'I don't know where he is and how he’s doing now.' Nicole thought.
She was planning to contact Zeke, but was then met with an unexpected pop-up alert on her computer.
'There is a delayed alarm that has always been hidden,' she surmised.' Once the codes have been deciphered, it'll still be
triggered regardless if the mission was a success or not. My location has been locked into as soon as I've cracked it.’
Nicole immediately recognized the seriousness of the matter and called Martin.
'Martin, I have something urgent that I need to tend to, and I have to leave for the time being. As for Jared...I'll leave him
to you." Nicole shot Jared a glance while talking to Martin on the phone.
"What happened?" Martin asked, confused by Nicole's sudden phone call, as well as her odd request.
’I don't have time to explain to you now. I'll explain everything once I get back. I have to leave right away, so can you get
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthere before I leave?" Nicole asked, her tone brimming with impatience.
"Okay. I'll come over right away," he agreed.
It was Martin's first-time hearing Nicole being so impatient.
After hanging up, Nicole quickly packed her laptop and her belongings, ready to leave at any given moment. She
then walked over to Jared's hospital bed before leaning over to kiss him on the forehead.
"Jared, I may have to leave for a bit. You have to wake up as soon as possible, and when I come back, I hope to see
the old you again."
The door of the ward was suddenly thrown open by Martin, who walked in quickly and went up to her to ask, ’
Nicole, what is it that you're in such a hurry for? You have not completed your recovery yet. It's not advisable for
you to go out." Martin looked at Nicole with concern, as he did not want things to turn out the way they did, like last
time.
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine. While I'm away, I'll leave Jared to you. Please, take good care of him for me!"
Nicole looked at Martin earnestly, for she trusted him the most.
"Don't you worry, I'll take good care of him. Where are you heading? You should at least give me for a heads-up,
right?" Martin asked, feeling that Nicole was behaving a little too strangely.
'Why is it that she suddenly has to leave on a business trip?’ he thought. 'To top it all, all of this sounds very
suspicious.’
'The less people know about this, the better. I'm not telling you for your own sake." Nicole glanced at the time. 'I
have to leave, I can't stay here.'
Martin's lowered his gaze. 'Is it possible that she's going out there to do something risky?'
"Nicole, you can't go about doing stuff that'll get you killed!"
"There's nothing dangerous about it," she said. "It's just a business trip abroad. What are you so nervous about?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThings just came up, and when they did, I just have to go."
"Okay, I have to leave now. I'll call you when I have the time." Nicole gave Jared one last glance after she had
spoken, whereupon she left in a hurry.
Martin watched as Nicole left. He wanted to follow to see what was going on, but with Jared's life entrusted to him, he
could not leave the latter alone in the ward without anyone to tend to him.
Martin took his phone out and called Harvey, Mr. Ellison, Nicole just..."
"Okay, I got it. I'll head to the airport right away." Harvey hung up and drove to the airport at once.
Nicole sat in a taxi while inquiring about the latest flight. 'I have to go somewhere safe before I get myself exposed.'
Then, at the airport, while Nicole was going through security checks, Harvey rushed in, looking around for Nicole at the
seating area.
Soon, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, and that was when he loudly shouted, ’Nicole!”
Nicole heard a familiar voice calling out to her and looked up to see that it was Harvey. 'What is he doing here!?'
She quickly ducked down, before she grabbed her belongings and boarded the plane.
