"I..." Nicole obviously didn't expect Madam Jacobs to not care about her feelings at all.'She's my grandaunt, why is she so unwilling to get Laura to buy me some food?' wondered Nicole."Grandaunt, I'm unfamiliar with the city. If I knew my way around, I would definitely go myself." Nicole pouted her lips and pretended to be all cute and adorable.However, Madam Jacobs still ignored her."There are taxis everywhere. It's very convenient. They'll take you wherever you want to go. You can get a taxi right outside the hospital."Nicole was rendered speechless.Laura had her head lowered and was looking at her phone. She didn't express any opinions about the conversation between Madam Jacobs and Nicole."I'll pay Laura, alright? How about I pay her double? She can see the extra money as her delivery fee."When Nicole saw that Madam Jacobs was refusing to let Laura go buy food for her, a disdainful look appeared on her face.She felt that the two of them didn't want to spend any m
After hearing Nicole's reply, Madam Jacobs didn't insist. Since Nicole didn't want to come for lunch, Madam Jacobs wasn't going to force her.At lunchtime, Chris came back with a bag full of food.The amount of food in the bag was just enough for the three of them, but they were all Laura's favorites.Madam Jacobs raised her head and looked at Chris. She knew what was going on in Chris's mind and couldn't help but snort.She was the only person with Supreme Cuisine's VIP card. Even Chris didn't have one.However, her grandson went to buy food with her VIP card, but all he bought were his wife's favorite dishes.Madam Jacobs couldn't help but smile. Seeing that Chris and Laura's relationship improving, she was really happy as well.She really wished that her grandson would put in some effort and make Laura completely fall in love with him. That way, Laura could give birth to a great-grandchild for her.Supreme Cuisine's service was top-notch. It was winter, so they would place t
Madam Jacobs' words made Nicole feel very annoyed.'Why couldn't this old fool tell me they were having food from the Supreme Cuisine? Why wouldn't I come back if she had told me that they were having food from the Supreme Cuisine?' thought Nicole.However, Madam Jacobs' words rendered Nicole speechless.She could only look at Laura and find a way to vent her anger."Laura, I feel it's quite dry recently and it's making me comfortable. Do you know where they would sell watermelons? Can you go buy me one?" Nicole walked up to Laura and wrapped her arms around Laura's intimately.Madam Jacobs' eyes turned cold. 'Is Nicole here to visit me or is she here to cause trouble for others? Why does she always want Laura to go and buy things for her?'"I've been to the fruit stores around here. None of them sells watermelons. Would you like some apples?"Laura wasn't lying. On the first day that Madam Jacobs was hospitalized, she had gone to the fruit stores nearby, but none of them sold w
All of them stayed in the ward until the evening.Madam Jacobs didn't really want someone to keep her company at night. Her left arm was injured but her right arm was fine.After Laura and the others had left, the bodyguards of the Jacobs family would come and guard the door. Therefore, Madam Jacobs wouldn't be in any danger."Grandaunt, your house is quite dark. I'm scared to stay alone at night, can I go live with Laura?"Nicole might have mentioned Laura's name, but her eyes were actually looking at Chris.She knew Chris was married, but Nicole still couldn't control her feelings for him.Besides, she felt that even if they were married, they could still get a divorce.Nicole felt that she wouldn't fall in love with others after meeting Chris.Therefore, she would do her best to get what she wanted.She had never been unable to get anything she wanted.Nicole put on a pitiful look and blinked her eyes as she looked at Chris. She pouted her lips as well, which made her look
Madam Jacobs nodded. She didn't have any problems with that. "Okay.""Taylor, I want Nicole to gain some work experience. That's what she wants as well. She studied Business Management and Finance in university, do you think you can allocate a suitable position for her in the Jacobs Group?""Since she wants to gain some work experience, why do you want me to make the arrangements? Why don't you let her work in your company?"Madam Jacobs' words caused Charlie to smile awkwardly. "The people at my company all know Nicole. They would all treat her with respect... How about I let her participate in the interviews? I believe in her abilities. She'll be able to get the job by herself."Madam Jacobs didn't refuse.Since Nicole wanted to gain some work experience, she would need to be treated just like everyone else. Madam Jacobs didn't like Nicole and felt that she didn't know any manners, but Nicole was her brother's granddaughter, so she still wanted Nicole to be able to become better
As soon as Laura and Chris arrived home, Grey came up to them.It leaned against Laura's leg and meowed softly.Chris was just about to bend down and pat its head, but it showed its teeth at Chris.This caused Chris to cock his brows a little. "You heartless little thing. Why are you looking at me like that? Did you forget who's the one feeding you?"Grey seemed to not like Chris ever since the first day that it was brought home and it was still like that up until now.No one knew if it understood what Chris had said. It even gave Chris a provocative look. This caused Chris to pick it up off the ground."Weren't you not letting me stroke you? Well, I'm stroking you now, what are you going to do about it?"Chris curved his lips into a smile. His gaze actually became a little mischievous. Grey struggled to break free but was to no avail. All it could do was look pitifully at Laura and meow.Looking at the interaction between Chris and Grey, Laura couldn't help but smile.She had
Laura looked away indifferently as well. Since Nicole wanted to pretend not to know her, she wouldn't take the initiative to say hello either.Laura didn't take Nicole's actions to heart and just took the payment as usual. She just treated the two people in front of her as two normal customers.However, not long after Nicole left the store, Laura's phone vibrated.She picked it up and looked at the screen. It was a text from an unknown number."I didn't expect you to be working at the convenience store. What a coincidence. I'm about to start work at the Jacobs Group. You've heard of the Jacobs Group, right? It's the top enterprise in Empfield. I hope when I go to your store with my friends in the future, you can pretend to not know me. It's an embarrassment if you say hello to me."It was obvious that the person who had sent this text was Nicole.Laura looked at the text indifferently and tapped on the delete button. She had no intention of replying anything to Nicole.However,
Laura's face turned cold. "If you don't believe me, then there's nothing I can say."She turned around in an attempt to avoid Nicole, but she didn't expect Nicole to reach out in to try to push her."Don't you think you're going too far?"Laura's face darkened. She grabbed Nicole's wrist and pushed Nicole away.However, Nicole seemed to not know when to give up. She continued to walk towards Laura, but due to her fast pace and the high heels she was wearing, she accidentally sprained her ankle. After that, she fell on to the ground.She was holding her phone and her phone fell out of her hand as well.Laura looked at Nicole, who was know on the ground."Sorry to keep you waiting."When the receptionist came back, she paid Laura and looked at Nicole, who was on the ground, in surprise.After Laura received the money, she thanked the receptionist and walked out of the Jacobs Group. She didn't even glance at Nicole a second time.This caused Nicole's red to turn red. 'I can't be
