Chapter 2763
"Hehe." Ellar awkwardly smiled. "She got injured while saving me, so I just wanted to know more about her."
"Is that all?"' Nicole squinted at Ellar, unable to shake the feeling that he was up to something.
There was something obviously unnatural and forced about the expression on his face, and yet he stuck to his guns
and insisted, "Yes, that's all."
"Oh." Nicole uttered, trying to stop herself from exposing him.
After shooting him another glance, she said, "Patricia didn't come."
"Is she okay?" Ellar asked, seemingly a little disappointed.
"The injury has already healed. You don't need to worry about it,” Nicole replied with a slight smile as she looked at
him.
Ellar looked away in discomfort, and after coming up with an excuse to skedaddle, he said, "I'm running out of time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI'll go meet my business partner now."
"Sure, go ahead." Nicole grinned.
Ellar was beginning to feel a little uneasy. Something told him that Nicole had seen through him, and that was good
enough of a reason for him to leave.
Nicole's smile grew even wider as she watched Ellar scurry away, almost colliding into a waiter on his way out. She
figured that he must be feeling called out.
After Ellar had fled, Nicole withdrew her gaze and raised an eyebrow. It seemed to her that Ellar was unusually
concerned about Patricia. However, they had barely met, so it begged the question: why was he so concerned
about her?
Still, she was aware that nothing would be able to sway two people from getting together if Cupid willed it. Those
destined for each other would eventually be together.
By the time the hilarious encounter with Ellar was over, lunch was already served, so Nicole shifted her focus back
to the food and proceeded to start her meal with Jared.
Jared gently scooped bits of each dish and served them to Nicole, who happily ate them. In most cases, there was
no defying Cupid's arrow, and the best example was her and Jared.
Then, she looked at Jared and gave him a radiant smile." Thank you, Jared Johnston."
'Thank you for everything in the past. Thank you for knowing me, understanding me, loving me, and protecting
me!'
Jared returned the smile as he lovingly ran his fingers through Nicole's hair. "Same here."
He knew what she meant, and he felt the same way too. He was grateful for her, and he was determined to spend
the rest of his life with her, peacefully and happily.
After lunch, Jared accompanied Nicole back to Riddle Corporation.
When the car stopped, Nicole bit her lip, gave Jared a quick kiss on the cheek, and got out.
Jared was stunned for a moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThen, a smile grew on his face as he watched her disappear into the company building. "Let's go, Max."
"Yes," Max responded and started the car.
"Mr. Johnston, Zane has deployed everyone in his recon and intelligence division to investigate the Eastern Falcon,"
Max said in a low voice.
And with a tinge of coldness in his voice, Jared responded," Once there's news, Zane will inform us."
"Oh, and Patricia has also reported that there are now movements on Damien's part. He's probably preparing to
meet someone," Max added.
Everything Damien had done smelled fishy, so they were wondering if Everett was involved in this too.
Jared's brow furrowed as he said, "Just get Patricia to keep an eye on him."
He believed that there was no urgency when it came to dealing with Damien for now, as they would definitely get
wind of Damien's actions the instant he did something.
"Okay, I understand," Max replied.
It would be a waste of resources to strike with full force unless Everett was involved. And even if Everett had really
returned, Nicole and Patricia could handle him themselves, so there was nothing for him to worry about.
As the sun set, those who had already worked their 8 hour shifts began to make their way home.
