Suppressing the gloom in his chest, he smiled coldly.
“This is my establishment, of course I‘ll come when I‘m free.”
His eyes were already attractive to begin with, and with it slightly curving now, it looked even more so.
Nicole could not help but be dumbfounded as she looked at him.
But as she heard what he said, she frowned slightly.
“Why do I feel like a CEO like you have too much time in your hands?”
Jared looked at Nicole’s cold, glistening eyes, and did not say anything.
He had sent someone to follow her earlier and she very quickly noticed the person’s movements.
If he was a tad bit slower, he would have been caught by her.
Not only that, but Claus also said that Nicole‘s senses against being followed was very keen, and she
was definitely not just any student.
Jared was very aware how skilled his men were, and to think that Claus almost fell victim to Nicole.
A meaning look appeared in his eyes as he looked at Nicole before him.
The more he got in touch with her, the more he found her interesting.
“Forget about that, order what you want.” Jared deftly placed the menu before her as a couple of stray
hairs fell before his eyes, hiding the emotions in them.
Nicole did not hold back either.
“A cup of cappuccino, thank you.”
Jared looked into her eyes and could not help but chuckle.
Although she had drank many of his coffees, the one she liked seemed to only be cappuccino.
Jared immediately took the order, his poise elegant, and his every moment graceful.
It was a noble aura that was preternatural.
As Nicole looked at him, she felt that she was really blind.
‘Why did she get tangled up with this guy in the first place?‘
Letting out a sigh, she stopped bothering him as she walked towards her usual seat and pulled out her
exercise books to work on them.
Jared knew that she did not like him approaching her so he could only look at her from a distance, with a
tinge of discouragement in his heart.
She was the only woman who did not proactively approach him, but instead she was revolted at the idea
of him approaching her.
At this moment, there was some commotion outside as a few students in the originally quiet cafe started
whispering to one another.
“Isn‘t that Austin Woods? Why is he here?” “Seeing that Nicole is here too, I guess he‘s here for
“tuition“!”
In an instant, many curious gazes came from across the cafe.
Nicole looked up slothfully and the few Royal Creek Institute students quickly shut up under her rather
emotionless gaze.
They finally understood why so many were afraid of Nicole.
A glance alone was enough to make someone dare not take a breath.
If she was standing before them, they probably would have already turned around and flee
Nicole could not be bothered with what was in their mind.
At this moment, Austin had brought with him his group of buddies and the cafe was instantly
overcrowded.
When he saw Nicole, Austin’s eyes lit up.
“Boss!”
Nicole gave him a glance.
“What‘s going on?” Why were there so many people here?
Austin knew what she wanted to ask and immediately said, “Boss, these bunch here wants to listen to
your lecture, so they came here themselves!” Everyone looked at him as he blathered about, not daring
to speak up.
They were clearly here because Austin wanted to make a grand scene for his boss, so that‘s why all of
them had to come, and not a single one was exempted! They too had no idea if she was really going to
teach them, going by Nicole‘s standards, would their total grades collectively fall by another twenty
ranks?
Austin did not care.
He was at last place already anyway, so he might as well let Nicole do as she place, but the rest of them
still had a standard to uphold! When Nicole looked at the reluctant faces of these people, she said softly,
“Those who wants to say can stay, and I’ll help to the best of my ability.
Those who want to leave, can leave.” She did not have that much energy to help so many, and the only
reason she decided to help Austin was she took pity on him.
When they heard Nicole say that a number who were originally reluctant to come turned their gaze to
Austin.
He then looked at her and whispered, “Boss, do you really want to do this?”
Nicole nodded.
If the others did not want to believe her, then she had no need to do her best for them.
Seeing that she was serious, Austin raised his hand.
“Leave now if you want to leave! If you don’t want to listen to boss‘ lecture, then you lot don‘t have to be
under me anymore!”
Austin thought that everyone would stay, but who knew, the moment he said that a commotion
immediately erupted.
Many had long been dissatisfied that Austin being all out of sorts as the school bully just for Nicole, and
now he even got stark raving mad that he wanted to get into the top twenty? Isn‘t that a straight up
daydream? They had been busy studying for the past few days, and that had gravely violated the original
intention of them joining Austin‘s camp.
However, as Austin pressured them, they dare not verbalize their complains.
At this moment, Austin himself actually said that they could leave if they did not want to listen to him.
Many looked at one another and turned around to leave.
Bullshit.
They did not want a boss like Nicole who was a nobody.
Her grades were poor, so who wants to listen to her.
Austin too, was a fool, for him to really obey this woman.
The two of them can go crazy for all they care, and they want no part of it! In an instant, only five to six
people who had been following Austin all these while remained from the originally massive group.
Austin did not expect those people who had been calling each other bros to be so callous about their
friendship.
And to think that he had been helping them a lot, either matters big or small.
Yet when he really wanted to do something, these bunch repaid him in such a way.
Among those who left were buddies that Austin usually play ball with.
They gave Austin a wandering glance, and saw the latter‘s disbelieving look, his eyes full of
vengefulness.
Auston had always been stepping on them all this while, how could they not be gleeful when they see
him lose face like this?
A school bully that would call a girl “boss“? It was high time for a change now! As they thought of this, the
few of them left gleefully, and did not forget to throw Austin a provocative middle finger while they were at
it.
Austin looked on, his chest heaving in anger.
He smashed his fist against the wall, and his eyes felt misty.
‘Austin Woods, how could you be so blind?!‘
