After the Divorce, CEO Realizes He’s the Stand-In Lover

Chapter 250

Chapter 250 Friends

Niki’s face became a bit darker the moment she saw Natalie.

Of course, Natalie also saw Niki’s gaze, but she didn’t bite her teeth like Niki did, and she didn’t change her expression.

She even casually picked up the wine glass with her fair and slender fingers and toasted Niki in the air.

Her smile, under the illumination of a black dress and lights, appeared both charming

and frivolous.

Niki’s face turned even darker.

What did Natalie mean?

Did Natalie show this eye to provoke her?

Niki burst into anger. How dared Natalie!? How dared she provoke Niki within these few

days?

She gritted her teeth and was about to lose her temper. But on second thought, she

realized that it was a public occasion.

Moreover, Lara was still standing by her, so she must maintain her usual tender image.

She didn’t want Lara to find her usual tenderness was all a façade.

So, Niki forced herself to turn her gaze away from Natalie.

Natalie held a glass of wine and

OW Niki’s face even darker. Her expression seemed to

tell Natalie that she was going to kill Natalie.

Seeing Niki like this, Natalie blinked her eyes showing an innocent expression.

Natalie thought her expression when she just greeted Niki was nice. How could Niki show such an expression to her?

Natalie felt a bit confused.

Natalie felt that when Niki saw her at the moment, Niki was even unwilling to pretend to

be friendly to her… It seemed that Niki really hated her guts.

Anyway, she also disliked Niki.

As long as Niki didn’t play tricks on her or interfere with her, she could completely treat

Niki as a normal stranger.

Therefore, Natalie glanced at Niki’s hateful expression and then happily drank her wine.

again.

Lara followed Niki’s gaze and also saw Natalie.

Unlike Niki, Lara just raised her eyebrows without other strange expressions.

After all, she had no feud with Natalie, and the only connection between she and Natalie

was that they both knew Niki…

For Niki’s previous statement that Natalie stole Julian from Niki and tried every means

and trick to kill someone… she didn’t entirely believe it.

Lara came from a wealthy family; therefore, she had never struggled for life since childhood, and never experienced the dark side of the world. Even so, she had basic judgment skills, and she knew that a mere verbal statement was no guarantee.

So she didn’t take Niki’s words seriously.

But…

Lara glanced up and down at Natalie with a profound look.

But as the saying goes, there is no fire without smoke. There must be a reason why Niki would say such things to her.

If Natalie hadn’t done anything wrong, how could Niki make all these things up to her?

Who knows?

Lara only looked at Natalie in a glance and then turned her gaze back. As she was about to move forward, she found that Niki was still standing motionless with a distracted

look.

“Miss Linch…?”

Lara was puzzled so she carefully observed Niki and found that Niki still occasionally

lifted her eyes to look at Natalie, with a somewhat distracted expression.

“Miss Linch… “She raised her arm and waved it in front of Niki, and it was then that Niki

regained her composure.

“What’s the matter?” Niki looked back and her eyes showed she was a bit confused.

Lara frowned and said calmnly “it’s nothing, I just find you are in a trance. So, I’m just

reminding you.”

“Really? Am I in a trance?” Niki’s expression was tinged with panic, and she didn’t even Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

realize that she was distracted.

Whenever encountering Natalie, Niki felt her emotions would lose control and could be

easily affected by Natalie.

“Yeah… I called you just now but you didn’t even hear me! ” Lara nodded in affirmation.

Niki smiled sheepishly and said “sorry, I didn’t realize it then.”

She adjusted her expression and quickly pulled Lara forward. “I think there’s a person in

charge of a pharmaceutical company in the middle, and I’m quite interested. Let’s take a

look.”

Lara nodded her head.

She knew that Niki’s expression showed Niki didn’t tell her real idea, but she didn’t ask

further.

“Okay.”

Everyone had their own plans and faced their own difficulties, and she had no right to dig.

these things out.

Lara was pulled to the middle of the exhibition by Niki in this way.

There were many booths of the exhibition, but the central one was reserved for the most

influential pharmaceutical companies at the moment.

So when they walked to the front door, there were already many people talking around,

forming a large circle.

Niki took Lara’s arm and wanted to squeeze inside to see what attractive and valuable

medicine was inside.

She pulled twice, but the person behind did not move.

Niki was puzzled and turned to look at Lara. “What’s the matter?”

Was it because the rich girl didn’t want Niki to hold her wrist?

Niki instinctively released Lara’s hand, apologizing repeatedly, “I’m sorry, I’ll just release your hand.”

“Shall we take a look at the medicine inside? There are so many people around. There

must be good medicine.”

Although she was not very knowledgeable about medicine, knowing more about it would

be somewhat useful for her if she married Julian and took over the Graham family’s

business in the future.

But Lara frowned.

Niki noticed her expression and felt her resistance. “Miss Turner… are you alright?”

“I won’t go in.” Lara shook her head.

Lara’s expression made Niki panic for a moment. Niki wondered did she make Lara feel

uncomfortable?

At the moment Lara was her last straw.

If she held onto Lara tightly, with Lara’s family’s power in New York, she could do

whatever she wanted with Lara’s help in Los Angeles and even in New York.

So at this moment, she must do all she could to flatter Lara, and made sure Lara was

never even slightly displeased with her.

“It’s nothing.” Lara took a few steps back. “There are too many people in the crowd

coming from all walks of life, and the air doesn’t smell good. So, I don’t want to squeeze

Niki saw a hint of disgust in her eyes.

“Okay, then I won’t go either. “Niki decisively expressed her attitude that she would be

with Lara.

“Don’t worry about me and just go. I’ll wait for you outside. “Lara waved her hand.

She was completely forced by her father to take part in this exhibition and she was not

interested in medicine at all.

And she totally had no idea about the medical research on various fields here at all.

So in the eyes of Lara, this exhibition that countless research institutes flocked to was

simply extremely boring.

“No, I won’t go either if you don’t go. How can I leave you alone outside? “Niki’s face lit

up with a smile.

“Never mind. I just came with Julian to find divine doctor of the Spears family. This

medicine is nothing much to me.”

“Really? “Lara was a bit incredulous.

She noticed that Niki’s expression and gaze just seconds ago shoed she wanted to see

Moreover, as Julian’s girlfriend, Niki was supposed to have some knowledge about

medicine.

There shouldn’t be person in medical field in the world who wouldn’t take a glance at

such advanced medical technology.

“I mean it! Let’s go away.”

“The pastry you said you liked to eat last time when you bought the car, I just saw it on

the table over there. I’ll take you to taste it.”

Lara was once again pulled away by Niki.

She silently followed behind Niki, with a touch floating in her heart… was this the

so-called friend?

She hadn’t had any friends since she was born.
