"Yeah, I picked it up early today from his research room," Lulu said, handing the small bag to Nicole. "Take this. It's
really important."
Nicole grabbed the medicine and replied, "Right. Let's get in."
"Sure," Lulu said, linking arms with Nicole and flashing her a big smile. "Samuel invited us over for dinner tonight.
You in?"
"Absolutely," Nicole said.
After the cryptic call from Samuel insisting that she came, she decided that it was not an invitation that she could
decline.
"What's he planning, being all secretive like that?" Lulu asked, her face brimming with curiosity.

"He did mention that he’d treat us to a meal after he has completed his recovery," Lulu said after a moment of
consideration. 'Is this his way of making good on that promise?'
"Well see when we get there," Nicole replied.
"True that." Lulu laughed.
As soon as they arrived at the office wing, they got busy with their work right away, and just like that, the day went
by
in a flash. When it was time for them to go home, Lulu burst into Nicole's office.
"Come on, let's get going!" Lulu exclaimed, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
Nicole raised her brow, smirking. "What's the rush?"
"I've got this feeling that something great's about to happen. I wanna be there first!" Lulu said, sticking her tongue
out playfully.
"Okay, okay." Nicole laughed, getting up to head out with Lulu.
By the time they made it to the entrance of the headquarters, Jared and Spencer were already there, waiting
forthem.
"Spencer!" Lulu called out joyfully, and ran over to him.
Nicole, on the other hand, looked up at Jared with a faint smile on her face.
"Didn't expect to see you here," she said, recalling that he had mentioned that he had an important virtual meeting
earlier in the day.
"I just got done with it," Jared answered, gently taking Nicole's hand as they strolled off to his parked car.
Nicole's smile wavered for a second. 'He was supposed to be having a meeting with a multinational company

Then, in a low voice, she said, "You know, it's just dinner with Samuel. Not sure it is something worth shuffling your
whole day around for."
Indeed, she was genuinely surprised to learn that he had rearranged his plans for this dinner.
"It's okay. I just wanted to spend time with you," Jared said, his eyes softening.
Nicole could tell that the dinner was not what mattered to him. Feeling touched, she smiled as a surge of warmth
radiated from within.
Soon after, the car pulled up outside the restaurant Samuel had picked. As Nicole and Jared walked in, they noticed
that everyone else was already there: Samuel with June, Spencer hanging out with Lulu, and Stanley all by himself.
"Let's enjoy ourselves tonight. I've rented out the entire place," Samuel announced.
"Going all out today, Samuel? What's the occasion?" Lulu teased.
Hearing that, Samuel feigned offense. "You make it sound like I'm always tight-fisted."
