Chapter 417

'My eyesight is good.I saw the handwriting on the shirt...It was Nicole's signature I have seen countless
times on her homework! 'For Gary to have Nicole's signature in his bag only means one thing: he has
betrayed me!' Vivian looked at Gary's departing silhouette as she bizarrely calmed down.

‘I cannot blame him.It's all that succubus, Nicole's fault.

‘Harvey was right, that Nicole is totally a demon!'

Thinking of this, Vivian walked to Nicole's already empty desk and toppled it onto the ground.

The latter's books then scattered all over the floor, yet Vivian did not hold back and instead viciously
stomped on it a few times.

There were a few classmates who had not yet left and were looking at her in shock.

Vivian then let out a gentle smile.

"I'm fine.It's just that the stress for the exam is a bit high."

As she said that, she walked back to her seat, packed up, and left.

Nicole first went to the cafe and drank a cup of coffee made by Jared himself as she went through her
workbook.She then looked at her phone and urged Austin to come over to study.

The latter then replied with an emoji of him rushing over.

A smile appeared in Nicole's eyes before quickly disappearing.She gently tapped her finger on the
wooden table.Her expression was impassive.

Nicole sat where Jared often sat, and it was by a tall window.



The golden sunlight shone through the white curtain onto her face, making her look inexplicably
serene.

Claus happened to catch a passing glance and was stunned for a moment.

It took him a while before he snapped back as he took his phone out and wanted to take a photo of the
beautiful girl.

Her slightly disheveled hair floating next to her snow-white face looked extremely immaculate and
beautiful.

Just as she was inside his shutter frame, the girl's figure suddenly disappeared, and in her place was
the back of a tall man.

Although this back was wide-shouldered and narrow- waisted, with a cold pride to it, it was the back of
the man that Claus was most familiar with.

Claus looked at his boss, giving him a warning glance as he put down his phone.

‘It's just a photo of Miss Nicole.You sure are stingy, Mr.Johnston!' Claus resentfully returned to stirring
the syrup in the mixer as he started working again without daring to utter a word.

'It's hard enough to get a job at this day and age, might as well cherish it"

Nicole did not notice the undercurrent between the two as she looked at Jared, who was walking
toward her, and the chill in her eyes melted away.

"Not busy today?"

When Jared heard her question, he raised his eyebrow.



There was a tinge of reservation on his face that was inconsistent with his temperament.

"As long as you're around, I'm not busy."

When Claus heard that, he had goosebumps all over.

‘You're not busy, sure, but I sure am!' Nicole understood what he meant between the lines a s she
looked at him playfully before she stopped talking and instead cast her gaze outside.

"What are you looking at?"
