Chapter 49 Long Time No See, Nicole



Chapter 49 Long Time No See, Nicole

"How about Austin now?"

"Mr. Jacob, Austin has been taking care of his mother, Selina in the hospital. She was having a tryst with the owner of the store near her neighborhood. The news has been spread to the wife of the owner. That woman was so shrewish that she even stopped Selina on the road and injured her."

A moment later, Jacob said slowly, " the fish rots from the head. Keep an eye on them. If they dare to do anything bad again, report to me immediately."

"Yes, that... Is it necessary to arrange Austin to go back to his work? "

"That's right. I'll give him a promotion and a raise. This time, I want to make him have a fantasy."

Nicole couldn't help shivering when she heard Jacob's gloomy voice.

"Well, you can go about your business."

"Yes."

Nicole left in a hurry and walked quickly to the spiral stairs where she pretended to be standing there alone.

A man in a brown suit walked out of Jacob's office. When he passed Nicole, he just nodded at her politely and left without saying anything.

Nicole watched him leave, lost in thought.

She couldn't help thinking about the message she had just heard.

First of all, what surprised her most was that her ex mother-in-law, Selina had a lover outside, and she was a mistress!

This news was so explosive that Nicole couldn't believe it.

But when she tried to calm down a little, she thought of a lot of details that she had never noticed in the past.

For example, sometimes when Selina told Nicole that she wanted to go out to play cards, she would clean up for several hours in advance, she would take a bath, curl her hair, and she would specially change in bright new clothes.

Besides, Selina was always loud. But sometime she would pick up the phone stealthily, not letting Nicole hear her, not even allowed Austin to hear her.

At that time, although Nicole also felt that these behaviors were strange, she did not think it deep.

Thinking of this, Nicole believed that there must be an omen of having a mistress outside.

It never occurred to her that Selina would be someone's mistress when her son had an affair. Such a family.

Nicole shook her head with mockery. She felt lucky that she had left early and avoided making trouble in the mud.

"What are you thinking about?"

A voice came up suddenly behind Nicole. Nicole was so frightened that she stepped forward and missed the step.

"Ah!"

She panicked and fell down as she closed her eyes subconsciously.

However, when she was halfway through the fall, someone held her waist.

When she came to her senses, she found herself in a broad embrace. Above her head, there was a frown on Jacob's face.

"Sor... I'm sorry... " Nicole apologized for her rude behavior. She wanted to break away from Jacob's arms.

However, Jacob tightened his grip on her waist.

"How long have you woken up?" Said Jacob in a sweet voice.

They were so close to each other that Nicole was a little embarrassed. She swallowed and stammered, "just Just got up. "

"Have you washed yourself?"

"…… Yes. "

"Let's have lunch then."

As soon as Jacob finished his words, he put his arms around Nicole and went downstairs. He didn't give Nicole any chance to refuse.

After they sat at the table, the servants who had prepared the meal at once began to serve. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Nicole took a peep at Jacob's serious look, and dispelled all the questions in her heart.

As for the matter about Austin's work, she would ask it in the further when she got chance.

'I'd better not piss him off now, ' she thought.

After they finished the lunch in silence, Nicole hesitated for a long time and then broke the silence.

"Can I go back now?"

Jacob seemed to know what Nicole would say, so he was not surprised but replied "Hum".

Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her younger brother needed to go to school, so she had to take care of her mother and brother. Even though she was dissatisfied with him, she could not irritate him at this time.

"Okay, I'll leaving. See you."

Because of what happened last night, when the two of them talked to and looked at each other, there was a subtle awkwardness, as if the misunderstandings were created between them overnight.

The source of disagreement was Jacob's so-called fiancee.

"I'll send someone to pick you up next Saturday."

When Nicole was about to go out with her bag on her back, Jonny suddenly spoke.

Nicole, who was about to step out, suddenly stopped when she heard what Jacob said. She was stunned with her back to Jacob for a few seconds before she replied with a muffled hum.

It could be heard that she was reluctant to make the sound.

But Jacob didn't lose his temper. He turned around and went upstairs, without looking back at Nicole.

Nicole stood there for a while, looked up at the cloudy sky and sighed.

In fact, she had no right to laugh at Selina.

It seemed that she was also a mistress in the eyes of Jacob's fiancee.

After Nicole left, Jacob was standing on the second floor, facing the door. He stared at the place where Nicole was standing before she left for a long time.

With a helpless and struggle in his eyes, he was determined to get her.

Nicole took the small cakes and bread she bought from the cake store she passed by home. Then she found a guest at home.

"Nicole, long time no see."

Nicole was very surprised, " Consuela? "

With a bright smile, Consuela said, "you still can recognize me. Not bad. Come over here."

They hugged each other tightly and sighed.

"We haven't seen each other for so many years, but you still haven't changed a lot. You still look so silly and pure."

Nicole laughed, "you haven't changed a lot as well, but you are more like an evil spirit since you were a child."

"Hey! How dare you talk to me like that! "

They both laughed, with tears in their eyes.

Consuela was Nicole's classmate from high school, and Nicole had the most fun time among her in high school. After all, Nicole studied very hard at high school and was not very interested in making good friends.

Then Nicole suddenly transferred to another school, so they communicated in letters. After they went into college, they were out of contact gradually.

It was the first time they had met since they parted in high school.

"At that time, you suddenly changed school and left. We didn't know why, but we really guessed it for a long time, thinking that you went abroad with Mr. Jack, but it turned out that you wrote to me and I knew that..."

"Hush..."

Seeing her brother trotting towards her with a plate of fruits in his hands, Nicole gestured for Consuela to be quiet.

"Sister, you two have some apples." Jim replied obediently.

Consuela took the hint and stopped talking. She turned to look at Jim and asked him a few questions. The latter replied with shyness and politeness.

After Jim went back to his room for study, Consuela again grabbed Nicole's arm, her face full of curiosity and gossip.

"Nicole, don't your family know about this?"
