Chapter 1193
"Kelly, did you see Harvey when he went out?" Nicole asked.
"No, I didn't see him." Kelly raised her head when she heard Nicole's voice.
She had been working all this while, and so, she had not notice that Harvey was not in the office anymore.
It was then that Harvey came sauntering in with some cakes in hand.
"Take a break and have a slice of cake." Harvey looked at Nicole and Kelly with a smile, after which he placed it down on Nicole's desk.
"You brought cakes for US?" Nicole stared at Harvey, her eyes wide.
'Before this, he made me coffee because he wanted some,' she thought. 'It was a matter of convenience and I doubt he really cared, anyway. How is he so caring, all of a sudden?'
Harvey knew that Nicole did not like him, and he was worried that Nicole would think that he was going an extra mile to show her that he cared, so he denied it. "Oh, I was going to go make myself more coffee, and I saw some cakes, so I took some back for the two of you to help with the fatigue."
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing his explanation. "I was just beginning to think that you underwent a 180 degree shift in personality, but as it turns out, it is just a matter of convenience. Thanks anyway."
Then, Nicole picked a slice of cake up and handed it to Kelly.
’Thanks."
Nicole picked up another slice of cake and ate it happily. "I guess the sugar does help with the fatigue."
Harvey grinned with unmistakable pride and satisfaction the instant he saw that Nicole was eating happily.
"Nicole, it's getting dark, so should we get off work too?" Harvey looked at her and asked.
"You can leave anytime you want," Nicole said.
"I'm not just talking about me," Harvey replied. "I'm talking about you too."
"I've still got one last part to take care of. I'll get off work after I'm done dealing with it." Nicole looked at him.
"In that case, I'll wait for you to finish and get off work together," he said.' After all, there is one part left to be completed."
Harvey just wanted to be right next to her. He clicked on the file he had closed and continued working. The three of them then got busy in the office for another hour before Nicole turned the computer off and stood up to stretch her muscles.
"Time to get off work," Nicole said.
Harvey looked at Nicole, "Okay, I'll shut the computer down right away."
"Me too." Kelly turned her desktop off as well, and stood up.
