The party was still ongoing. Nicole went to find Lulu and June while Jared was meeting people. The Barrera family and the Wallace family were also considered prominent families, so they also attended the party.
Nicole smiled when seeing June dressed so beautifully today. “Nice dress.”
June blushed. “Thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to attend.” It was Nicole who gave her the invitation card. Not even her family members got invited. So her stepmother and younger sister did not come and were jealous of her.
“Don’t mention it. Mr. Johnston Sr. gave me extra invitation cards.” Nicole pretended to be nonchalant. She then glanced in a direction. “Samuel and Spencer are hanging around over there. Why are you standing here and not going over to talk to them?”
June understood what Nicole meant, but she was instantly smitten. “It’s so awkward.”
Nicole smiled. “What’s so awkward about it? If you are going, someone else will.”
In hindsight, Lulu suddenly thought of something. “Lulu, you like Nicole’s brother, don’t you?”
“Shhh. Be quiet.” June was shy and quickly covered Lulu’s mouth. “People might hear it.”
Lulu nodded and took June’s hand off her mouth. “I’m sorry. I was surprised. Which of them-Samuel or Spencer?”
She looked at June eagerly, as if she had something on her mind. Nicole clearly sensed something was wrong.
June did not feel it because she herself was nervous. “It’s Samuel,” she said in a shy, low voice. She had had a crush on Samuel for a long time, but she never had the chance to talk to Samuel.
“Oh, it’s Samuel.” Lulu was suddenly relieved.
Nicole was the best at observing people, and by this time, she had sensed something. “Lulu, since June is nervous, why don’t you accompany her to find my brothers?”
“Huh?” Lulu immediately tensed up.
“Don’t you see how many people covet Samuel and Spencer? If you don’t go over to them now, someone else is going to take your place.”
The eyes of the two of them immediately lit up upon hearing that.
“You’re right. I’ll go over now.” Lulu was a simplistic girl. She took June along, unaware that Nicole had not followed
Nicole watched the two walk toward Samuel and Spencer and could not help but chuckle. “I wish you success.”
Just as she was saying this, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She looked back and saw Lloyd.
Seeing Lloyd’s nervous look, she frowned. “You have something to say?”
Nicole’s impassive reaction instantly shattered his courage. “N-No, nothing.”
Nachelle saw that word choked in her son’s throat, and she quickly came to the rescue.
“He indeed has something to talk to you about. Could we have a moment with you in private?”
Nicole had probably guessed something judging by the expectant look in their eyes.
But with so many people around, her every move would be watched. After thinking about it for a moment, she refused. “I don’t want to give a wrong impression to others. Why don’t we just talk right here?”
Nicole’s voice was gentle and graceful, but it still attracted a lot of attention.
Seeing Lloyd and Nachelle, people immediately recalled the moment at the Holder family’s party, where Lloyd expressed his feelings to Nicole and was rejected. They were all surprised to see him come to the Johnston family’s party and ask to talk to Nicole in private, with no regard for Jared’s feelings.
