As they were being stared at by Jared, Gary and Ryder felt the overwhelming presence looming over them.
However, Gary tried his best to resist Jared's presence nonetheless, and in a tone indicative of his dissatisfaction, he replied, "Nicole and I are classmates. Isn't it normal for us to know each other well?"
Seeing how headstrong Gary was, Jared looked at Ryder and mocked, "Then, is Ryder classmates with Nicole too?"
Ryder did not know how to explain himself, and as such, he could only reply awkwardly, "We joined a competition a few days back. I guess we can be considered as teammates."
After all, the three of them were in a team. This, it was not wrong for him to refer to himself as one of Nicole's teammates.
However, Jared felt as though the two of them were simply giving excuses.
The Finley brothers were really timid people. It was obvious that both of them had feelings for Nicole, and yet, they could have a meal with Nicole together. This made others wonder what their actual feelings were.
At that moment, Nicole could tell that Jared was unhappy. Initially, Nicole was quite surprised to see him, but it puzzled her as to why he would see green so suddenly the instant he arrived.
Seeing that Ryder and Gary were done with their meal, Nicole said, "The both of you can head back first. I'd like some time alone with my fiancé. Is that fine?"
Nicole's words made the Finley brothers feel sad. Once her fiancé appeared, she had become totally unavailable to them.
Yet, Ryder could still find it in himself to be cordial about it. "Sure, we'll leave the both of you alone."
Then, he turned around and dragged Gary out without giving him a chance to speak.
Jared watched them leave.
Then, he turned back and looked at Nicole unhappily. "It's one thing for you to have lunch without me. However, you just had to string those two stalkers along?"
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Jared Johnston, you b*stard! You're getting better and better at being jealous now. They're just my schoolmates, and it was a coincidence that they wanted to dine in here too. Wouldn't it be even weirder if we split tables?"
Jared knew that Nicole did not have such intentions. But to Jared, the feelings the two men had for her were clear as day.
"Fortunately, we're getting registered tomorrow. Otherwise, I will never be at peace for the rest of my life," he said.
Jared was not at ease, knowing that his own woman was perfect in every way, and that countless eyes were on her.
At the mention of tomorrow, the look on Nicole's face darkened. "How dare you mention it? You booked such an early flight. I thought of sleeping in a little later."
