Chapter 1067
"What can I say? I'm an expert in that regard."
The duo continued with the topic at hand throughout dinner.
After the meal, Jared brought Nicole into the living room, where she leaned her head against Jared's shoulder,
catching whiff after whiff of his scent.
"It's really comfortable, you know, leaning on you."
"Comfortable? Is that all you have to say about it?"
Jared turned his head sideways and gazed into her face which was nothing short of angelic to him.
"Okay, there is also the air of positivity around you, and I like that." Jared smiled with satisfaction.
"You went to Martin's factory today.How are things going over there?"
"The first batch of The Beacon was successfully mass - produced today, and it looks really good," she explained.
"When I was there, there was a minor issue with the equipment.It just wasn't working properly.I saw Martin, and he
was a nervous wreck.He wasn't in the mood to talk to me at all.All he could think about was the malfunction, and
how to get it fixed."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"How did it work out?" Jared looked at her with a brow raised.
“I got it fixed in less than a minute.I was there for quite a while, watching a bunch of people standing around the
hardware, not knowing what to do,"
Nicole complained, knowing that the engineers were incompetent.
"I didn't know that you are capable of fixing mechanical parts,"Jared said, noticing something special about Nicole.
"I don't think so, but I know a little," she replied.
"Martin was on the verge of firing those engineers because of that."
"Firing them? I mean, it is understandable that they wouldn't know everything there is to know, but that does not
warrant a firing now, does it?"
Jared said, knowing that technical staffs in the company could not possibly be proficient in everything, and that only
a group of them working together can outperform an intellectual.
"Ditto," she replied.
"That was why I had to convince him to keep them around.Martin is a real workaholic."
"Isn't that good? If you work with someone like that, you wouldn't have to worry about him slacking off or
something."
"That is true."
Out of the blue, Jared held Nicole in his arms and looked at her with a loving gaze.
"Did you miss me while I was gone?"
"No." She blushed.
"You're in over your head."
"The look on your face begs to differ."
Jared gazed into her eyes with a wicked smile.
Nicole attempted to pull herself away from Jared's arms, but he had her bound.
"Where do you think you're going?"
"I'm going upstairs to catch some rest."
"Are you in a hurry?"
He maintained his grip on her hand and would not let go.
"What are you on about? I'm done with this conversation."
Nicole released herself from his grip and headed upstairs.
Jared followed her to the bedroom, where Nicole plonked herself on the bed to get some sleep.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJared walked in as well, and closed the door behind him.Then, he climbed onto the bed and laid done beside her.
With Jared's breath hissing against her ears, Nicole could not fall asleep at all.She tossed and turned over to the
other side, and before long, she felt an arm around her waist.
"I'm trying to sleep."
"Well, I'm trying to sleep too."
"How am I supposed to fall asleep like this?"
"You can do so with the crook of my arm around your waist."
The night then became silent, with a bright moon looming over them in the sky.
Through the window, the beams streamed into the room.
The next day, Jared was jolted awake when the phone rang.He proceeded to answer it.
"Mr.Johnston, we've got ourselves a weasel outside the ward," his correspondent said.
"Can you come and take a look?"
"Okay.First, escort him into the security room.I'm coming over right away." Jared placed the phone down, vigilant
and wide awake.
