Chapter 1611
Gary rolled his eyes at Wayne. "It's none of your business.
However, Jack had managed to see what was on Gary's mind.
Then, sighed and looked at Nicole. "Brother, although the both of you can join the competition together, it's better
for you to not put so much effort into someone, especially when that someone already belongs to someone else."
Those words pierced Gary's heart like a blade to the chest, prompting him to give Wayne a death stare. "No one
would think you're mute if you keep your mouth shut!"
Jack fell silent at once, not daring to put another word in. Deep down, however, he knew that Gary would not give
up this easily.
After school, Gary saw Nicole carrying her bag and left.
Then, he quickly chased after her and initiated a conversation. "Nicole, this is a great book about computer science.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtYou can ask me if you have any questions."
Gary was behaving very differently from the previous semester, in which he would approach Nicole with an air of
arrogance about him. Now, Gary would look at Nicole with gentle kindness.
As soon as Nicole saw the book, however, her lips twitched.' Computer 101, and it covers the most basic of stuff!'
Nicole had already read it from cover to cover when she was just ten.
"It's fine. I won't be needing it. You can keep it." Nicole walked past, not wanting to waste any time on that.
Gary immediately froze, while Wayne and Jack were stunned as well.
'What is Nicole trying to do? Our big boss took the initiative to give her a book, and yet, she gave him the cold
shoulder.'
'Isn't she the competitive type? Or is she really considering just joining and getting a certificate of participation?’
"Hey, wait up, Nicole." Gary quickly came back to his senses and chased after Nicole again.
Jack and Wayne looked at each other. They felt that their boss would lose his charm whenever he faced Nicole...
'Love does drive people crazy,' they thought.
Gary kept pursuing her until he had stepped out of the academic block, and when everyone noticed that Gary was
chasing after her, all of them began to look at him. Such was because Nicole had become a famous figure in the
school that day. Coupled with Gary's fame in the school, they immediately attracted the crowd's attention.
Nicole did not like to be noticed by the people around her, so she hastened. Concurrently, Gary also took bigger
steps, which allowed him to catch up to her.
"Nicole, I am sincere about helping you. I won't act like how I was before, being self-centered and all that. This time
around, I will give you a helping hand as long as it is within my abilities to do so," he said.
Last semester, Gary was so arrogant and condescending that he wanted Nicole to lower herself before him and beg
for his help. Currently however, he was sincere about helping her on his own volition. As long as he could spend
more time with her, Gary was fine with it.
Nicole had been listening to Gary's rambling for a long time, and when she finally could not stand him anymore, she
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhalted. "Gary, do you think that what you're doing now isn't a display of condescension? What a joke."
'He doesn't even know me well. And yet, he's telling me that he wants to help me. He has no clue about whether I
need help or not. Still, he has the nerve to decide that I needed it anyway,' Nicole fumed.
"W-when was I being condescending?" Gary was flabbergasted.
He had already approached her with much humility, and could not understand what else she was expecting from
him.
"You thought that I needed your help. You thought that I needed you to teach me. That is being condescending!"
Nicole frowned, her tone getting harsher.
Looking at how persistent Nicole was in declining him, Gary felt a little hurt. "I was sincere about helping you. After
all, I really do know more about computers than you do..."
Nicole looked at how confident Gary was with himself and snorted. "There's no need for any of that."
Those words inexplicably made Gary's heart sink.
He felt that Nicole was trying to imply something else.
Seeing that Gary had finally toned down, Nicole replied coldly, "So what if you know a lot about computers? You
don't know me at all."
If Gary really knew her well, he would not have pestered her and behaved in such a condescending manner.
