’You're here just in time, Ike. Help me see if I've missed anything." Nicole looked at Ike and thought,
'Finally, someone can help me.'
Ike looked around as his eyes ranged over the equipment in the office.' Everything's here already. This
place is almost as good as my lab now."
’Yeah, okay. Still, this place is not remotely comparable to yours. How's the preparation going on your
end?" Nicole stopped what she was doing and looked at Ike.
'A few members of my team have not arrived yet, so I suppose your team is more disciplined than
mine." Ike looked at Nicole in admiration.
"We're just fine." Nicole smiled humbly.
"Well, I'm not going to stick around for a chat. I've got to go back and start preparing too," Ike said,
after which he left Nicole's workplace.
Nicole watched Ike as he left and smiled.

All of them looked around and it was then that one of them said, "One of us isn’t here yet."
’Call that person and ask them where they're at."
’Okay."
’Kelly, Harvey isn't here too, right?’ Nicole looked at Kelly, who was beside her.
'He told me he was on his way when I texted him earlier," Kelly said.
"Alright.
"Before we begin, let's have a discussion. You can state your opinions. Tell me what you think about this chip."
Nicole looked at them.
While they were discussing, Harvey arrived and walked in after pushing the door open, and for a moment, he
locked eyes with Nicole before taking a seat.
Nicole was at the front, going over the ways in which she could work with the R&D personnel. Soon after, the
person who got stuck in traffic barged in as he panted heavily, rushing to join the discussion. After it was over,
Nicole charged a few of them with the task of developing the chip, and though everyone was assigned a different
responsibility, all of them would be working collectively toward the same goal.
From time to time, someone would call out to Nicole and say, "Please have a look at this. Miss Riddle.
The office was busy, but Harvey was afforded the privilege of being the most laid-back person in the room.
However, he did not just laze around, as his eyes were fixed on Nicole. His gaze followed her wherever she went.
He knew that Nicole was busy, so he did not wish to bother her. All he could do was watch her in silence.
As soon as lunchtime came, Harvey went up to Nicole to speak to her. Unfortunately for him, Ike, who was slightly
late, had walked over too.
"Wow, you really are working hard. Usually, you'll come over early for lunch. Why are you the latest among
everyone today?” Nicole teased.
"I won't allow myself to lose to you. For the entire morning, I haven't drank a single sip of water." Ike said before he
gulped a big glass of water down.
"Seriously? You have so many people working with you, but you don't even have the time to drink water?" Nicole
said, unable to believe what he was spouting.
"I'm serious." Ike replied with a look of defeat.

Back in the office, Jared was working when someone walked in after opening the door.
"Mr. Johnston, I'm glad you're finally back, as the project might be delayed if you aren't." Fiorella
fussed as she entered Jared's office.
"It seems that the news got to you rather quickly, Miss Fisher. I just got back yesterday and you're
already here today," Jared joked as he looked into Fiorella's eyes.
"Oh, that's very charming of you to say, Mr. Johnston. You were the one who brought me here." Fiorella
looked at Jared affectionately.
Jared was rendered speechless and changed the subject at once. "Did you come here to talk about the
project?"
'Yeah, I can't believe I actually forgot about the elephant in the room after looking at you," she said.
"Mr. Johnston, though Henry has fled to another country, I signed this contract with the Johnston Group,
and that is why it's still in effect. Thankfully, it's stated in the contract that you and Castor are the
people in charge of this project. This why I'm now talking to you about it."
Fiorella smiled. To her, Henry's absence was a boon, as Jared would not have an excuse to avoid her
anymore.
