Chapter 249 At that moment, Ada and Nichole had just arrived at the Regent Hotel and walked in.
"Here, take a seat. Ada led Nichole to a spot not far from where James was seated.
Sophie heard Ada's voice and then said to James beside her, "I'm going to the restroom. I'll be back in a bit." "Sure." James responded.
Sophie then got up and headed toward the restroom.

Since they entered, Nichole's gaze had been scanning the lobby for James. Sure enough, she quickly noticed James sitting in the center of the lobby, along with sbusiness tycoons.
A glint of light flashed through Nichole's eyes.
These days, no matter what she did, she couldn't get in touch with James, and even Colt started ignoring her calls. If Ada hadn't mentioned that this place often had VIPS like James showing up, she wouldn't have thought to try her luck here.
Ada said, "I'm going to the restroom. See if there's anything you'd like to eat." "Okay." Nichole couldn't wait for Ada to leave.
No sooner had Ada left than a man at the next table noticed Nichole.
"Isn't that Ms. Nichole?" He spoke up in confusion, drawing the attention of everyone at the next table to Nichole.
Nichole was wearing a dress James had gifted her before, dressed quite attractive. She had been accompanying James to various events, so those businessmen were very familiar with her.
James had always introduced her to important figures, and Nichole had chatted with the men at his dinner table before. Soon, everyone at the dinner recognized Nichole.
One of the men said, “Mr. Burke, you're quite the lucky man.” Everyone naturally assumed James had also invited Nichole.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJames frowned slightly, his gaze turning colder.
When Nichole's nwas mentioned, she walked over to James' side, saying, "I didn't expect to meet everyone here. Please, allowto toast to you all." Nichole picked up a wine glass from the table and was about to pour herself a drink when James coldly said, "Put the glass down." James' words left Nichole standing awkwardly in place. The teasing voices from before instantly ceased.
Nichole forced a smile and said, "James, it's just one drink." "If you want a drink, you can pay for your own toast." James' gaze never fell on Nichole: He did not even spare her a single glance.
Nichole bit her lip and said, "James, are you still mad at me?" Nicholen atme% N gently tugged at James' sleeve, but James' brow furrowed even deeper. No one knew what had happened, and no one dared to interject.
However, it seemed like Nichole, the mistress kept on the side, might have been kicked to the curb by James.
"Ms. Nichole, you know Mrs. Burke is also here today. It's indeed not m convenient for you to be here, so why don't we find another day to have drinks when we have time."
