Chapter 1654
Jared kept his eyes on Nicole’s figure as she walked off, his eyes filled with loving tenderness. It was only after he had seen her enter the manor that he ordered Max to drive away.
As for Max, he truly felt that his boss was becoming a man who was distinct as compared to who he was. With Nicole around, his employer was really getting increasingly more... human.
'To think that my employer would one day be reluctant to see someone go, to play coy, to play hard to get. Damn!' he thought.
When Nicole got into the house, everyone was already done with dinner.
Knowing that her father, Sean, and Stanley would definitely be busy in the study, she did not bother them. Instead, she went and joined her mother at the couch.
Gloria's favorite program to watch on weekdays was the gossip news channel, during which her eyes would be glued to the TV with much engrossment. Seeing that Nicole had come to accompany her, she happily pushed all of the snacks on the coffee table to Nicole.
"Have some, my dear. All of these are rare snacks. They were gifts given to us during the previous banquet," she said.
"Oh..." Nicole glanced at the snacks, observing that the Riddle family was no longer how it used to be.
Now, her mother would always be watching the gossip news channel, and the table would constantly be filled with particularly expensive snacks...
Nicole casually picked one that she liked and ate it.
It was at this moment that she heard the latest gossip on TV. "The role of the main heroine for Lukewarm had been left hanging for quite some time now, and news just broke a few days ago that the role has been cast. However, this mysterious female lead has never shown her face, and tonight’s Entertainment News journalist has managed to catch Lloyd going out for a meal with a beautiful woman. We originally thought that she was his girlfriend, but Lloyd’s manager has since clarified that she is the person playing the heroine of Lukewarm..."
On the side of the news broadcast, the screen showed a picture taken by a paparazzi.
Nicole was shocked, for she had only just gone out for a meal with Lloyd and they had already been photographed by a paparazzi. And during the hour when she was out on a date with Jared, she had already been suspected to be Lloyd's girlfriend.
Fortunately, Lloyd had stepped in to clear the air, or else, she would have to look for him and give him an earful.
