Chapter 739
As soon as the teacher left, everyone swarmed around Nicole to congratulate her.
“You will be our class monitor from now on,”
Bradley, Lulu, and June were all smiles.
Nicole was not as happy as them. Her thinking was that since she had agreed to the job, she would
have to work hard to ensure she did a good job, and that was an added responsibility.
The school anniversary celebration had been wrapped out. There was no news of the casting from
Lloyd’s crew. But the school forum had posted videos of Nicole almost being smashed by falling objects
and saving Gary.
Inside the café, Jared was watching the videos, his face darkening. He could not wait to see Nicole. 1
“Go pick her up.” Jared got up and went downstairs, not expecting to see Nicole coming in with
Bradley, Lulu, June, Austin, Sammey, and Zeke together. Nicole’s arm was bandaged. The others were
very careful, but they all looked happy.
Austin congratulated Nicole as soon as he took his seat. “Boss, congratulations on being the class
monitor.”
Sammey looked awkward, but he still gave his blessing. “Congratulations, Boss.”
“Yeah, congratulations to Nicole for being the class monitor.” June echoed.
Meanwhile, Lulu looked triumphant. “Nicole’s grade was first in the class. She deserves the position.”
Nicole shook her head gently. “There is nothing celebratory about being the class monitor. There are a
lot of chores to do.” Today, she had already attended to some trivial things. It was a little exhausting.
“I’ll help you if you need help.” Bradley patted his chest with assurance.
Nicole nodded in thanks, but her eyes were on Zeke. “What are you doing here?”
After school, it was Bradley and Austin who suggested celebrating. She did not know that Zeke would
also join them.
“My partner told me about it.” Zeke smiled and glanced at Austin, who also grinned.
Nicole raised an eyebrow. “When did you two become friends?”
Zeke appeared a bit embarrassed. “You know, men being men. Out of blows, friendship grows. I
recently started to appreciate Austin’s code of brotherhood.”
“Thank you for your compliment. You’re also a real man.”
While the two men looked chivalrous, Nicole had no words. As she was about to order her coffee, she
suddenly sensed an icy stare coming her way. Nicole looked back and saw Jared behind her.
Everyone was instantly silenced, no one daring to speak at the sight of Jared, and the air was filled with
a sense of nervousness. Nicole saw Jared gazing at her arm and knew what he was thinking. She took
his hand, sat him down beside her, and assured him, saying, “I’m fine, just a minor cut.”
Jared had a serious look on his face. “I’ve asked Max to find the best doctor. You go to the hospital with
me afterward.”
“Huh?” Nicole was appalled by how domineering this guy was.
Seeing Jared’s concern, June and Lulu could only envy Nicole,
“Go, Nicole. Jared is concerned about you.” Lulu already knew Jared’s last name, so she tried to give
Jared a hand
