My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2858

Chapter 2858

If it was not something important, Jared would not have gone out of his way to work overtime.

"We need to modify a proposal," Jared explained. "Recently, we've been dealing with a project abroad and we've encountered some practical operational issues. That's why we're planning to make some alterations to the proposal."

"I can help too." Nicole nodded in understanding, knowing everyone in Johnston Group was working overtime because they did not wish to put their progress on hold.

Jared then glanced over at Nicole and passed her a tub of creamed spinach. "Just wait for me."

Nicole had been working the entire day, so he did not want her taking on more than she needed to do for the day.

"You don't have to worry about me. Perhaps we can get it over with sooner than later with my help." Nicole smiled.

Nodding, Jared brushed the stray strands of Nicole’s hair aside. "Let's have dinner first."

While having dinner, Nicole could not help but think about the project Jared was working to fix. The modification of the proposal required Jared's personal involvement, so it was safe to assume that it was one of great significance. And due to its degree of importance, they could not afford to make any mistakes, especially in a moment as critical as this.

Unable to brush the feeling that something was amiss, Nicole casually asked Jared, "Have you conducted the investigation?"

Jared understood what she was thinking about the instant he darted his eyes over at her.

Then, his gaze softened as he replied, "I've arranged for someone to investigate it, but we haven't gotten any results yet."

"Okay," Nicole nodded, relieved that they were at least looking into it.

After dinner, the two of them walked over to the desk area.

After she had gotten a good look at the dozens of proposals spread out on Jared's desk as well as the ones Max would bring in from time to time, Nicole knew that everyone in Johnston Group, regardless of the department they were in, must be busy. Everything and everyone had been consolidated in this very space, awaiting Jared's final modifications and decisions before they had the green light to proceed.

"Let's start." Nicole picked one of the proposals up and began to study it carefully, her gaze intense and serious.

Grateful for her presence, Jared picked another document up and did the same.

Just like that, the couple sifted through the documents for the next few hours. Although this dragged on until eleven in the night, they were still not done yet.
