Chapter 845 “Wow. What a beautiful ruby carving!” Norah’s eyes twinkled with a coveting smile on her lips. “Jared is so generous. Such a large piece of fine ruby carving must be worth a lot! “Steve said
“Nicole, when Jared has the time, invite him here for a meal.” Gloria looked at Nicole with delight.
“Okay, Mom.”
Norah looked at the ruby carving and became even more jealous of Nicole. She always thought that Nicole had snatched the man who should have belonged to her. 1
The family rejoiced until the evening.
After Norah left, everyone else could finally breathe a sigh of relief, as if everyone except Daniel and Gloria felt uncomfortable with Norah’s presence. Nicole returned to school the next day. Because today was a rest day, fewer students were at the school than usual. When she was looking up some materials in the library, Zeke suddenly came looking for her.
“Nicole, you’re really hard to find.” Zeke had had a time getting to her.
“What are you looking for me for?” Nicole glanced at him.
“I heard you helped Edwin with an urgent job?” Zeke looked at Nicole with displeasure.
“Yeah.”
“Why didn’t you take me with you? I’m your right-hand man.” Zeke was not too happy that he was not invited.
“That job came too sudden, and I forgot about you.” Nicole continued to look at the material carefully, without turning her head to look at him. “You forgot about me? You’re too much.” Zeke shouted angrily, but then he realized he was in a library. He hurriedly looked around to see if anyone was looking at him.
“You’re too much.” He now whispered.
“But I have a more exciting job right now. Are you interested?” Nicole now turned to look at him.
