Chapter 150

Nicole looked at her and raised an eyebrow.

“I will.”

It took Lulu a while to realize what Nicole meant: she would keep herself warm. Lulu could not help but
cackle.

IT

“What a reflex arc, Nicole.”

Nicole said nothing but gave her an elegant,

haughty look.

The two cackled as they walked to the school gate. Lulu planned to go back to the dormitory to study.
Nicole thought for a moment and decided to go to the café. She had agreed to give Austin and

company tuition this afternoon.

When Nicole came in front of the café, she

somehow hesitated.

She wondered why she suddenly had such an awkward feeling, which had never occurred to her

before.

Claus inside the café had already spotted Nicole and came out to greet her with a smile. But Nicole
seemed to have spaced out as if she did not see



him.

‘What a surprise.’ Claus scratched his chin, not

expecting to see Nicole woolgathering.

Jared was not on the ground floor. Claus looked at Nicole and took out his phone to call Jared. “Boss,
Nicole is here, but she is not coming in. I think

something is wrong.”

Jared also saw Nicole coming at the window on the first floor. He was in the room watching Nicole
because their last encounter did not go well yesterday. He was motionless just as long as she

remained rooted to the spot.

Max stood beside him, not actually knowing what

his boss was doing.

After hanging up the phone, and a few more minutes had passed, Nicole was still standing

where she was as if pondering something. But Jared had lost his patience. He murmured angrily

about something and then got downstairs.

He had been expecting Nicole.

A glacier seemed to have formed in Jared’s amorous eyes, his expression so cold as if it could freeze
time. When he came downstairs, he had eye to eye with Nicole, who happened to look up

through the glass door.



Nicole looked at the man on the opposite side of the door. He was wearing a black silk shirt, his artistic
arched black eyebrows making his skin look fairer than he was. He remained standing on the bottom few
steps of the staircase at that moment, leaning obliquely on the railing, but it made him look even more
charming, with a bit of extreme elegance.

Nicole looked at him as if suddenly understanding why so many people came to the café every day to

chat with him.

Now, with no hesitation, she pushed open the door and walked up to Claus. “Give me a glass of iced

Americano.” She needed to sober up. Nicole then walked slowly toward the stairs and gently said to

Jared, who was staring at her. “Excuse me.”

Max, who was following Jared hurrying downstairs, happened to hear this, and his heart skipped a beat.

“Sorry.” Jared had no expression on his face. With that, he walked out the door without looking back.

Nicole kept walking up the stairs and came to the room where she usually gave Austin and company
tuition. She waited there, looking as if being deep in

thought

When Austin and his buddies came and saw Nicole sitting by herself, Sammey said, “Boss, why didn’t
Jared accompany you today?”

‘Accompany me? In their eyes, has it always been Jared who accompanies me?’ she asked in her

mind.

Sammey saw something was wrong with Nicole



and became concerned “Are you alright,

Boss?”
