Chapter 118


    “Yeah.”


    Nichole couldn’t say otherwise because Tina and Krystal had seen Jamese to look for her at


    school several times before


    Tina said with a tone of suspicion, Then why didn’t you mention it when you left the dorm today?


    Usually, if your boyfriend is taking you to a party, you can’t wait to let us know in advance”


    “You didn’t tell me you were attending this event as well, right?” Nichole forced a smile and asked,


    “What brings you here anyway?”


    “What? Only your boyfriend can attend such events, and my parents can’t?” Krystal retorted


    disdainfully, clearly implying that her family background was far superior to Nichole’s


    Nichole bit her lip. “That’s not what I meant…”


    Krystal pressed on, “Perfect! Since you’ve been looking for a chance to introduce him to us, why not


    now? Everyone’s here. Introduce your boyfriend to us.”


    Tina chimed in, “Right, your boyfriend’s a businessman too, right? He looks like a big shot. My parents


    might as well invest some money with him.”


    Nichole’s expression darkened. “But my boyfriend never lets me interfere with his business.


    “Are you kidding? Isn’t he the one helping you with school and even nning to send you abroad to


    study? He takes you to every dinner party, so how could he not let you have a say?” Krystal said


    sarcastically. “You wouldn’t be refusing to introduce us, would you?”


    “How could that be?” Nichole bit her lip and replied, “I’ll talk to him about it, but whether you meet my


    boyfriend or not is up to him.” “That’s more like it. Now go on. We’ll be waiting in the hall.” Krystal and


    Tina exchanged a knowing look. They were not as easily fooled as before.


    Nichole reluctantly returned to where James was. James asked, “What took you so long?”


    “James, I ran into two ssmates. They want me to introduce you to their parents to discuss business


    James frowned, his expression clearly unamused.


    Colt interjected, “Ms. Nichole, you do know what kind of status Mr. Burke holds, right?” Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    In Devonport, James was a top figure, and not just anyone was worthy of his attention, let alone


    business talks.


    Nichole realized her mistake. “I know. I’ll go and talk to them right now!”


    James didn’t want to meet them, and she actually breathed a sigh of relief.


    She apologized to Krystal and Tina, who looked visibly annoyed. Tina frowned, “What’s with your


    boyfriend’s attitude? Who does he think he is?”


    “Exactly, our families were also invited, which proves our worth, too!” Krystal’s face showed disdain.


    Nichole felt increasingly nervous, worried that their loud voices might reach James’ ears. They still


    didn’t realize the man they were talking about was the well-known James Burke of Devonport!


    Just then, the door opened again, and Sophie and Jenna walked in arm in arm, followed by Adler and


    Colby. As soon as these four entered, they immediately became the center of attention.


    more. “How does she even deserve to be here?”


    Krystal frowned even m


    Tina looked at Nichole with furrowed brows, noticing Nichole’s distressed face and trembling legs.


    Sophie being here was thest thing Nichole needed!
