Chapter 919
“No, she didn‘t. You may go and rest.” Jared said before Nicole could say anything.
Tia stood on the stairs and scratched her head. “Looks like I was hallucinating.”
“Lead the way. I need to rest early because I have to work tomorrow,” Jared said with a straight face.
Nicole could only lead her to her bedroom. When she walked into it, and before she could react, Jared pressed her against the wall. The only sound left in the quiet room was Nicole‘s thudding heart.
“Are you nervous?” Jared teased her.
Nicole gulped. “What do you say?”
Jared stroked her hair and then planted kisses on her lips.
The next day, Jared drove her to the office. Just as she arrived outside his company’s building, Max came up and handed an envelope to Nicole. She turned to Jared and asked in puzzlement , “What is this?”
“Take a look and you will know.” Jared was creating suspense.
Nicole took the envelope and opened it–it was a set of car keys. “This is for me?”
“Yeah. Since you have to go around places frequently, I bought you a car.”
“Where is the car?”
“Press the key fob.”
“This time The Beacon is part of a complete upgrade that has to be studied in depth in terms of performance and stability.” This was the advice Nicole gave him.
“You are right. This is what I was thinking. The raw materials I was looking at weren‘t too ideal.” Martin looked as if he had been defeated.
“I will work with you to figure out the material problem.” Nicole looked at him with a serious face, hoping she could do her small part to help him.
“Thank you, Nicole.” He felt more assured that Nicole was by his side.
“You are welcome. Make a list of the materials you need. I will try to see if I can find some for you to experiment with first.”
“Okay.” Martin immediately took a pen, wrote it out, and handed the list to Nicole.
Nicole glanced at the list. “I will see what I can do. Wait for my message.”
