Gary and Nicole had been rehearsing together for the past few days, and he could not be happier. With
Gary’s rejection of Raine, even fools could tell that he had feelings for Nicole. So no one expected to
see Nicole sitting with a handsome man.
Gary’s face could not look sullener, but he said nothing but sat down with Jack, Wayne, and the others
at an adjacent table and ordered coffee.
Jared had sensed Gary’s abnormality as soon as Gary came in. He glanced at Nicole and said, “He’s
looking at you.”
Nicole ignored it, only giving Jared a faint acknowledgment.
After a few more sips and the coffee bottomed out, Nicole said, “It’s almost time. I should go back.”
“I’ll walk you to the school gate,” Jared thoughtfully said.
Nicole smiled. The two got up and left.
As they walked past Gary, Nicole did not even look at or say hello to him but walked straight out.
“Boss, did Nicole just ignore you?” Wayne was in disbelief. ‘The two of them have gotten to know each
other better because of the drama rehearsal, but Nicole has just ignored Gary in front of that man?
That man seems to be very special to her.’
“Don’t bother with her.” Gary was angry, but he did not want to get upset just because of Nicole.
But he could not help but feel depressed as he watched Nicole get into the car. By the time he pulled
back his gaze, he had lost his appetite for the coffee. He left after sitting there for just a while. Tonight,
Gary could not sleep well, as his mind was full of Nicole.
The next day in class, he kept staring at Nicole, and Nicole kept ignoring him.
Finally, it was time for the afternoon rehearsals.
Gary could not bear it anymore. While on the way to the rehearsal, he stopped Nicole. “What is the
relationship between you and the man of last night?”
Nicole looked at Gary with a frown, puzzled by his action.
“Does it have anything to do with you?” She looked not too happy, thinking that Gary was too nosy.
“Of course, I-I…” Gary almost slipped up and revealed his feelings for her.
Nicole pushed him away and said, “That person will soon become my fiancé. Think what you want.”
With that, she left
Gary watched in surprise as Nicole left. ‘Fiancé? Is she going to get engaged to that man?’
His heart hollowed out at the thought of this. It was then that he realized he had cared so much about
Nicole because he had fallen for her. But his realization had come too late.
Gary leaned feebly against the wall, feeling decadent.
Unbeknownst to him, Raine had taken all in from a dark corner.
‘Damn it, Nicole. I can’t believe that Gary dumped me all because of you. When did she hook up with
Gary that it made him so obsessed with her? What a slut.’
This new revelation caused her to lose her mind, amplifying her hatred toward Nicole. ‘I will make
Nicole pay the price today, no matter what.’
