Chapter 1139
Harvey hesitated as he thought, 'Nicole would definitely be suspicious if I return to her too soon, right?'
Thus, he walked in.
"Do you want anything to drink?" Kelly asked.
"It's okay, I'm just looking around," Harvey replied.
"What are you going to do after you're done?" Harvey asked.
"Eh, I'll probably meet up with Miss Riddle." Kelly sat next to Harvey and looked at him. "I wonder if she has anything for me to do."
When he heard that she was going to look for Nicole, his plan was ruined. All he could do now was invite Kelly.
"Well, I've heard that there's an entertainment lounge upstairs. Would you like to check it out together?" Harvey looked into her eyes and asked.
Kelly was suddenly flustered as she thought, 'Is Harvey asking me out?'
Harvey seemed to know what she was thinking, and so, he quickly added, "Nicole and I are planning to head over there later. So, I came over to ask you if you'd like to join us."
He breathed a sigh of relief as he waited for her answer.
Kelly immediately knew that she had misunderstood, so she calmed herself down and looked at him, embarrassed. "Ah, okay. I'm fine with anything."
"All right, you can continue unpacking now," he said. "Let's gather in Nicole's room once you're done. See you there."
Harvey left right after he was done passing her Nicole's message.
"Sure," Kelly uttered as she watched him leave.
After he closed the door, Kelly mumbled to herself, "What were you thinking?! Why would Harvey even be interested in you?! You almost made a fool out of yourself."
Outside her room, Harvey looked at Kelly's door and figured that he should be more vigilant when speaking to Kelly.
When he returned to Nicole's room, Nicole asked, "What did she say?"
"She's unpacking too, so she'll come over when she's done."
"I'll head back for now. When you're about to leave, please remember to holler me," Harvey said, and went back to his room.
"Alright," Nicole said.
On the other end, Jared was still in his office, checking his phone from time to time. He was afraid that he would miss her texts, but whenever he checked his phone for messages from Nicole, there would be none at all.
"This woman sure knows how to keep a grudge. I'll see how long she can keep up with this charade." Jared toughened up and did away with the questions that were plaguing him.
But after having completed his work, Jared picked his phone up and called Nicole anyway.
Beep... beep...
Though the call was connected, no one was there to answer it. This angered Jared, who was about to hang up, until he heard Nicole's voice muttering a soft, "Hello?"
Jared drew a deep breath, and he suddenly did not know how to continue the conversation. "Did you land safely?"
"Of course, who else are you even talking to?!" Nicole answered.
