She often accompanied James to various social gatherings, but they were trivial compared to the Aldridge family's dinner. The Aldridge family held a status in Devonport that matched that of James. Nichole glanced at James sitting beside her, feeling nervous and excited about attending such an event with him. "James, are you sure it's okay not to have Sophie accompany you?" Nichole whispered, her voice tinged with uncertainty. Mentioning Sophie made James frown, his impatience growing. It wasn't that he hadn't called Sophie. She just didn't even answer his calls today. "You don't want to come?" "Of course not!" Nichole's cheeks flushed as she said. “I'm just worried about people gossiping about our relationship." James didn't respond. He actually hoped that more rumors about him would circulate. He even wanted to see Sophie's reaction when she heard them.
Soon after, James and Nichole arrived at the venue. The crowd was s p rs e, and James began introducing Nichole to acquaintances, offering toasts. Shortly after, the door opened again..
Two couples entered, followed by Tina and Krystal, hand in hand. It was their first tattending such a grand event, and both families were thrilled to have received an invitation.

As soon as Tina and Krystal entered, Nichole noticed them almost instantly. Her face turned pale, unable to comprehend how they could be at such an important event.
Noticing Nichole's change in complexion, James frowned and asked, "Are you feeling alright? Should I have Colt take you home?" Just as Nichole was about to speak, she felt that Tina and Krystal nearby had recognized her and quickly covered her face, saying, "I need to go to the restroom. I'll be right back." Saying this, Nichole hurriedly made her way to the corridor leading to the restrooms.
Tina and Krystal found it odd. Why was Nichole avoiding them? "Let's go check her out." Tina pulled Krystal along toward the restroom corridor, and as they approached the restroom entrance, they saw Nichole, whose face bore an awkward expression. Yet, she feigned surprise and asked, "What are you two doing here?" Krystal responded, "I was about to ask you the same. Why did you run when you saw us?" Tina frowned and added, "Was that your boyfriend you were standing with just now?"
