"Hi."
Noticing that Jacob was looking at her, Sabina winked at him flirtatiously.
Seeing this, Frank immediately made fun of Jacob and asked, "what's wrong with you, Jacob? Are you interested in the woman in my arms?"
His words showed no respect for Sabina. Bevis couldn't help glancing at her.
But she didn't seem to care about that. Sabina sat on Frank's lap intimately, smiling charmingly.
However, that was not a temptation for Jacob, who never flirted with women and had a good private life.
He looked away, picked up the glass and took a small sip. Looking at the direction of the dancing floor indifferently, he said, "no, I'm not interested in her."
The smile on Sabina's face disappeared, and her alluring pose turned stiff.
"You are so..."
His frank words made Bevis laugh. With a pout, he lowered his head and burst into laughter.
"Humph!" Frank retorted, pouting. "I know why you care so little about women outside. There is someone in your heart..."
But before he could finish his words, he noticed that Jacob's expression changed.
All the three of them knew who the woman mentioned was, but they didn't dare to say it out loud.
After all, the relationship between Jacob and Nicole was not as sweet as before when they were in high school. And Jacob's mind became unpredictable.
"Jacob..."
Taking notice of the tense atmosphere, Bevis immediately came to mediate the quarrel. "Well, come on, let's have a drink. Since Jacob has sacrificed his working time to accompany us, we should have a good relax."
"Yes, let's drink."
Frank stuck out his tongue and immediately took up the wine glass and drank it up.
Fortunately, they were all friends, so Jacob didn't care about it. They ignored this unpleasant topic and continued to drink and chat.
Sabina was good at gauging people's mind. Although she didn't show any expression on her face, she kept that sentence in mind.
She thought it would be much easier to win Jacob's heart if she could figure out what kind of person the 'someone' was.
After all, it was easy to find out men's likes and dislikes.
It seemed that her plan was going to work, but she didn't expect that things would go wrong this time.
After all, Jacob was not some ordinary man she had known, and this time, she couldn't imitate the woman because the woman referred to Nicole.
The sweet time they spent together couldn't be copied and replaced
---
After dinner, Nicole curled up on the sofa, chatting with Alex on the phone in her hands. The latter dragged her into a training group, where there were many new employees that had just been signed up by the company. They were very excited in the group, chatting so excitedly.
"Let's friend each other and recommend each other."
"Yes, let's do it now."
However, Nicole was not so excited. She was a cautious and slow type, either in reality or on the Internet. She went into the group for half an hour. Except for greeting, she was mainly diving.
But it was interesting to see these people chatting.
Nicole had never heard of it before, so she didn't know that there were so many popular online words, so many interesting tricks and so many smiling emojis.
"Miss Nicole, what makes you so happy?" Lily, who was cleaning the room, couldn't help asking.
"Look at this, Lily." then Nicole clicked on the photo and showed it to Lily. It was a little cat lying on the ground, with an expression of grievance. And the words on the picture added: they were childish, pitiful and helpless.
Lily frowned and asked, "what's wrong?"
"It's so adorable!"
