After coming to an agreement on the project, Nicole and Jared bid goodbye to everyone and left the Biz Club.
Nicole was rendered speechless. "I could never wrap my head around it. How could such an important business
negotiation happen at such a serene place like this?"
"You'll gradually get used to this. In fact, some projects are completed this way," explained Jared, smirking.
Nicole nodded. "I see... This way, I guess one can hold a meeting with a clear mind without external factors
bothering them. The success or failure of the meeting will all depend on the individuals involved, with no
intervention of third parties."
Jared interlocked their fingers together. "The most important thing here is that it saves a lot of trouble."
Nicole shrugged. "You're right."

not even be resolved within a few months. Companies after companies would come flocking in and come at each
other's throats. The workload to process all this would immensely skyrocket, and most work done would be
meaningless if it were to fail,' she thought.
Nicole took a glance at Jared, one eyebrow raised. "This is the exclusive social circle, isn't it?"
Jared looked down at Nicole with soft eyes. "If you put it that way, then yes."
"Well would you look at that? It's almost lunch time. Let's go grab some food first," said Nicole, humming after she
scored the project.
Jared looked at her affectionately. "Sure, let's go."
Jared took Nicole to her favorite restaurant for lunch where they took a seat by the window while admiring the
people walking up and down the street.
Glancing out the window, Nicole rested her chin on one hand and sighed. "Life goes by in a blink of an eye, without
realizing that we're all passersby by default. Not many can stay by your side for a long time."
"Why are you being so deep all of the sudden?" asked Jared with an affectionate look on his face.
"I just feel that ever since I came back here, I feel like I'm very lucky to have survived and escaped all that," said
Nicole.
'If it weren't for Nolan who sneakily came back here to participate in a competition, I would've never stepped foot
here. I'd never have known I have missed an entire lifetime before me,' she thought.
Nicole looked Jared in the eye. She took Jared's hand into hers and held it tightly. "I feel grateful that fate or any
divinity out there gave me the chance to come back here to be reunited with you again."
Jared caressed the back of Nicole's hand gently. 'Til make sure we won't lose one another again."
"Jared Johnston. Thank you," Nicole said earnestly.

Nicole was confused. "What? Why?"
Jared chuckled. "You'll find out real soon."
"Wow, Mr. Mysterious," muttered Nicole as she obediently closed her eyes. She suddenly felt something cold placed
into the palm of her hand.
Nicole subconsciously opened her eyes and saw a small jewelry box in her palm.
"What's this?"
"Open it and take a look," said Jared, eyes warm.
Nicole opened the box and saw a necklace inside it. It was the exact same necklace she had seen in the magazine
before. Nicole had just casually mentioned how beautiful it was before turning the page to look at other things. She
had not thought that Jared had taken note of it and bought it based on her casual remark.
Nicole's heart fluttered. Her eyes were filled with happiness. "Thank you."
"Come, I'll help you put it on," Jared offered. He took it out from the box and helped Nicole put it on.
Nicole touched the necklace after Jared had put it on for her. Her heart skipped a beat, the butterflies in her tummy
doing somersaults. It was the happiest Nicole had ever been.
