Chapter 1401
The sudden confession made Nicole choke, up and she fell silent thereafter. It was only after Jared had seen her lying down and doing what she was supposed to be doing that he went on to handle his work affairs remotely through his phone.
He was actually quite busy, but he was also worried about Nicole, and that was why he would rather stay here to accompany her.
Seeing this, Nicole had no other option but to turn her laptop on to do her work. After much thought, she sent a message to Harvey.
As of now, Harvey was the only person capable of getting through this curveball.
As expected, Max hurried into the room not long after. "Mr.
Johnston, about the company meeting in the afternoon, it would be best if you show up..."
Max closed in on Jared's ears to whisper the rest of the sentence to him. Nicole could not hear it clearly but she had an inkling of what the tactic that Harvey had employed was. As both sides were collaborating, the employees at the company would definitely be overwhelmed if Harvey made a fuss.
Unexpectedly, Jared shot Nicole a glare after having heard everything that Max had said. His gaze went on to give her an inexplicable chill deep within.
'Why is he looking at me like that? As if... He knew that she had done it! But wait, it would not be that strange now, would it?' Nicole thought to herself.
In truth, Jared was not able to read her thoughts, and he could not even if he wanted to. Ultimately, he kept mum and decided not to utter a word about it. He had already stayed here for close to two hours, and as Nicole was adamant about wanting him to leave, he could only respect her wish and leave. In addition, he feared that something had and would go wrong if he did not.
"Get well soon. I'll come back later." Jared's darted his eyes at her, after which he took his coat and left.
