Chapter 780
My Wife is a Hacker
The party was still ongoing. Nicole went to find Lulu and June while Jared was meeting people. The Barrera family and the Wallace family were also considered prominent families, so they also attended the party.
Nicole smiled when seeing June dressed so beautifully today. âNice dress.â
June blushed. âThank you. If it werenât for you, I wouldnât be able to attend.â It was Nicole who gave her the invitation card. Not even her family members got invited. So her stepmother and younger sister did not come and were jealous of her.
âDonât mention it. Mr. Johnston Sr. gave me extra invitation cards.â Nicole pretended to be nonchalant.
She then glanced in a direction. âSamuel and Spencer are hanging around over there. Why are you standing here and not going over to talk to them?â
June understood what Nicole meant, but she was instantly smitten. âItâs so awkward.â
Nicole smiled. âWhatâs so awkward about it? If you are going, someone else will.â
In hindsight, Lulu suddenly thought of something. âLulu, you like Nicoleâs brother, donât you?â
âShhh. Be quiet.â June was shy and quickly covered Luluâs mouth. âPeople might hear it.â
Lulu nodded and took Juneâs hand off her mouth. âIâm sorry. I was surprised. Which of them-Samuel or Spencer?â
She looked at June eagerly, as if she had something on her mind. Nicole clearly sensed something was wrong.
June did not feel it because she herself was nervous. âItâs Samuel,â she said in a shy, low voice. She had had a crush on Samuel for a long time, but she never had the chance to talk to Samuel.
âOh, itâs Samuel.â Lulu was suddenly relieved.
Nicole was the best at observing people, and by this time, she had sensed something. âLulu, since June is nervous, why donât you accompany her to find my brothers?â
âHuh?â Lulu immediately tensed up.
âDonât you see how many people covet Samuel and Spencer? If you donât go over to them now, someone else is going to take your place.â
The eyes of the two of them immediately lit up upon hearing that.
âYouâre right. Iâll go over now.â Lulu was a simplistic girl. She took June along, unaware that Nicole had not followed Nicole watched the two walk toward Samuel and Spencer and could not help but chuckle. âI wish you success.â
Just as she was saying this, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She looked back and saw Lloyd.
Seeing Lloydâs nervous look, she frowned. âYou have something to say?â
Nicoleâs impassive reaction instantly shattered his courage. âN-No, nothing.â
Nachelle saw that word choked in her sonâs throat, and she quickly came to the rescue.
âHe indeed has something to talk to you about. Could we have a moment with you in private?â
Nicole had probably guessed something judging by the expectant look in their eyes.
But with so many people around, her every move would be watched. After thinking about it for a moment, she refused. âI donât want to give a wrong impression to others. Why donât we just talk right here?â
Nicoleâs voice was gentle and graceful, but it still attracted a lot of attention.
Seeing Lloyd and Nachelle, people immediately recalled the moment at the Holder familyâs party, where Lloyd expressed his feelings to Nicole and was rejected. They were all surprised to see him come to the Johnston familyâs party and ask to talk to Nicole in private, with no regard for Jaredâs feelings.
