Chapter 1202
[Come over then, I'll be waiting for you.] Nicole mocked, unafraid as she knew that Jared was threatening her. 'Why would he even come over when he just flew back, anyway?'
[You dare challenge me? Very well. We'll see what I'm going to do to you the next time I see you...] Jared replied, sending a few emojis along with the message.
Nicole quickly gazed off at Harvey's direction. As luck would have it, Harvey was not looking at her, so she shifted over and used the monitor to block his view of her.
"No more second chances. Goodbye!" Nicole quickly turned her phone off and acted like nothing had happened after she had sent that message.
Jared chuckled when he saw Nicole's message before placing it aside. He then began to work on the tasks that had accumulated over the past few days.
Hours passed, and the second he looked up from his desk, the sky was already pitch black. Seeing this, Jared turned to the documents on his desk and thought, 'I won't be able to complete them even if I stay up all night.'
Knowing this, Jared took his phone out and gave Max a call. "Max, buy me some food."
"Yes, Mr. Johnston," Max replied.
Jared hung up, stood up, and moved around. Then, he made himself a cup of coffee before returning to his desk to continue working.
Soon after, Max gave his door a few knocks and entered. "Mr. Johnston, I've brought you some food."
"Just place it here." Jared gestured at the coffee table.
Max placed Jared's dinner on the coffee table and left the office.
After he had reviewed the document that he was holding, he went over to his coffee table to eat his dinner as he looked at the time. 'Nicole is probably done with her work by now.’
He opened his chat log with Nicole and video-called her, but as no one answered, he ended the call and began eating all by himself.
Just when he was about to finish his meal, Nicole returned his call. "Sorry, I was busy, so I missed your call."
"It's alright. Haven't you gotten off work?" Jared asked with concern.
'No, I must still arrange everything that we're going to do tomorrow. Are you having dinner?" Nicole asked, noticing the cutlery in his hand.
"Yeah, have you had yours?"
"Not yet, but I'm going to have mine after I'm done."
"You should grab something to eat first. You can always work after you've had your dinner." Jared said, concerned about her as he did not want her to work on an empty stomach.
"It's okay. I'm going to be done soon. Don't worry." Nicole smiled.
"Well, work as quickly as you can, then," he said. "I won't bother you anymore."
"Okay," Nicole uttered.
