Nicole could imagine the angry face of Zane Spears on the other side of the monitor screen. She felt sorry. She was too anxious and should not have answered the phone. But she really just wanted to make sure Carl was safe and did not think much about it that time. Thinking of this, Nicole sighed softly, with a rare sense of helplessness on her face. The phone in her hand rang again. This time, the screen showed it was a call from Samuel.
Nicole did not expect Samuel to call. She pressed the answer button, put the phone to her ear, and Samuel’s energetic voice on the other end of the phone came to ear. “Do you have time, Nicole? Spencer and I will come to pick you up and go out to dinner together.”
Nicole did not have classes in the afternoon, and she did not plan to go to the evening self study class either. So, after thinking about it, she replied, “I am free afterward. Wait for me at the school gate. I will go out to meet you guys now.”
Spencer and Samuel had many fans. It would be troublesome for them to pick her up from her dormitory.
After hanging up, Nicole got changed, gave Lulu a heads-up, and left.
Lulu was still busy online and just waved her hand to acknowledge Nicole when she heard Nicole’s voice.
Nicole glanced at the computer in front of her and saw dense, glaring red fonts on the screen.“ Wrap it up and get some rest. I will bring you food when I am back.”
“Okay.” Lulu did not even look up.
Nicole went downstairs. There was nothing much she could do. In fact, she could not care less about what people said about her online. Otherwise, she would have hacked into the school’s online forum and erased everything on it. It was just that she did not bother to do that.
At the school gate, Nicole could see from afar Samuel waving at her. Judging by the shape of his mouth, he must be calling her to go over quickly. Meanwhile, Spencer was standing some distance from Samuel, looking at him with disgust.
Nicole smiled. It was only after she got closer that she found Norah also came along, looking at her with displeasure.
Norah had moved to the campus for two days and had little time with her brothers. That was the reason she asked Samuel and Spencer out. She did not expect them to call Nicole.
She was exasperated at seeing her two brothers grin ear-to-ear when Nicole came out.
Nicole could not help but snicker when she saw the look on Norah’s face.
She as well came beside Samuel and made a cordial smile at him deliberately.
“Where are we going, Samuel?” Her smile was so sweet that it stunned Samuel.
“Where-where are we going?” Samuel looked blankly at Spencer, his mind seemingly out of whack.
“Didn’t you just say you were going to ask Nicole where she wanted to go? Why look at me?” Spencer had a bewildered look on his face.
