Sebastian glanced at Nicole on the opposite side, who was still expressionless.
‘‘This girl is incredibly indifferent and reliable" he thought.
He then smiled and said, "Nicole, consider this piece o f gem a reward for winning first place in the Math Olympiad."
Nicole picked up the gemstone and handed it back to Sebastian.
"Mr.Wyance, do keep this piece of gem for yourself.I appreciate the offer, but you've given me a lot ina year.I don't think there's enough space in my room anymore." Nicole knew that the gem meant something to Sebastian.
He took it with him wherever he went.
Thus, she did not want to take it away from him.
The coldness in her eyes melted away at the thought o f how he had been silently taking care of her and her grandmother over the past few years.
Nicole did not expect to meet him under such circumstances since h e was a busy man.
Moreover, she was not always in Great Oak.
Despite the two of them having contact for the past three years, they had only met a handful of times.
Sebastian shook his head and looked at Nicole with a gentle smile on his face.
"Take it, I insist."
Nicole acknowledged his sincerity and took the gemstone in her hands.She held onto it while feeling its smooth texture.
