"Bullied?" Hearing that her good friend had been bullied, Vera was excited. Her voice raised as she spoke.

"That's right. It was Rojin. She purposely pulled Shehnaaz's hair and got Shehnaaz permed by hot water."

"Shehnaaz, how are you now?"

Hearing that she was hurt, Vera was worried and hurried to ask.

Shehnaaz gently replied, "Nothing serious. It's just a slight scald."

Vera heaved a sigh of relief. "Fortunately, it's only a slight scald. However..." Vera gritted and her eyes were filled with coldness. "I definitely won't let that bitch Rojin go."

"What do you want to do to her? She is now the assistant to the general manager,' Josie said coldly.

"Assistant to the general manager?" Shehnaaz, who didn't go to work at the company, didn't know about that. Thus, when Shehnaaz heard this, she was somewhat stunned.

"That's right, assistant to the general manager. It's said that Hadley directly transferred Rojin to her side."

"Looks like Hadley and Rojin want to work together to bully Shehnaaz." Vera frowned.

"Rojin is Izzy's friend. It is natural for Hadley to help her.'

To be honest, Shehnaaz wasn't surprised.

"Shehnaaz, Rojin might do more terrible things to you. You need to be careful." Josie looked at Shehnaaz with worry.

"I know." Facing her friend's worries, Shehnaaz smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry. I am not afraid even of Hadley, not to mention Rojin.'

Vera smiled and said, "That's right. The Shehnaaz I know is not afraid of evil people. Besides, The President husband of yours is also there to protect you. There's no need to be afraid of Hadley. It's not a big deal to deal with ten people like Hadley."

Shehnaaz and Josie were amused by Vera.

"So... forgot about those sick people. I will take you to eat delicious food."

As Vera spoke, the traffic light turned green. She immediately stepped on the accelerator. The black jeep rushed out, merged into the tide of cars, and headed towards the destination.

The university district of Benin City was the place where they had stayed for four years. They shared many beautiful memories there.

But....

It didn't seem to be a proper day to recall good memories.

The moment she saw Noah and Lilith in the restaurant, a sentence came into Shehnaaz's mind.

Enemies were bound to meet in this small world!

"What a misfortune! I shouldn't have come out today." Vera blamed her misfortune directly as usual.

Josie reacted quickly. She picked up her phone and took several photos.

"I got the headline for this month." Josie flipped through the photos happily.

Suddenly, a hand reached out and took away her phone.

Before Josie could react, she saw his fingers quickly moved on the screen.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Josie rushed over and wanted to snatch her phone back.

The man moved away so that Josie failed. She was about to fall on the ground.

"Josie!" Shehnaaz and Vera exclaimed at the same time.

Josie noticed herself getting closer to the ground and closed her eyes. Just as she thought that her cheek was going to touch the floor, her waist was held by someone. Josie was hugged into his arms.

Josie smelled a pleasant smell and slowly opened her eyes. She met a pair of cold eyes.

For a moment, she was stunned. Josie didn't react when the man helped her stand still. Only when she heard Vera's voice did she realized what had happened.

"Thank you for helping Josie."

Although she was thanking him, Vera said it with no expression.

The person who saved Josie was the man who took Josie's phone.

If it wasn't for him, Josie wouldn't have fallen. However, Vera was well educated.. If the man didn't help Josie in time, Josie would have fallen down with a swollen nose and a bruised cheek.

The man handed the phone to Josie and said, "It's my duty. Please forgive me if I Have offended you."

The man's voice was clear and cold, but it was pleasant to hear.

Josie lowered her head and looked at his hand holding the phone. His fingernails were neat and the joints were distinct, it was a very beautiful hand.

Josie gradually looked up at the man and
stopped at the man's face. He looked resolute and handsome.

The man nodded slightly at them and walked into the private room.

Josie turned her head and saw that he was closing the door. He looked at and met her gaze.

They looked at each other quietly until the door closed, blocking their sight.

"That man seems to be Lilith's bodyguard." Shehnaaz frowned and looked at the private room that was already closed.

"It seemed so." Vera looked at the private room and then turned to look at Josie. "Darling, how are you?"

Josie looked and smiled at them, "I'm fine."

"It's good that you're fine." Shehnaaz smiled and continued, "We are hungry and we need to eat. Don't let some people ruin it for us."

"Sure."

Vera took the lead to find a seat and then
called them, "Come over."

Shehnaaz smiled and walked over, while Josie turned around to look at the private room before she walked towards them.

"Noah, did you bring me here today with other intentions?" Lilith smiled and looked at the man in front of her.

Noah looked at her. Then, he put down his chopsticks and revealed a gentle smile, "Why do you ask so?"

"Because..." Lilith swept over the boiled fish with pickled cabbage and chilli on the table with disgust. "Because this is the place that you and Shehnaaz liked the most in the past. This dish was Shehnaaz's favorite."

Hearing this, Noah pretended to be surprised. "I didn't expect you to know so much about me and Shehnaaz?"

Lilith smiled, "I didn't want to know that. I was informed by others."

She took a sip of the wine and continued, "Back then, you and Shehnaaz were very famous in school. There would always be people collecting gossip about you. So..." She shrugged and said, "I was informed with that"

"You seem upset."

Noah leaned his elbow against the table, crossed his hands and placed them beside his mouth as he stared at her with affection.

Lilith smiled in a charming manner, "Because I'm jealous."
