Chapter 41
“Could she be a heroine from a hidden world like in those action movies?” “Nicole is so much more skillful than those heroines.”
Once the conversation was heated, their voice became louder and louder that others in the class were looking at them. Nicole
frowned a little. “Fighting isn’t something to be proud of. Let’s keep it low.” Bradley and Lulu realized that they were a little too
loud. Just as Nicole said, fighting was not a thing to be proud of. If a teacher overheard it, they would be in trouble. The both of
them nodded and pretended to zip their mouths, signaling that they would not talk about it anymore.
When Nicole saw that the two were so sensible, her expression relaxed a little. Just as she was about to speak, a loud voice
came from outside. Then, Austin suddenly stormed into the class.
The whole class was terrified of his ferocious look.
Once Austin saw Nicole, he walked over while yelling. “Boss! I heard that the hooligans from next door, Cain disturbed you
yesterday after school. Why didn’t you tell us? We could’ve settled him for you!”
All the students surrounding them heard Austin wanted to beat up Cain for Nicole. Their eyes widened as they stared at both of
them in disbelief.
They did not expect Austin to be serious about recognizing Nicole as his boss. Someone had disturbed Nicole, and he actually
wanted to do something about it. Everyone thought Nicole would agree since no one would deny Austin’s request. Unexpectedly,
Nicole replied coldly, “It’s fine. I can settle this on my own.” She rejected Austin once again! All eyes were on Austin. Nicole had
rejected Austin twice. Would he walk away like last time or retaliate to maintain his reputation?
Gary was also looking at them.
In the end, Austin acted as if nothing had happened and continued pressing on, “No way, You’re my boss, yet Cain had the guts
to disturb you. He has disrespected me! 1, Austin, would never let my boss be bullied. I’ll bring my men and teach him a lesson
now!”
The whole class was stunned. They established a newer idea of Nicole’s place in Austin’s mind.
Seeing how Austin was talking to himself, Nicole did not bother to pay attention to him. Austin had already turned to his boys and
summoned them, “Someone bullied our boss. We should show them who’s the real boss!”
His lackeys behind him echoed him loudly, “Yeah! Show them who’s the real boss!”
Austin nodded in satisfaction and led his lackeys out of the class aggressively. The others let out a sigh of relief as soon as
Austin left. However, Nicole did not bother to care about Austin. Her head was looking down while reading the book she had not
finished the day before. She did not notice Gary was staring at her the whole time. The bell rang, and Ms. Emerson entered the
class. She looked through the whole class to see if anyone was absent. Then, she nodded happily and started the class.Ten
minutes before recess, she glanced at her watch and tapped the podium..
“There’s going to be a Maths Olympiad soon. This time around, the district highly regards this competition. The principal made it
an obligation for each class to send two representatives. Gary is one of them. There’s one slot left. Any takers?” Gary leaned
back on his chair lazily.
Although he hated studying, he was famous for being a maths genius. He had been winning competitions both nationally and
internationally since he was young
