Sweet Sorrow

Chapter 160 No. Too Awkward

"Okay, let's go back."

Regardless of her protests, Jacob took Nicole's hand and pulled her forward.

Nicole felt very sweet in her heart, and she didn't try to get rid of Jacob, just followed him obediently.

The new residence, which was not big, but had been arranged by Jacob. There were furniture and daily necessities, except for the kitchen stuff.

Because Jacob thought the kitchen here would be useless, so he did not ask people to prepare it. However, when Jacob heard that Nicole wanted to cook, he texted his subordinates and asked them to buy all the kitchen utensils the next day.

And he also asked to prepare a set of special equipment for making cakes.

The next day, Jacob got up and went to the new company. Nicole cleaned her room and checked the latest comments and interaction on her account. She replied them one by one. It was near noon when it was done. She finally realized that she was hungry when she heard the stomach rumbling.

"Ding Dong."

The doorbell rang.

"Who is it?" Nicole curiously looked out through the peep hole. She saw several people standing outside, led by the driver who drove yesterday.

"Miss Du, Mr. Jacob has bought something and asked me to bring them here."

Nicole opened the door and asked in surprise, "what's that?"

"Miss Du, they are all kitchenware."

The driver replied respectfully and arranged a group of people to carry the boxes into the kitchen of the house and install them.

Nicole had thought when to do so, Jacob had bought everything done in half a day.

When she was waiting, she received a call from Jacob.

Nicole picked it up and said happily.

"Have you had lunch?" Asked Jacob.

"Not yet." Nicole looked at the new kitchen and happily laughed, "they have brought the kitchen supplies. I'm watching them now."

"Is it done?" Jacob wasn't surprised by how efficient his men were.

Nicole shook her head, "no, but it will finish soon."

"Okay. let the driver to drive you to XYG Restaurant after you finish there."

"Okay, we'll be there soon."

Nicole answered in a light voice as she was in a good mood.

She asked the driver to check the equipment first. After entering the bedroom, she changed into a long dress, put down her long hair which had been worn in a bun, tidy it up and lifted her handbag.

"Miss Du, they have all been placed. Please check if there is anything improper. I'll let them change immediately."

Nicole shook her head with a smile, "no, I trust you. Jacob asked you to take me to XYG Restaurant. Let's go there now."

"Yes."

The driver sent Nicole to the destination. There was a waiter waiting at the door to receive her. He sent Nicole to the private room that Jacob had booked.

When Nicole entered the room, Jacob was watching a video. Jacob immediately turned off the video as soon as he saw her.

"What... What are you watching? " Nicole asked curiously.

Instead of answering her question, Jacob asked Nicole, "are you satisfied with the kitchen?"

Nicole sat down next to Jacob and answered honestly, "I came out in a hurry just now and I haven't had time to take a look at it, but I think it's good. They have carried a lot of things in it."

"If there is anything inappropriate, buy it again." Jacob put his phone aside and took a sip of his tea.

"Thank you."

Jacob looked up at Nicole, puzzled, "hmm?"

"Thank you for doing so much for me. It did not occur to me that you had already sent people to do it."

"Humph!" Jacob looked back at the tea cup and said indifferently, "if you really want to thank me, you should cook well for me."

However, she was in such a good mood that she couldn't get angry with Jacob any more.

"if you are not afraid of being poisoned to death by my food." Nicole asked deliberately.

The two kept bickering until a waiter served the food.

After lunch, Jacob was ready to go back to the company and asked the driver to send Nicole back.

"No, thanks. I'll walk home and do some shopping." Nicole refused him.

Jacob squinted. "To buy clothes?"

Nicole then realized that she had made a slip of the tongue. She faltered, "I Maybe Just want to walk around... "

If it was someone else, Jacob wouldn't be alerted.

But he knew Nicole well.

She suddenly wanted to go shopping alone, which was unreasonable. Especially when she just got the new kitchen utensils she liked, and she was in a new place.

"What happened?"

Nicole pretended to deny, "I am just going to take a walk.. It is not strange, is it? Aren't you going back to the company? Hurry up... " Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's okay. I'm not busy at work. Let's go shopping." Without a word, Jacob walked down the stairs and stood beside Nicole.

"No, no, No. I can do it myself. I..." As she looked into Jacob's eyes, Nicole couldn't insist anymore. She had to compromise and told him honestly, "well, I have a new job. My fans want me to livestream, and the company also said that I am sucked in fans. So I want to buy a new dress and wear it during the livestream..."

Seeing Jacob's face look more and more gloomy, Nicole immediately explained with fear, "although it's a live stream, it's not a big deal. I won't show up my face in the screen. I don't need to show my face

but only to make the cakes. It's just a live stream making cake."

After a moment of silence, Jacob said.

"All right."

"You... Agreed? " Nicole asked carefully.

"Yes, but," Jacob requested, "you only can stream when I am there."

Before Nicole was happy for a few seconds, her happiness was ruined. She pulled a long face and mumbled, "no, it's too awkward."

"It's not a discussion. That's it." Jacob said, not giving any chance to argue

"But..."

"I have to go back to the company. If you don't want to accept my plan, then you don't do it anymore." Jacob said and ran upstairs.

Nicole and the driver were left behind, one sad and the other confused.

--

After finishing the company's affairs, Jacob logged on his phone account and found the Facebook where Nicole made cake. It was posted in the latest section, with a "like" and a few words posted.

After reading the message for a few seconds, an idea occurred to Jacob. He rang the secretary.

"Does this livestream have the function of reward?"

"Yes, sir." The assistant was a little confused why his boss asked this question all of a sudden.

Jacob nodded his head and continued, "now that I recharge it, I can give a reward when I watch the live streaming. Is it right?"

"Yes." the assistant was confused, "Mr. Jacob, are you going to give a reward to someone?"

"Yes."

The assistant was more and more confused, but she didn't dare to ask because he was her boss.

After operating for a while, Jacob stopped his fingers, looked up at his assistant and said, "isn't it too less to charge 100 thousand for one time?"

The assistant opened her mouth wide, but then realized that she had made a gaffe. She closed her mouth and asked, "Mr. Jacob, which anchor do you want to reward?"

Although you are rich, it is too extravagant for you to use nearly one and a half year salary for one reward!

The assistant broke into tears in her heart. It turned out those anchors were treated the same way as it was said by the rich guys!
