Chapter 1213
Harvey lost his appetite as Nicole had dissed him. He was just looking out for her, and yet his courtesy was repaid with a jibe.
As she was swiping, a piece of news caught her attention. It was then that she placed her utensils down and became engrossed in the article.
Harvey noticed that she had stopped eating and had placed all of her attention on the news. In response, he shook his head in total helplessness and jeered, ’You're so concerned the happenings in our country that you don't even bother to eat anymore."
Harvey stared at Nicole, and upon noticing that the expression on her face was something other than the usual, he asked, "What is wrong with you? Don't tell me it's another headline?"
Nicole suddenly stood up and walked out while holding her phone in hand. Seeing this, Harvey and Kelly were stunned, and they quickly chased after her.
"Miss Riddle, where are you going?" Kelly asked.
"Nicole, what is going on?’ Harvey asked as he was running after her.
"See for yourself." Nicole passed her phone to Harvey.
"Kelly, quickly book a flight ticket home for me. I want the earliest flight possible." Nicole ordered.
"Noted." A baffled Kelly took her phone out to book Nicole the ticket.
"A fire broke out at the Beacon Company's factory with eight injured!" Harvey read out in disbelief.
Hearing Harvey's words, Kelly looked at him in shock. "What did you say? The factory is on fire?"
"That's what the news reported." Harvey looked at Kelly, unsmiling.
"Miss Riddle, do I book tickets for three?” Kelly asked Nicole.
"Just book mine."
"That won't do! We're coming with you," Harvey told Nicole in a solemn tone of voice.
"That's right. Miss Riddle. I wish to go and check it out as well." Kelly said, nervous.
"The both of you won't be of much help back there. It's better for all of you to stay here and help. I'll go back and see if it's serious. If it's not, I'll be
back soon." Nicole walked into the car as soon as she was done explaining.
"Okay then." Kelly gave Nicole a look of disappointment.
"I'll send you off." Harvey sat in the passenger seat.
Nicole shot him a glance. Then, she floored the accelerator and made her way to the airport.
As they pulled up to the parking lot, Nicole looked at Harvey and said, ’You don't have to usher me in."
"Alright, we'll be here awaiting your return." Harvey stared at Nicole intently.
