Chapter 1648
But Jared's voice was low and cold as he responded," There's nowhere in San Joto that I cannot enter."
Then, Max walked up to them and pushed the security's arm aside.
The security detail was stunned, but he would not back down without a fight. So, he retaliated and engaged Max in
a fisticuff. Both of their arms began clashing against each other's, with neither of them wanting to give in.
Seeing that, Lloyd's gaze darkened at once. 'That damn Jared sure is fast.'
Nicole had heard Jared's voice too, so she was shocked when she turned around and saw both Jared's and Max's
faces. "Why is he here?!"
Then, she remembered that Jared's men had been following her wherever she went, and hence, it was not
surprising for them to know her whereabouts.
'He's such a jealous man. He definitely came here on purpose because he knew I'm here to have a meal with
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLloyd,' she thought.
Nicole's expression soured as soon as she thought of that.
However, Lloyd was exceptionally generous. "Mr. Johnston is a VIP. Let him in."
After having heard Lloyd from afar, the security detail stepped aside.
Jared glanced at the security guards at the entrance. 'How dare they touch Max?! Seems like these two guards
aren't just security guards. This is definitely a very private restaurant.'
Jared refused to believe that Lloyd did not have any other intentions when he took Nicole to a place like this.
He walked to their table with pride and looked at Lloyd. "Mr. A-Lister Lloyd, why didn't you invite me when you asked
my fiancee out for a meal?"
It was the first time Lloyd was met with Jared's strong presence.
However, he did not seem to care.
Instead, he just smiled and replied, "Nicole is my old friend, and we go a long way back. Naturally, it would be really
out of place for someone else to join us."
He immediately labeled Jared as "someone else", which was very courageous of him.
Jared's eyes turned icy as he took a seat beside Nicole and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. "Ah, same here.
To us, you're someone else as well, Mr. Lloyd."
Lloyd's expression darkened. He was dying to push Jared's arm away from Nicole, but he still kept his cool. "Fair
enough. If you don't mind, you can order whatever you want, Mr. Johnston."
Jared purposely looked around and said, "It's alright, I'll just have whatever my fiancee is having."
It was painfully obvious that he was implying that there was nothing on that menu that was deserving of his
appetite. Furthermore, by using the word "fiancee", he was reminding Lloyd that Nicole belonged to him.
Hearing that, Lloyd sneered. "Suit yourself."
Jared's gaze darkened when he saw that Lloyd was unaffected by anything he had said. 'This guy has some tricks up
his sleeve. He's not trying to stand against me at all, as if he had already expected this to happen.'
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that point, all Jared wanted was to take Nicole away from there, so he looked at her. "You probably don't like this
place, do you?"
He knew Nicole very well, so he knew what she liked to eat. It was obvious that the taste of the food in that
restaurant was too intense.
She took a deep breath and said, "It's edible. You should eat some too."
Then, she stuffed a piece of steak that she had sliced into Jared's mouth to shut him up.
However, Lloyd had already heard what she said.
'It's edible...'
'That means she doesn't like the food here. It's just edible to her.'
Lloyd did not look too good at that point, and his expression was solemn. "It's okay. If you don't like the food here, I
can take you to other places next time."
"No, this is good enough already," Nicole replied, not wanting Lloyd to overthink.
Jared scoffed. "Mr. Lloyd, you're not an ordinary person. You can't just take any female friends out for a meal now,
can you?"
'Take Nicole out for another meal next time? Over my dead body!' Jared seethed.
