Samuel felt like Nicole was watching him through surveillance cameras.
Her eyes were as clear and fascinating as before.
Samuel reached out his hand and gently touched Nicole's face on the screen.
She was thinner, and her skin got dark. However, she seemed to be more energetic.
Did she indeed live a happy life after leaving him?
Samuel felt mixed, mostly upset. His guess that she probably was joyful after leaving him wrung his
heart.
"What's wrong? Nicole? Is there a problem?"
Booth found Nicole staring at surveillances on the wall and couldn't help but ask.
Nicole turned around and shook her head with a smile. Then, she cast a glance at surveillance
cameras again.
She perceived that someone was watching her through cameras.
She was uneasy as she failed to prevent herself from such a sudden and strange feeling.
Looking at Nicole, who was vigilant, Samuel laughed out.
"Mr. Green, are you happy about Mrs. Green's doubt?"
Jacob asked in confusion.
Samuel had been working hard to look for Nicole over the past month. As he did hardly want to take a
meal, he lost so much weight that his cheek-bones became prominent.
But as soon as he saw Nicole, he calmed down and looked gentle, with an air of warmth.
Samuel smiled gently and said, "I'm glad that she remains vigilant when I'm not by her side."
Jacob failed to understand Samuel and did not ask further.
Nicole at last looked away from cameras. After looking at her for a while with a surprised expression,
Booth glanced at surveillance cameras and tapped on the table with his fingers.
"Who is monitoring this office?"
The accountant was shocked at his question and hurriedly said, "It's security guards in the security
office."
"Are you all working under surveillance?"
Hearing Booth's question, the accountant flushed and hesitated, "Since accounting department is the
most important department of the company, we have to work under surveillance."
"I see."
The accountant became nervous, as Booth answered in a meaningful voice.
Seeing the accountant was scared, Nicole could not help but tug at Booth's sleeve.
Seeing Nicole's action, Samuel became jealous again. His expression changed.
Apart from him, Nicole had never done so in front of a man. She hadn't pulled Tim by the sleeve either.
However, she made an exception for Booth. Obviously, Booth had a place in Nicole's heart.
Samuel felt upset.
Before he succeeded in finding Nicole, he kept telling himself that as long as Nicole was happy, he
would be satisfied. However, when he saw Nicole smiling at another man, he realized that he couldn't
bear it at all.
Nicole was his wife!
She belonged to him!
Jacob was afraid that Samuel would be out of control and go to hit Booth. But to his surprise, Samuel
didn't do anything except for being surly.
"Mr. Green, are you...."
"I don't want to scare her."
Samuel said, keeping staring at Nicole.
Booth could not help but look at Nicole when he was being pulled, "Nicole, don't be too soft-hearted. To
deal with people like him, you have to...."
Nicole shook her head.
"Alright. For Nicole's sake, I won't make it difficult for you. You'd better hurry up and pay the salary to
her."
Booth tapped the table with his fingers.
The accountant hurriedly nodded and checked the bill before paying Nicole.
Nicole looked at the money and felt much more confident, although it was less than her incomes
before.
"Don't make such a mistake anymore. It's your duty to pay the salary in time, okay?"
Nicole laughed when hearing his remarks.
The accountant nodded in agreement.
Nicole put away the money before she stood up and walked out with Booth.
Seeing Samuel going out of the adjoining room, the accountant immediately walked to him.
"Mr. Green, Is that okay?"
Jacob took him away soon.
Samuel watched Nicole and Booth walking away and felt regretful.
Jacob had told Samuel where Nicole was. However, Samuel didn't trust Jacob since he found Booth
was involved. It turned out that he wasted a month going back to the origin.
Samuel kept wondering if he had found Nicole a month ago, she probably wouldn't be so intimate with
Booth.
But it was useless to regret.
Nicole and Booth walked out of the TY Group, and Nicole was in a very good mood.
She tugged at Booth's sleeve and gestured, "I've gotten paid. How about I treat you to dinner?"
Booth paused for a moment before saying happily, "Really? Treat me to dinner? Don't go back on your
word!"
Nicole shook her head.
Nicole knew that Booth had helped her a lot in the past month, and even Joseph liked to communicate
with him.
"You said it. I'm gonna have a square meal. It's your last chance to return your words, as you don't
need to do so."
Hearing him, Nicole laughed.
When Samuel saw Nicole smiling through the glass, he really blamed himself for not being by her side
now.
Looking at Nicole using sign language, Samuel thought that she must have suffered a lot after being
mute. How did she survive that?
Rather than being born mute, Nicole became dumb due to Mrs. Green. In just about one month, how
did she get through it and became positive? Was it because of Booth?
Samuel felt even more upset.
After talking with Nicole for a while, Booth asked her to get in the car and drove her to a restaurant.
Samuel also got into his car and followed behind them closely.
Booth brought Nicole to a food stall.
Nicole couldn't help but pause.
She expressed her question by sign language.
She looked at Booth in confusion.
Booth blinked and smiled, "What? Are you regretful? You don't want to stand treat anymore?"
Nicole felt warm.
She knew that Booth took her here because he didn't want her to spend a lot in a high-end restaurant.
Nicole held Booth's hand and wanted to leave.
Booth knew what Nicole meant. He grabbed Nicole's wrist and said, "Nicole, in fact, compare with a
high-end restaurant, the food here is also good. I used to eat here with my friends, since the food is
clean and delicious, and the price is not expensive. Let's eat here."
Nicole was somewhat touched.
"Don't look at me like that. Nicole, I'm gonna think you're in love with me."
Booth teased Nicole, and Nicole put on a cheerful smile.
They sat down at a table.
Samuel had never taken Nicole to such a place to eat.
The stall was crowded with people, some of them were even shirtless. Since they kept speaking loudly,
it was so noisy here.
Among them, Nicole and Booth sat casually. When the boss asked them to order dishes, Nicole turned
to Booth.
Booth ordered Nicole's favorite dishes, which wrung Samuel's heart again.
Only then did he realize that Booth was slowly replacing him and staying by Nicole's side.
Samuel also sat down. Since he was dressed in an expensive suit, he felt out of place. He took off his
coat soon and ordered same dishes as Nicole's.
Nicole looked at the dishes in front of her and followed Booth, who had started to eat, to have a taste.
Wow!
It tasted really good!
"How is it? I'm not lying, am I? Let me tell you, the dishes in stalls are not all bad. On the contrary, the
food for rich people is not delicious. I like to eat here. How comfortable it is!"
Booth helped shell shrimp for Nicole.
"Thank you!"
Nicole signed.
In an instant, Samuel became so jealous that he had no time to care about if food was delicious
anymore.
While eating, Booth talked and Nicole laughed. Besides, she signed now and then.
Samuel had been busy searching for Nicole for more than a month, so he had no time to learn sign
language.
He suddenly felt that Nicole was distant, though they were at the same place!
As Nicole ate, she felt like being gazed into.
She suddenly turned around.
Samuel hurriedly looked down and leaned away from her.
When Nicole saw Samuel's back, she couldn't help but do a double take.
Samuel?
Her hand trembled, and the thing in her hand instantly fell off.
"Nicole, what's wrong?"
Booth looked at Nicole in surprise and felt that something was wrong with her today.
However, Nicole did not answer his question. Instead, she stared at Samuel.
Was that him?
Was he in Land City?
No!
It wouldn't be him!
How could Samuel appear in a stall?
In the Seapolis City, he was powerful. Since he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he didn't lack
anything. How could he come to a food stall alone?
Nicole wore a melancholy smile and managed to hold back her tears.
It had been a long time since she thought of Samuel last time.
At the beginning, she couldn't sleep at night. The moment she closed her eyes, she would see Samuel.
Besides, Mrs. Green's disdained looks and Mrs. Don's death kept haunting her.
She was afraid of sleeping, and she couldn't sleep.
Booth managed to find the incense that could help her relax. Only then could she get some sound
sleep and slowly stop herself from thinking of Samuel and the others. Although they occurred to her
now and then, she focused on her busy life and tedious work.
When seeing someone looking like Samuel here, Nicole had an inner struggle again.
No!
It's not that he looked similar to Samuel.
He was exactly like Samuel.
Nicole couldn't help but stand up and walk straight towards Samuel.
Booth was puzzled. Seeing Nicole's action, he couldn't help but grab her arm and ask, "Nicole, what's
wrong? Did you see someone you know?"
Without looking away from Samuel, Nicole nodded and continued to walk forward.
She wanted to confirm if that person was Samuel!
Driven by the idea, Nicole walked to Samuel step by step.
