Chapter 1706
When Jared saw Nicole approaching him to discuss the matter, he felt a lot better.
He could tell that Nicole had no feelings for Ike, and thus, he accepted the request. "Alright. Since Nicole had
agreed, I have no further comments."
Ike was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Johnston. Thank you, Nicole!"
Yet, it was then that Nicole began to scrutinize Ike.
He used to enjoy his freedom, and no matter how many investors approached him, he would never sway. This time
around, he actually made a request on his own to join Jared's team. Although something smelled fishy, Nicole still
needed such talent.
Throughout the whole meal, Ike enjoyed it happily. He even discussed the issue of artificial intelligence with Nicole
from time to time.

"O-okay..." Ike agreed, whereupon he quickly finished his meal.
Soon, dinner was done. Ike waved and bade both Nicole and Jared goodbye. The both of them watched as Ike drove
away in his car before they got into their own.
Jared then added, "He actually requested to join us. That isn't his usual self, is it?"
Nicole was silent for a moment. "But he’s a research maniac. Therefore, I understand him too. Just take that as a
reference I suppose."
"Yeah." Jared uttered, and did not comment further.
The both of them were enjoying their last moment for the day together, and soon, Jared said to Max in a soft
voice," Bring us to the beach for a night drive."
"Got it." Max nodded and drove to the beachside.
Soon, the car arrived at the coastline, and Max opened the hood thoughtfully, allowing the gentle sea breeze to
blow into the car.
Nicole felt relaxed upon being caressed by the wind. That feeling one got whenever they went for a drive with their
lover was indeed amazing.
Looking at how relaxed Nicole was, Jared smiled affectionately. "So, do you like it?"
"I do. It's so rare for me to be this relaxed." Nicole beam while the necklace she was wearing revealed itself.
Jared smiled in kind. "You look good in it."
Nicole nodded. "I guess we should say that you have a good eye."
Jared looked at Nicole and hugged her lovingly. Then, they enjoyed the night-time scenery in the night breeze. Then,
they went for a hug and a kiss, which lasted for a long time.
After their night drive by the beach, Nicole suddenly had the urge to race, which prompted Jared to bring Nicole to
a private racecourse.
It had been a while since they had gone there, and the place had been renovated.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the owner of the place, Jared had contributed a lot to its refurbishment, making Nicole smile. "Did you renovate
this place according to my liking?"
Jared nodded and beamed. "You could tell? Yes, I did."
Nicole then looked at him with a sweet expression on her face. "Thank you."
Then, just as she was about to drive Jared's racing car over, Jared had already ordered his men to send it over.
A black racing car halted in front of her, glittering under the night sky, and capturing everyone's attention.
"This is for you."
"Another gift?" Nicole was shocked, for he had just gifted her a necklace the night before.
This car was custom made, and hence, it must have cost a fortune.
"Yes." Jared smiled. "Go on and give it a spin."
"Okay." Nicole said.
She quickly changed into her racing uniform and climbed
into the car with much pride.
'Vroom vroom.’
The engine roared as everyone's eyes were on her.
"Wow! That car is so cool!"
