Chapter 1719
Nicole scoffed. "I can't see any sincerity in him at all. How could he send his little brother to talk to me?"
Besides, Ryder was pretty skillful himself, and Nicole wanted to know more about him because he might come in handy.
Nonetheless, she stopped thinking about that and went downstairs to exit the building, and that was when she heard someone shouting at her before they could even make their way to the school gate. ’Nicole, stand right there! IV
Nicole knew that it was Ryder judging by his voice. However, she ignored him and kept walking.
Ryder got so mad that he came off his high horse as a senior and rushed up to her to stand in her way. "Stop!"
Other students who were still on campus shifted their gaze at them at that instant.
They probably knew how embarrassed Ryder was in the morning, but they were not expecting to find Ryder with a band-aid on his nose bridge. Worse still, the band-aid really did make him look funny.
Nicole looked at him coldly, after which, she lifted her chin and asked, "Yes? Can I help you?"
"Don't act stupid!" Ryder yelled, unable to hold himself back.
Nicole lifted her brows unhappily. "Your attitude is scaring me. I want to go home.”
Then, she attempted to get past Ryder again, and that was when she noticed that she was not afraid of him at all.
Worse still, she did not even want to talk to him.
"That's enough! I-I'll be more polite, okay?" Then, he stretched his arm out to stop her from leaving before taking a deep breath to calm himself down. "You said that you can remove the virus earlier. Is that true?"
He was close to breaking down. He needed to use the information tomorrow and he would be doomed if he could not get it fixed by today.
"M-hmm," Nicole replied.
Ryder's eyes sparkled upon hearing that, but it was also then that his dignity got the better of him. "Tell me, how can I get you to help me?"
