Chapter 88

Seeing Jared’s beaming smile, Max could not help but look at him questionably. Jared did not even bother to look at Max and walked straight toward Nicole. He said, “You’re here.”
Nicole nodded and asked directly, “The new coffee, where’s it?” Jared was not taken aback by her straightforwardness at all. He stood up and pulled his sleeves, “I was waiting for you to come so I could make a fresh batch for you.” Max saw him walking to the coffee bar unbelievably.
He pushed his spectacles up his nose. Then, he turned toward Nicole while trying to act cool,” Ms. Riddle, is… Mr. Johnston going to make you a cup of coffee with his own hands?”
His reaction was a little weird. Nicole glanced at him and replied, “Yeah, it isn’t the first time. Why?”
Max turned to look at Jared indifferently and thought, ‘It isn’t the first time.
‘Oh, man.’
When Jared walked out to serve the coffee, he noticed Max standing beside Nicole and staring at him mindlessly. He frowned, “Max, what are you still doing here? Have you finished your work?”
Max came back to his-senses and stopped staring at both of them. He bid them goodbye and
left.

Nicole was not bothered by the weird interactions between them. She only stared at the coffee from Jared. All her focus was on it.
As soon as Jared noticed the way Nicole was staring at that cup of coffee, he could not help but laugh. Sure enough, she is still a child at heart. As long as it involved something she likes, she would be easily attracted.
While smirking, he took the coffee out of the tray and placed it in front of Nicole, “Here, try
some.”
Nicole immediately took a sip after hearing it. Then, her face was shining with a satisfied look. Looking at his bright eyes, Nicole thought he was waiting for her feedback. She slowly opened her mouth, “This caramel macchiato is pretty good. Especially the barista, that’s some good coffee-making skills.” After hearing such comments, Jared’s eyes gleamed with joy. He did not realize when he had started to care about this little brat’s comments. Seeing that Jared was still staring at her, Nicole raised her brows, “That’s all for my feedback Do you have anything else to say?”
Hearing this, Jared’s smile dropped. What did she mean? Chasing him away after drinking the coffee he made? Jared frowned and started to question if his charm was not working on her anymore.
Why is it that this girl was never moved by him? Last time, she did not want to eat with him. This time around, she wanted to chase him away after drinking the coffee. Could it be…that she really was here for the coffee only?
Does that mean that in her heart, Jared was not as important as a cup of coffee?
His arrogance and self-esteem did not stop him from trying. He only snapped his fingers and asked for a cup of coffee, “I’m also having one cup. I’ll head back to work after this.” Nicole nodded. So, that was the plan. The whole place was indeed crowded and full, so she could only accept to share a table with him reluctantly.
Seeing that she did not have anything else to do, Nicole put down her cup and took out a Mathematics exercise book from her bag. Well, since she was already there, she could use the time to revise a few questions. Jared’s face turned even darker after seeing this.
Do not even mind the coffee. Jared was the kind of person where girls were screaming over him everywhere he went. But at this moment, in her eyes, he was not even comparable to a book of Mathematics questions? The sadness he felt was indescribable. Jared only gave a death stare to Nicole. However, Nicole could not sense anything. She was focused on the questions, spinning her pen without writing a word. No matter how long she sat there, Jared would be sitting in front of her for the same amount of time.
Nicole kept her books as the sky turned dark. She only realized that the man sitting opposite her had not left yet after she had finished packing her bags.
She was stunned, “Why are you still here?”
Her reaction carried a sense of annoyance, and it hurt Jared once more.
