Chapter 2272
Judging from her expression, it seemed like Nicole already knew plenty about the situation.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Nicole was a little upset, wondering if Jared did not trust her enough to tell her.
Jared stretched out his hands and signaled her to come over.
Nicole gave Jared a side eye and stood still. Her stance seemed to say, 'Don't bother calling me over if you're not willing to explain things.'
Jared shook his head and sighed. Then, he approached Nicole and pulled her down to sit on the sofa beside him.
"It wasn't intentional. I just felt like it was unnecessary to bring it up." As a matter of fact, Jared did not want to put Nicole in a difficult position. He did not expect her to still find out in the end.
"Johnston Group is about to be in trouble, and you think it's unnecessary for me to know?" Nicole got angrier. She thought, 'I see. So, he never thought of sharing his burden with me.'
Jared grabbed her hands and said gently, "Don't worry. No one has the power to ruin Johnston Group yet."
"Even if it won't collapse, this problem will cause a huge loss to the company if immediate action isn’t taken. How can
you be this calm?" Nicole frowned. 'What's he trying to do?'
"I've asked Max to handle it. It'll be taken care of soon." Jared was calm and seemed to be confident about this whole matter.
He hoped that Nicole would stay out of the problem, no matter how serious it was. If this were to involve Lawrence, how would Nicole take it?
Nicole bit her lip and replied, sounding annoyed, "Are you worried it'll put me in a difficult position?"
Jared smiled. "I think your presence here speaks loudly of your stance."
That made Jared feel touched and satisfied. At least, he knew that Nicole would stand by him, no matter how difficult the situation was.
