"The Japanese food here is very delicious. Let's try it?" Seeing no response from Nicole, Consuela suggested.
Nicole nodded, "okay."
After they entered the Japanese restaurant and sat down, Nicole ordered the meal absentmindedly. The scene that she watched Bevis and Consuela kept flashing through her mind.
After a long while, Consuela still didn't say a word. Finally, Nicole couldn't help but ask Consuela politely, "what have you been busy with recently?"
Consuela shrugged her shoulders. "I was just busy with my family stuff and my company's affairs. Messy around."
"What about you and Bevis? How are you doing after the party?" Asked Nicole, but Consuela tried to avoid her question.
"What? Bevis? He... He did sent me home," Consuela continued, looking a little awkward, "and we are still normal friends as usual."
Nicole and Consuela had known each other for a long time, so Nicole could easily tell that Consuela was telling a clumsy lie.
But why did Consuela have to tell a lie?
'now that she has made some progress with Bevis, isn't it a good thing to share?'?
Why didn't she tell me?
Actually, Nicole was very confused. But she didn't want to embarrass her friend, she decided to let it go if Consuela didn't want to talk about it.
Nicole thought that maybe Consuela was hiding something from her, or maybe she just wanted to wait until everything with Bevis was settled.
Since Consuela was there, they didn't eat in silence, but less relaxed than before.
After lunch, Consuela and Nicole parted. Standing alone by the street lamp, Nicole suddenly realized that she was going to ask Consuela about the gossip news of Jacob.
Nicole had been a little worried before, fearing that Consuela would ask her about her relationship with Jacob. However, it was obvious that her worry was unnecessary, because Consuela didn't mention that at all.
This polite Consuela didn't look like the usual her at all. Nicole was really worried about her.
Nicole returned to Jacob's villa, feeling more worried than before she met Consuela.
"Miss Nicole, you are back."
Lily welcomed Nicole warmly as Nicole entered the house.
"Yes." Nicole nodded and forced a smile. "Lily, I'm a little tired. I'm going to have a rest now."
"Go and get some sleep."
Actually Nicole didn't want to sleep. She was just upset and wanted to be alone for a while.
Back in the bedroom, she took off her coat and closed the door. After being in a daze for a while, she turned on the computer and began to edit the video.
It lasted for an afternoon.
After sending the video to the website as usual, Nicole went downstairs for dinner.
Jacob didn't come back, and Nicole didn't ask about him. She sat quietly at the table and finished dinner.
Seeing her in low spirits, Lily said nothing more.
After dinner, she went back to the bedroom. Nicole replied several private messages and some comments. When she was about to turn off the computer to wash her face, she suddenly received a new private message.
