“Tina, Krystal, you two are my best friends at this university. I know I made a mistake about whathappened last time, so I specifically invited you out to eat to ask for your forgiveness. I really didn’tmean what I said. I’m sorry.”
Nichole was clearly not aware of Sophie’s presence. Her attention was fully focused on Krystal andTina.
Sophie sat in the corner, quietly listening to Nichole’s apologies.
“My boyfriend bought me a house right across from the campus. It’s boring living alone. Maybe youguys could move in, too? You are my best friends, after all.”
Nichole held both of their hands, her face full of sincere affection.
Sophie almost laughed out loud hearing this. So, James was the boyfriend Nichole was talking about.

Propping her chin with her hand, Sophie watched the scene with interest.
“What are you even looking at?” Harold was quite displeased that Sophie’s attention was elsewhere.
Sophie made a shushing gesture and directed Harold’s attention toward Nichole. Only then did Haroldnotice Nichole. He cursed under his breath, about to pull Sophie away, but Sophie held him back,whispering, “Hold on, the show is just getting started.”
Colby’s strategic move worked wonders, and she was eager to see how this drama unfolded.
