Chapter 106
Nicole looked on as the group dispersed.
The few that remained were familiar faces, and they were those who had followed Austin around every day, and she had some measure of them.
It seems like only these few were sincere towards Austin and were not taking advantage of his status for something.
The remaining few looked at Austin, who was fuming and sad at the same time, and then looked at Nicole who sat there calmly, seemingly having predicted this to happen, and asked,” Boss, Austin, what should we do now?”
Austin did not speak, instead, Nicole did.
“Go upstairs.
There are private rooms there.
Find one and get in.
I’ll be there in a moment.”
When Austin heard that, he looked at Nicole in astonishment.
He did not expect that even with so few left, Nicole would still abide by their agreement.
After all, he had always thought that the reason Nicole was willing to be his boss was because he had considerable influence in school.
Yet even after this farce, she was totally unperturbed and was still read to help him with his studies.
What Nicole saw was not his power, but him as a person!
Thinking of this, Austin was really glad that he insisted on taking Nicole as his boss and had never given up on that.
Otherwise, he would not have been able to see everything as they were now.
Austin clenched his fist, and he turned to look at the remaining few as he said with a rumbling voice.
“Thank you all for staying.
From today onwards, I will only take you guys as my bros.
The others can go screw themselves!”
The few looked at him, a look of determination appeared in their eyes.
All of them followed Austin since the beginning, so naturally they were unlike those people.
“Austin, don‘t worry, man.
We are with you!” Austin gave them a grateful look and then turned towards Nicole.
“Boss, thank you for letting me see clearly who my true friends are.”
He gave Nicole a deep bow and as she looked at him, she said softly, “You can do without that baggage, they‘ll just hold you back, leaving you deep in the quagmire.
Austin, congratulations on escaping that swamp of misery.”
Austin was taken aback What Nicole said was true.
Before those people got around him, he was not so arrogant.
It was them who were instigating him, saying that a school bully should act like a tyrant, a school bully shouldn‘t study hard.
Only the school beauty was a match for him.
That was why he was causing trouble all over, all to prove that he was powerful.
As he thought of that, a contemplative look appeared in Austin‘s eyes.
Wasn‘t what Nicole was doing now helping him to get rid of those stinkers around him?
Seeing that he was deep in thought, Nicole did not rush him.
She lowered her head and packed her stuff up as she prepared to go to the second floor with them.
As she turned around, she saw Jared Johnston standing not too far away, his eyes locked onto her.
Jared noticed that she was looking at him, and a look of displeasure appeared in his eyes.
He had thought that she despised all men like she did with him.
‘What was so good about that punk from the Woods family? Why is she so nice to them?’ The more he thought about it, the more pissed off he got.
“Add a cup of coffee for each of my friends there.
