the
cafeteria reading books and doing revisions, seemingly hard at work.
Many people around their mobile phones like they saw some rare wonders.
Some of them uploaded photos to the school forum, and it went viral instantly. [Isn’t that Justin? Did he
hit his head somewhere or something?) [This is the agreement between Nicole and Austin.
If Austin can get to the top twenty in this monthly exam, Nicole will agree to become his boss.) (I have
got to say that Nicole is simply playing him.) [Absolutely.
Fat chance of Austin getting into the top twenty.
Everyone knows his grades are so bad that he has always been maintaining at the bottom ten places
forever.) Almost all the comments were mocking and questioning Austin.
Only a few comments said that the learning atmosphere in the school atmosphere had changed for the
better, but unfortunately, no one cared. Lulu entered the caféteria and saw Austin, the leader, biting his
pen and pondering a language paper.
She knew that Austin and Nicole had an agreement, but she did not expect Austin to take that so
seriously.
“Nicole, you see, Austin and his underlings are studying really seriously. Nicole looked ahead and saw
Austin vexed by questions.
Seeing that, she walked straight toward Austin.
Lulu was stunned and quickly followed.
Nicole came beside Austin and tapped lightly on his desk. Austin was irritable because of a tough
question.
When someone came up and tapped on his desk, he got pissed and vowed to teach the person a
lesson. He looked up with a mean look on his face.
His expression froze when he saw Nicole.
“Boss? What are you doing here?”
