Chapter 1624
Noticing that Nicole was indeed feeling unwell, Samuel and Spencer gently helped her into the car in a hurry. As for Nicole, she avoided any contact and movements with her shoulder, planning to treat it once she got home.
Deep down, however, she was cursing at the predicament she was in. * Crap, I've forgotten that the dinner is today. If there's a bruise, how am I supposed to wear a dress?"
After Samuel and Spencer had gotten into the car, the driver quickly drove back them to the Riddle residence, where everyone at was busy dressing up. Upon arrival, Samuel and Spencer scattered to get their own change of clothes.
Meanwhile, Nicole went straight upstairs after greeting her parents.
There was not much time left for her to check the school's surveillance cameras, and so, she could only find a way to deal with her wound first.
The second she took her coat off, she noticed that her shoulder was swollen and severely bruised.
Even though the Beacon could speed her recovery up, it would be impossible to remove all traces of the bruise, for the dinner would begin in two hours.
Nicole pondered for a bit before grabbing the dress that Jared had given here, deciding to make some last-minute adjustments by stitching up the parts which would leave her shoulder exposed.
Although it looked a little less sexy, it could cover the bruise well enough while maintaining the air of dignity. After she had taken care of that, the stylist her family had hired came upstairs to help her out with her hair, and when she went back to the living room downstairs, everyone stared at her.
Even though Nicole was always beautiful, there would always be something different about it in each and every single occasion, and that was what drew the admiration of everyone around her.
"You're really beautiful, Nicole."
"Yeah, if only Nicole was my companion for tonight..." Spencer sighed.
"Dream on." Samuel rolled his eyes at him.
The entire family broke into a fit of laughter.
Samuel suddenly remembered something. "Nicole, what about our companions? Have you forgotten about it?"
This was a big deal for them. Their brothers all had their own companions and it would be quite unsightly if they did not have one themselves.
The second Nicole saw the look of anticipation on Samuel and Spencer's faces, she smiled awkwardly. "I... really did forget about it..."
