Chapter 1747


    "Okay." Nicole nodded her head and lowered her head to look at the menu.


    The fourthdy by her side peered over, watching the scene before her as she helped herself to a


    snicker.


    "Lloyd, it''s a rare sight for you to be so courteous to others.


    Is Nicole a woman with a special ce in your heart?" "Oh yeah! Lloyd has always been afraid of


    getting into scandals with the female leads and keeps them at arm''s length." As thements from


    everyone piled in, Nicole''s difort gradually grew, but Lloyd, on the other hand, was inexplicably


    pleased.


    Everyone knew why and so did Nicole.


    As expected, Lloyd was very happy that everyone was discussing about Nicole and him being together.


    As Nicole noticed that Lloyd did not refute any of their ims, she spoke up, and in an icy tone, she


    said, "Guys, please don''t make jokes like these too casually." Nicole was young in age, but all of her


    features possessed an inexplicably captivating quality about them.


    Her daring eyebrows and eyes were filled with courage powerful enough to stun everyone in the


    vicinity.


    "O-okay.


    I understand." The fifthdy nodded quickly.


    In response to that, Nicole softened her expression and exined, "Lloyd and I have known each other


    for years now, so we might appear to be close.

    However, I have a fiancé, so I hope that none of you will make jokes of that sort again." After Nicole


    had asserted herself with such solemnness at the dinner table, the atmosphere instantly became


    awkward, with Nachelle giving Nicole a look of disapproval.


    Her mind was ina constant loop with the word ''fiance'' ever since it came out of Nicole''s mouth.


    ‘How could Jared be any better than my son? How dare she disregard my son''s feelings for her in front


    of everyone and publicize her rtionship so brazenly like that!?" At the same time, the look on Lloyd''s


    face soured, and as he tried to suppress the bitterness in his heart, and exined with a dry smile,


    "Yeah, Nicole and I are just friends.


    I hope nobody will go around spreading rumors which would tarnish her reputation." And after he had


    spoken, he took a sip of wine out of his ss in frustration.


    Even as he did, Nachelle had never seen her son looking so miserable before.


    A grimace crossed Nachelle''s face at once, and she looked over at Nicole.


    "Okay, let''s not talk about this anymore, at least not before the show starts airing.


    Otherwise, it''ll just reduce the poprity of the show." Nicole shot Nachelle a nce and gave her a


    light smile.


    ‘I have a feeling that she''s trying to fool herself.


    Our engagement party was one of the biggest in town.


    All of the renowned families were present at the party and all of them are aware of my rtionship with


    Jared.


    Perhaps it was because I did not have much to do with the media that not many knew about it.


    I bet that once the drama has aired, more people will find out about our engagement,'' Nicole thought as


    she kept her silence, for she was toozy to speak up.


    However, Nicole did not forget that she had spared half an hour to join everyone here for dinner.


    She proceeded to order her meal quickly before going back to interacting with the screenwriters and


    her other fellow actors.


    When the dishes came, Lloyd who did not fear the judgment and prying eyes of others, filled up


    Nicole''s te with a variety of dishes.


    Everyone was surprised by Lloyd''s sudden gesture toward Nicole, especially after everything she had


    said earlier.


    In spite of this, nobody dared to ask questions.


    Nicole frowned when she saw Lloyd filling her te up with a variety of dishes.


    ''Dang.


    Does this guy not know when to quit? Does he not know how to avoid arousing the public''s suspicion?''


    ‘If I eat this, it''d be even more difficult for me to clear my name.'' Nicole pushed the te in front of her


    away before telling the waiter to give her a new one.


    When that happened, everyone around them became embarrassed.


    Lloyd himself was also taken aback, as well as some of the actresses.


    ‘How many women would have killed to have their dishes picked out and ced onto their tes by


    Lloyd!?'' ‘Nicole, what are you doing?’ ‘Did she just express her rejection for Lloyd?"
