Chapter 534
It was peaceful and quiet in the café.
Nicole chatted with Carl for a while before she noticed him rubbing his forehead tiredly.
'He must've come to look for me right after he got off the plane.He's so tired because he's still jet-lagged from the time difference, ' Nicole thought.
She quickly stood up before turning to Carl.
"Where do you stay?" she asked.
Carl raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.
"Why? Will you be sending me back?" he asked lazily.
Nicole nodded without hesitation.
Then, she stood up and walked out.
When Claus saw them leaving, he walked up and flashed Nicole a smile.
He twirled the car keys and said playfully, "Mr...Friend of Ms.Riddle.The chairman has instructed us to send you wherever you wish you go."
Carl looked at the man in shock, "And your chairman is?"
Nicole glanced at Jared in silence.He was leaning against the bar counter and did not seem to notice them.
However, the moment she cast her gaze at him, he lifted his head slightly to meet her eyes.
Carl followed Nicole's gaze.
When he saw Jared, he paused before asking incredulously, "That's him?"
Claus nodded innocently.It did not take long before Claus started feeling uncomfortable.He twitched the corner of his lips before saying in a decisive tone, "It's fine."
Meanwhile, Jared stood up and sauntered up to them.
"You don't come to Hustuaburg often.Since you're Nicole's friend, we must do what we can to make you feel at home," he said with a smile.
Jared then walked up to Nicole and gently grabbed her hand.He was now standing right in front of Carl.
Carl watched as Nicole did not struggle out of his grip.He sighed deeply.
"It's fine."
