Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 78

"Is that okay?" Though she had received the high praise from the artist, Nicole was still not confident enough. She bit her lips in seeking the assistant's advice.

The assistant, followed Jacob, had been to many celebrities and had seen a lot of beautiful women. But when he saw Nicole, he was still surprised by her beauty.

Actually, Nicole was not a breathtaking beauty. But she had totally changed. She would not be defeated even when she was with those models and super stars.

In particular, Nicole was more natural and pure than those people, which made her more fascinating.

"…… Not bad. "

The assistant repeated Jacob's name in his mind several times, and then looked away to remind himself that she was the woman of his boss.

Hearing the assistant's confirmation, Nicole finally breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled sweetly at the assistant, "that's good, thank you very much today."

The assistant avoided Nicole's eyes, raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "It's about the time. Sit down for a while. I will ask the driver to pick you up later."

"Okay."

After the assistant left with the artist, Nicole turned to look at herself in the mirror.

The woman in the mirror was really much more beautiful than she was before.

The beautiful dress and jewelry, and the exquisite make-up and hairstyle made her suddenly feel that she was shining.

Nicole looked at herself in the mirror. She remembered that Consuela once told her that Jacob did take Kayla to the party. She couldn't help but wonder if Kayla also dressed like that at that time?

Would she be worse than Kayla.

Did Kayla often dress like this to attend various parties. Kayla was a star. She looked so beautiful on TV, so was the real person.

'I could never be like her as I just dress up once like now.'

Nicole had never attended this kind of event and dressed up like this before, So she never thought anything about it. However, as one of them now, she had to compare herself with other women and thought herself inferior to others.

And her sense of inferiority was so strong that the joy of becoming beautiful was washed away.

Someone was knocking at the door.

Nicole opened the door. A man in a black suit lowered his head and said respectfully, "Miss Du, Mr. Jacob sent me to pick you up."

"Okay." Nicole tried to cheer herself up, smiled and followed the driver downstairs.

An hour later, the car stopped in front of a villa.

The assistant had already been waiting at the side to open the car door for Nicole. He gentlemanly extended his arm and helped her out of the car.

"Where is Jacob?" Nicole asked confusedly.

The assistant smiled, "Mr. Jacob is already in the room. Miss. Du, let me show you the way."

Seeing a flash of surprise in the assistant's eyes, Nicole thought she had said something wrong. She didn't dare to ask any more questions, so she nodded and followed the assistant.

The villa was built at the middle of the mountain. It was surrounded by cloud and mist, like a fairyland.

After about seven or eight minutes of walk, the assistant opened the door and bowed to show her the way.

"Thank you." Nicole nodded and went in.

The scenery outside was as beautiful as a picture scroll. Inside the room, the sound of whistling was curling. The air was filled with the faint sandalwood, which made people feel relaxed unconsciously.

Nicole took a deep breath and looked around. Then she saw Jacob sitting on a bench.

Holding a cup of tea in his hand, with a faint smile on his lips, Jacob was listening to someone who was talking to him. He seemed to have felt her sight, so he raised his head and looked at her.

Nicole couldn't help but get nervous. She gritted her teeth and walked towards Jacob step by step in front of him.

When she was a few meters away from Jacob, the one who was talking also stopped and looked around curiously.

At that moment, Nicole was extremely embarrassed. She clenched her handbag, stiff like a human shaped bamboo.

"Come here."

She was so embarrassed at that time. Fortunately, Jacob made a sound in time to save her from embarrassment.

Under the surprised or excited gaze of others, Nicole walked over and held the hand of Jacob, then she sat down beside him.

"Mr. Jacob, who is this beauty?" A foreigner man with blond hair and blue eyes stared at Nicole and asked in broken Chinese.

Jacob pinched her hand and said nothing.

Several people here who had brought a female companion surely knew that Nicole was the female companion of Jacob.

But according to Mr. Jacob, she was nothing but a toy.

No one took Nicole seriously and they started to talk again happily. Only Nicole knew how hard Jacob pulled on their hands.

After a while, a man in a long dress appeared with a smile.

"Gentlemen, the table is set up. How many laps should we make?"

"Of course we need to play a few laps. I've heard that Jacob is an outstanding gambler. We'd like to have a look today."

Jacob smiled and said, "that's ridiculous."

"Then..."

"Then I will play with the elder here."

"Okay! Let's go! "

Nicole looked at Jacob in surprise. She didn't know that he played cards.

But when she thought about it again, she realized that Jacob had become well-known street boss many years ago. It was no wonder that he was good at playing cards.

They got up and changed their seats. Nicole also followed Jacob and stood next to him.

Except Nicole, all the men and women present showed great enthusiasm, and everyone's face was full of expectations and expectations.

The person who looked at the cards could also place a bet and bet the winner. It was also known as fishing.

Nicole didn't understand the cards. She could only rely on their tone and the result to make sure that Jacob would win big every time.

Some of other female companion even wanted to bet on Jacob as laughing and squeezing themselves to Jacob's side, while Nicole was pushed out of the crowd.

Perhaps intentionally, Nicole was hit hard. She had to step back a few steps and twisted her ankle.

Nicole dazed for a few seconds and did not push back again. She moved her leg and felt the sting from her wrist. She found the waiter standing by and asked, "Hello, where is the bathroom?"

"Go straight ahead and turn left."

"Okay, thank you."

Bearing the pain, Nicole stood still and walked towards the bathroom as if nothing had happened.

The foreigner had been staring at her since she appeared. With a triumphant smile, he followed her.
