Sweet Sorrow novel Chapter 185

The day before the new year's celebration, Jacob and Nicole went back to A City by car.

Because the annual celebration would be held in A City.

As the invited guest, Nicole put on her dress and made up in advance. Sitting in the car, she waited nervously for the red carpet to walk.

"Are you such nervous?" Sitting next to Nicole, Jacob smiled.

"Yes." Nicole kept taking deep breaths, but she was short of breath as long as she saw the surging media and the flickering spotlights outside the window.

Seeing the nervous look on Nicole's face, Jacob couldn't help worrying about Nicole. He was afraid that she would sprain her ankle or faint when she walked up later.

"What about I go with you?" Jacob suggested.

"No way!" Nicole refused Jacob without hesitation. Noticing the change of expression on Jacob's face, she explained, "if you go with me, the media will surely make up stories. The company will also blame me. "

Jacob remained silent. He thought Nicole was a fool. No matter it was the media or Nicole's company, if they saw him appear with her, it would be of great help to her career.

But if she didn't want this stunt, he wouldn't do it.

Jacob kept silent for a moment and said, "do you remember what I taught you? How can you not be nervous in front of many people?"

Nicole thought for a while, nodded, and answered while recalling, "just take them as potatoes and radishes."

"Yes." Jacob laughed lightly, "I'll teach you one more move today."

"What is that?"

"When you look at the media later, just like wave to your old classmates with a smile. Don't think too highly of them, let alone be afraid. You should know that you will be the protagonist when you go up later. "

Nicole doubted, "really?"

"Of course. Do you believe me?"

"I believe you."

Nicole nodded heavily. The next moment, her car started and slowly stopped at the end of the red carpet. The staff opened the door.

"Go ahead."

"Okay."

Maybe it was because of Jacob's encouragement, Nicole was very calm after getting off the car. All she thought about was what he had said, so she forgot to be nervous.

During the moment when the host introducing her, she gracefully walked through the red carpet and gracefully walked to the host.

"Hello, Miss Nicole."

"Hello, Host."

Looking at Nicole in the spotlight, a warm smile appeared in Jacob's eyes. He turned his head and ordered the driver, "let's go."

"Yes, sir."

As a partner of Awake-Morning Agency, Jacob was also invited. However, when the organizers sent the invitation, they didn't expect that Jacob would come.

But to everyone's surprise, Jacob came.

He didn't walk the red carpet, but directly appeared at the backstage of the activity.

At that moment, people who had heard of Mr. Jacob of the Gu family and met him were all excited.

"Mr. Jacob, I didn't expect to see you here. Nice to meet you."

"Mr. Jacob! I thought I was wrong! "

Jacob echoed with a smile, polite and alienated. After a round of social engagements, his sight fell steadily on Nicole, who came down from the red carpet and also entered the backstage.

As a new Internet celebrity, although Nicole was a little famous, she was nothing compared to the big shots gathered here.

She greeted the Internet Celebrities of her company and then just stood aside quietly, waiting for the entrance.

"Nicole, there are so many people here. Let's go inside and have a seat." A girl in the same company, who was working on playing games, suggested to Nicole.

"Okay." Nicole also felt that it was too noisy, so she nodded.

But what she didn't see was that this game anchor, with her back to her, winked at a fat man not far away.

"That's it. No one is here."

"Okay."

The two entered an idle dressing room and sat down on the chairs.

Nicole usually didn't wear high heels. After standing for a while, she felt a little pain in her ankle, so she looked down at her own foot and moved her ankle in a small area.

"Nicole, did you come alone today?" The girl asked enthusiastically.

Nicole was stunned. Thinking of Jacob, she shook her head but nodded as well.

"Are you here alone or not?" The girl laughed.

"Yes." Nicole wasn't familiar with this girl, so she chose to keep it a secret about Jacob.

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "well..."

The door of the dressing room suddenly opened. Nicole subconsciously looked at the door and saw a fat man push the door open.

"Ah, it's so noisy outside." The man shouted and walked into the dressing room.

Nicole thought that the man came in to have a rest just like her, so she just smiled and nodded without saying anything.

After the three of them sat down for a while, the girl suddenly stood up and said to Nicole, "I'm going to check how it is going outside. Wait for me here."

"I'll go with you." Nicole stood up.

"Don't worry. Your feet hurt. Sit a little longer." The girl forced Nicole to sit down and walked out quickly.

Seeing the door of the dressing room closed again, Nicole heard the breath of a strange man next to her. Feeling that it was inappropriate for a man and a woman to stay in the room alone, she stood up and was about to leave.

Just as her fingers were about to touch the doorknob, another hand suddenly stretched out from one side and grabbed it.

"?" Puzzled, Nicole looked at the owner of the hand.

"You are Nicole, right?" The man smiled warmly. "Hello, I'm your fan, die-hard fan."

The man's smile made Nicole very uncomfortable, but the man's words made her unable to find anything wrong. She could only respond politely with a smile, "thank you for your attention."

"I like you very much. I really like you. " The man's eyes twinkled with desire.

Nicole stepped back to maintain her last grace, "thank you for your love. But I have to go out now. The activity is about to begin. "

The man's hand was firmly pressed on the doorknob, and he smiled mischievously. "It's still a long way to go. It will be boring to wait outside. I'm your die-hard fan, we can have a talk here."

"We can talk outside as well." At this time, Nicole had already felt scared.

"Don't do that. There are too many people talking to you outside. It won't be my turn." The man said as he reached out his free hand to grab Nicole.

Startled, Nicole slapped his hand away without hesitation.

"Show some respect!"

"Ha ha." Seeing Nicole's firm attitude, the man slid his hand from the doorknob and locked it. His eyes were as greedy as beasts. "Well, are you very superior? Can't you talk to me?"

Nicole didn't expect this to happen. Seeing the man locked, she warned him nervously and fearfully, "my friend will be back soon. You'd better not act rashly."

"your friend?" The man laughed, "I'm afraid your friend is too busy to care about you."

The man approached her step by step. The dressing room was not big, and Nicole had no way back. She leaned against the cold wall, gritted her teeth and threatened the man, "there are people outside. They will come as soon as I call. You'd better leave now, or you will be in big trouble!"

"You can have a try!" The man grabbed Nicole's arm and pressed it against the wall, "shout as loudly as you can. Let's see if anyone will come to you. Let me tell you, there is music playing outside. No one can hear you even if you scream. "

"No way!"

"No way? Why don't you give it a try? "

Nicole was so frightened that her legs became weak. She had never thought that she would meet such a disgusting person. She was so weak that she could not resist the fat man in front of her. At this moment, all her expectations were on the girl who went out to check the activity.

"Well, do you still count on your so-called friend?" The man's words shattered Nicole's last hope.

All of a sudden, Nicole realized why that girl who had no contact with her at ordinary times suddenly asked her to have a rest, why she suddenly left, why she did not come back after leaving for so long.

She widened her eyes in disbelief. "You... you are... So you are on the same side! "

"You just found it out?" The man smiled coldly, "but it's too late!"

"No No... " Nicole was frightened to cry.

The man twisted Nicole's arm, looked ferocious, and said in a disdainful tone, "don't pretend to be innocent in front of me. Such girl like you, I know you've slept with many bosses, okay?"
