Chapter 1358

"You're not going to let me in?” Jared asked upon noticing that the receptionist had frozen.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'll lead the way," she said.

It was then that Kelly walked over and spotted Jared.

Upon noticing him, she quickly approached him and said, "Mr. Johnston, what are you doing here?"

"He's here to meet Miss Riddle," the receptionist reported to Kelly.

"Sir, Miss Riddle is in there. I'll bring you there." Kelly politely led Jared to Nicole's office.

Kelly knocked on the office door and said, "Mr. Johnston is here, Miss Riddle."

The moment Nicole heard the word 'Mr. Johnston', she lifted her head at once and turned to the door. At the very next second, Jared appeared before her in the office.

"What are you doing here?" she asked.

"Didn't we agree that I'll be picking you up after work? Did you forget about it?" Jared walked up to her and sat down in front of Nicole.

Kelly closed the door carefully and left.

"I did not forget about it. It's just that, I didn't know it was time to go home already." Nicole replied.

'What is keeping you occupied at this hour?" Jared queried her again.

"Nothing. What would you like to eat?" Nicole asked while she was shutting her computer down.

'What do you feel like having? It's my treat." Jared replied.

"Let's go to the Blue Whale Restaurant. I'm craving some desserts." Nicole replied.

"Sure."

After grabbing her backpack, Nicole stood up and walked out of her office with Jared.

"Kelly, we're leaving now. Don't forget to check everything before you leave, ’ Nicole reminded Kelly.

"Don't worry, Miss Riddle. Drive safe, Mr. Johnston." Kelly said, bidding them goodbye.

Jared then drove Nicole to the Blue Whale Restaurant, where they sat at their usual table.

Nicole proceeded to order a dessert and some of her favorite dishes, while Jared kept to his usual order.

'The design of your office looks pretty good," Jared said, breaking the silence with a compliment.

"Thank you. It's all thanks to you that we have such a pretty office." Nicole took a spoonful of dessert, and as the sweetness filled her tongue, she instantly felt better, alleviating the stress that she had while she was still in her office.

'Still, I must say that I've noticed that it isn't that spacious. Should I invest some money to expand it?" Jared asked, his eyes filled with nothing but genuine intentions of helping her.
