"Oh, I see!" Jordan didn't know what to say, so he could only keep silent.
But at this moment, Brandon could see that Nicole was behaving strangely. A thought came to his mind, so he turned around and smiled at Fade and the others, saying, "I'll send Nicole out. You guys talk first."
Of course, Fade and Quin had noticed that something was amiss. However, since it was someone else's business, it was not appropriate for them to say anything, so they could only pretend that they knew nothing.
Meanwhile, Brandon and Nicole, who were walking out, turned a corner and arrived at the courtyard.
Brandon grabbed Nicole's arm. He looked a little unhappy as he asked, "Nicole, I know that you don't actually have to go. Why did you want to find an excuse to leave?"
Nicole snorted noncommittally. She looked at Brandon and said blandly, "Perhaps I do not actually need to leave, but does it make a difference?"
Her smug attitude was consistent with Brandon's speculation. The expression on his face got more gloomy, and he said, "Nicole, what do you mean? You said that you broke up with your ex-boyfriend and wanted to fall in love again, so you asked me to introduce someone to you. Now, I've introduce my classmate to you, so why are you behaving this way?"
"You're leaving halfway through a meeting!" Brandon said unhappily. "Even if you don't feel anything about Jordan, you should have some basic respect for him. If you leave like this, what will Jordan think of you? What kind of friend will I be to Jordan?"
Brandon's question caused Nicole to become dissatisfied. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said unhappily, "Brandon, how dare you blame me? Why don't you realize that it was all your fault?"
"My fault? What did I do wrong?" Brandon's voice was filled with anger. "Out of the kindness of my heart, I introduced you to my friend, but you're not giving me any face at all. Instead, you are blaming me. What on earth are you thinking?"
"You still don't know what you did wrong! Then I'll get straight to the point," Nicole said with a snort. "What did you tell me beforehand? You told me that your classmate is handsome and has a good job and that he'll become a general manager. But look at the reality!"
Their voices were not loud, and they deliberately lowered their voices. But Fade, who had sharp hearing, could heard their conversation clearly.
Hearing this, Fade finally understood. It seemed that Nicole didn't like Jordan, and did not think highly of him, so she didn't want to stay. Therefore, she found an excuse to leave early.
Although Fade didn't think it was nice, he couldn't say anything. He could only feign ignorance as he continued to lean against the sofa with his eyes closed.
At this moment, in the courtyard, Brandon's face sank when he heard Nicole's words. Then, his expression turned cold and he said, "What's wrong with that? I didn't lie. I'm sure Jordan looks above average, although he doesn't dress up..."
"Huh! He wears glasses and has a pair of dull, lifeless eyes. Is that above average? Don't disgust me," Nicole said unceremoniously.
"Mind your manner! That's my classmate, my buddy! Why are you insulting him?" Brandon was really angry. He glared at Nicole as he spoke.
Nicole snorted disdainfully and said, "Your buddy has nothing to do with me! He's just a loser! A common man from the working class. How dare you tell me that he's a goodlooking general manager? You were actually deceiving me."
Hearing this, Brandon's expression completely cooled down. He glared at Nicole and said in a cold voice, "Nicole, you finally said it. After saying so much, you simply think that my buddy is not worthy of you."
"Yeah, that's right. I just don't think he's a good catch! He's just a loser without good looks nor money. What kind of relationship is this kind of person expecting? It's ridiculous!" Nicole said with disdain all over her face.
