Chapter 708

Gary felt inexplicably happy as he thought about that.

He could not help but look forward to the rehearsal.

After school–

Ms. Emerson told the participants about the rehearsal time. She then informed them to go to the
rehearsal.

Gary saw Nicole pack her stuff to leave. He then did the same and chased after her.

Nicole did not look at Gary even though she knew that Gary was following her.

Gary was perturbed. He said softly, “Is this really your first time acting in a play?”

“Yes,” Nicole said coldly. “If you have anything that you don’t understand, feel free to ask me.” Gary
smiled brightly. Nicole glanced at him as she said unhappily, “Gary, do you always feel superior
whenever you do something? Do you always think that others need your help?” ‘This dude, he always
says he wants to help me whenever he sees me. But I don’t need help from a weakling.’

“No, I don’t.” Gary curdled his eyebrows. He did not expect that Nicole would think of him this way.

‘She wasn’t wrong. I can only blame myself for being so self-righteous last time. I thought Nicole didn’t
know anything about Mathematical Olympiad. Now that I know she’s a genius, I feel so stupid.’ Gary
sighed as he said in a serious tone, “I didn’t understand you last time. I was wrong about you. This won’t
happen again. You could ignore me if I said something that made you feel uncomfortable.”

He then walked ahead of Nicole right after he said that. Disappointment could be seen on his back.



Nicole frowned her eyebrows as she stared at Gary. ‘He’s weird. What happened to the aloof dandy?’
Soon, the students reached the shared rehearsal hall. They only realized that they were not alone in the
rehearsal hall after they reached. Classes from the high school and university departments were there
for rehearsal too.

Nicole looked toward there. She saw Samuel and Spencer. It seemed like they were both the lead actors
for their respective classes. They stood at the center. While Stanley was standing in the middle of the
crowd. It seemed like he was waiting for everyone to reach for the meeting.

“Gary!” A sweet voice could be heard, causing everyone’s attention.

Raine was there too. She stood beside Gary immediately after she saw him.

But Gary was not in a good mood. He did not want to talk to her. He then went and stood at the

center of his class. People were standing on both of his sides. Raine could not stand beside him. Raine
noticed Nicole was standing next to Gary. “Why is she here?” She was anxious. ‘Does this bumpkin even
know anything about play? And she actually came along for the ride?!

As a secondary supporting actress, Lulu stepped forward frustratingly as she said, “Nicole’s our lead
actress!”

“What?” Raine opened her eyes wide suddenly. She felt aggrieved as she looked at Gary. “Gary, a-are
you the lead actor?”. Wayne glanced at Raine as he said coldly, “Of course Gary is our lead actor. If not,
who else could do it?”

Raine had a long face.

She did not expect Nicole to get the lead actress role and starred alongside Gary as the main character.
She was fuming at the thought of them rehearsing and acting as a couple in the play. Jack kicked Raine



when she was down. “Raine, Gary’s very upset recently. He doesn’t have time for you. Please be self-
conscious. Step aside, alright?”

Jack was straightforward. Gary did not have time for Raine.
