Chapter 2983
After refreshing herself, Nicole made her way to the hotel's breakfast area. She chose a light yet nourishing meal and was on her way back to her room when she suddenly sensed someone's presence. Reacting swiftly, she stopped, narrowly avoiding a collision and a potential breakfast disaster.
Nicole's gaze landed on the man before her as she stepped back, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.
"Sorry, I didn't see you there. I almost bumped into you," the man offered an apology.
Nicole gave him a brief, indifferent glance and shook her head, signaling that it was no big deal. She then maneuvered around him with her tray, gracefully exiting the space.
The man watched Nicole leave, a shadow of intrigue passing over his eyes. He subtly slipped a button-like item into his pocket and resumed selecting his breakfast, masking any hint of the earlier incident.
Meanwhile, Nicole lingered near the restaurant's entrance, discreetly keeping an eye on the man. She had caught him putting something into his own pocket, and though its nature was uncertain, she was sure it was meant for her - possibly something dangerous, or a tracking device.
'What was that about? Why was he trying to plant something on me?' she thought, wary.
Deciding it was best to retreat, Nicole headed back to her room with her breakfast in tow.
Upon entering, she found Jared already awake. Noting the tray in her hands, he realized she had fetched breakfast." You could have eaten downstairs," he remarked gently.
Nicole offered a light smile. "I woke up early and wanted to explore a bit. Besides, I find having breakfast in our room more pleasant."
They settled near the couch, with Nicole placing the tray on the coffee table. Sharing a warm smile, they began their meal.
"The food here is quite good," Nicole commented contentedly.
"This hotel is one of the most renowned in this area..." Jared started to fill her in on some details about their location.
Nicole nodded, chiming in as Jared spoke. They wrapped up their breakfast in no time.
