Chapter 555


    "Don''t you dare to return to your old trade when I''m not around.Study hard.If Ie back and find out


    you''re doing something else, I will not spare you."


    Austin quickly nodded, scratched his head, and said in a voice as if he had been wronged.


    "Boss, since following you, I have no time to do anything other than study."


    Nicole''s expression eased up.She knew Austin was inherently a good person, and that was why she


    had made the test-like request.


    Hearing his response, Nicole patted him on the shoulder.


    "Take care.I will go now," she said.


    Austin looked at Nicole from behind and could not bear to see her go.


    But Nicole had her own things to do, and they were still too weak to be of help.


    Their hearts lit up with fire at the thought of this.


    They told themselves to work hard so that they could be of help to their boss next time.


    But Nicole did not know that she had be an inspiration for them.She arrived at the office building


    and took the elevator to the principal''s office.


    Thest time she came here, things did not end well.


    When she thought of how Mr.Ellison unabashedly defended her today, she lowered her eyes and gently


    knocked on the door.


    "Come in," a voice said from the inside.


    Nicole walked in slowly.


    Besides Mr.Ellison, who was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, there were two other


    people there.


    Nicole appeared apathetic.


    She looked at Lloyd and Harvey and lowered her head to knead her forehead gently, then looked at


    Mr.Ellison.


    "I would like to apply for a study break," she said.


    Lloyd and Harvey frowned almost at the same time.


    They looked at Nicole; because of Mr.Ellison''s presence, they said nothing atst.


    Mr.Ellison looked at Nicole with gentle eyes.

    "Is something wrong? “ All eyes were on Nicole, who noddedposedly and said, "Maybe it will take


    some time to solve."


    Mr.Ellison agreed almost immediately.He took out a form and handed it to Nicole.


    "Just sign this.Everything will go on as usual; you don''t need to attend sses, but you will have to


    come back for exams."


    Nicole looked at him helplessly and then put down her signature.She knew that Mr.Ellison was afraid


    that she would nevere back after she left, and so he set a deadline for her.


    Lloyd frowned when he saw Nicole sign the form with no hesitation.He turned abruptly to look at


    Harvey with a deep disgust in his eyes.


    ‘He deliberately didn''t tell me that S was Nicole!'' Harvey just maintained his perfect manners, standing


    behind Mr.Ellison, as if the most prolific pacesetter who tried to get the approval of his


    superior.Mr.Ellison was indeed more satisfied with Harvey, and he nced at Lloyd silently and sighed


    in his mind.


    ''He used to be the kid whom I had high hopes for.But he has chosen a road of no return"


    Nicole had finished filling up the form.


    Sensing the stares behind her, she ignored them and handed the form to Mr.Ellison.


    "Can I go now?" she asked.


    Mr.Ellison was reluctant to let her go.But atst, he nced at her and waved his hand.


    "Go now."


    As if she could no longer wait, Nicole turned around and walked out with no hesitation.


    While Harvey stood still and looked on, Lloyd had already walked out.


    Mr.Ellison looked at Lloyd from behind and still said nothing.


    There was something flickering in Harvey''s eyes.He smiled as she looked at his grandfather, who was


    locking at the grandson whom he used to favor the most.


    "Grandpa, Lloyd doesn''t seem interested in our conversation."
