Chapter 1356
As soon as Harvey had walked in, he quickly took his clothes off.
"Do you have to be in such a rush?" Nicole teased as he watched him.
"Yes, I have to. These clothes aren't comfortable at all. It's too hot and suffocating to be in them," Harvey said, and tossed them onto the couch in disgust.
Then, he walked up to Nicole's desk and sat down.
"We can't get rid of these clothes yet. Before we're done taking down the mastermind behind this whole incident, you'll have to continue acting like an average Joe in public," Nicole informed.
"What? Continue acting? Are you kidding me?" Harvey asked as his eyes widened.
"Didn't you say that you wanted to help me? It has only been a day and you're regretting it already?" Nicole retorted, using his words against him.
Harvey wanted to retain his image. How could he go back on his promise, especially one that he had made for Nicole? Thus, he would have to stick to her until the very end.
"I'm not. I've never regretted helping you out." Harvey looked at Nicole while stifling his true feelings about all of this.
"Anyway, I've been sitting here for the whole day. Do you have some coffee?” Harvey requested.
"Yeah, hold on," she said.
Once she was done speaking, she went and brewed him some coffee.
As he drank the coffee which Nicole had made for him, Harvey began to feel at ease.
While Harvey was drinking, Nicole took the chance to ask her, "You guys went out so that you could meet Ms. Jo?"
"Yes." Harvey took a sip from his mug and replied.
"Well then, did you manage to take a picture?" Nicole looked at Harvey earnestly, waiting for him to show her the picture.
"I've just sat down and relaxed for a bit. Can't you let me take my time and savor the taste of this coffee which you've made me?" Harvey said, deliberately creating suspense by not telling her what he had discovered right away.
In response, she could only let him take his time, as she was the one who had requested his help in the first place. "Fine. Take your time. I'll make some more if you want."
After all, it was just a cup of coffee, and for her to make one would not be a problem for her at all. If Harvey wanted it, Nicole would make him as many cups as he desired.
Hearing Nicole's words, Harvey looked at her in surprise. "Ah, so this is how it feels to be needed by someone. Anyway, I don't think I've got the space for that much coffee, as I had quite a lot of beer moments ago. Can you store this coffee for later? You can make them for me the next time I'm here."
Nicole stared at him and thought, 'How clever of him.'
Then, she replied, "Sure. Now, can I have a look at the picture?"
"To be honest with you, I don't have the photo. But I can confidently tell you who Ms. Jo is." Harvey looked at her, his face oozing with confidence.
Nicole frowned and looked at him with her brows raised. "What do you mean?"
