Chapter 1192
As Harvey stirred the coffee with a spoon in his hand, the image of Nicole leaning over in front of him appeared in his mind's eye.
’Her curves are perfect, and I think I can still smell the fragrance of her lovely hair,' he thought.
Kelly was already drinking her coffee while Harvey was still stirring his in a daze.
Kelly at him in confusion and could not help but offer him a reminder. "Mr. Harvey, the coffee is done, isn't it?"
Kelly's voice brought him back to reality. "Oh, yeah."
Harvey took the coffee that he had brewed and drank it directly, forgetting that it was for Nicole.
Seeing that, Kelly's eyes widened and she asked, "Mr. Harvey, isn't this cup for Miss Riddle?"
Harvey's hand froze as he held the cup to his mouth.
'Oh no,' he thought. 'Why did I even drink from the cup that I had made for her? What am I going to do now? Right!'
Harvey spun around and looked at Kelly with a smile. "This cup of coffee has too much milk, so I won't be giving it to Nicole. I'll make another for her right away. If you're in a hurry, you can head back first."
As he said that, he began making another cup and glanced at Kelly who was standing beside him.
"Remember not to add too much milk again. I'll head back first." Kelly said, and made her way back to the office.
'Where's mine?" Nicole asked as she saw Kelly walking in without any coffee for her.
"Mr. Harvey has it. He's making it for you." Kelly smiled and walked back to her seat.
"He...alright then."
After Kelly had left, Harvey breathed a sigh of relief. 'Was I acting weird? Did she see that? I can't be thinking too much about it now. Nicole is still waiting for her cup.'
Harvey hurriedly made the coffee and took it to the office.
"Nicole, this is for you. I didn't mean to keep you waiting." Harvey looked at her with warm eyes.
"You didn't poison it did you? After all, you've been there for a while." Nicole narrowed her eyes, teasing him.
"Stop with the hogwash. If you really did....no, no, you better not drink it, then. I can't be held responsible if anything happens." Harvey reached out to grab the coffee in Nicole's hand.
"You fell for it. I'm just messing with you." Nicole moved away, preventing him from taking her cup.
"Don't you make jokes like these anymore." Harvey gave her a serious stare and returned to his seat to continue working.
"What is going on? He became a different person after he went out to make me this cup of coffee,' Nicole thought.
"Kelly, did he meet Ike out there?" Nicole stood up and whispered to her.
"As far as what I saw was concerned, no. I didn't see Mr. Ike when I was there. I'm not sure about what happened after I had left," Kelly whispered back.
'That’s strange. Why isn't he even able to take a joke anymore?" Nicole glanced at Harvey, unable to wrap her head around the situation.
