But she was unable to continue as she vomited once more. “Ugh!”
She quickly stood up, covered her mouth, and dashed to the restroom.
Jarrod, now smelling of the vomit, looked visibly upset.
A waiter approached and suggested, “Sir, we have facilities here where you can freshen up. There’s a room available for you to change.”
Jarrod, his expression unchanging, nodded in agreement. Once he received some clean clothes, he went to change, his mood clearly soured.
Doreen too decided to change her outfit.
Inside the restroom, Nicole managed to expel all the Shrimp and Grits she had eaten. Yet, the nausea lingered.
After exiting the stall, she rinsed her mouth and washed her face, trying to regain her composure.

When she looked in the mirror again, she saw Roscoe’s reflection.

Roscoe was casually leaning against the wall, hands in his pockets, seemingly waiting for her.
The room fell into a quiet, with neither of them breaking the silence.
Their eyes met in the mirror’s reflection.
Memories of their past life abroad surfaced in Nicole’s mind. Roscoe used to cook for her during weekends and even helped with childcare.
Despite his youth, Roscoe was surprisingly adept at looking after kids. Nicole had always been hesitant to handle the delicate child, but Roscoe naturally had a way with the little one. As a result, Austin grew fond of Roscoe.
Upon reflecting, Nicole acknowledged that her Life shouldn’t be that carefree. Her parents couldn’t find peace. They awaited the day when she would bring them justice.
Behind her, Roscoe’s voice broke the silence. “Nicole, I didn’t.”
Nicole’s heart raced upon hearing him. Just those few words conveyed a whole message to her.
After years of shared understanding, Roscoe knew Nicole grasped his meaning. He was clarifying that he wasn’t in any relationship. Even without her asking for it, he felt compelled to explain.
Stepping closer, Roscoe met Nicole’s gaze in the mirror and affirmed, “Nicole, I will always be faithful to you!”
His love burned passionately, and his promises held formidable strength.
Yet, Nicole didn’t dare to reciprocate his feelings. She was on a challenging path, fraught with obstacles. It wasn’t right to drag anyone else into her troubles.
With a cool demeanor, Nicole responded, “Roscoe, your actions are your own concern, not mine!”
After Nicole’s words, a heavy silence enveloped the room.
Smiling, Roscoe said, “Nicole, I can see that you care about me.”
