Chapter 1684
Nicole raised her eyebrows. "Right. You'd be the one to know everything."
"Of course. You're my number one priority. I'd like to know everything about you as soon as possible," Jared said in an assertive tone of voice.
Nicole smiled. "Don't worry. It wasn’t me who got beaten to pulp. It was Chloe. Her face should still be hurting right now."
Jared smiled, though he was struck with a pang of regret, as he did not get to witness it due to work holding him back, which had led to him waiting for her outside of the filming set. "It must've been very interesting."
"It was very natural." Nicole curled up her lips.
Jared casually wrapped his arms around her. "Since it's the weekend, do come over and stay at my place."
Nicole was alerted. "No, I'm very exhausted today and I have to film tomorrow too..."
'Every time I go to his place, I would be eaten alive. I would rather go home and get some well-deserved rest,' she thought.
"But I miss you very much. You've been heading straight to the filming set after school recently. What can I do?" Jared looked at Nicole with a set of pitiful eyes.
And in the end, Nicole caved in. "Okay, have it your way. You
may drop the act now. I'll just go..."
In exchange for peace, it was all Nicole could offer.
Meanwhile, the crew had already been long gone as Chloe proceeded to leave the set. Her face was swollen, and she had thick layers of makeup on before she could walk out in public. Flashbacks of the incident that happened earlier in the day came back to her, and that was when her eyes darkened. Chloe had checked tomorrow's airport scene, and though she had just two to three scenes with Nicole, she wanted to use that opportunity to get revenge.
She motioned for her manager as she thought about it. "Go. Hurry up and do as I say!"
'I will get my revenge on you! I've suffered enough of your bullying today!'
'Chloe, you really wanted to do this?’ Her manager looked at her with uncertainty in her eyes as Chloe spoke to herself.
"Okay." Jared nodded and walked her to the door.
Then, Max turned around and asked, "Mr. Johnston, where are we going?"
Jared smiled. "I'm not going anywhere, I’m going to go watch her film."
Jared would feel uneasy if he did not enter the building to observe her while she was filming her scenes. He was worried that Lloyd might pull some moves on her.
"I thought Miss Riddle didn't want you to go in?" Max asked, as Jared had agreed that he would not go.
"I can go in if I want to," Jared argued.
He was, after all, one of the investors of this drama series, and so as long as he wanted to, no one would be able to stop him. With that said, Jared got out of the car as soon as he had spoken. Max then proceeded to park the car and followed behind Jared's footsteps.
Nicole had just arrived at the dressing room and was putting on some makeup when her phone rang.
