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
The buffet was very popular. There would be a lot of customers every evening. Chris knew if Laura waited for him at the convenience store, then there probably wouldn't be any free tables by the time they got there.Chris didn't want his own problems to affect Laura.After all, it would make anyone disappointed if what one was looking forward to was canceled.Chris didn't want to do anything that would make Laura feel disappointed.Laura was planning on waiting for Chris."It's alright. You don't need to wait for me. I'm worried that there won't be any places left if you wait for me."His voice was deep just like before, but the words "it's alright" made Laura's ears turn red.Laura felt like he was coaxing a child.She then nodded slightly.After getting off work, Laura sat in Chris's "friend's" car and headed towards the seafood buffet.She felt that it was a little inappropriate if she just sat there, so she went and got some food and then sat at the table to wait for Chris
Chris didn't speak, but Laura could still feel his eyes on her in the dark.Laura struggled again but was unable to break free, so she gave up."Chris, what are you doing?"There was helplessness in Laura's voice."What's up with you today? Why are you ignoring me?""I'm not...""I call bullshit on that."Chris's voice was a little cold, but if Laura listened carefully, he sounded a little pitiful as well."Have I done something that made you mad? If you're mad at me, you can tell me why, but please don't ignore me like this."Chris could feel that Laura didn't want to talk to him. He might not have said anything, but deep down, he felt very uncomfortable.That was when Chris recalled Assistant Jacobs' words and felt that a woman could really be unpredictable at times.'Could it be that some of my actions made her mad, but I just didn't know?' wondered Chris.This was a situation that Chris didn't want to be in."Tell me what have I done wrong. I won't do something like th
"Nothing. I'm going to wash up and then go to bed." Laura's ears began to turn red.She pushed Chris away, placed the bag in her hand on the shelf, quickly changed her shoes, and then ran into the bathroom.Chris's eyes followed Laura until she closed the bathroom doors. After that, he looked away.Meanwhile, his eyes darkened a little.At first, Christ felt a little excited when Laura asked him about the picture.He was wondering if Laura was jealous.However, when he heard Laura say that she didn't like people lying to her, Chris's heart sank.On the morning of the next day.Laura got out of bed and had breakfast with Chris just like before.When she thought of what happened the night before, Laura was still a little embarrassed. She didn't even dare to look Chris in the eyes.Chris still acted like his usual self and even peeled a hard-boiled egg for Laura, but Laura didn't accept the egg."I can peel my own egg, you can have it."Chris raised his head and glanced at Lau
