Chapter 104
Nicole turned around and noticed Jack Pearson was looking at her somewhat anxiously, with Gary Finley
standing impassively behind the latter.
Gary had fixed Jack up properly today and ordered the latter to apologize to Nicole.
Jack was naturally reluctant, but he was worried that Nicole would straight up ignore him, so he quickly
mouthed his apology while Nicole was packing up.
Although Gary looked impassive, his clenched fist betrayed the turmoil inside.
Looking at the girl’s glance, Gary would be lying if he said he was not nervous.
Nicole looked at the two, and her gaze finally fell on Jack‘s face as she let out a mischievous smile.
“No need for that.”
With those words said, she picked up her bag and left with Bradley Robertson.
Leaving Jack Pearson standing there scratching his head.
He dared not ask Gary directly, so he kicked Wayne in the shin and asked, “Say, did Nicole forgive me
there or not?” Wayne was already slightly pissed when Jack called Nicole coldblooded earlier, and
immediately threw the latter a glare when he heard that, “Why are you asking me? Go ask Nicole!”
Gary too frowned.
He knew that Nicole would not forgive him so easily.
He picked up his books and said coldly, “Let‘s go.
We need to revise.” The Math Olympiad was close, and he must not lose.
He will tell Nicole his thoughts after clinching first place.
Just as he entertained the thought, his handphone suddenly vibrated.
Gary pulled out his phone and placed it by his hear.
When he heard what was spoken his expression changed a little.
“Alright, I‘ll be right there.”
Immediately after, he walked out of the classroom in big strides, leaving Jack and Wayne to look at each
other.
Nicole and Bradley were walking leisurely towards the dorm and Bradley was talking about Lloyd
nonstop while Nicole listened on, with nary any reactions on her face.
Bradley was so colorful it was clear that he really liked Lloyd Holder.
At this moment, a rather blurry silhouette appeared beneath the streetlamp, as if it was a person who
was closely hugging the wall.
Nicole immediately noticed that and consciously led Bradley as they suddenly took a corner.
It was an open space, and seeing that he was without cover, the person gritted his teeth as he pretended
to be unperturbed as he followed the two of them, acting like he was looking at the
scenery
A cold glint flashed past Nicole‘s face as she suddenly turned around and gave Bradley a shock “Nicole,
the heck… Bloody hell!”
Nicole darted out like a thunderbolt and instantly disappeared before Bradley‘s eyes,
The person tailing them was clearly a professional.
He sensed something was not right the moment Nicole turned her head and immediately fled.
And it seemed like he was well versed with the layout of the Royal Creek Institute.
With a couple of turns he disappeared into the darkness.
Looking at the fork before her and thinking that the person disappeared after he turned into this corner,
she felt a little irritable.
Failure was a rare thing for her, and she was too careless this time.
She never thought that someone would dare to tail her so brazenly inside the Royal Creek Institute.
As she thought of this, her expression turned a little glum.
As she turned around to retrace her path, she took out her phone and sent a message.
“Someone is tailing me.
You guys be careful.”
Bradley had not responded yet, so Nicole put away her phone and saw the former standing there looking
at her in a stupor.
Even when he had seen Nicole strike more than one, he was still amazed every time he witnessed it.
He had never seen someone be so fast before!
Nicole walked over and patted him on the shoulder, “It‘s nothing, let‘s go.”
The road here was rather quiet, and aside from Bradley, no one else saw that happened.
He swallowed his saliva and then asked, “Nicole, who were you chasing after just now?”
Nicole shook her head.
“Nothing, it was my mistake.”
Bradley gave her a curious look, but seeing that she was not inclined to speak, he did not press the
issue.
After sending Bradley to the dormitory entrance, Nicole turned around to leave.
Bradley was a little surprised as he asked, “Nicole, not going back to the dorm?”
She shook her head.
“I‘m going to the cafe.” Bradley suddenly realized that Nicole was probably worried about this safety and
that was the reason why she escorted him back.
He could not help but to feel thankful for that.
For a girl to escort him back, it was just too embarrassing.
As the two parted, Nicole walked towards the school gate as she wondered who would be so bold as to
make a move right inside Royal Creek Institute.
As she walked, she soon arrived at the cafe.
She was sure now that, the most dangerous place on Earth was also the safest.
If she comes here, Jared Johnston will have even less cause to suspect her.
However, she had not much time to think, she wanted to find a proper place to study and to help Austin
and the others revise.
Since she would have to face a torrent of gossips in school, might as well come here instead.
She had not come for a few days now, and when she stepped in, she noticed the usual waiter was not
here today.
But for some reason Jared Johnston was in the house.
Nicole’s expression darkened.
She had occasionally suspected, was Jared Johnston actually waiting for her here?
Otherwise, why would she keep running into him every time here?
At this moment, Jared was resting on a seat not too far away from the door.
The moment he saw her enter; his eyes lit up as he immediately waved at her.
For some reason, it felt like he had been waiting for her for a long while now.
Nicole pushed the door open and asked, “Why are you here again?” Her slightly revolted look and tone
made Jared feel like he just had a bucket of iced water poured on him.
He had waited for her for so many days now, and she was revolted when she saw him?
