She slid her hands through his back from behind and stopped just on top his shoulder, that was too undeniable to ignore.

“Oh it is you again, I did not see you there,” he said to her, completely pretending that he never recognized her presence around him at all.

He had to talk to Nicole about her most recent actions of taken things too lightly and being nonchalant about the dangers of being too conspicuous.“hey Jeremy… so, you were tracking my calls? Well I was ignorant to the fact that that was even possible,” Nicole said to Jeremy as she saw him, he was waiting for her in his study room while her friends stayed in the living room.“It is obvious that I can not control you or make you do what I would believe us the right thing so I have decided to join you in your endeavors in case you are still interested in finding out who the hell
