Nicole looked at Stanley. “You guys discuss it. I was just proposing it. You all are the ones implementing it. I will go now.”
“Okay.” Stanley smiled, feeling more assured.
Edwin could not hold back his curiosity. Seeing Nicole leave, he quickly grabbed Stanley. “What is so secretive? Tell me what idea Nicole has come up with.”
Stanley broke free of his grip. “Okay, I’ll tell you.”
The two then discussed the plan together, and Edwin could not help but clap his hands exultantly. “Nicole is awesome. Only she could think of such a way.”
It was sunset. Students were pouring out of the Royal Creek Institute. Those who did not live on campus got into their family cars and went home.
In the café opposite the school, Martin was watching the students come out of the school. He just wanted to see the person he had been waiting for. He was happy to have just a glimpse of her. Since the last time Martin knew that Nicole was injured, he had been worried and thinking about her, even more so after the failure of the experiment. But they did not know each other well, and he could only find a way to create a chance encounter.
There was no other shop opposite the Royal Creek Institute, so he could only wait in the café.
Joyce was sitting next to him, and Martin found her a little too annoying. Had he known that she would come and disturb him, he would not have told her where he was.
He was not in the mood to talk, but Joyce kept trying to find a topic to talk to him about. He just gave her a perfunctory reply. Seeing that Martin was not resenting, she continued to pester him, asking him to put in a good word for her family.
Hearing her mention the project again, Martin was losing his cool and looking at Joyce with disgust. He was expressionless, thinking of giving Joyce a fair one, ‘How could I not find out earlier that she was such an annoyance?
Joyce did not notice that Martin was on the verge of losing his patience and still talked incessantly.” Have you ever talked to Mr. Wyance? Do you know what was going on in his mind? Is he going to give the project to the Riddle family only? They can’t possibly handle it.”
Martin saw her pretentious look and said nothing. He turned his gaze to the crowd outside, secretly fighting back his impulses. ‘Keep cool, keep cool.’
Joyce saw Martin ignore her and leaned her face over again. “You will make good on your promise, right, Martin?”
She thought she looked beautiful now, but Martin just wanted to punch her in the face and then throw her out the window
Martin looked back at her, gritting his teeth, and smiled as she leaned her face closer. “If you say one more word, I will immediately ask my dad to give the project to the Riddle family.”
This worked better than fists. Joyce was frightened and shut up at once. But she kept complaining in her mind that Martin did not know how to treat a woman properly.
“He isn’t even interested in such a pretty woman like me and shows his cold attitude. He deserves to be single for the rest of his life.’
Thinking of this, Joyce secretly stole a glance at Martin, who was looking out of the window. She felt a little shy at seeing his handsome face.
‘He still looks pretty handsome when he is not angry with me. He might have a sharp tongue and bad temper, but he still treats me well, basically agreeing to any request I ask, and would not put me on the spot. So, even if he is bad-tempered, I think I can still accept it. Such a man will treat his wife well after he gets married, right?
