Chapter 241 Took Him Back Directly
Nicole then sent Hayden home and left him in Whitney’s care before leaving for her dinner date with Julia.
The restaurant Julia chose was in a high-rise building. She had already taken a seat by the window, which offered a panoramic view of the city.
The afternoon sun wasn’t too bright. Through the window, the sun’s rays shone on her, making her look warm.
It wasn’t yet dinnertime. She looked at her watch and realized it was only 4.00PM.
The afternoon tea that she ordered had long been served. Holding a cup of flower tea, she was elegantly stirring it with a small spoon with a long handle.
Nicole noticed this the moment she walked into the restaurant. Julia appears elegant without opening her mouth, she thought. At least, Julia was the cuter type when compared to herself.
Nicole then walked over to Julia and sat in the seat across from her. “I almost don’t recognise you with your demure demeanor.”
Julia rolled her eyes at that. “I’ve always been this demure! Attractive, right? People will fall in love with me at first sight!” Julia spoke softly.
Seeing that, Nicole couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out laughing.
Julia’s face immediately turned grim and she looked as if she had just swallowed a fly. Then, with her legs crossed, she threw the small spoon into the cup and asked, “What expression is that?”
Hearing her displeased tone, Nicole tried to restrain herself and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, but you should act like yourself. Otherwise, I really can’t help it.”
Since they were close friends, Julia gave up pretending. She leaned backwards, her lips pursed, completely devoid of the demure demeanor she had displayed earlier. “I’m about to meet my future in-laws. What if they don’t like me because I’m not demure enough?”
Nicole responded with a smile, and she raised her gaze to the person in front of her. Julia, despite being younger, already had significant accomplishments in the medical field.
With such a young accomplishment, her standard of partner was also high. Normal men wouldn’t pique her interest.
Hence, Nicole was curious as to what kind of man had won Julia over.
“So, who’s that man? It’s so sudden that you’re interested in him now.”
Julia flushed at the mention of that man. With her head bowed, she said shyly, “In fact, it’s not at all sudden. He is my senior and went to the same university as me. A doctor, too.”
Nicole smiled as she noticed Julia’s rare blushing face. “The one you mentioned having a crush on?” she asked, taking a sip of the tea in front of her.
“Yes. It’s him!” Julia nodded. Her face lit up with a contented smile. Every time the man was mentioned, she couldn’t help but smile.
“Do you recall the hospital exchange program I participated in? They sent me to another hospital for that, and it turned out that he was there!”
She had previously mentioned the exchange program to Nicole. At that time, Julia was grudgingly ranting about how the hospital was not humane in making her bustle around but after she joined the program, Nicole had not heard anything from her. Now she knew that it was all because Julia had fallen in love by then!
“Wow, how did you make him yours?” Nicole asked, her chin resting on her palm. Julia undoubtedly had the ability to talk about this for a long time.
Indeed, the moment Julia heard the question, she started talking non-stop.
“What else can I do? I brought him to a bar and forced some drinks on him. After he got drunk, I took him back to the hotel and everything just flowed after that.”
Nicole was at a loss for words after hearing that. Julia had always been a frank and candid lady, but it still surprised her that Julia could be this direct even in a relationship.
“Julia, my goodness. You are a lady. Can’t you be a little more reserved?” Nicole couldn’t help but disagree with Julia’s actions.
Julia, on the other hand, was unconcerned. “I must hold onto the things I adore! What if I didn’t do anything and another woman won him over?”
Well, that was a good point. Nicole had no idea how to reply to that.
