[1. Help Elma and persuade Nicole to take the charges back. (+1 Heart, +30 Ero points.)
2. Persuade Nicole to press charges against Mandy. (-30 Ero points.)]
Jack looked at the panel and thought for a bit, he decided to dismiss the panel.
He was with Nicole in this and wanted her to decide what she should do and he could have many chances in the future for getting with Elma.
"What do you wanna do?" Jack looked at Nicole, no matter what she chooses, he was gonna support her.
Nicole looked at Jack and then looked at Elma, she then sighed.
"What do you think I should do?" Nicole also took a glance at Mandy, "If they are your friends then I can be lenient."
"You don't have to be because of me, just do as you want," Jack said and held her hand tightly, giving her warmth and reassurance.
"Jack, I promise, that she won't be near her store in the future," Elma said as she moved a step forwards.
Although she was annoyed by her sister's troublesome nature, she was still her sister, and she can't bear to see her spend a night in Jail. And on top of that if she really spent the night in Jail then their father might be really angry.
She looked at Jack with hopeful eyes, she wanted help from him to solve this matter before it gets even worse.
This was something that could affect their family's reputation.
Jack looked at Elma and knew what she wanted him to do, he then looked at Nicole.
Although he would love for this matter to die down, however, if Mandy has insulted Nicole then she deserved some punishment.
Nicole on the other hand looked at Jack and Elma and could tell that both of them knew each other.
Although she wanted that bitch girl to suffer, however, if she was someone related to Jack then she could go lenient on her.
"Ok, I am not pressing charges against her," Nicole said, looking at Jack, she wanted him to know that it was only because of him that she is letting her go.
Jack nodded listening to her, and knew the reason behind her not pressing the charges, then he looked at Elma.
"Although we are not pressing charges, we still need the compensation," Jack said.
Elma nodded seriously and then looked at Nicole. "Thank you so much." She said with an apologetic expression.
"Don't thank me, thank him, if not for him, I would have pressed charges." She said and looked at Jack.
Elma nodded and then looked at Jack, she was grateful for him "Thanks, Jack."
Mandy on the other hand gritted her teeth as she looked at both Jack and Nicole.
After getting out of the police station, Elma looked at Mandy, "Go, get in the car!" She said in an angry tone.
Mandy sneered and then took an angry glance at Jack and Nicole, after that, she stepped into the car and closed the door with a bang.
Jack sighed looking at Mandy, 'She deserved to spend a night in Jail.' He thought and then held Nicole's arm while looking at Elma.
"We will hold our meeting someday later." He said, his eyes then glanced at her Ero Meter and he could see two of her hearts filled.
'Looks like she thinks I was the one responsible to save her sister.' He thought.
Elma looked at him for a few seconds and then nodded, "Ok." She said and move towards her car.
"Let's go," Nicole said and also dragged Jack to her car.
Soon enough both of them reached her shop.
Jack entered the familiar place and saw that there was a new worker, in place of him.
"You hired someone?" He looked at Nicole and then at the new worker.
It was a woman around fifty years old with a wrinkled face and a warm smile.
Jack nodded at her.
"Yes, she is very diligent," Nicole said and then pulled him to the back room after that she sat on the sofa and let out a relaxed sigh.
"She was such a bitch." Nicole said looking at Jack.
"Don't worry, she won't trouble you again," Jack said and leaned beside her with a smile on his face.
"Hmph!" Nicole pushed him away.
"What were you doing with that busty lady." Nicole narrowed her gaze.
Jack smiled looking at her jealous expression.
"She is my teacher, we were discussing about a project." He said with a mischievous smile.
"What kind of project?" Nicole asked with her brows raised.
"She was showing me some of her projects on fashion, you know she loves fashion and wanted me to see the dresses she has," Jack said.
Nicole raised her nose.
"So you were with her checking her dresses?" more jealousy appeared on her face.
"Are you jealous?" Jack moved his hand to her thighs.
"Hmph! Why would I be?" this time she didn't reject his hands.
"Ok, then give me a kiss." He said and leaned in towards her.
Nicole turned silent for a bit and then finally gave in, her body moved over him and she started kissing him, her lips intertwined with his.
As they were engrossed in their kiss, suddenly a knock resounded in the room.
They move apart and a frown appeared on Nicole's face.
"Yes, Bella?" She asked from inside, without opening the door.
"Madam, Sir is here and wants to meet you." When Nicole heard Bella's words her eyes widened.
She knew who Bella was referring to as sir.
"Hide quickly." She said to Jack and adjusted her disheveled clothes. She then took out the phone from her pocket and checked if her lipstick was not ruined by their kiss.
"What happened?" Jack asked, looking at the complicated expression on her face and the urgency she was in.
"It's my husband." She said whispering.
Jack furrowed his brows and turned silent, he didn't know what he should do. If he should face her husband or not, after all, he was intending to keep Nicole all for himself.
"Let me handle this, you stay here," Nicole said and then quickly moved outside the back room and to the shop.
As she stepped out, she spotted a middle-aged man with a heavy beard and a pot belly, he was her husband.
"Samson?" She looked at the man with her brows raised.
The middle-aged man looked at Nicole, there was anger visible on his face.
"Who was in with you?" He asked his gaze piercing.
Bella saw them and stood to the side, she knew that things were about to get out of hand so she moved towards the door and placed the closed sign.
Nicole listened to him and then looked at his angry expression, anger also appeared on her face.
"Why does it matter?" She knew that she has been exposed and hiding it any further would cause more problems.
She looked at Bella and knew that she couldn't tell it about her and Jack to Samson so quickly, so it was by pure chance that they got caught.
'He must have seen us entering the shop.' She thought.
"Why does it matter?!" Samson banged on the counter, his voice loud and demanding.
"I am your fucking husband!" He said clenching his teeth.
Nicole saw him getting angry and got furious herself.
"And?!" She also glared at Samson.
She knew that he was cheating on her and now he was here to ask about her personal life.
Although she knew that two wrongs don't make a right, however, Smason lost all right over her when he cheated on her.
"Get that fucker out, I will kill him!" His steps turned heavy and he started moving toward the back room while throwing away anything that came in his way.
"Stop! You don't have the right to barge in! This is my shop!" She moved in front of him.
"Your shop?! You slut! I gave you this shop! And now you are cheating on me with someone else! How can you be so Shameless?!"
Nicole turned furious at his words, her face turned red as she pushed him away from her face.
"Get out! Or I am calling the police!" She pointed at the door furiously.
"You bitch!" Samson's face turned red and he picked up a giant tin can filled up with fluid and moved towards Nicole to hit her.
Bella looked at the scene and her eyes widened, she moved and tried to stop Smason however she was far away from them.
Nicole looked at the giant can descending on her and gasped in a cold breath.
She could tell that if the can landed on her face then it wouldn't end up with some bandaid, if her luck was good then she would only go to the hospital.
"Ahh..." She closed her eyes and covered her face with her hands, expecting the impact.
However nothing hit her even after waiting for few second she moved her hand away and looked towards the can.
A hand has stopped the big tin can in its way, her gaze then moved toward Samson, his eyes were wide and he was looking the owner of the hand that stopped the can.
