His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1201 What Bad Luck

The nurse took the phone from Nick, put her phone number and name in it, and then handed it back.

"Now you have my name and number. You can call me if you need help."

Looking at his phone, Nick was about to say something, but Isla replied for him, "Rest assured. I'll let

him call you."

"Thank you, Isla," the nurse said sweetly, overjoyed by Isla's statement.

"You're welcome. He's very lucky to have your heart," Isla whispered in the girl's ear. Pulling back, Isla

flashed the nurse a reassuring smile to show her that she would do everything in her power to unite the

couple.

"Thank you, Isla. I'll treat you to a meal sometime," the nurse gushed with a beaming smile.

"Oh, there's no need. If you have time, you can go to Nick's house and cook for him instead," Isla said,

winking at the nurse. Stealing a glance at Nick, Isla looked back at the young girl and said, "We should

go. Keep in touch."

"Okay. I will," the nurse returned, nodding her head eagerly.

The three got back to Isla's car. When Isla started the engine and drove away, Sheryl, who was in back

seat, broke the silence. "It's so good to be young," she sighed.

"Love has nothing to do with age. If you want it, you could have lots of suitors. But you only love

Charles and you'll never give another guy a second's worth of attention," Isla teased.

She thought Sheryl had made peace with Charles for it had been a while since they had caught him

with Rachel alone at Lavender Bar.

However, Sheryl remained silent. It was true that she wouldn't fall in love with anyone else other than

Charles. But she wasn't sure whether if he felt the same way.

Nick's house wasn't far from the hospital and it took Isla less than twenty minutes to drive there. Nick

and his colleague had originally rented the condo, but the man now lived there alone.

Back then, Nick had some money so he chose a fully furnished apartment in a well-equipped housing

estate with lots of green space. When the three got out of the car and entered Nick's condo, Sheryl and

Isla glanced around. It had three rooms and a living hall. To their surprise, the apartment was clean and

tidy.

This made the two women even more fond of their young friend.

"Sheryl, Isla, my place is a little small. Please make yourself at home and have a seat," the young man

said as he scratched his head. Something suddenly occurred to him. "Oh, what would you like to drink?

I'll get it for you."

"Your home is lovely, Nick. I'll have some water, thank you," Isla replied with an approving smile.

"Did you check that nurse's number? What's her name?" Sheryl asked with interest.

"Not yet," Nick replied honestly.

"You should check it out. We don't know her name yet. She's pretty and she's into you," Isla urged

eagerly.

"Oh, jeez. Why are you women so big on gossip? You two are already married and have children, but

you act like teenage girls interested in someone else's personal life," Nick snapped with a blush.

"It has nothing to do with age. Go check it now," Isla said impatiently. She wouldn't let the topic go.

Resigned, Nick pulled out his cell phone, unlocked the screen and discovered that the nurse's name

was Cassie.

A small smile slowly crept onto his face. 'It's a good name, ' he thought to himself. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

"Cassie..." he murmured.

"Cherish her. She's a nice girl," Isla remarked. Although she liked Nick very much, he was like a little

brother to her and she wanted to protect him. She was so happy for Nick that a beautiful girl was into

him.

Nick was tongue-tied. He didn't know what to say. Considering his current situation, he had no plans of

being in a relationship, at least not until he got his company back on the right track. Of course he

wouldn't tell this to them.

Sheryl and Isla meant to leave Nick's house as it was lunchtime.

They intended to take Nick out for lunch. But since he was just released from the hospital today and

was too weak to walk around, they decided against it.

Nick proposed to cook lunch for them, but they declined his offer. After all, he was a patient and he

needed rest.

When the two stepped out of Nick's house, Isla inquired in a coquettish tone, "What would you like to

eat, Sher?"

"Let's go get Japanese food. Last time I went to a Japanese restaurant, but the food wasn't authentic,"

Sheryl replied. It crossed her mind that she hadn't real Japanese cuisine in a very long time.

"I see. I know a very popular place that serves real Japanese food. Let's go, I'll take you there," Isla

returned excitedly. She loved Japanese food.

Back at Tarsan Corporation, Rachel was caught up in her work. She was very busy, but all her efforts

were not in vain. Her company had established business relationship with several big enterprises in the

city. Lance had been coming by to see her frequently and had even promised to marry her. She would

never agree to marry that old man, but she wasn't stupid enough to outright turn down his offer. Lance

was still useful to her, after all. She had to flirt with him, and meanwhile, fool around with another men.

"Holley..." Rachel called out.

"What's up, Ms. Bai?" Holley asked, who was in Rachel's office. She always brought Holley along with

her when she went to meet with her lecherous clients. Holley had also done her part to please them.

"Our hands have gotten quite full these days. What would you like for lunch? It's my treat," Rachel

proposed, as she lowered her head and looked at her expensive wristwatch. 'Our employees have

already returned from their lunch breaks, but we haven't eaten anything since breakfast, ' she thought.

"Oh, I do feel tired. But I have no idea what to eat." After thinking for a while, Holley said with a smile,

"Would you like Japanese food? I know one Japanese resturant and the food there is delicious."

"Okay, let's go. Since it's my treat, we'll go wherever you want," Rachel agreed with a smile. She was in

high spirits, so she went along with Holley's suggestion with no hesitation.

"Please give me five minutes. I need to touch up my make-up," Holley said.

"Okay."

As it turned out, the Japanese restaurant that Isla had mentioned to Sheryl was the same one that

Holley had recommended to Rachel. When Rachel and Holley arrived at the restaurant, Sheryl and Isla

were still on their way.

They took a seat and ordered food. As they began having a pleasant chitchat, Holley suddenly caught

sight of Sheryl and Isla walking through the door.

"Ms. Bai, look!" Holley said to Rachel under her breath as she pointed towards the entrance.

"Shoot, they're here. How would we run into them during lunchtime?" Rachel whined with a frown at the

sight of Sheryl. Her good mood was instantly ruined by her enemy.

"What bad luck! Do you remember how Sheryl bullied us at Tarsan Corporation last time? We finally

have our chance. Do you want to get even with her?" When Holley finished speaking, a scheme began

brewing in her mind.
