Chapter 1189
Nicole, Harvey, and Kelly made their way toward the restaurant while Ike was already waiting inside.
When Ike saw Nicole walking in, he waved at her, prompting her to wave back. Harvey followed Nicole in, and upon noticing Ike's ingratiating tendencies, he began to seethe from deep within.
In the restaurant, Nicole found a quiet spot where she took a seat, with Harvey and Kelly sitting directly across.
"Nicole, are you still going to the foundation later?" Harvey said, wishing to talk to her more, as he did not have the chance to talk to Nicole all morning and during lunch.
"Yeah. What's up? You can't stay for much longer?" Nicole asked, as she had noticed Harvey's look of boredom a few times during the morning, during which she would silently chuckle and leave him be.
"No. I'm very comfortable here." Harvey looked at Nicole, pretending to be relaxed.
Still, he was worried that Nicole would find an excuse to make him leave. He was determined not to give Nicole any chance to kick him out of here.
"Really?" Nicole looked at Harvey's expression with a smirk.
"Of course." Harvey flashed her a reluctant smile.
Nicole glanced at Kelly, nodded, and continued to eat.
"Is there anything I could help with in the afternoon?" Harvey did not want to lollygag and doze off on the chair like he did, as he did not want the time he had with her to be wasted on sleeping.
Nicole looked at Harvey, "Do you really want something to do?"
"Yeah, it's just too boring," Harvey said, unsmiling.
In response, Nicole continued eating, while she thought about what she could assign Harvey to work on.
It was at this moment that Ike brought his plate and came over to sit next to Nicole.
'Why are you here later than usual today?' Ike said, casually starting a conversation with Nicole.
"I was just too focused that I didn't notice the time." Nicole glanced at him and continued munching.
Harvey shot Ike a stare dagger. 'Why is he here? Why is he everywhere? Why is he here having a chat with her when we're eating?'
It was then that Ike noticed that Nicole did not continue their conversation, and that that her mind was elsewhere, 'What are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking about what I could let him do," Nicole said without even bothering to sugarcoat the fact.
