My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174

Without knowing it herself, Nicole had been working until the dead of night, and she came to her senses after all of the R&D personnel outside the office had left. It was only after Ike came walking in with dinner that she was able to snap out of it.

"Let's eat something first. The chip can't be completed in a day." Ike said, making her realize that she was really hungry.

"Oh, good," she said and was about to rise to her feet when she found that they had been rendered numb after so many hours on the chair.

She staggered a little, and that was when Ike rushed over to keep her supported. "Are you okay?"

Nicole shook her head and was about to speak when another voice came streaming in from the door.

"What are you doing?"

Ike looked toward the door of the office where the tall and straight figure of Jared Johnston stood. Jared did not expect that he would come across a scenario like this just as he had walked past the door. He quickly strode in to help her up, and that was when he shot Ike a glance.

"Mr. Johnston don't get me wrong. Miss Riddle staggered and was about to fall," Ike quickly explained, fearing that Jared would overthink.

"Are you okay?" Jared asked Nicole with concern.

She sat backdown with Jared's help, and after a while she said, "

It's okay. I have just been sitting down for way too long. I wasn't paying attention when I got up just now, and I almost fell. I was very fortunate that Ike was there."

Jared frown lifted the moment he heard Nicole's explanation. "No job is as important as the fact that you must take good care of your health. Do you understand?"

As it was, those words were not just meant for Nicole; they were also a reminder to Ike that he ought to back off.
