Chapter 1282
Jared grabbed his glass and struck it against Nicole's with a clink, after which he looked at her with affectionately. "You are wrong. I just like being your unsung hero."
One minute, the two of them were arguing, and by the next, they started to act all lovey-dovey. Everyone at the scene was stunned, amazed by a man as smooth as Jared himself.
"Okay, let's get dinner started. Everyone has been waiting." Jared signaled to Nicole with his eyes that everyone was watching.
Nicole quickly sat back down and said, "Sorry to keep everyone waiting."
Harvey snapped out of his daze. "At least you know."
Nicole shot Harvey a glare. 'Who said anything to you?'
"Okay, let's get started." Martin smiled as he noticed that everyone was at ease, restoring the hospitable atmosphere that was there before.
"Nicole, this is good. Have some." Harvey said, about to serve a dish to Nicole.
But before Nicole could say anything, Jared chimed in. "She doesn't like that."
Then, he scooped a chunk from another dish and placed it directly onto Nicole's plate. "This one is good. It is what you have always wanted to eat."
"Yea, yea, yea, Mr. Johnston ordered this dish specifically for you." Martin echoed from the side.
It was Martin's idea to host Nicole today, but after he had informed Jared about it, everything became Jared’s call. From the venue to every dish on the table, everything had been carefully selected by Jared.
"This is not the only dish, but most of the dishes were ordered by Mr. Johnston." Martin looked at Nicole.
What he meant was self-explanatory, and everyone in the room understood it.
This made Harvey very upset. 'Had Martin not said that he had planned the reception, this scenario would not have happened, let alone an opportunity for Jared to show off. Since Jared was the one who ordered all the food, what is the point of serving them to Nicole? It was just an icing on the cake for her.'
Harvey picked the wine dispenser up and refilled Nicole's glass. "Let's drink, Nicole."
She glanced at Harvey and raised her glass thereafter. "To ourselves."
To ourselves."
Harvey placed his glass down as soon as someone knocked on the door of their private room.
It was then that Martin said, "Come in."
But once a man walked in with a cake in his hands, Martin asked, "Are you in the wrong room? Nobody celebrates birthdays here."
"I ordered it," Harvey said.
All eyes were on Harvey, as the man with the cake walked up to him. "Sir, this is the cake you've ordered."
