Chapter 517
Nicole knew right away that the reason Jacob was calling had to do with the news.
The setup was obvious to her.
As long as Jacob explained things calmly, it wouldn't be a problem.
The moment she picked up the phone and before she could say anything, Jacob's voice came through with a hint of anxiety. "Where are you right now, honey?"
"I'm at Lyra's."
"So, you're just having tea and chatting?"
His probing words made Nicole organize her thoughts and go along with him. "Are you coming to pick me up?"
"Yes, yes. Once I'm done with work, I'll come get you right away."
He hung up immediately. Lyra, who was nearby, had heard everything clearly. Her mouth was slightly open, and her eyes were full of surprise. "Does he not know what I do for a living?"
Nicole shrugged. "Who knows?"
Jacob did know about Lyra's background, yet he still thought he could keep the news from spreading even after learning that she was with Lyra.
Nicole didn't quite understand why he was trying to do this.
