The people passing by did not notice and only thought that they were lovers, or that the girl was drunk and was taken away by her boyfriend.
As for the college couple earlier, the guy looked on with wide eyes. "She's... The man beside her isn't the same man from before...”
The girl also nodded. "This man isn't as good-looking a s the last one. Sigh, love triangles are so complicated!"
However, they had to admit that this woman’s temperament alone was out of their reach.
It was not surprising that so many men chased after her.
Fifteen minutes passed.
Clayton was speechless about this movie. Although it was suspenseful in the beginning, it gradually became a little boring. Even the plot was a cliche of hatred being born from love.
He looked at the time, then glanced in the direction of the door.
Nicole was not back yet.
Clayton frowned and stood up after a while.
He knew that Yvette was most likely looking for her to share the latest news of Eric's engagement. No one could stop a woman's gossip-loving nature. Although h e was a little uncomfortable, he felt like he could still bear it.
After all, Nicole chose him.
However, a long time had passed.
Clayton really could not wait any longer. He walked out and did not see anyone at the door.
His heart suddenly stuttered.
He heard Yvette's voice from a certain direction.
"Are you even listening? I'm trying so hard but you’re not even responding? Even if I interrupted your date, how can a man be more important than your best friend..."
When Clayton saw Nicole’s phone on the ground, his face turned pale.
He walked over, picked it up, and put the phone to his ear.
"Ms. Quimbey?”
Clayton tried to suppress the panic in his voice.
He pretended to be calm.
"Clayton? Why are you here? Where's Nicole?"
"She's missing. Her phone was thrown on the floor... When did you stop hearing her responses?"
Clayton looked around. The long corridor on the right led to the washroom, but he immediately dismissed that option.
