Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Chapter 118
“Yeah.”
Nichole couldn’t say otherwise because Tina and Krystal had seen James come 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 planning 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 classmates. 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?”
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.
