Chapter 676
Max looked at the lit screen and then at Jared, who was getting some shut-eye beside him.
From the time he got off the plane in the morning until now, he had not closed his eyes. As soon as he got into the car, the enervation got the better of him and he shut his eyes. So Max did not want to bother him. “We’re on our way and will be there soon,” he said.
In the café, Nicole studied for a while and then reached for the caramel macchiato. She frowned after taking a sip.
‘It’s all the same ingredients , but how does he make it taste so much better?’
Nicole sighed softly as she put the cup back in place and continued studying. She did not touch the cup again until she left the café. After tasting something better, she no longer settled for less.
Claus could not help but feel disappointed when his boss had not arrived, and he felt sorry to keep Nicole waiting. It was not until Nicole had gone far that he came over to clean up the table. But when he picked up the cup, he saw Nicole had barely drunk the coffee, and for a moment, he felt not too happy.
He immediately texted Max on the phone, complaining that Nicole did not respect the fruits of his labor, that she did not appreciate such a delicious coffee, and that she really had a bad taste.
Max was stuck in traffic. Jared’s face had darkened, as black as ink, looking as if he would lose his cool at any time.
He saw the message from Claus and calmly turned the screen off. But his phone still kept vibrating, as if the other side had no way to vent his grouses. Now, even Jared had taken notice.
Max could only calmly tell Jared the truth. “Nicole couldn’t wait and has left.”
Jared’s expression turned gloomy. “It’s okay. She’s gone, but I can go find her.”
Nicole was on her way back. She wondered why Jared had not come as promised. Guessing that he might be busy, so she did not call him. She put on the headphones and listened to the music as she walked back.
