Chapter 1314
"She's busy with her own ventures, so she doesn't have time to waste." Jared looked at Fiorella and replied without a thought.
Fiorella smiled. 'Seems like their relationship is on shaky grounds. I guess this might be my chance.'
"Miss Riddle just got back and she's already busy with work. I heard she sees Mr. Martin rather often too. It looks like she's more of a workaholic than I am. If I leave the country for a long time, I'd want to spend some time with my fiance as soon as I return." Fiorella said as she attempted to convey some hints to Jared through her gaze.
"The Beacon project is really important to her, and that's why she pays more attention to it," Jared said. 'It really seems that she hasn't really spent much time with me after she came back. If she isn't with Mrs. Wallace Sr., she'd be busy with her work. If Fiorella didn't remind me, I'd probably have overlooked that fact.'
"How's the project going, Miss Fisher?" Jared asked.
"It's doing fine, but Castor is next to useless. He's not even as good as my assistant. I think you should hire someone who's more capable, Mr.
Johnston. It's best if you can have a look at it when you're free," Fiorella suggested.
"Okay, I'll consider that," Jared replied. 'So Castor really is hopeless. I've given him chances, but he doesn't seem to be making good use of them.'
"Mr. Johnston, it's already afternoon. Why don't you treat me to lunch?" She looked at Jared.
He did not wish to agree, but he thought about the update that she gave him back then, so he responded with a smile. "Sure, where would you like to eat?"
"Blue Whale Restaurant?" Fiorella suggested.
Jared paused before answering, No problem. Can we leave after I'm done with this?"
"Of course," she replied. ’I have to use the bathroom too."
Fiorella obviously did not mind waiting, as she had already gotten the chance to have another meal with Jared.
"Okay."
The moment Fiorella left his office, Jared sent Nicole a text message. [ How are things going? Do you want to have lunch together?]
[It's fine. The people you've hired are busy now, so I don't have to be there. I'm almost arriving at my grandma's place already.]
[Okay, I'll pick you up at night]
Jared wanted to know Nicole's whereabouts to ensure that she would not appear in Blue Whale Restaurant. Otherwise, she would definitely be locked into another misunderstanding with him again.
He quickly settled his tasks and walked out, and as Fiorella was heading toward him at the same time, she hurried over the moment she saw him leaving. "Done with your work?"
"Yeah, let's go," Jared said, after which he quickly entered the elevator, with Fiorella followed suit.
Then, Jared drove them to Blue Whale Restaurant, where they sat down at the table they had previously occupied.
This time around, Fiorella called the waitress over to order without waiting for Jared to do so.
