Nicole and Julie went back to the banquet hall. Everyone started to mingle and laugh with each other.

It was as if that little episode earlier did not exist at all.

Nicole’s relaxed face instantly had a hint of displeasure. She cast a cold sidelong glance at him. “ Do I need your permission to be somewhere?“

Keith braced himself and decided to go over to say a few words for his friend. “Nicole, I didn’t mean that. That watch earlier… Why didn’t you get it for Eric? He waited for you all night at his birthday party, but you didn’t come…“
