Chapter 1706
When Jared saw Nicole approaching him to discuss the matter, he felt a lot better.
He could tell that Nicole had no feelings for Ike, and thus, he accepted the request. "Alright. Since Nicole had agreed, I have no further comments."
Ike was overjoyed. "Thank you, Mr. Johnston. Thank you, Nicole!"
Yet, it was then that Nicole began to scrutinize Ike.
He used to enjoy his freedom, and no matter how many investors approached him, he would never sway. This time around, he actually made a request on his own to join Jared's team. Although something smelled fishy, Nicole still needed such talent.
Throughout the whole meal, Ike enjoyed it happily. He even discussed the issue of artificial intelligence with Nicole from time to time.
This made Jared jealous in the process. "Let's not talk about work while eating."
"O-okay..." Ike agreed, whereupon he quickly finished his meal.
Soon, dinner was done. Ike waved and bade both Nicole and Jared goodbye. The both of them watched as Ike drove away in his car before they got into their own.
Jared then added, "He actually requested to join us. That isn't his usual self, is it?"
Nicole was silent for a moment. "But he’s a research maniac. Therefore, I understand him too. Just take that as a reference I suppose."
"Yeah." Jared uttered, and did not comment further.
The both of them were enjoying their last moment for the day together, and soon, Jared said to Max in a soft voice," Bring us to the beach for a night drive."
"Got it." Max nodded and drove to the beachside.
Soon, the car arrived at the coastline, and Max opened the hood thoughtfully, allowing the gentle sea breeze to blow into the car.
Nicole felt relaxed upon being caressed by the wind. That feeling one got whenever they went for a drive with their lover was indeed amazing.
Looking at how relaxed Nicole was, Jared smiled affectionately. "So, do you like it?"
"I do. It's so rare for me to be this relaxed." Nicole beam while the necklace she was wearing revealed itself.
