Chapter 34
Celia was also stunned as she looked at Norah, dumbfounded. “Hey, what’s going on here? Why did
Austin address that country bumpkin as his boss?” “I-I have no idea too.” Nicole thought, ‘Nicole was
telling the truth! Everything she said was real?!’
The Woods family was a powerful and rich family in Northon, so Austin had been at the top of the
pyramid in school for the past few years. He did not even back down when fighting the Finley brothers.
But now he bowed to a country bumpkin?!
Norah could not help to be suspicious of Nicole’s real identity. Everyone was in shock as well, but Nicole
remained expressionless. She casually glanced at Austin and returned her gaze to the long queue at the
window. Austin beamed the moment he saw her looking at him. “You must be hungry, Boss! i’ll get
someone to bring you food!” Austin volunteered himself. That was when Nicole finally looked at him
directly. “It’s okay.” She sounded indifferent. But Austin was already calling over his subordinate to get
the best ribs in the cafeteria. He then happily went over and lined up to get Nicole some soup. Nicole did
not reject him as she saw how determined he was. She then turned to find herself a seat and sat down.
After all, she really did not like queueing up. Everyone looked as if they had seen a ghost when Nicole
sat down, walking away with their plates hurriedly. ‘Oh man, even Austin is calling her boss. How
powerful is she?!’
They dared not to offend her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen Nicole saw Austin lining up without bullying anyone, her gaze was not as cold anymore.
Austin was a tyrant in school. When had he ever lined up for food?
At that moment, Austin was squeezing between the crowd for Nicole. It was so hot he was sweating like
a pig
When he turned back and saw Nicole’s gaze turn slightly warm, he was elated. He did not bother how
sweaty he was and continued to line up to get Nicole some food.
Everyone saw this bizarre scene. They were stupefied upon seeing Austin working himself to the bones
to impress Nicole. Coincidentally, Gary and Raine went to the cafeteria for lunch as well.
When they walked into the cafeteria and saw how Austin was treating Nicole, they were
dumbfounded too.
After Nicole rejected Austin, Raine thought Austin would harm Nicole out of anger and embarrassment.
Raine did not expect Austin would ignore her, the beauty queen in school, and beg to be Nicole’s
follower instead. He had even made a big scene. How embarrassing!
Jealousy flashed in Raine’s eyes as she said sarcastically, “Nicole is from your class, right? She has only
been here for a few days, and she’s already acting like she’s all that. Who knows what she’d become in
the future?!”
Little did she know that Nicole had rejected Gary’s offer to protect Nicole. Otherwise, she would be
infuriated.
Raine’s remark did not get a response, so she wondered why and turned around. She noticed Gary
staring at Nicole, who was not far from them. His eyes were intrigued. Gary felt that things had become
more interesting since Nicole transferred to Royal Creek Institute.
He initially thought that Nicole was a country girl who did not know her place, but he gradually realized
that she was nothing like how he had pictured her. Nicole was incredibly skilled that she had even made
Austin submit to her. Even her background was mysterious as there was completely no trace of her
information on the internet.
Excluding the fact that Gary did not perform very well in his academics as he rarely paid attention in
class, he was, in fact, a well-known computer genius. He had personally searched for Nicole’s
information, but his efforts were vain.
Gary could tell that Nicole was someone not ordinary.
Standing next to him was Raine, who watched him staring at Nicole with desire in his eyes. She started
to feel anxious.
She had pursued Gary for a long time, but he had always been indifferent toward her. It was her first time
seeing Gary looking at someone with such a gaze. ‘Is Gary interested in Nicole?’ Raine thought,
‘Impossible! It took me a great deal of effort just to stand by Gary’s side. I will never let anyone take my
place away!’
Nicole finished eating in a short while. Austin wanted to follow her when he saw her standing up. But

Austin knew that he could not step over the boundary, so he left after bidding her goodbye.
Celia was frustrated as she saw Nicole showing off like that. “She’s just a country girl, yet she has the
audacity to enjoy the limelight. Is she trying to humiliate classy ladies like us?”
Norah saw that Celia was angry, so she chimed in, “Yeah, she’s just a girl. How could she be the boss of
the school alpha? She’s too full of herself.”
Celia got even angrier with Norah’s remark. “People like her deserve to be punished!”
“Don’t be impulsive… What if Austin backs her?”
Celia scoffed. “The Rowe family isn’t someone to mess with! Just you wait!”
At that moment, Nicole was done with her food and was about to leave the cafeteria. However, a figure
popped out with malicious intent the second she stood up and barged into her!
Nicole’s eyes were cold as she quickly swerved and avoided that person. Her movements were so fast
that the people did not catch them.
“Ouch!”
A voice cried, and everyone looked in that direction. There Celia was, lying flat on the ground!
When Celia saw how much attention Nicole was getting, Celia planned to bring along her leftover food
on her plate and knock Nicole over to humiliate her in front of everybody!
But Celia had never expected Nicole to be that agile to dodge her, causing her to be the one that was
lying flat on the floor!
Celia’s palms were pressing onto her leftover food scattered around the ground. She looked utterly
disheveled!
