Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 28 Your New Guest

There were also some patient's families and nurses in front of the elevator. Afraid of being surrounded, Nicole had to keep quiet and allowed Jacob to pull her.

Nicole was taken to a fancy restaurant by Jacob, who was a frequent guest here. As soon as they entered, the waiter took them to a private room on the second floor with a smile.

"Mr. Jacob, we have the newest product of this year. Do you want a pot of it?"

Jacob didn't raise his head and just hummed, "HMM."

After they sat down, he looked at Nicole and asked her with some expressions, "What do you want to eat? The dishes here are not spicy. I think you will like them. "

The waiter was surprised, but after all, he had received training, so he quickly adjusted his mood and handed the menu to Nicole with a natural and graceful manner.

Nicole rarely had dinner in this kind of place. She was not used to the enthusiastic service. Besides, it was a little bit unhappy for her to be forced to eat in such a far place. So she didn't take the menu. She just looked at Jacob and said in a hard voice, "I'm not hungry. You eat by yourself."

The waiter was more surprised.

As a guest of such a high level like Jacob, every sales clerk would remember clearly what he should said and what he shouldn't say. He was trained to fawn the guests.

The waiter was guessing their relationship. Although they looked ambiguous, it could be seen from her dressing and temperament that the women did not enjoy a noble status. He thought she was just a minor mistress.

However, when they sat down, the first thing for Jacob was to ask this woman. He didn't look down upon her or put on a show of disdain. Instead, he asked with care and casualness. It seemed that they were very familiar with each other.

This was already surprising to the waiter. After all, Jacob seldom brought women here. But what surprised the waiter more was the attitude of the women.

Impatience, and boredom.

It seemed that Jacob was the one who insisted on going to the banquet and the woman didn't want to come.

The waiter thought about it secretly and gave Nicole one more look.

"Make as many dishes as I usually order." without looking at the menu, Jacob ordered, "By the way, make light dishes."

"Yes, sir. Please wait for moment."

The waiter served two cups of hot tea and went out. The room immediately overflowed with the fragrance of the tea.

They sat there doing nothing, and neither of them spoke. Embarrassed and bored, Nicole took a sip of tea.

Jacob was more ingenuous than Nicole. He looked at her with a direct and impudent sight.

Nicole also felt the heat on her face, as if it was something swept her face and would make a big hole on her face.

She couldn't help asking, "Can you stop looking at me like that?"

"Why are you so upset about coming out to have a meal with me?" Jacob didn't answer her and asked her in a sharp voice instead.

Nicole was stunned. She knew she had already expressed her displeasure, but she didn't expect Jacob to be so straightforward.

She was embarrassed when her trick was exposed. Before she could explain, she was interrupted by Jacob.

"Do you think I spent money to look at your unhappy face?"

Nicole was infuriated at once. She didn't want to explain anything, so she simply looked away and pouted without saying anything.

She hated it when Jacob always talked about money. This word reminded her that it was just a trade between them and reminded her of the terrible memory when she was forced to do so.

"Nicole Du, don't make me angry all the time." He took a sip from his tea with a tense expression on his face.

"Yes, you know I always make you angry. Then why do you always come to me? Aren't you making trouble for yourself?" Nicole retorted.

"I spent my money. I'll make the best of it." Said Jacob.

Hearing this, Nicole Du's face turned sour. She opened her mouth but said nothing.

The dishes were served soon. Nicole was not hungry, but when she smelled the flavor of the dishes, her stomach started to grumble.

She was afraid that Jacob might hear it, so she coughed again and again to cover it.

"Please enjoy yourselves."

After the waiter left, Jacob picked up his chopsticks and started to eat. Nicole remembered that she said she wasn't hungry at first, and she was afraid that she would be teased by him again, so she didn't eat anything.

"Do you want me to feed you?" Jacob said in a flat voice.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Jacob, "I will eat myself."

She began to eat with anger. After a while, she suddenly realized something and looked up at Jacob secretly.

With an indifferent expression on his face, Jacob's thin lips opened and closed. He was eating a common Chinese food, but he ate it with an exquisite feeling of French food. Just looking at him eating, it was a kind of enjoyment.

Noticing that Jacob raised his eyelids, Nicole quickly moved her eyes away and went on eating. After a while, she peeked at Jacob again.

This time, she was caught on the spot by Jacob.

"What are you looking at?" Jacob frowned.

Of course Nicole was embarrassed to say that she just looked at him because of his good-looking. She shook her head and continued to eat.

Jacob thought there was something dirty on his face, so he grabbed the napkin on the table and wiped it carefully. He looked a little confused.

"You..."

"I'm full. I want to go to the washroom." Nicole suddenly stood up, walked around the table, got out of the compartment and followed the sign to the bathroom.

She breathed a sigh of relief with the hand of the washbasin. She looked at herself in the mirror. There was an abnormal blush on her face, like a young girl in love.

Nicole looked at herself in the mirror, lost in thought. She didn't understand herself and neither did she understand Jacob.

She didn't know how she treated Jacob. Sometimes she was angry and thought she was insulted, but sometimes, like just now, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

However, Jacob was more unpredictable. When she thought that he disliked her, he would show his tenderness, but when she got used to his tenderness, she would see his apathy.

Over and over again, she felt her brain in a mess and she was almost on the verge of collapse.

Nicole sighed deeply and put her hand under the water tap. Then a stream of hot water came out. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

When she just washed her hands for a little while, she heard a sneer from behind her suddenly.

"What are you doing here? Which guest did you come with this time?"

Nicole raised her head and saw that Sabina was standing behind her from the mirror. Her face became gloomy immediately.

"It seemed that your guest treated you very well, and he even took you to such a top-grade place for dinner. Is that handsome man you met last time? Or is he a new guest? " Sabina stood there, twisting her slim figure in a red dress and curly hair.

Nicole drew back her sight, slowly took out a piece of tissue to wipe her face, and threw the tissue into the trash can. Then she turned around and looked directly into the eyes of Sabina.

"Then what about you? Which guest did you come with?"
