Chapter 1141
"Nicole?" Jared shook his phone. "Is the call dropping?"
Nicole laughed at him. "No, Kelly is here with us too."
'He probably won't be sleeping tonight if I don't tell him about this,' she thought.
"Who’s Kelly?" Jared asked, confused as he did not seem to know that person.
"My new assistant. That lady who used to be Chloe's assistant in the studio," Nicole explained.
"Oh." Jared uttered, and ceased worrying as he began to recall who that was.
"Has Miss Fisher seen you today?" Nicole asked, bringing Fiorella up as a topic of conversation on purpose.
"No, why did you suddenly think of her?" Jared looked at Nicole with his brows raised.
"If you can ask me about Harvey, why can't I ask you about Fiorella?" Nicole retorted, upset.
"Of course you can, you can ask me about anybody." Jared knew what Nicole was trying to say, so he quickly relented.
She knew that Jared was giving her a half-hearted response, so she rolled her eyes. "Do you have anything else to say? If not, I’ll hang up now."
"No. Remember to let me know before you come back. I'll pick you up," Jared said, taking the initiative to patch things up between them.
"We'll see, then." Nicole did not want to let him go easily, so she hung up at once.
After lying aimlessly on her bed for a while, she suddenly remembered that Harvey and Kelly were still upstairs. With this in mind, she switched her phone off and left her room before taking the elevator.
Harvey and Kelly were playing with a claw machine, and while Kelly looked very engrossed with the game, Harvey seemed to be rather distracted.
The instant he saw Nicole coming out of the elevator, Harvey quickly welcomed her. "Nicole, why did you go away for so long?"
"Eh, are you trying to get a plushie?" Nicole dodged his question and shot him one of her own as she saw Kelly playing.
"Yeah, we've gotten a few," Harvey responded, still figuring out why Nicole had left for so long.
"Miss Riddle, you're finally back. Help me with this plushie, please. I've tried one too many times, but I just can't seem to get it." Kelly said, looking rather resigned.
"Let me see." Nicole walked over.
"Are you talking about the blue elephant?" Nicole asked Kelly.
"Yeah, that blue elephant." Kelly pointed at the plushie in the machine.
"Okay, I'll give it a shot," Nicole said. "It's not my fault if I can't get it, though."
