Kai sniffled and tilted his head 45 degrees up to look u p at the sky.
"That tiramisu was supposed to be Julie’s dessert. It's become my habit to prepare afternoon tea for her.
Now, I can't deliver it to her, so you got a good deal!"
Nicole was speechless.
So, was she supposed to be thankful?
"If I were Julie, I would’ve dumped you long ago!"
Nicole swept a glance at her phone screen.
It had been three minutes since the call, but Julie did not make a sound. She should be listening.
Kai sounded frustrated. “How can you compare with m y Julie?!"
Nicole's eyes went cold, and she immediately kicked him out of her office. "Get lost!”
Nicole had just lost her temper, and Kai was pissing her off again.
Kai knew he could not offend her and ran away with a grunt.
Nicole took a deep breath before picking up the phone.
"Jules, did you hear that? My third brother is probably crazy. I should get him a psychiatrist."
The person on the other side of the call listened quietly and laughed.
"He only says this to you. He's always very stable in front of me."
"Who cares?! If he shows you his true form, I guess you wouldn't be able to stand him long ago!" Nicole spoke.
Julie said, "That’s not necessarily true. I'd prefer if he’s more straightforward so that I don’t have to guess what he’s thinking."
Nicole paused. "Whether you're with him or not, I’ll support you fully. But if you make up your mind, don't hesitate and rip out the band-aid earlier. Since he's m y brother, just give it to him straight!"
After a while.
Julie's tone was relaxed. "Don't worry. I don’t intend to break up with him. I just want him to know where my bottom line is. If he can't accept that, then it'll be another thing to worry about. But this call made me realize that I was a little too much for leaving him like this."
Nicole sighed and supported her chin with her hands.
"That's true. I've rarely seen Kai speaking and acting s o cautiously.”
"I'll take tomorrow's flight back. Tell him to come and pick me up?"
Julie laughed.
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "No problem! He'll probably die of joy!"
