Unwanted Girl Spoiled

Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Nestled in Nicolas arms , Noelle suddenly felt an intense gaze pierce through her .

She shuddered , then turned around to look .

Brandon stood just on the other side of the institute gates .

He wore his usual elegant smile , perfectly composed but in his calm eyes , Noelle caught a glimpse of something far more dangerous lurking beneath the surface .

She hadnt even said goodbye .

She had just … run .

Instinctively , she stepped in front of Nicolas , as if to shield him , her voice trembling as she called out , Brandon … Before she could say anything more , Nicolas gently took her hand .

Huh ? Noelle blinked .

Nicolas stepped up beside her , no longer behind her but standing shoulder to shoulder .

With a polite smile , as if unaware of any tension , he looked Brandon in the eye and asked Noelle .

Is this your friend ? JUh … yeah … Noelle stammered .

Brandon was still technically her friend … right ? But now they were face to face Brandon and Nicolas .

Was that really a good idea ! The institute gates creaked open .

Brandon walked through slowly , with calm , deliberate steps .

He had reined in his aura , adopting a courteous air , and extended a hand .

with a smile .

Nice to meet you .

Im Brandon , a friend of Noelles .

Nicolas returned the smile just as calmly .

Pleasure .

Im Nicolas Noelles partner .

That line made Brandons eye twitch ever so slightly .

Noelles partner ? What a bold claim .

Nicolas had seen it in an instant Brandon had feelings for his girl . So , of course , he chose that moment to make things crystal clear .
