Chapter 170: In-line With The Deal.
Arissa watched Jocelyn eat as she tried to compose how to bring the topic up without being upsetting or hurtful.
She wants to talk about that nurse. She had tried to convince herself countless times about the nurse being legal but she could not help the suspicious feeling in her heart.
She did not even catch a glimpse of the nurse’s face when she came in as her mind was all occupied then but she did not miss the out-of-line aura she felt from the nurse.
Taking in a deep breath, she turned her head to Adele and back to Jocelyn. With a low breath that did not escape Jocelyn’s curious eyes as her friend stared up at her almost immediately, Arissa started, "What do you think of that nurse?"
Jocelyn first swallowed the meal in her mouth, "You haven’t eaten much," she pointed out as she dropped her cutleries while starting at Arissa with her hands on the table and her fist under her chin.
Arissa thinned her lips, "I can’t eat," she said absently mindedly staring down at her plate of stakes. Stakes are usually her favorite and she knew Jocelyn bought them to lighten the air between them but she couldn’t even take more than ten bites as her mind was occupied.
"Unfortunately, you have to eat for me to answer that," Jocelyn told her. Picking up her cutleries again, her eyes went to Arissa’s phone which had been vibrating for a while now. It was obvious her friend have no plan in answering whoever was texting but still, "Who could that be texting by this hour?" she asked curiously.
It was already 12:45 am and the messages needs to be checked. Who knows, it might be important.
Arissa snapped out of her thought before curiously picking up the phone beside her. Jocelyn frowned because, from Arissa’s expression, it was vivid her friend did not notice the incoming texts until she said it.
Arissa’s lips parted starting at the content of the texts and Jocleyn dropped her cutleries again, "Who’s that?" she asked supportively.
Arissa stared up at her friend, "I don’t know," she told her, "But I think they are from Nicklaus," she added.
