Nicole stayed at home for one night. On the next day, when she was about to leave, Judy was reluctant
to let her leave.
"Nicole, since you are living in the dormitory of the new company now, how about your new
roommates? If not good, you can invite them to dinner and get along well with them."
Afraid that her mother would go to see her if she lived outside, Nicole had to lie to her mother the first
day when her mother asked about her place.
"How about I put some pickles for you and you can share them with others?"
"No, mom. We're just colleagues, not college classmates. We're not that close."
Judy was still worried, "well, you should be more careful. We don't bully others, and we can't let others
bully us, understand?"
Nicole nodded heavily, "I know."
"Have you brought everything with you?"
"Yes, mom. I'll come to see you later."
"Okay."
Not letting her mother send her out, Nicole went downstairs alone and walked out of the community.
When she walked to the gate of the community, she saw Ron, who was standing there, playing with his
mobile phone with his head down.
When she was surprised, Ron suddenly looked up and saw her.
"Hi." Ron waved at Nicole and greeted her.
With a smile on her face, Nicole walked over and asked, "Why are you standing here?"
Ron shrugged, "I'm waiting for a taxi."
"Okay."
"How about you?" Ron asked.
Nicole replied, "I'll go back to the company."
"Take a taxi together?" Ron suggested.
Nicole shook her head and refused Ron's kindness. "No, thanks. My friend will pick me up. I'm leaving
now."
Ron frowned and asked, "friend?"
"Yes. Bye. " Nicole smiled and didn't answer Ron's question. She walked to the place where the driver
parked Jacob's car, opened the door and got into the car.
In fact, she could have pretended to be calm and let the driver follow her. But after all, Ron was not a
member of her family, not her mother or brother. There was no need for her to pretend in front of Ron.
Therefore, even if Ron saw her get on such a luxury car, he must have a new evaluation of her, which
might not be a good evaluation, but she didn't care.
As Nicole expected, the smile on Ron's face disappeared when he saw her get on the luxury car. He
looked at the direction of the car with a straight face and frowned.
Nicole got in the car and soon received a call from Judy. Knowing that this call would come sooner or
later, Nicole answered it happily.
"Mom, what's up?"
"Nicole, what's the matter with the ten thousand dollars in the envelope on my bedroom table? Did you
put it there?" Judy came straight to the point without greeting.
Nicole nodded with a smile, "yes, I did. Take the ten thousand dollars. Our family has just paid for the
heating. You should be short of money. Use this money to buy the things necessary. "
"I have money, and I don't need so much money!" Judy sounded unhappy but anxious, "Nicole, you just
changed your job. How could you get so much money?"
"Mom, I just got a bonus. Don't forget it."
Judy still refused, "then don't give me so much money. You have bought us the clothes for the change
of season. How much can I spend to buy some food? You are on the new job. You have to spend a lot
of money on clothes. Keep money for yourself. "
Although Judy said that because she felt sorry for her daughter, Nicole felt very uncomfortable when
she heard it.
She waited quietly for her mother to finish her words, and then said slowly, "Mom, do you think I'm the
kind of person who will only care about the life and death of my family, as long as I'm happy and have
fun outside?"
"Nicole, you know I didn't mean that..."
"I know you don't want me to be tired or burden, mom. But I'm really doing well now, and I don't make
so much money. I've made enough money to hide it but let you and Jim live a hard life. Am I still a
human being?"
Judy was speechless. Hearing her daughter's sad tone, she couldn't refuse anymore.
"Nicole..."
"Mom, it seems that my career is very promising at present. The company also regards me as a
potential employee. You don't have to worry about me. You can spend the money generously. You can
buy whatever you want to eat or more, so that I can rest assured outside, okay? "
"Okay." Judy sighed, "Nicole, I'm so lucky to have such a good daughter like you."
Nicole smiled, "Mom, that's what I should do. We are a family. We share weal and woe, don't we? "
"Yes."
"Then spend it well. Don't save so much money. Mom, if you save so much money, I will feel uneasy
outside."
"Nicole..."
After hanging up the phone, Judy walked to the table where Mr. Du was seated. She smiled with tears
and said softly to Mr. Du in the photo, "Honey, I didn't let you down. Look at our daughter. How sensible
she is now."
In the photo, Nicole's father, who was handsome and sweet, smiled gently and quietly.
When Nicole returned to her room with Jacob, she opened the door and walked in. There was no one
in the room, and the bed and bathroom were in a mess. Obviously, he was not there. Knowing that the
driver would tell Jacob that she had come back, Nicole didn't contact him but began to clean up the
room.
When she was packing, her phone rang.
It was from Jacob.
"What's up?" Nicole put her phone on speaker. While wiping the bathroom glass, she talked to Jacob
on the phone.
"What are you doing?" Jacob asked.
"I'm tidying up. I just left for one day. Look at what you have done to the house." Nicole replied
impatiently.
Jacob coughed to cover his embarrassment and immediately changed the topic. "Come out to have
dinner after you done. I've reserved a seat and I'll ask the driver to pick you up later."
"…… Okay. "
Noticing the hesitation in Nicole's tone, Jacob asked, "what's wrong? What's up? "
"Not really." Nicole twisted the rag in her hand and said helplessly, "I'm just a little worried, in case
someone takes a photo of me."
"You worry too much. Even if they take pictures of me, they don't dare to post it casually."
Nicole had no choice but to tell Jacob the truth, "no, of course People don't dare to do so if they know
you. I'm just worried that some passers-by took pictures of me, not saying that I'm narcissistic. What if
it's Keyboard man or someone who is curious about me, and even shot you on the Internet, it will be
exposed."
Jacob kept silent.
"We don't have to go out to eat. How about I cook for you? What do you want to eat? Noodles or rice? "
Suggested Nicole.
"Whatever." With a bang, Jacob hung up the phone.
Nicole was confused. She just suggested to cook. Why was he so angry!
