Chapter 1748
The atmosphere became intensely awkward at that instant. However, it seemed that Nicole was the only one who
had not been able to sense it.
After receiving a new plate from the waiter, she turned to smile at Lloyd and said, "Sorry about that. I'm a bit of a
clean freak."
A pang of shock surged through everyone present in the room. Everyone was utterly taken aback with the notion
that Nicole would express her disgust with the best actor, Lloyd Holder!
Everyone in the room was all the more appalled when Nicole said that she was a clean freak, which was the reason
for her disgust toward Lloyd. Furthermore, Lloyd had not expected that Nicole would be so brazen with her rejection
of him in public. He had thought that Nicole would at least not make him look bad in public, given their many years
of friendship between them.
Lloyd fell silent once Nicole had embarrassed him in public. He could not help himself from clenching his fork in his

Then, he forced a stiff smile and said, 'My apologies. I took the liberty."
"Lloyd," Nachelle uttered, unable to sit still as she watched her son suffer that humiliation.
"You're too..." Lloyd reached out and placed his hand on his mothers' to reassure her.
Though Nachelle was burning with rage on the behalf of her son, she had to suppress her anger to save everyone
from any further embarrassment.
At that moment, Lloyd picked his glass of wine up and tried to ease the awkward tension. "Come on. This is our first
dinner together since we started filming. Let's have toast together, especially after we've gotten to the bottom of
the person who had tampered with the prop car. Cheers!"
"Okay!" Everyone hurriedly agreed, all wanting to put the issue in the back burner.
Nicole watched as everyone toasted, after which she also took a sip herself. The atmosphere had lightened up as
everyone began to take a bite of their own food. However, Nachelle was still stewing in resentment at Nicole.
'Before all this happened, I thought Nicole was an excellent girl, perfect in all aspects. Her background and
everything was a perfect match for Lloyd. With the addition of the Fire Crest, it was picture perfect, and it posed no
harm to our Holder family. Now, she's got my son wrapped around her finger!
Ever since Nachelle and Lloyd had gotten back, she had doted on him to an excessive degree. Whatever Lloyd
wanted to do, she would support him in his endeavors.
'What did he even do to her to deserve this sort of humiliation in public?' Nachelle took a few sips of wine to
suppress her discontent.
"Nicole, you seem to have a very unique personality. You ought to change it if you wish to stay in the entertainment
industry. Otherwise you won't get far."
Nicole immediately understood the connotation in Nachelle's words, and in a show of indifference, she replied, "I
don't expect to go far in the entertainment industry."
Nachelle choked the instant she heard Nicole's words. 'She really knows how to talk her way out. What a smart *ss.'
Hearing that, Nachelle immediately looked for grounds to refute Nicole. "That's right, if it wasn't for Lloyd who had
decided to recruit, you wouldn't have had a chance to enter this industry."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole raised her eyebrows. 'Did she get confused about the chronology of everything that had happened? It was
obvious that Lloyd had begged me to join, but from the looks of it, I am made to look like I'm the one who had
begged to be allowed in.'
However, after having seen the look on Lloyd's face, Nicole decided to let it go to avoid giving him further
embarrassment.
Then, in a strange tone to Nachelle, Nicole said, "Yeah, I'm nothing but grateful that Lloyd was kind enough to
recruit me."
Nachelle was a renowned director in the entertainment industry and currently, a director of the drama. Everyone
had nothing but compliments and sweet words for her. Even
investors would show her respect wherever she went.
However, for a legendary figure like Nachelle to give Nicole such an attitude was unprecedented. Everyone in the
room could not resist from breaking out in cold sweat for Nicole as they witnessed the scene unfolding before
them.
Nachelle was so furious that she wanted nothing but to lash out, but at that very moment, Nicole had already stood
up.
"The food isn't really appealing. I'm almost done here, so I'll be heading out first."
