Chapter 1697
"Oh, you're here. Good morning." Gary said in an awkward tone of voice.
Nicole looked at Gary's dodgy eyes, and in a monotonous voice, she replied, "Good morning."
Gary watched as Nicole walked into the classroom, after which he turned around and followed her to her seat.
"How's your wound?"
Nicole looked at Gary, and upon noticing that he seemed to be genuinely worried about her, her attitude toward
him mellowed a little. "Don't worry. It's much better now."
Seeing that Nicole actually spoke to him, Gary, for some reason, became cheerful.
"That's good. I heard that Raine got expelled as well. You can rest easy knowing that no one will come and find
trouble with you from now on," he said.
Gary had heard about Raine. Perhaps he would have felt sorry for her back then. But when he heard that she had
coerced someone else to drop the flower pot on Nicole, he lost all sympathy for her, in addition to feeling that she

Nicole raised her eyebrow as she looked at Gary. "Isn't she your girlfriend? Aren't you bothered by that?
Gary immediately furrowed his brows. "Who said she's my girlfriend?"
Although he had never told Nicole about this, he had never actually considered Raine to be his girlfriend at all.
"You're not? The whole school thought that you were a couple." Nicole raised a brow with surprise.
After all, the main reason as to why Raine had always given Nicole a hard time was because of Gary.
Hearing that, he instantly retorted, "That's what they think. It has nothing to do with me."
Nicole could not help herself from shooting Gary a glance. She had an inexplicable feeling that he looked a lot less
unpleasant today.
'Perhaps the reason I hated him before was partly due to Raine, I guess.'
Not wanting to talk about Raine, Gary said. "After class, the participants of the computer competition will be
meeting at the lecture hall. Should we go there together?"
"Okay." Nicole casually nodded.
However, that was like a beam of sunshine lancing through a blanket of storm clouds for Gary. "That's a promise."
After that, Gary returned to his seat.
Both Jack and Wayne could not help but to look at each other. 'How long has it been since our boss laughed like
this?’
'Strangely enough, only Nicole can make him smile like this.'
'But she already has a boyfriend, does she not?'
"Our boss has become a really soulful one..." Jack commented, feeling a little impressed by Gary.
Wayne nodded in agreement. "Yeah..."
When Gary saw the two getting excited for nothing as he got back to his seat, he glared at them and hissed. "Stop
acting like clowns."
After the end of the day's lessons, all of the participants in the computer competition gathered at the lecture hall.
Everyone, be they from the university department or the high school department, all had congregated at that
particular location.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe moment Nicole stepped into the place, she saw Harvey.
She had not seen him for quite a few days since the last time they met. It seemed to her that he had not been
attending school during this period as well, but Nicole was not concerned about that.
Instead, it was Harvey whose gaze was locked onto Nicole. Other than him, Snow too, was staring at Nicole.
Her little sister had been expelled just like that, causing her parents to be so restless at home over the weekend
that she too was affected.
Now that she had seen Nicole, she felt really aggrieved.
Raine had been sent to a school in a neighboring city to pursue her studies, and before she left, she had asked
Snow to exact revenge on her behalf.
'But Nicole is the spotlight. What can I even do to her?' she wondered.
She only wanted to avoid her and up until now, she had not expected that the two would meet again so soon.
'Nicole has signed up for the computer competition as well?"
In addition to being the bearer of the Fire Crest, she was an expert in medicine and was also a top student. It was
hard to believe that she had decided to join the computer competition now as well.
