Chapter 1362
After a while, the old butler came over, "Mr. Johnston Sr.? Your lunch is ready."
"Jared, Nicole? Let's go,” Mr. Johnston Sr. said while looking at them.
Nicole quickly went over to support Mr. Johnston Sr., helping him toward the dining room. Both Jared and Nicole then
accompanied Mr. Johnston Sr. to his first meal after returning to the Johnston family manor.
Jared and Nicole bade Mr. Johnston Sr. farewell after they had finished the meal.
In the car, Jared looked at Nicole and asked, "What did you do to make him like you so much? This is the first time I've
heard him showering others with praise.”
Nicole shot Jared a frown before asking, "What do you mean? Are you unhappy that he likes me that much? Or do you
think I'm that hard to like?'
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJared suddenly fell silent upon being bombarded with these questions.
'Why aren't you talking anymore? You still owe me an explanation." Nicole looked at Jared and said.
"Of course, I'm happy. My taste in women has always been the best." Jared's mouth curled up in triumph.
'I didn't ask you to boast. I asked you to give me an explanation." Nicole frowned demanded, as Jared was too shy
and embarrassed to say it.
"Well, I've given you the explanation, and that's all you're getting," Jared said arrogantly.
Noticing that Jared was still refusing to give her a direct answer, she did not press on further. Instead, she reached
out to turn the music on and crank the volume up.
"I'm going back to the research lab, you can drop me off there," Nicole said in a commanding tone of voice without
waiting for Jared to speak.
Jared shot her a glance, and the corner of his mouth lifted. "Okay."
He then floored the accelerator and drove toward the Golden Coast Building.
Soon after, they arrived at the lobby of the Golden Coast Building, during which Jared turned to look at Nicole and
said, "We're here."
Nicole turned around and was about to get off the car when Jared asked, ’ Should I come and pick you up later?"
"Sure," Nicole responded softly, whereupon she closed the door and made her way into the building. Jared watched
as she walked in, before driving away to his headquarters.
On the way there, Jared's phone rang.
"Mr. Johnston, I'd like to go and pick up the red wine in a bit. Are you at HQ right now?" Fiorella's voice blared out
from the speakers.
"Yeah," he responded.
"Alright, I'll see you in a bit." Fiorella smiled and hung up.

escorting Henry was ambushed on the way. I can't reach him now."
Jared stopped in his tracks and looked at Max with muzzled eyebrows, ’ Send someone to get him right away. We must
bring Henry back at all costs! We can't let him get away again!"
"Yes, sir." Max turned around and went to deal with the matter.
Jared walked up to his personal elevator and pressed the button to call it down.
A voice suddenly called out to him from several yards away. Jared followed the source and direction of the voice and saw
that it was Fiorella, who was walking toward him.
'I guess I have no choice but to wait for her,' he thought as he waited for her.
Fiorella then sauntered over and stood beside Jared. "I didn’t expect that I'd bump into you in the lobby. What a
coincidence."
Indeed, Fiorella was delighted to see Jared. 'I haven't seen him for a while now, no thanks to the project.'
"How did you arrive so quickly?" Jared asked Fiorella with a look of surprise.
