Chapter 55
Chapter 55
Nicole could imagine the angry face of Zane Spears on the other side of the monitor screen. She felt
sorry. She was too anxious and should not have answered the phone. But she really just wanted to
make sure Carl was safe and did not think much about it that time. Thinking of this, Nicole sighed softly,
with a rare sense of helplessness on her face. The phone in her hand rang again. This time, the screen
showed it was a call from Samuel.
Nicole did not expect Samuel to call. She pressed the answer button, put the phone to her ear, and
Samuel’s energetic voice on the other end of the phone came to ear. “Do you have time, Nicole?
Spencer and I will come to pick you up and go out to dinner together.”
Nicole did not have classes in the afternoon, and she did not plan to go to the evening self study class
either. So, after thinking about it, she replied, “I am free afterward. Wait for me at the school gate. I will
go out to meet you guys now.”
Spencer and Samuel had many fans. It would be troublesome for them to pick her up from her
dormitory.
After hanging up, Nicole got changed, gave Lulu a heads-up, and left.
Lulu was still busy online and just waved her hand to acknowledge Nicole when she heard Nicole’s
voice.
Nicole glanced at the computer in front of her and saw dense, glaring red fonts on the screen.“ Wrap it
up and get some rest. I will bring you food when I am back.”
“Okay.” Lulu did not even look up.
Nicole went downstairs. There was nothing much she could do. In fact, she could not care less about
what people said about her online. Otherwise, she would have hacked into the school’s online forum
and erased everything on it. It was just that she did not bother to do that.
At the school gate, Nicole could see from afar Samuel waving at her. Judging by the shape of his
mouth, he must be calling her to go over quickly. Meanwhile, Spencer was standing some distance
from Samuel, looking at him with disgust.
Nicole smiled. It was only after she got closer that she found Norah also came along, looking at her
with displeasure. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Norah had moved to the campus for two days and had little time with her brothers. That was the reason
she asked Samuel and Spencer out. She did not expect them to call Nicole.
She was exasperated at seeing her two brothers grin ear-to-ear when Nicole came out.
Nicole could not help but snicker when she saw the look on Norah’s face.
She as well came beside Samuel and made a cordial smile at him deliberately.
“Where are we going, Samuel?” Her smile was so sweet that it stunned Samuel.
“Where-where are we going?” Samuel looked blankly at Spencer, his mind seemingly out of whack.
“Didn’t you just say you were going to ask Nicole where she wanted to go? Why look at me?” Spencer
had a bewildered look on his face.
Now, Norah became even more jealous
“Samuel, Spencer, I want to eat pasta,”
“I want to eat grilled fish. I wonder if there is any restaurant selling grilled fish nearby.” Nicole
interrupted before Norah could finish her sentence.
“There is none near the school, but I know there is one that sells delicious grilled fish somewhere else.
Let’s take a taxi there,” Samuel immediately said.
Samuel had always been very good to her. Norah did not expect that he would ignore her.She could
only pretend to be aggrieved.
“Nicole has just come to the school. She should be given priority.”
“Yeah, Norah is so sensible.” Samuel simpered. Norah’s smile froze. She wanted Samuel and
Spencer’s attention and for them to change her mind. These stupid brothers of hers were echoing what
she said.
Spencer knew Norah was upset, and he said, “We will have pasta next time.”
“Okay, then.” Norah bit her lip and could only bear with it. They took a taxi. It would be too crowded if all
of them got into the backseat. So Norah wanted to sit in the front passenger seat. She went ahead
wanting to take the seat, but Samuel was even quicker than she was and had opened the front
passenger car door.
“Nicole, you first.” Norah stood in place, unsure of what to do. She had never imagined that the last
person in the family who was good to her had now only Nicole in the eyes. He no longer had her at
heart.
“Thank you, Samuel.” Nicole had noticed Norah’s expression but could not care less. She got into the
front passenger seat at once. Only then the two brothers then got into the back seat.
Norah looked at the little space left in the back seat, her face looking indignant.
“What is wrong, Norah? Get in the car. I am starving,” Samuel urged anxiously.
At this point, Norah’s last bit of affection for Samuel was gone. Samuel was good to her, but his brain
was of no use to her. She bit her lip and could only squeeze herself into the back seat. It was so
cramped at the back that she almost could not close the car door.
After barely closing the car door, they set off for San Joto’s most famous grilled fish restaurant.
The restaurant was packed with customers. They could not enter without a reservation. Spencer took
out his phone and made a call, and then they were ushered into a VIP elevator to go upstairs.
They were seated at the VIP table, with Nicole sitting by the window and looking out at half of San
Joto’s cityscape. She had just wanted to eat a simple grilled fish, not expecting Spencer and Samuel to
bring her to such a luxurious restaurant.
Norah was equally surprised, not expecting Spencer and Samuel to bring Nicole to such an expensive
place.
The two guys had limited pocket money every month, so when Samuel invited her to dinner last time,
they mostly dined in the not-so-expensive place. Norah was really jealous this time because they were
splashing out on Nicole. After sitting down, Norah could not help but say, “Samuel, Spencer, are you
two having a lot of pocket money this month? Nicole just wants to eat grilled fish. Is it really okay to
come to such an expensive restaurant?”
