Chapter 1201 What Bad Luck


    The nurse took the phone from Nick, put her phone number and name in it, and then handed it back.


    "Now you have my name and number. You can call me if you need help."


    Looking at his phone, Nick was about to say something, but I replied for him, "Rest assured. I''ll let


    him call you."


    "Thank you, I," the nurse said sweetly, overjoyed by I''s statement.


    "You''re wee. He''s very lucky to have your heart," I whispered in the girl''s ear. Pulling back, I


    shed the nurse a reassuring smile to show her that she would do everything in her power to unite the


    couple.


    "Thank you, I. I''ll treat you to a meal sometime," the nurse gushed with a beaming smile.


    "Oh, there''s no need. If you have time, you can go to Nick''s house and cook for him instead," I said,


    winking at the nurse. Stealing a nce at Nick, I looked back at the young girl and said, "We should


    go. Keep in touch."


    "Okay. I will," the nurse returned, nodding her head eagerly.


    The three got back to I''s car. When I started the engine and drove away, Sheryl, who was in back


    seat, broke the silence. "It''s so good to be young," she sighed.


    "Love has nothing to do with age. If you want it, you could have lots of suitors. But you only love


    Charles and you''ll never give another guy a second''s worth of attention," I teased.


    She thought Sheryl had made peace with Charles for it had been a while since they had caught him


    with Rachel alone at Lavender Bar.


    However, Sheryl remained silent. It was true that she wouldn''t fall in love with anyone else other than


    Charles. But she wasn''t sure whether if he felt the same way.


    Nick''s house wasn''t far from the hospital and it took I less than twenty minutes to drive there. Nick

    and his colleague had originally rented the condo, but the man now lived there alone.


    Back then, Nick had some money so he chose a fully furnished apartment in a well-equipped housing


    estate with lots of green space. When the three got out of the car and entered Nick''s condo, Sheryl and


    I nced around. It had three rooms and a living hall. To their surprise, the apartment was clean and


    tidy.


    This made the two women even more fond of their young friend.


    "Sheryl, I, my ce is a little small. Please make yourself at home and have a seat," the young man


    said as he scratched his head. Something suddenly urred to him. "Oh, what would you like to drink?


    I''ll get it for you."


    "Your home is lovely, Nick. I''ll have some water, thank you," I replied with an approving smile.


    "Did you check that nurse''s number? What''s her name?" Sheryl asked with interest.


    "Not yet," Nick replied honestly.


    "You should check it out. We don''t know her name yet. She''s pretty and she''s into you," I urged


    eagerly.


    "Oh, jeez. Why are you women so big on gossip? You two are already married and have children, but


    you act like teenage girls interested in someone else''s personal life," Nick snapped with a blush.


    "It has nothing to do with age. Go check it now," I said impatiently. She wouldn''t let the topic go.


    Resigned, Nick pulled out his cell phone, unlocked the screen and discovered that the nurse''s name


    was Cassie.


    A small smile slowly crept onto his face. ''It''s a good name, '' he thought to himself.


    "Cassie..." he murmured.


    "Cherish her. She''s a nice girl," I remarked. Although she liked Nick very much, he was like a little


    brother to her and she wanted to protect him. She was so happy for Nick that a beautiful girl was into


    him.


    Nick was tongue-tied. He didn''t know what to say. Considering his current situation, he had no ns of


    being in a rtionship, at least not until he got hispany back on the right track. Of course he


    wouldn''t tell this to them.


    Sheryl and I meant to leave Nick''s house as it was lunchtime.


    They intended to take Nick out for lunch. But since he was just released from the hospital today and


    was too weak to walk around, they decided against it.


    Nick proposed to cook lunch for them, but they declined his offer. After all, he was a patient and he


    needed rest.


    When the two stepped out of Nick''s house, I inquired in a coquettish tone, "What would you like to


    eat, Sher?"


    "Let''s go get Japanese food. Last time I went to a Japanese restaurant, but the food wasn''t authentic,"


    Sheryl replied. It crossed her mind that she hadn''t real Japanese cuisine in a very long time.


    "I see. I know a very popr ce that serves real Japanese food. Let''s go, I''ll take you there," I


    returned excitedly. She loved Japanese food.


    Back at Tarsan Corporation, Rachel was caught up in her work. She was very busy, but all her efforts


    were not in vain. Herpany had established business rtionship with several big enterprises in the


    city. Lance had beening by to see her frequently and had even promised to marry her. She would


    never agree to marry that old man, but she wasn''t stupid enough to outright turn down his offer. Lance


    was still useful to her, after all. She had to flirt with him, and meanwhile, fool around with another men.


    "Holley..." Rachel called out.


    "What''s up, Ms. Bai?" Holley asked, who was in Rachel''s office. She always brought Holley along with


    her when she went to meet with her lecherous clients. Holley had also done her part to please them.


    "Our hands have gotten quite full these days. What would you like for lunch? It''s my treat," Rachel


    proposed, as she lowered her head and looked at her expensive wristwatch. ''Our employees have


    already returned from their lunch breaks, but we haven''t eaten anything since breakfast, '' she thought.


    "Oh, I do feel tired. But I have no idea what to eat." After thinking for a while, Holley said with a smile,


    "Would you like Japanese food? I know one Japanese resturant and the food there is delicious."


    "Okay, let''s go. Since it''s my treat, we''ll go wherever you want," Rachel agreed with a smile. She was in


    high spirits, so she went along with Holley''s suggestion with no hesitation.


    "Please give me five minutes. I need to touch up my make-up," Holley said.


    "Okay."


    As it turned out, the Japanese restaurant that I had mentioned to Sheryl was the same one that


    Holley had rmended to Rachel. When Rachel and Holley arrived at the restaurant, Sheryl and I


    were still on their way.


    They took a seat and ordered food. As they began having a pleasant chitchat, Holley suddenly caught


    sight of Sheryl and I walking through the door.


    "Ms. Bai, look!" Holley said to Rachel under her breath as she pointed towards the entrance.


    "Shoot, they''re here. How would we run into them during lunchtime?" Rachel whined with a frown at the


    sight of Sheryl. Her good mood was instantly ruined by her enemy.


    "What bad luck! Do you remember how Sheryl bullied us at Tarsan Corporationst time? We finally


    have our chance. Do you want to get even with her?" When Holley finished speaking, a scheme began


    brewing in her mind.
