Chapter 523
Will you let us go if I drink it?” Nicole asked. Her face was inscrutable as she tried to hide her sadness.
Wyatt was stunned. He didn’t expect that Nicole would agree to his request.
“I keep my words,” he said with a stern voice. “I’m not like someone who tells lies.”
He stared at Nicole pointedly, as if accusing her of not being honest with him.
But Nicole didn’t seem to care. After getting the answer, she walked over to Wyatt, grabbed the glass in his hand, and drank up all its contents.
“Mr. Todd, I’ve emptied your glass. Can I leave now?”
Nicole tried to look calm. In reality, her stomach was churning. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
She had a sensitive stomach. There were food and drinks that would irritate her tummy. She had juice earlier with Eli and Wyatt gave her a pretty strong drink.
Wyatt looked at Nicole with a complicated expression on his face. He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Just then a group of people came up to them.
The producer took one look at Nicole and he knew at once that something might be off with her. “Are you feeling okay?” he asked with concern in his voice.
“Oh… yes, I am,” Nicole said with a thin smile. She then turned her head sideways to introduce Wyatt to the producer. “This is Mr. Todd. He said he wanted to invite everyone to drink, so you can order whatever you want to drink.”
The producer raised his eyebrows in surprise. “So you’re Mr. Todd! I’ve heard a lot about you. Our crew is having a party here today. I didn’t expect you to come here.” He then raised his glass and said, “On behalf of everyone in the crew, I’d like to propose a toast to you!”
“Cheers!” said the crew members behind them in unison.
Wyatt gave a nonchalant shrug. He didn’t care about it at all. He just stared at Nicole who looked calm but dazed.
So, it turned out that she wasn’t alone on a date with Eli.
He felt guilty about what he had thought of her. He grabbed her hand, wanting to explain himself.
Nicole turned pale as a ghost. Large beads of sweat formed on her forehead. She almost keeled over. Covering her mouth, she staggered into the restroom.
Damn it!
She was feeling that cramping abdominal pain again. It must be because of the strong drink she just had.
Wyatt wanted to slap himself for causing the upset stomach. At the same time, he was worried so he followed her.
Nicole pushed the restroom door open and went straight to the sink.
She spilled out stomach juices with mushed-up, half-digested food. A strong winy stench filled the restroom.
Nicole felt a little better after throwing up. She turned on the faucet and rinsed her mouth with water.
She tried to straighten herself and struggled to walk towards the door to get out of the restroom. Stepping out, she bumped into a man.
“Oh, heck! Who the hell are you to bump against me?”
It was a man who had tattoos on his arms. He cursed after turning around to look at Nicole.
The hooligans around him also stared at her fiercely.
“I’m sorry.”
Nicole, still pale and feeling a bit woozy, tried to walk away.
The man however grabbed her by the arm.
“Hey, look at who I bumped into. That famous star. Nicole, right?”
“Oh, yes! It’s Nicole!”
The hooligans’ eyes lit up and they surrounded Nicole.
Feeling disgusted, Nicole dodged to get away from the man.
“Just what do you think you’re doing? Leaving after colliding with me? Well, it’s not that easy!”
The man stared at Nicole with burning eyes. Clearly, he had nothing but ill intentions toward her.
“Get out of my way!” Nicole spat with repugnance at the man.
She raised her hand and gave the man an angry slap on his face.
“You bitch!”
The man was so furious that he grabbed Nicole with one hand and lifted the other hand to slap her.
His hand was about to land on her face when he felt a strong hand grabbing his arm.
“What do you want to do?” Wyatt said furiously.
He grabbed the man’s arm so hard as if he wanted to crush the man’s bones.
“Ouch!”
The man withdrew his hand in pain. The hooligans behind him quickly surrounded him and asked if he got injured.
Nicole fixed her eyes on Wyatt who stood in front of her. She felt aggrieved.
“What are you doing here? It’s none of your business!”
