Nicole smiled and took Miles' arm, but she did not answer that question.
However, to others, her silence was an admission.
Miles' hand was on her shoulder, so this was enough t o explain everything.
No man would casually put his hand on a woman’s shoulder.
The private room fell silent.
Hearing this, Mikayla's face turned uglier. She suddenly raised her hand and pointed at Nicole, who was next to Miles. 2
Her voice was sharp, sarcastic, and mean.
"So, she’s the rich woman you've gotten close to?"
The moment such unpleasant words were spoken, the women present who were leaping with excitement instantly froze. It was too late to stop Melanie.
Melanie had a bad feeling that Miles would not let her go easily. The hidden anger in his eyes had not been extinguished from the moment he saw her.
She immediately decided to draw a clear line with him by demeaning his self-esteem.
"Are you so shameless to degrade yourself like that?"
The first thing the crowd looked at was Nicole's expression.
Nicole quietly kept her smile. She just needed to be a good prop. Miles would take care of the rest.
"Mel, how can you say that about Ms. Stanton’s friend?”
A woman next to Melanie got anxious and carefully looked at Nicole’s face. She tugged on Melanie's clothes to remind her that she should look at who was next to the man she wanted to insult.
Not to mention, that person was Nicole Stanton!
Melanie suddenly realized this and instantly panicked. She was so busy thinking of how to humiliate Miles that she almost forgot Nicole's status.
Just as her face turned pale and she tried to say something to redeem herself, Miles sneered.
"I’m shameless? I'm much better than you, alright?"
The surrounding people watched as the situation gradually became tense. They were confused about the bitter feud between Miles and Melanie.
Melanie opened her mouth and felt her scalp tingle.
If Miles and Nicole were together, was he not afraid to let Nicole know about their past?
Her eyes flickered slightly. Just as she was about to say something, Miles did not give her this opportunity.
