Nicole's tone was tough. Maia softened her tone for that.
"Lady Bush, of course, I need your help. Tim is your friend. And he has done a lot for you, hasn't he?
Now he's like this. You can't sit back and do nothing."
Maia's words made Nicole so angry that she laughed.
"Maia, isn't this interesting? On the one hand, you want me to stay away from Tim and stop contacting
him. You can't even let me stay in the same city with him. But on the other hand, you want me to
handle Tim's affairs. Do you know you are contradicting yourself? Besides, why is Tim lying there? Is it
because of me? And do you have the right to ask me to do anything for Tim? As a matter of fact, Tim
didn't even tell me what your relationship is. Do you have the qualification to ask me to leave this
place? You have no ability. But you want me to be quite distinct from Tim. If you ask me, I suggest that
you stop dragging Tim into your shit!"
After Nicole said this, she turned around and left.
Maia was mad!
Words failed Maria for a long time. After Nicole left the ward, she threw the vase to the ground, which
cracked on the ground.
Nicole disliked Maia more.
Not long after Samuel went out, he found that his wallet was on Nicole. So he went back. When he
arrived, he saw Nicole sulking in the corridor alone. He was shocked.
"What's wrong? Why are you here?"
"I'm so angry!"
Nicole felt aggrieved the moment she saw Samuel.
"What kind of attitude is that?"
She told Samuel what Maia had said. Suddenly, she saw the edge of a dress by the door.
It was Maia's dress!
She was eavesdropping!
Out of anger, Nicole said loudly, "Let's leave Tim's affairs alone. It's his business. Someone is accusing
me of stealing her boyfriend! Since she has asked us to leave here, why should we stay? Why are you
looking for Jase? We have our own things to deal with! Let's go home! Lucas is waiting for us."
After saying that, Nicole held Samuel's hand and left.
Maia was anxious.
"Lady Bush, don't leave. What about Tim? You can't just leave like that!"
"Are you kidding? He is your boyfriend. And he got injured because of you! Why should I stay for him?
You hate to see me having any contact with him. Isn't this what you want? Also, this money is to cover
Tim's medical fee. It's not your salary. And you don't need to work in my company anymore. Since soon
you will be Tim's wife, you should work in Tim's company after he wakes up. As for your salary, don't
worry, I'll pay you triple wages. That's it. Goodbye."
After saying that, Nicole left with Samuel angrily.
Maia wanted to catch them up. But after some consideration, she didn't do that.
She stared at the way Nicole had taken. She stood there for a while.
Nicole was mad.
Samuel accompanied her out of the hospital and got into the car. Nicole was still angry.
Samuel took out a bottle of water and unscrewed the cap. He handed it to Nicole and said, "You have a
soft heart. You are just pretending to be hard. Can you really leave Tim alone?"
"Of course I can't. I just feel that Maia was being domineering. Tim and I are just friends. There is
nothing inappropriate between us. Even if Tim once wanted to date me, he has decided to be together
with her. He will be loyal to her. She doesn't understand Tim at all. And who gives her the guts to ask
me to do things and leave this place? Does she think I will do whatever she asks? What does she think
I am? Her dog?"
"If you're a dog, what am I? A male dog?"
Hearing Samuel say this, Nicole burst into laughter.
"Why did you say you are a dog?"
"You said that first!"
Samuel touched Nicole's head and comforted her, "Forget about Maia. We don't need to care about
what she thinks or says. We just need to be honest with Tim. After all, we're here for Tim. And they're
not married yet. Even if they get married one day, we can also stop getting along with Tim. It's not a big
deal. At most, we'll show up when Tim needs help."
"I know that. But Maia's words angered me."
"Then are you here for Tim or Maia?"
This sentence made Nicole calm down.
She was really angry. If Maia wasn't Tim's girlfriend, she would slap her. But now, Tim almost lost his
life for Maia. She and Samuel owed Tim. How could they do anything to Maia when Tim was
unconscious?
"Okay. It's like I was bitten by a dog."
"That's right. If the dog bites you, will you bite it back to revenge? If you do so, you will get a mouth full
of dog hair!"
Nicole laughed again.
"Samuel, are you a gentleman or not? Why are your words so vulgar?"
"I will say whatever to amuse you. My wife, let's go to Jase's."
Samuel's words puzzled Nicole.
"Didn't you say you want me to stay at home? You said I should be cautious."
"I deliberately said so because I wanted you to stay with Tim. But since Maia hated you so much, there
is no need to stay!"
"Samuel, did you mention Maia on purpose so as to get a hit?"
Nicole became depressed the moment she heard Maia's name.
"Can you hit me?"
"Samuel!"
Nicole felt that Samuel must have said that on purpose.
Seeing Nicole's angry expression, Samuel laughed.
"Alright. That doesn't matter. I like you no matter what. My dear girl!"
As he spoke, he touched Nicole's head.
"Focus on driving!"
Nicole moved Samuel's hand away. She still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.
"For Tim's sake, I will let it go this time. But if she challenges me again, I will show no mercy to her. I
will not let myself feel aggrieved anymore."
"I know that you feel wronged. How about this? We go to buy some good jades at Jase's. And tell Jase
that Tim will pay?"
Samuel suggested.
Nicole shook her head.
"I don't want Tim to pay. He has nothing to do with this. I want Maia to pay!"
Nicole's words shocked Samuel.
"You haven't given Maia all her wages?"
"Not wages. You'll know soon."
Nicole smiled mischievously.
As they spoke, they arrived at Jase's door.
When Jase heard that Samuel and Nicole were here, he was a little surprised.
Samuel said that he would pay him a visit in the morning, but he didn't expect that they would be here
so soon.
Jase did not know about Samuel before. But Samuel mentioned Emory. Jase knew Emory. He was the
commander.
So he investigated the background of Samuel and discovered that Samuel was an amazing person.
Being able to make friends with Samuel was good for him.
Jase was a businessman. Naturally, he cared about profits. And he knew how wealthy the Green family
was.
Samuel was like a king. He can't compare him.
Jase hurriedly came out to welcome Samuel in person.
"Mr. Green, Mrs. Green, you are here so quickly! You should inform me so I can send someone to pick
you up."
"No need to trouble you. We are just hanging around."
Samuel smiled faintly, being courteous. He was neither humble nor arrogant.
Jase felt that he was so weak in front of Samuel.
He hurriedly said, "Mr. Green, Mrs. Green, please come in. I just got some good Tieguanyin. I'll have
someone to make some tea. Have a taste."
And Nicole said, "Mr. Jase, I don't know much about tea. But my husband does. You should ask him to
have some tea with you. I am more interested in jades. I heard my employee Maia say that she had an
uncle who sells jades. I want her to bring me to her uncle to do some picking. Unfortunately, she is too
busy. Coincidentally, you are Maia's uncle. And Samuel brings me here now. Aren't you going to show
me the jades?"
Jase paused because of Nicole's words.
"Mrs. Green, Maia and you are friends?"
"Sort of. She works for my travel company."
Nicole said with a smile on her face.
Jase's eyes moved quickly. He smiled, "Maia should tell me that you are her friend! I happen to have
two pieces of good jades. They were just sent here from Spain. Mrs. Green, would you like to take a
look?"
"Alright!"
Nicole behaved she was quite interested.
However, Samuel stopped her and said, "I know you love jades. Can I buy some for you another day?"
"I'll just take a look. Maia said that his uncle has rare jades. It's hard to see such jades elsewhere. I just
want to expand my horizons."
Nicole said as if she was filled with grievance.
Jase hurriedly said, "Maia is right. Although these two jades are not priceless, they are hard to get.
Mrs. Green, take a look. If you like them, you can take them away."
"How can I do that?"
"It's fine. You are Maia's boss and good friend."
It was hard for Jase to give the jades to Nicole. But he thought Samuel would help him to develop his
business. He knew he had to give them the jades as a gift.
A servant brought the jades here. Nicole liked it the moment she saw it. She also understood why Jase
said the jades were rare.
"Mr. Jase, I don't dare to ask for such a precious thing for nothing. But if I give the money to you, I'm
sure you won't accept it, right?"
Hearing Nicole's words, Jase nodded in agreement.
"That's right, Mrs. Green. Our friendship cannot be measured by money."
"I think so. How about this: I have something priceless in Maia. But I don't know if she will give it to you.
You can ask her for it. That thing is no less valuable than these two jades!"
Nicole remained inscrutable. Jase instantly became a little excited.
