Chapter 281
Meanwhile, at the other side of the restaurant, the girl whose bag got snatched was one of Debby’s friends, and her name was Cherry. She walked back to her other friends looking so disheveled and stressed. Her two other friends, Sharon and Sam, quickly asked her what happened because of how she looked. Cherry started narrating everything to them annoyingly. She said that after those thieves ran off, one of the other ones had the audacity to walk back to her and hand her bag to her like he was doing her a favour. She said the boy, whatever his name was, looked like a thief and a pervert and she was just so irritated by him. She said the whole thing felt like bad luck from the moment she saw him and she never wanted to see him in her life again. Her friends were also getting angry as she talked. Sharon’s face had already changed, and Sam was already shaking her head because she couldn’t believe that kind of rubbish could happen and it was so obvious they had already created their own
Chapter 282
Debby turned to Cole and Fiona and introduced them to her friends too. They all exchanged quick greetings, small smiles, and those polite nods people do when they’re meeting new faces but because of how the sitting arrangement was, Nolan still hadn’t seen Debby’s friends properly. They were standing at an angle that blocked his view.Nolan actually tried to turn around at first, just to see what they looked like, but he immediately changed his mind. He didn’t want it to seem like he was too eager or too interested. He wanted to keep a cool face, so he just stayed where he was and scrolled through his phone slowly while waiting for Debby to finish her introductions.“So, the last person I’ll be introducing to you all is Nolan,” Debby said loudly with a smile. Then she leaned closer to Cherry and whispered, “And Cherry, this one is specifically for you… he’s single.”Cherry giggled and covered her mouth. “Stop it, Debby”“I’m not stopping anything,” Debby said as she rolled her eyes pla

Debby couldn’t believe her ears at all and she also couldn’t believe that she was actually about to match her own friend with a pervert and a thief. Her heart dropped because she honestly believed Nolan was a good person. Gabriel had told her about his background, that Nolan wasn’t from a well-to-do family and came from a poor background but she didn’t care about that, didn’t judge him for it and didn’t mind at all.In fact, she introduced her friend to him because she thought he deserved someone nice, someone good, someone to lift him up so he wouldn’t feel like his whole life was miserable or hopeless. She was trying to be kind and was even proud of herself that she thought of it.“I can’t believe you were just about to link Cherry up with a pervert and a thief,” Sam said, shaking her head.“Oh please, I didn’t know he was such a person!” Debby snapped back immediately, her voice loud because she didn’t want her friends to blame her. “If I knew, there’s no way I’d let him even be he

“It’s fine,” Cherry said quickly, flipping her hair and shrugging like she wasn’t bothered anymore. “I know you had good intentions for me, Debby, so it’s okay. And also, by the way… I already have someone that would soon be my boyfriend.” She said the last part excitedly, her mood switching instantly as she smiled happily.Debby’s eyes widened so fast and gasped so loud that Cole, Gabriel and Nolan thought something was wrong with her, “You have a boyfriend? Already? How? When? How come you didn’t inform me!?” Debby almost screamed, grabbing Cherry’s arm in shock, “I didn’t tell you because it’s not official yet, and I wanted to tell you when I was sure of my feelings and his. Even though he hasn’t asked me out, I just know he will,” Cherry replied shyly, her cheeks already turning pink.When Cole and Gabriel heard this, they were not happy at all. In fact, both of them were confused and irritated at the same time. Just a few minutes ago, they were excited to hear that Debby wanted

Cherry quickly sat down on a chair, brought out her makeup bag immediately, adjusted her hair, and started fixing her makeup with full concentration. “Thank you for giving me heads-up, even though it was late,” Cherry said playfully as she dabbed powder on her face, checking her reflection every second. She packed her makeup bag the moment she was done, and right on time, James and his friend John walked into the restaurant and started walking toward them.James and John were friends, but anyone seeing them for the first time would think they were brothers because of how close they were. Their closeness was so tight and natural that there was nowhere James went that you wouldn’t see John right next to him. Everyone was always jealous of their friendship because it looked too perfect and people meeting them for the first time would automatically assume they were brothers because they had the same vibe and energy. The both of them walked in, looking so handsome in their luxury clothes
Chapter 286
James was a very competitive person, and everywhere he went, he was always comparing himself with anybody he saw. Whether it was about who was more handsome or who was richer, James always wanted to be above everyone. He loved the feeling of being the one on top, and that was why he always did everything possible to make sure he held the highest position anywhere he entered. He refused to allow anyone to be better than him. So in his eyes, Nolan was nothing but a measly loser who didn’t even have one single expensive thing on him for James to point at. He couldn’t believe Cherry was even dragged down to stand on the same level as someone like Nolan.“By the way, why are you all on the ground floor and didn’t book the private room upstairs?” James asked, looking around with a deep frown. “This place looks so congested. I don’t like the way the tables are joined together at all. Who did this kind of setup?”“You don’t even need to ask,” Sam muttered under her breath as she looked at Nol

“This is unbelievable,” James said, still laughing, wiping fake tears from his eyes. “I don’t even know what to say.”He took a slow breath before shaking his head like he felt pity for Nolan. “But I do know one thing, yes, life might be tough, and yes, getting by might be a little difficult sometimes, but it is not enough reason for you to steal or start using that kind of childish tactic. That’s actually very saddening.”John nodded beside him, clearly enjoying the moment.James continued, acting like some wise elder giving Nolan advice. “Now that you know me, and because of Debby, I will even offer to help you. If you need financial help, you can just reach out to me. You don’t have to be going around stealing from people.”He paused a little, letting his words sink in before adding another jab.“If you’ve been doing this since, with the mindset that you won’t be caught, let me tell you, you will be caught one day and not just caught, you’ll be sent straight to jail. And I’m very s

But Nolan simply shook his head. “You don’t have to do that. The money I paid isn’t a problem,” Nolan said with the same calmness he had been carrying since everything started. If someone didn’t know him, they would think he was faking it and was really bothered truly. Gabriel sighed heavily. “I’m really sorry that this is happening. I swear this is not what I wanted for today. But I can’t leave. I just can’t walk out and leave Debby alone and…” His voice trailed off slowly, guilt eating up his words.Nolan lifted his hand slightly, cutting him off before he could continue. His expression didn’t change. He understood Gabriel, understood the situation and he understood that he was not the problem here.But still, Gabriel felt terrible as if everything was his fault.You need to stop stressing, Gabriel. I’m the one that is being attacked but you’re the one getting worried,” Nolan said smiling and shaking his head. “Remember that I’m used to things like this. I’ve been dealing with ru

But instead of being happy, Fiona slowly turned her head and stared at Cole with a glare that made him keep quiet. She looked at him like he had just said the most annoying thing in the world. In her mind, she was wondering who even asked him for his own input. She didn’t even ask him for anything, and wondered how he didn’t know when to keep quiet so that the person she actually wanted to talk to could talk to her.Fiona gave Cole one last look of disgust before hissing under her breath and looking away from him like he irritated her soul.James saw the way Fiona hissed at Cole, and instead of minding his business, he actually smiled to himself like he had been waiting for that exact moment. He leaned forward slowly, making sure his movement caught Fiona’s attention. And of course, she looked at him immediately.“If a beautiful lady like you wants to come here every day,” James said in his smooth confident tone. “then it shouldn’t be a problem at all. Pretty girls like you deserve to

Fiona almost melted when James called her beautiful again. He had already complimented her twice in less than ten minutes, and she couldn’t even hide how happy she felt. She blushed, smiling like someone who has just been proposed to. “Then… I’ll thank you for that in advance,” she said softly. “Congratulations in advance too, and I can’t wait for you to start working and make everyone proud.”Then she paused a bit before adding, “Also, I don’t think I’ve introduced myself to you properly. My name is Fiona. And also I can say that we’ve become friends now.”She stretched out her hand with a shy but eager smile, and James shook it, also smiling as he knew exactly what he had just achieved.Cherry couldn’t believe what was happening right in front of her eyes as she watched Fiona and James talking like they had known each other for years. She was so irritated and jealous that she could feel the heat crawling up her neck. She didn’t like one single thing about how Fiona and James were
