Chapter 1654
Jared kept his eyes on Nicole''s figure as she walked off, his eyes filled with loving tenderness.
It was only after he had seen her enter the manor that he ordered Max to drive away.
As for Max, he truly felt that his boss was bing a man who was distinct aspared to who he
was.
With Nicole around, his employer was really getting increasingly more...human.
‘To think that my employer would one day be reluctant to see someone go, to y coy, to y hard to
get.
Damn!" he thought.
When Nicole got into the house, everyone was already done with dinner.
Knowing that her father, Sean, and Stanley would definitely be busy in the study, she did not bother
them.
Instead, she went and joined her mother at the couch.
Gloria''s favorite program to watch on weekdays was the gossip news channel, during which her eyes
would be glued to the TV with much engrossment.
Seeing that Nicole hade to apany her, she happily pushed all of the snacks on the coffee
table to Nicole.
“Have some, my dear.
All of these are rare snacks.
They were gifts given to us during the previous banquet," she said.
"Oh...'''' Nicole nced at the snacks, observing that the Riddle family was no longer how it used to be.
Now, her mother would always be watching the gossip news channel, and the table would constantly
be filled with particrly expensive snacks...
Nicole casually picked one that she liked and ate it.
It was at this moment that she heard thetest gossip on TV.
"The role of the main heroine for Lukewarm had been left hanging for quite some time now, and news
just broke a few days ago that the role has been cast.
However, this mysterious female lead has never shown her face, and tonight''s Entertainment News
journalist has managed to catch Lloyd going out for a meal with a beautiful woman.
We originally thought that she was his girlfriend, but Lloyd''s manager has since rified that she is the
person ying the heroine of Lukewarm..." On the side of the news broadcast, the screen showed a
picture taken by a paparazzi.
Nicole was shocked, for she had only just gone out for a meal with Lloyd and they had already been
photographed by a paparazzi.
And during the hour when she was out on a date with Jared, she had already been suspected to be
Lloyd''s girlfriend.
Fortunately, Lloyd had stepped in to clear the air, or else, she would have to look for him and give him
an earful.
It was only at this moment that Gloria noticed that something was amiss as she held the snacks and
stared at the TV screen nkly.
Then, she darted Nicole a nce before fixing her eyes back on the TV.
All of a sudden, she yelped, "EHHHH!!!" Nicole was shocked, and even Samuel and Spencer, who
were gaming in their room, were jolted into action as they rushed out of their room.
“What happened, Mom!?" “What happened?" Stanley, who was the first to rush his way down, asked.
Immediately after, Sean and Daniel emerged from the study as well.
"What''s the matter, Gloria?" It was only then that Gloria realize that she had overreacted, scaring
everyone.
In response, she immediately pointed at the television.
"Ni...Nicolel!" Seeing this, Nicole could not help but to react.
''Ah sh*t, the cat is out of the bag! Expectedly, everyone hurried over and formed a circle around Gloria
as they looked at the TV with widened eyes.
"Isn''t that Lloyd, the famous actor?" Samuel asked, recognizing the man on the screen.
Surprised, Spencer answered.
"Yeah...
All content is ? N0velDrama.Org.
and the person beside him is..." "Nicole?!" Everyone yelled her name in unison.
After all, the woman on the screen was dressed in the same manner as Nicole right now.
It was evident that everything on the news had happened a mere few hours ago.
Nicole squeezed her forehead as her temples began to ache.
She really regretted going out for a meal with Lloyd today.
She totally did not expect the two of them to be photographed the moment they stepped out of the
office.
It was truly troubling for her.
"Nicole, what''s going on? Why were you with Lloyd?" "Is the news report true? You''re the main female
lead for Lukewarm?"
