Chapter 1179
"What is your opinion on this?" Nicole turned to the chief designer.
"I think all of your suggestions are great. We will modify according to both of your ideas as soon as possible."
"Alright. Well leave it to the design team. If you come across any difficulties, well always here for you. We can solve this together." Nicole eyed the chief designer with a serious look on her face.
"Alright."
"That's all for now," she said. "We're leaving. All the best to you!"
After Nicole had walked out of the design department with Ike, she turned to him and said, "You should head to the R&D department. I'll go back to my office now."
"Okay," he uttered.
Once Nicole had arrived at her office, she turned the computer on and sat down to continue working on the code, but after an hour or so, Jared called her on the phone.
"Are you working? Did you get enough rest?" Jared's caring and gentle tone could be heard on the line.
"Yeah, I'm working now. It's only been an hour, and I don't feel tired at all." Nicole turned on the loudspeaker on and worked while chatting with him.
"Even if it has just been an hour, you should move around and stretch for a bit. Now, just put your work aside for a moment," Jared said in a commanding tone of voice.
"Okay, HI catch a break now,' Nicole agreed, though her fingers were still darting across the keyboard.
"Are you trying to fool me?" Jared asked. "I can hear you typing away on the keyboard."
"You have a good sense of hearing." Nicole smiled and
"I'm standing up and taking a break now. There's no typing sound from the keyboard anymore, right?" reported Nicole.
"That's good. Move around a bit more. You can chat with me too while taking a break." Jared replied assertively.
"Why are you so pushy? You want me to chat with you while taking a break. In that case, why would it still be considered a break? I'm hanging up," Nicole balked.
"I've got no choice. This is the only way for me to know that you're actually taking a break," he said.
Jared was just worried about her. He knew that if they ended the call, she would return to her work without resting at all. He knew her all too well.
"Your little tricks," he said. "I'm telling you, it's best for you to not play any of them with me." "Fine, you've caught me red handed. You win."
"Oh yeah. By the way, weren't you looking into Henry's leads? How do you still have the time to call me?" Nicole suddenly remembered and asked.
"Max is looking into it. I'm in the car with nothing to do, and I suddenly thought about you." Jared glanced out of the window.
Max had been away for a long time and he had not returned yet.
"I see. Then you shouldn't be sitting in the car waiting. You should go and check things out," Nicole advised.
