When Nicole checked the time and noticed that it was already 9.00PM, she realized that she needed to leave to return her gown, so she turned toward John and said, “Excuse me. I’ll be leaving now.”
“It’s fine.” Nicole turned to reject him before she ran into a young lady by surprise.
Angered, the young lady reached out to push her. “Are you blind?”
Nicole staggered backward before she looked up to see the socialite’s arrogant face and apologized, saying, “I’m sorry.”
“Do you really think that saying sorry solves everything? You better start kneeling down and cleaning my shoes after you step on my feet!” The young lady obviously wasn’t going to let Nicole off the hook and even wanted to humiliate her.
Right then, Nicole pursed her lips. “I did not step on your feet.”
“How dare you deny stepping on my feet when my feet are already hurting?!” the young lady snapped in anger.
When Nicole came to the realization that the young lady purposely stood in front of her so that she would run into her, she decided not to bother anymore. “Excuse me, please move away. I need to leave now.”
“Do you think that you can leave just like that?” Then, the young lady reached out to pull on Nicole's gown before the sound of something tearing rang out. The satin fabric on Nicole's gown was torn, and one side of her shoulder was revealed. Immediately, she reached out to cover her bare shoulder.
While John wanted to remove his blazer for
Nicole, someone else was faster than
him as they quickly placed their blazer on
her shoulder to cover her chest..
At this moment, Nicole turned around gratefully to realize that the person who helped her out was Drake.
Immediately, she swallowed her thanks. In fact, she didn’t even want the man’s blazer.
"Take your blazer away." Although
Nicole knew that she was going to
attract other people's attention, she really
didn't want to accept Drake's kindness..
“Stop messing around,” Drake instructed. Why is she still stubborn in a situation like this?
On the other hand, Amelia, who was standing at the side, glared at Nicole because she witnessed how quickly Drake removed his blazer to cover Nicole up.
“Amelia, I’ll pick you up later,” Drake said before he pulled Nicole out of the hall while Nicole struggled against his forceful grip.
“Drake…” Amelia felt like she was about to go mad from jealousy. How dare he leave me here to send Nicole back?!
Meanwhile, Nicole finally managed to remove Drake's blazer. In that instance, her maroon bra was revealed from the torn gown. The sight of Nicole right then was enough to make any man lust over her.
At this moment, Drake's gaze darkened before he looked at her stubborn expressions and asked in annoyance, “Are you seriously leaving like that?”
"So what if I do? Even if I were to run
outside naked, it would be none of your
business." Nicole didn't know why, but
she really wanted to argue against Drake
and piss him off..
“You’re a mother to three kids, and you should really think about him.” Drake had never met a woman that could easily piss him off with just a few words, and it seemed like this woman was really capable of achieving that.
“Stop messing around, Nicole. Can’t you just listen for once?” Drake pleaded before he placed his blazer around her shoulders again when he noticed that the elevator had stopped.
There were a few foreign men in a discussion outside of the elevator, and Nicole quickly headed to the entrance without removing Drake's blazer this time.
When she noticed a cab dropping off its passengers at the side of the road, she quickly headed to the cab while wearing Drake's blazer, and Drake could only watch as she closed the car door and left.
Right then, Nicole's mind was a mess..
I've really managed to destroy a gown that
costs seven digits! How am I supposed to
pay for this?! Sh*t!.
