The grass and trees in the forest were wild and tall, with huge canopies of leaves shading the sky.
Occasionally, some sunlight sprinkled through the leaves. It was vibrant and soothing.
The path was very rugged, so it took a lot of effort to walk through.
They had to reach the scheduled checkpoint before dark, where they would be given some supplies. Otherwise, they would have to sleep on the rocks.
Thus, Nicole was not in the mood to play along with Mikayla at this time.
However, Mikayla was still relentlessly trying to add frills to the situation.
"Ms. Nicole, I just thought that you and Nathaniel have gone through so many hardships together, so you must have some feelings for each other. I don't mean anything else..."
Mikayla's cautious look was annoying Nicole.
Nicole stopped a dozen meters away on the path that was covered up by trees and looked back at Mikayla.
Mikayla did not expect Nicole to suddenly stop, so she subconsciously stumbled a step back and stood firm.
She waited for Nicole's response.
Nicole stared straight at Mikayla with cold and indifferent eyes.
"Ms. Mikayla, I’m two years younger than you, so you don't have to be so polite. I told you that you can just call me Nicole."
'Why the hell is she calling me Ms. Nicole? Am I her teacher?!' Nicole thought.
Mikayla's face turned pale. She could finally see Nicole's displeasure and subconsciously panicked.
"Nicole... I-I'm sorry..."
"Also, we’re on an adventure, not an emotional variety show, so I don’t need to share my private matters and personal feelings with you, right? The most important thing now is to pass the checkpoint, don’t you think?"
Mikayla had to admit that Nicole had a different aura compared with ordinary actresses. Nicole standing there with a clear and cold smile could already make others feel the pressure.
Nicole's gaze was crystal clear as if she could see through everything with a glance. The darkness in Mikayla’s heart instantly had nowhere to hide.
