Chapter 2095
Nicole was at a loss on how to respond and so, she said," Don't sweat it. I feel much better now."
She was too focused on cracking the system during the evening and had forgotten to catch a break. However, she was all good now.
"You must rest, or I will make you," Jared threatened, noticing that Nicole had no intentions of resting.
Nicole froze, smoothed her hair awkwardly, and averted her gaze. In all her shrewdness, Nicole did not ask Jared about the methods he would employ to make her rest. She could already feel that his answer would put her in an awkward position.
Helpless, Nicole did as she was told; she laid down and began to get some shuteye. This was the safest option for her. Seeing that Nicole had settled down, Jared nodded in satisfaction and pulled the blanket over her.
"Just stay here. I'll be back soon."
After Jared had left, Nicole breathed a sigh of relief. 'Why do I feel so nervous when Jared comes near me?'
Staring at the ceiling, Nicole got lost in her thoughts.
When Jared arrived downstairs, Daniel and Gloria asked with concern, "How's Nicole?"
"She's a little tired from work. She'll be fine after some rest,"
Jared briefly explained.
"Ah well, Nicole has always been self-sufficient," Gloria said, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Don't worry, Gloria. It's just that Dillion has been up to no good recently. That's why she was a little stressed out," Jared reassured. "She'll be fine soon."
"What about Dillion?" Daniel furrowed his brows, his expression turning grim.
"Not much. He's just interested in the inheritance and assets of the Riddle family," Jared snorted coldly and walked toward the kitchen.
