Seeing Collins having fun with her misfortune, she realized she had been abandoned by them all concerning this. Having no one to turn to, Arissa turned to Nicklaus for help, "Nick," she needed someone to speak up for her. Collins seems to have joined Jocelyn and Adele.
Nicklaus's long fingers trailed down Arissa's neck. His black eyes bored into her brown ones and he said, "I think they are right on this. You shouldn't bother yourself,"
Arissa frowned. She turned to him to help her and he decided to join them. Her curiosity was high at the moment. Whenever Adele and Jocelyn share a wink that way, it means a lot of things.
They have done it a couple of times in the past and the case has never been favorable with her at the end.
