Chapter 1365
"Alright, I'll see you in an hour." Jared hung up after he had spoken.
Then, he went to his desk and sat down, not wanting to continue working. He proceeded to turn his computer on and began researching on manned flying cars.
The results showed that there were many research attempts that had failed, so he carefully perused and analyzed the details. Soon after, Jared looked up and saw that an hour passed in a blink of an eye. Seeing that, he immediately turned his computer off and walked out.
Jared then rushed to the Golden Coast Building where he parked his car before heading upstairs, 'Nicole must've been waiting for me. She might be mad at me when she sees me later.'
Jared poked his head into the R&D lab and noticed that most of the lights had been turned off except for those in Nicole's quarters, where they were still on. He walked over to the door of the office, expecting Nicole to be sitting there, waiting for him. Instead, a different scenario played out.
"Are you still working, Nicole?" Jared walked in and asked.
Nicole lifted her head the instant she heard Jared's voice. "Why are you here so soon? There's a bit left. I think you'll have to wait for a bit."
She motioned Jared to take a seat, as she had wanted to complete her work before going home.
Jared walked in slowly and looked at her, 'Did she not realize that more than an hour has passed?'
"Nicole, is your task that important?" Jared asked while looking at her.
"It's not that important. I mean, there's still a bit left and I wish to complete all of it today," Nicole replied without looking at him.
In response, Jared walked over, pulled her up, and walked her out of the office, prompting Nicole to eye him in shock.
"What are you doing? Let me go!” she protested.
"Because it's not as important, there's no need to rush and waste another minute of your time on it for today." Jared firmed his grasp on her and pulled her away from the R&D lab.
"Can you at least let me close the door?" she asked.
"Kelly is still there, so there's no need for you to worry," he said.
Jared maintained his grasp on Nicole until they had reached his car." Fasten your seatbelt."
"Are we going back to the villa?" Nicole looked at him and asked while fastening her seatbelt.
"No."
"No? It's already so late. Where are we going?" Nicole looked at him with a slight frown because she did not know where they were going.
Without giving her a forthcoming reply, Jared maintained his silence and sped off to a certain direction.
Noticing this, she issued a sigh of defeat. 'What is he trying to do?'
"Jared, I'm exhausted from work today. I don't have the energy to mess around with you. If there's nothing else to do, please send me back so that I can get some sleep." Nicole looked at Jared with tired eyes.
