My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1877

Claus frowned when he noticed that Gary had ordered a steak for Nicole.

He had been ordered to keep an eye out for Nicole, to prevent any of the other men from making any advances on her. 'This kid even ordered food for Nicole?'

Claus thought about it and looked at Nicole with a haughty expression. "Miss Riddle. Do you want the steak?"

Nicole shook her head. "No, just give me some pasta and some desserts after."

"Okay!' Claus said loudly, after which he repeated the order. "Two steaks, one pasta, three coffees, and two desserts. I'll be right back!"

Then, Claus turned around and left.

Ryder and Gary could not help but look at each other with their brows raised in suspicion after that interaction. "What's the matter with that guy?"

"Shouldn't he be giving us what we want after we've made our order? Why did he ask Nicole about it so specifically before removing one of our orders?"

"I'm a regular customer here, he knows what I want and what I don't want. You guys don't have to worry about it," Nicole said.

"Oh..." Ryder and Gary nodded and took their seats opposite of Nicole.

Gary noticed Nicole's tired complexion and asked, "I see you've been making rounds to the classes today. Are you tired?"

Nicole shot Gary a glance and sighed. "Yeah."

Having to organize these sorts of festivals was more tiring than delegating duties to others, and there were way too many people for Nicole to manage. Slowly but surely, she was beginning to regret her choice of running for president of the student council.

"I know you've been busy with Spencer, Samuel, and Lulu the day before. If you require additional manpower, you can let us know," Gary sincerely offered.

Ryder looked at Gary.

He had never seen his brother being so proactive in his life prior to this. 'I guess he is willing to make an exception for Nicole.'

Nicole nodded as she noted Gary's sincerity. "I know, but there's no need for that. After today, it'll be over for good."

Nicole desperately wanted to end this sort of student activity quickly so that she could take a long rest.

'Tomorrow's...a Saturday. I've got a flight at nine in the morning,' Nicole sighed as she recalled her schedule.

Ryder, on the other hand was watching, anticipating how things would pan out for Gary later upon seeing that he was excited to return to running errands for the student union.

'If it was not for him, I would not have agreed,' Ryder thought as he was glad he was able to lighten Nicole's burden.

It did not take long for the waiter to bring them their coffee and their lunch. Nicole took a sip of her coffee with a satisfied expression on her face.

Sure enough, it was only Jared's coffee that could temporarily provide her temporary ease, relieving her of all her worries and troubles, even if just for a moment.

"The coffee here is really good,' Ryder commented with a smile on his face.

"I've been frequenting this place ever since it opened, but I still don't know who the owner of this joint is. Before this, no one was allowed to set up a cafe directly facing Royal Creek."

Gary became embarrassed for a moment, whereupon he turned to his brother and said, "This cafe belongs to the Johnston Group."

If it was not for Jared who had informed Gary about it in person, he would have never have found out about it either.

Ryder was taken aback. "The Johnstons?"
