Chapter 220
Nicole understood Jared had to work, so she did not want to bother him.
She turned her head to look out of the window at the twilight outside.
The person sitting next to her gave her a sense of security.
The half-bottle of red wine gradually fermented and precipitated in her body, making her feel warm.
Nicole unconsciously closed her eyes.
Jared was making a video call.
He seemed to have felt something and took off his headset, then looked over at Nicole.
The ray of sunset fell on her face, making a beautiful picture of her in his eyes.
On the other end of the video call, Dino saw the side profile of his boss’s face and was wide eyed.
His boss looked so gentle as if a boat drifting at sea had finally found a harbor to dock.
It was also as if a drowning man had seen a lighthouse in the vast sea.
His boss had landed on an island that belonged to him alone.
Jared took a thin blanket from beside him and gently covered it over Nicole’s body.
He then turned his face around expressionlessly and cut off the video call with Dino.
Dino stared at the black screen, still wide-eyed.
Suddenly, a window popped up along with a concise line of text.
(She has fallen asleep.
Send the message now.)
Dino looked incredulously at the message, realizing that the relationship between Nicole and his boss was indeed unusual.
Still, he told Jared about the unfinished business.
Mecrounia had held an election recently, and the new president seemed to have a lot of opinions about the Hustuaburgian; business in the Mecrounian market was tough, with many projects facing problems.
He asked Jared what he should do and whether he needed to adjust their strategy.
Jared looked at Dino’s messages expressionlessly.
He then casually replied, (Wait a little longer.
The busy work these two days had exhausted her.
But her long-term habits allowed her to go on unaffected.
Nicole did not expect to be able to get such a long, good sleep.
Upon waking up, Nicole looked around.
Her vision at night was good.
The dim light hardly affected her.
Soon, seeing Jared sitting with his eyes closed beside her, she took the thin blanket that covered her, wanting to put it on him.
Just then, Jared opened his eyes and looked at her with very awake eyes, as if he did not sleep at all just now.
“You’re awake,” he said.
His gentle voice sounded as if a mountain spring flowed through her heart, bringing with it a kind of icy reverberation.
