Chapter 534

It was peaceful and quiet in the café.

Nicole chatted with Carl for a while before she noticed him rubbing his forehead tiredly.

'He must've come to look for me right after he got off the plane. He's so tired because he's still jet-lagged from the time difference,' Nicole thought.

She quickly stood up before turning to Carl.

"Where do you stay?" she asked.

Carl raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly.

"Why? Will you be sending me back?" he asked lazily.

Nicole nodded without hesitation.

Then, she stood up and walked out.

When Claus saw them leaving, he walked up and flashed Nicole a smile.

He twirled the car keys and said playfully, "Mr...Friend of Ms.Riddle. The chairman has instructed us to send you wherever you wish you go."

Carl looked at the man in shock, "And your chairman is?"

Nicole glanced at Jared in silence. He was leaning against the bar counter and did not seem to notice them.

However, the moment she cast her gaze at him, he lifted his head slightly to meet her eyes.

Carl followed Nicole's gaze.

When he saw Jared, he paused before asking incredulously, "That's him?"

Claus nodded innocently. It did not take long before Claus started feeling uncomfortable. He twitched the corner of his lips before saying in a decisive tone, "It's fine." Meanwhile, Jared stood up and sauntered up to them.

"You don't come to Hustuaburg often. Since you're Nicole's friend, we must do what we can to make you feel at home," he said with a smile.

Jared then walked up to Nicole and gently grabbed her hand. He was now standing right in front of Carl.

Carl watched as Nicole did not struggle out of his grip.He sighed deeply.

"It's fine."

Then, he turned around and walked toward the door.

Nicole frowned slightly at his turned back and said, "But you're leaving soon.Why don't you stay over at my place for a day?"

Carl froze instantly.

Then, a smile slowly formed on his lips.

'I knew it.I knew Nicole couldn't possibly ignore me when I traveled thousands of miles to find her" he thought.

At the thought of this, Carl turned around and titled his head.

"Let's go."

A smile appeared in Nicole's eyes as she gently tucked her hair behind her ear.

Claus stared at her distractedly.

Meanwhile, Jared threw him an indifferent glance.

Claus quickly turned away and said loudly, "I'll go get the car!"

Nicole did not respond; she walked out with a calm expression.

Carl saw her walking in his direction.

Just as he was about to flash her a smile, he noticed Jared beside her.

'His gaze doesn't seem friendly" Claus thought.

Carl had a slight look of reluctance. He then frowned at Jared.

"Why are you tagging along?" he asked coldly.

Jared did not look at him and continued trailing behind Nicole mindlessly.

Their footsteps looked surprisingly in sync from behind.

"To send Nicole home."

Carl was speechless.

"I haven't thought of this.Am I really going to let this man who embarrassed me on our first meeting send me home?' he wondered.

Just as Carl was about to say something, Nicole spoke.

"My car isn't in Hustuaburg; you know where it is. What's more, you don't have a Hustuaburg driver's license, so this is the best solution," she said indifferently.
