Jared and Nicole then took a stroll to the restaurant near the massage parlor together and ordered their meals.
"Nicole, there's a reception tomorrow night. Will you be available?" Jared looked at Nicole and asked.
'Tomorrow night?” Nicole thought for a while.
it seems that you don't have the time," he said. "A friend of mine has extended me an invitation."
"You need a dance partner?” Nicole looked at Jared and asked.
'Well, since you don't have time, forget it." Jared said, just wanting to make sure that it would be best if the two women did not meet.
'How about trying this signature dish?" Jared asked as he cut a slice of steak and handed it to Nicole.
it doesn't taste bad at all," Nicole commented after taking a bite.
Nicole went to the R&D lab the next day as usual, while Jared drove off to his office after seeing her off. Concerned about the operation to re-capture Henry, he gave Max a call.
"How's everything going?"
'Our men have found Henry, but among the people who had escorted him back here before, there was only one survivor," Max reported with a heavy heart.
'Offer the family our condolences and a sum as compensation. After that, bring Henry back as soon as possible!" Jared bellowed.

Jared hung up as Claus walked in. "Mr. Johnston, the operations in the Beacon factory is now back on track. There is nothing unusual happening as of now."
"You're back just in time,' Jared said. "There's something I need you to investigate on."

"Our previous contact had failed to do his job. Have you found any potential candidates?" Joyce asked the restaurant owner, her eyes brimming with wickedness.

"Have you made the arrangements as to when you're going to do it?" Joyce asked.
"No, not yet. I am waiting for your orders," the owner humbly replied.
"This time around, we must not employ the same methods. We ought to change our approach. I'd like more than to make Nicole's life a living hell," Joyce said viciously.
"Yes, I understand," the man uttered.
"Remember, you must succeed at all costs. Otherwise, you won't see me ever again." Joyce glared at him with her dark eyes, her gaze so piercing that they looked as though they could penetrate a hole through him.
"Yes, ma'am," he said.
