Reputation

[Chapter 93]

Despite Jamie's tarnished reputation, Jarrod still expended effort and time to shield her.

And it all boiled down to one reason.

After their meal, the driver took Julie home, while Nicole planned to head back alone.

Soon enough, she realized she'd left her purse behind.

Returning quickly to retrieve it, she also made a quick detour to the restroom.

That was when she spotted a familiar figure not far from her.

Jarrod and Jamie had also chosen this place for a meal.

They looked like they had just arrived and were on their way to a chamber.

As they moved in her direction, Nicole lowered her gaze, her nerves getting the better of her.

She nearly collided with Jarrod.

"Be careful!" His refined voice filled her ears.

Jarrod steadied Nicole by the arm, his thumb caressing it briefly before letting her go.

Nicole's heart pounded in her chest.
