Chapter 1697
"Oh, you''re here.Good morning." Gary said in an awkward tone of voice.
Nicole looked at Gary''s dodgy eyes, and in a monotonous voice, she replied, "Good morning."
Gary watched as Nicole walked into the ssroom, after which he turned around and followed her to
her seat.
"How''s your wound?" Nicole looked at Gary, and upon noticing that he seemed to be genuinely worried
about her, her attitude toward him mellowed a little.
"Don''t worry.It''s much better now."
Seeing that Nicole actually spoke to him, Gary, for some reason, became cheerful.
"That''s good.I heard that Raine got expelled as well.You can rest easy knowing that no one wille
and find trouble with you from now on," he said.
Gary had heard about Raine.
Perhaps he would have felt sorry for her back then.
But when he heard that she had coerced someone else to drop the flower pot on Nicole, he lost all
sympathy for her, in addition to feeling that she had gotten her just desserts.
Nicole raised her eyebrow as she looked at Gary.
"Isn''t she your girlfriend? Aren''t you bothered by that? Gary immediately furrowed his brows.
''Who said she''s my girlfriend?"
Although he had never told Nicole about this, he had never actually considered Raine to be his
girlfriend at all.
"You''re not? The whole school thought that you were a couple."
Nicole raised a brow with surprise.
After all, the main reason as to why Raine had always given Nicole a hard time was because of Gary.
Hearing that, he instantly retorted, "That''s what they think.It has nothing to do with me."
Nicole could not help herself from shooting Gary a nce.
She had an inexplicable feeling that he looked a lot less unpleasant today.
‘Perhaps the reason I hated him before was partly due to Raine, I guess"
Not wanting to talk about Raine, Gary said.
"After ss, the participants of theputerpetition will be meeting at the lecture hall.Should we
go there together?"
"Okay."
Nicole casually nodded.
However, that was like a beam of sunshinencing through a nket of storm clouds for Gary.
"That''s a promise."
After that, Gary returned to his seat.
Both Jack and Wayne could not help but to look at each other.
''How long has it been since our bossughed like this?’
‘Strangely enough, only Nicole can make him smile like this"
‘But she already has a boyfriend, does she not?! "Our boss has be a really soulful one..."
Jackmented, feeling a little impressed by Gary.
Wayne nodded in agreement.
"Yeah..."
When Gary saw the two getting excited for nothing as he got back to his seat, he red at them and
hissed.
"Stop acting like clowns."
After the end of the day''s lessons, all of the participants in theputerpetition gathered at the
lecture hall.
Everyone, be they from the university department or the high school department, all had congregated
at that particr location.
The moment Nicole stepped into the ce, she saw Harvey.
She had not seen him for quite a few days since thest time they met.
It seemed to her that he had not been attending school during this period as well, but Nicole was not
concerned about that.
Instead, it was Harvey whose gaze was locked onto Nicole.
Other than him, Snow too, was staring at Nicole.
Her little sister had been expelled just like that, causing her parents to be so restless at home over the
weekend that she too was affected.
Now that she had seen Nicole, she felt really aggrieved.
Raine had been sent to a school in a neighboring city to pursue her studies, and before she left, she
had asked Snow to exact revenge on her behalf.

‘But Nicole is the spotlight.What can I even do to her?" she wondered.
She only wanted to avoid her and up until now, she had not expected that the two would meet again so
soon.
''Nicole has signed up for theputerpetition as well?"
In addition to being the bearer of the Fire Crest, she was an expert in medicine and was also a top
student.
It was hard to believe that she had decided to join theputerpetition now as well.
