Ì wanted to say the same thing," said Jared, glancing at Nicole.
"You're lying! I don't believe it!" said Nicole.
"It's true. I'm not lying to you this time," Jared explained to her seriously.
Nicole still found it hard to believe his words. ' Really?"
"Really."
"Alright then. Where do you want to go this afternoon?" Nicole asked Jared.
"Of course, we're going to your favorite place, Blue Whale Restaurant," Jared responded.
Nicole had just been there with Martin the day before, and they had the softshell king crab. Today, she wanted to try
something new. "I don't think we should go there so often. Why not switch things up today?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sure. Then you can think of a place to go." Jared wanted her to choose.
'I can't think of any now. I'll let you know once I think of one."
As they were chatting, a car reached the lobby of the Golden Coast Building. Nicole gave Jared a peck on the cheek.
Then, she quickly opened the car door for him and ran into the building.
Watching Nicole run inside, Jared smiled widely. Then, he drove out of the Golden Coast Building.
Just as Nicole stepped out of the elevator, the receptionist hurried to her and said, "Ms. Riddle, Mr. Harvey is waiting
for you inside."
"Harvey? What's he doing here?" Nicole asked the receptionist.
The receptionist shook her head. "I'm not sure."
"Alright, I got it." Nicole walked into her office.
Harvey was sitting in her office, drinking coffee leisurely.
"Mr. Harvey, are you treating this place like a café now? You always come here for coffee whenever you're free."
Nicole spoke suddenly, startling
Harvey.
"How come there's no sound when you walk?" Harvey questioned her as he patted his chest.
"It's because you weren't listening. What are you doing here today?" Nicole sat on her office chair.
"Have you forgotten about the plan we discussed yesterday? I've been waiting for your message all night long."
Harvey gave her a puzzled look.
"Also, why didn't you ask me along for dinner with Martin last night?" Harvey looked unsatisfied.
"I had something important to discuss with Martin last night. Also, why should I invite you when I eat with someone?
I don't have to explain these things to you as well," said Nicole, rolling her eyes at him.
Hearing that, Harvey became angrier. "In that case, don't you dare ask me to send the both of you home next time!"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInitially, he just wanted to make Nicole feel guilty. He did not expect Nicole to act so arrogantly.
"You sent me home yesterday?" Nicole could not believe her ears. She clearly remembered calling Kelly. How did it end up
being Harvey?
"If not, who?"
Nicole was confused and looked at Harvey in disbelief. "That's strange. I remember I called Kelly. How did the call reach
you?"
"Look." Harvey whipped out his call history and showed it to Nicole.
Only then could Nicole believe his words.
'That's really strange. But thank you for sending me home yesterday," Nicole thanked Harvey reluctantly.
Harvey finally felt better after hearing those words. "I'm a generous man, so I'll forget about this. Now, let's talk about
how we'll deal with Joyce."
At the mention of Joyce, Nicole became serious. She recalled what Martin had told her the night before. Then, she looked
at Harvey and said, "Tell that restaurant owner you didn't succeed. That way, we can extend Joyce's stay here."
"Would that work? Wouldn't they get suspicious of me?" Harvey looked at Nicole and analyzed her expression.
