Chapter 194
: Harvey looked at Zeke inquisitively with a rare, unsmiling face.
His smile returned when he shifted his attention to Nicole.
“What a coincidence, Nicole.
I didn’t expect to see you here.”
Nicole glanced at Harvey.
It was the first time she had seen him since that night.
He had changed little, but she had an unexplained feeling that something was different about him.
She nodded at him, said not a word, then took Zeke downstairs.
Harvey felt depressed when he saw Nicole’s distant attitude and how merciless she was toward him and
his grandfather the other day.
Instead of reaching out to grab Nicole, he looked at them from behind with gloomy eyes.
He wondered why Nicole was in this hotel.
It was not long before Edwin returned and gleefully asked Harvey, “Guess who I saw!”
Harvey glanced at him with a faint smile.
Edwin did not mind but pulled open the door with one hand with a mysterious expression.” You’ll never
think of it.
I’ll tell you, it was-”
“It was Nicole,” Harvey said softly, without waiting for Edwin to finish.
He stood and looked back at Edwin with a smile.
“I saw her.
She’s staying in the room next door.”
Edwin was bursting with excitement.
“The room next door? Room 405?”
Room 402 was opposite Room 403, which adjoined Room 401 and 405.
Edwin certainly would not have thought that Nicole could afford to stay in the most expensive Room 401.
After all, even he and Harvey could only stay in Room 403 and Room 404.
Harvey shook his head and looked downstairs thoughtfully.
Edwin was stunned.
“So, her room is Room 401?”
Harvey did not look at him or reply, so Edwin knew Harvey’s silence meant yes.
His shocked expression slowly faded.
He then entered Room 404, sat on the couch with his mind full of doubts.
Edwin met Nicole on the first floor, thinking that the rooms on the second floor were the most she could
afford, not expecting that she was staying in Room 401.
That room was of class even higher than his and Harvey’s.
‘Just who is this Nicole?’ he wondered.
After Nicole and Zeke left the hotel, they sauntered down the street.
Zeke’s eyes darted around the bustling street scenes excitedly.
However, he was puzzled at the thought of the two guys they met in the hotel just now.
“Tell me honestly, Nicole.
Who are those two guys? What is your relationship with them?” Zeke asked.
He was keenly aware that something was amiss with the identities of the two guys.
Nicole gave Zeke a casual glance and did not mind his tone of voice.
“They’re students in my school, but we aren’t close.”
Zeke looked at her fixedly for a few seconds and admitted to himself with frustration that he could not tell
if Nicole was lying.
So, he did not harp on the matter but rushed to the food stall up ahead.
He found that street food was the best no matter which country he was in.
Had he not had gastroenteritis as a child and his dad would not allow him to take even a bite, he would
have tasted every street food in San Joto he could find.
Just as Zeke rushed ahead with excitement, Nicole grabbed him by the back of his neck and squinted at
him.
