Chapter 1747
"Okay." Nicole nodded her head and lowered her head to look at the menu.
The fourth lady by her side peered over, watching the scene before her as she helped herself to a snicker. "Lloyd,
it's a rare sight for you to be so courteous to others. Is Nicole a woman with a special place in your heart?"
"Oh yeah! Lloyd has always been afraid of getting into scandals with the female leads and keeps them at arm's
length."
As the comments from everyone piled in, Nicole's discomfort gradually grew, but Lloyd, on the other hand, was
inexplicably pleased. Everyone knew why and so did Nicole.
As expected, Lloyd was very happy that everyone was discussing about Nicole and him being together.
As Nicole noticed that Lloyd did not refute any of their claims, she spoke up, and in an icy tone, she said, "Guys,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtplease don't make jokes like these too casually."
Nicole was young in age, but all of her features possessed an inexplicably captivating quality about them. Her
daring eyebrows and eyes were filled with courage powerful enough to stun everyone in the vicinity.
"O-okay. I understand.” The fifth lady nodded quickly.
In response to that, Nicole softened her expression and explained, "Lloyd and I have known each other for years
now, so we might appear to be close. However, I have a fiance, so I hope that none of you will make jokes of that
sort again."
After Nicole had asserted herself with such solemnness at the dinner table, the atmosphere instantly became
awkward, with Nachelle giving Nicole a look of disapproval. Her mind was in a constant loop with the word 'fiance'
ever since it came out of Nicole's mouth.
'How could Jared be any better than my son? How dare she disregard my son's feelings for her in front of everyone
and publicize her relationship so brazenly like that!?'
At the same time, the look on Lloyd’s face soured, and as he tried to suppress the bitterness in his heart, and
explained with a dry smile, "Yeah, Nicole and I are just friends. I hope nobody will go around spreading rumors
which would tarnish her reputation."
And after he had spoken, he took a sip of wine out of his glass in frustration. Even as he did, Nachelle had never
seen her son looking so miserable before.
A grimace crossed Nachelle's face at once, and she looked over at Nicole. "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore,
at least not before the show starts airing. Otherwise, it'll just reduce the popularity of the show."
Nicole shot Nachelle a glance and gave her a light smile.
'I have a feeling that she's trying to fool herself. Our engagement party was one of the biggest in town. All of the
renowned families were present at the party and all of them are aware of my relationship with Jared. Perhaps it

was because I did not have much to do with the media that not many knew about it. I bet that once the drama has
aired, more people will find out about our engagement,' Nicole thought as she kept her silence, for she was too lazy
to speak up.
However, Nicole did not forget that she had spared half an hour to join everyone here for dinner. She proceeded to
order her meal quickly before going back to interacting with the screenwriters and her other fellow actors.
When the dishes came, Lloyd who did not fear the judgment and prying eyes of others, filled up Nicole's plate with a
variety of dishes. Everyone was surprised by Lloyd's sudden gesture toward Nicole, especially after everything she
had said earlier. In spite of this, nobody dared to ask questions.
Nicole frowned when she saw Lloyd filling her plate up with a variety of dishes. 'Dang. Does this guy not know when
to quit? Does he not know how to avoid arousing the public's suspicion?'
'If I eat this, it'd be even more difficult for me to clear my name.' Nicole pushed the plate in front of her away
before telling the waiter to give her a new one.
When that happened, everyone around them became embarrassed. Lloyd himself was also taken aback, as well as
some of the actresses.
'How many women would have killed to have their dishes picked out and placed onto their plates by Lloyd!?'
