Chapter 291
Nolan and Gabriel were both watching everything that was happening, and the more they watched, the harder it became for them to hide their irritation. They couldn’t stop themselves from glaring at Fiona, who was still talking nonstop and smiling like nothing was wrong, she was completely glued to James as if Cole didn’t even exist. They honestly didn’t understand why Cole liked her so much. They had said it so many times, Gabriel especially. He had told Cole countless times that Fiona wasn’t the type of girl for him, that she didn’t value him, she didn’t treat him well and that she didn’t even like him the way he hoped. It was too obvious and anyone with eyes could see it. But for some reason, Cole just couldn’t see past his feelings. He was still stubborn and still insisting that Fiona was the one he wanted.Even James had figured it out and It didn’t even take long for him to. The way Cole was acting, the way he looked at Fiona and way he was trying so hard to warn her and protect

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

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

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

“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
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
