"Yeah."
Nichole couldn’t say otherwise because Tina and Krystal had seen James come to look for her at school several times before.
Tina said with a tone of suspicion, "Then why didn’t you mention it when you left the dorm today? Usually, if your boyfriend is taking you to a party, you can't wait to let us know in advance."
"You didn’t tell me you were attending this event as well, right?" Nichole forced a smile and asked, "What brings you here anyway?"
"What? Only your boyfriend can attend such events, and my parents can’t?" Krystal retorted disdainfully, clearly implying that her family background was far superior to Nichole’s.
Nichole bit her lip. "That’s not what I meant…"
Krystal pressed on, "Perfect! Since you’ve been looking for a chance to introduce him to us, why not now? Everyone’s here. Introduce your boyfriend to us."
Tina chimed in, "Right, your boyfriend's a businessman too, right? He looks like a big shot. My parents might as well invest some money with him."
Nichole’s expression darkened. "But my boyfriend never lets me interfere with his business…"
"Are you kidding? Isn't he the one helping you with school and even planning to send you abroad to study? He takes you to every dinner party, so how could he not let you have a say?" Krystal said sarcastically. "You wouldn’t be refusing to introduce us, would you?"
"How could that be?" Nichole bit her lip and replied, "I’ll talk to him about it, but whether you meet my boyfriend or not is up to him."
"That’s more like it. Now go on. We’ll be waiting in the hall." Krystal and Tina exchanged a knowing look. They were not as easily fooled as before.
Nichole reluctantly returned to where James was. James asked, "What took you so long?"
"Exactly, our families were also invited, which proves our worth, too!" Krystal’s face showed disdain.
Nichole felt increasingly nervous, worried that their loud voices might reach James' ears. They still didn’t realize the man they were talking about was the well-known James Burke of Devonport!
Just then, the door opened again, and Sophie and Jenna walked in arm in arm, followed by Adler and Colby. As soon as these four entered, they immediately became the center of attention.
Krystal frowned even more. "How does she even deserve to be here?"
Tina looked at Nichole with furrowed brows, noticing Nichole's distressed face and trembling legs.
Sophie being here was the last thing Nichole needed!

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
