Chapter 1165: Chapter 1144: She is a little ****!
"Well, Brother Sandy, this isn’t about lacking ambition, it’s just that our classmates are really into their food!"
Nicole felt embarrassed to even bring it up. All of them were students, yet they wanted to dine at Immortal Pavilion, a place typically frequented by wealthy heirs. It really seemed like a waste of money and a way to mooch off their parents. However, since it had already been brought up, if she backed out now, wouldn’t that embarrass Brother Sandy?
So, this was the only solution she could think of!
"How much can a few girls really eat anyway?"
Hearing the caution in the voice on the other end of the phone, Moriya’s tone softened a bit more, "Alright, Nicole, don’t worry about unnecessary things. Your Brother Sandy isn’t as poor as you think!"
Doctors are generally incorruptible and earn a fixed salary without any side income, but...
That’s only something a doctor without ambition would worry about. How could he, Moriya, be counted among such men?
"Well, Brother Sandy, they said they want to go to Immortal Pavilion for a complete Manchu-Han banquet, and, well... that seems to cost more than just a little money. It could easily eat up a whole year of your salary!"
A Manchu-Han banquet for four could easily cost tens of thousands, and with a little more recklessness, even over 10,000 might be gone in just minutes.
For someone from her wealthy family, that was nothing, but for a hardworking, conscientious doctor, that meal was astronomical. It represented a whole night and day’s worth of hard-labored money earned through wielding a scalpel!
This situation was completely different from her father’s and brother’s, who casually brought in large sums of money as entrepreneurs.
"What time tomorrow?"
Moriya didn’t bother continuing with what he felt was a trivial conversation. He figured, without even needing to think about it, that this naïve girl must be worried about him having only the doctor’s salary on his mind.
"Tomorrow night at six. I’ll go ahead and secure a spot, and you can come after you finish work. Don’t let such a small thing affect your job!"
"Small thing?"
Ha!
She never knew that no matter how insignificant it seemed, if it involved her, it was a big deal. There was never such a thing as a ’small matter’ to her. Still, there was no point in explaining this to her, for this carefree girl never took her words to heart.
"Nicole, it’s good to know how to save money for a man, but thinking of a man as poor—that might not be such a good thing!"
After he spoke, he didn’t give the young girl a chance to respond or ask anything else. He simply hung up, unable to imagine what kind of heart-stopping question she might come up with next.
Better not to hear it, not to worry about it.
After hanging up, Lucas’s heart suddenly started thumping wildly, and his cheeks inexplicably began to heat up. Looking through the rearview mirror, Lucas even saw his own cheeks turning red!
Oh my goodness!
Isn’t it women who blush when in love?
Why, when it comes to them, is it him, a man, blushing?
Wait, what was he thinking? When had he started dating? He was just infatuated, and she likely just saw him as a close confidant, without any romantic intentions!
Thinking this, an unfamiliar bitterness suddenly welled up in Moriya’s heart.
Along with it came the fear of possibly losing her completely. Just the thought that the girl who had grown up shadowing him might someday marry someone else, lie beneath another man, and bear and raise children for another man, filled Moriya with a murderous rage.
Nicole stared dumbfounded at her phone, which had been disconnected and had shown a black screen for quite a while. The words Moriya had said echoed back and forth in her mind: knowing how to save money for a man is good, but thinking of a man as poor—that might not necessarily be a good thing!
No matter how she heard it, there was a sense of unfamiliarity mixed with reproach in his words, a reason she still hadn’t figured out.
Could it be she looked destitute?
Did she ever show Brother Sandy that she was poor?
The answer was obvious, she never did; on the contrary, she always thought Brother Sandy was great!
But oddly, what was it in Brother Sandy’s words that made her feel vaguely amorous?
Or was it because she recently wanted to find a husband, so her thoughts were becoming more lustful and everything she heard seemed lewd?
However... wait a minute...
Now she knows about saving money for men?
Now she knows about saving money for her own man?
So the issue was this, Brother Sandy clearly talked about saving money for men, but when it reached his ears, why did it mysteriously add the word "own" and automatically took that meaning?
Damn!
So she was such a lustful girl!
And could even add sly remarks to someone else’s original words!
Ahhh!
She’s beyond saving!
Luckily, it was just Brother Sandy on the phone. If he had witnessed it directly, wouldn’t it have been so embarrassing that she would’ve wished to hide in the Pacific Ocean!
Brother Sandy must think she’s a little minx!
At six the next morning, everyone in the dormitory was dressed early and had their makeup done, while she was still in her plain getup playing games.
"Nicole, you’re still playing games at this hour, when are you going to do something about that face!"
While watching in dismay, Melissa Tanner said, "If you don’t get ready soon, we’ll just leave and let your Brother Sandy treat just the three of us to dinner!"
"Psh, you think you can recognize Brother Sandy without me?"
While tidying up, Nicole Thompson replied nonchalantly, typing quickly on the keyboard, "Just give me five more minutes, and we can head out. I don’t need to get ready, you’ve all seen me looking half-asleep anyway, why bother fixing up?"
Nicole Thompson was a bit lazy, relying on her natural beauty so she barely wore makeup. Initially, when she started university, she didn’t wear makeup at all, until Melissa Tanner forced her to learn how to apply it. Now, she occasionally wore makeup at school.
The reason was simple. Melissa Tanner said, whether she wore makeup or not, she was the undisputed campus beauty. To let those competing for the title of campus beauty lose a bit more gracefully, she should wear makeup; otherwise, how many women would feel defeated by her bare face competing against their carefully made-up faces?
Nicole Thompson found this reasonable and followed the advice!
"That’s quite an excuse!"
Thinking this, Melissa Tanner felt something was amiss, "Hold on, you must wear makeup. Otherwise, us three unmade women, walking out, would be completely shown up by your bare face. I promise, I’ll never speak to you again!"
Bloody hell!
Being outshined by someone else’s face was normal, but to be outdone by someone makeup-free, what was the point of living then!
Under her roommates’ pressure, Nicole Thompson finally applied a very delicate makeup, so much so that when Moriya Sandy, who had never seen Nicole made up before, saw her, he was so astonished he almost lost his composure!
