Chapter 3004
Nicole sat at her desk, carefully reviewing the treatment data Martin had provided. She focused on it, determined to understand every detail.
At some point, a glass of milk appeared next to her.
"It's late; you can continue tomorrow," Jared’s voice came from nearby.
Nicole looked up and smiled. "Alright."
After she finished the milk, Nicole quickly cleaned up and prepared to rest.
Later, as Jared finished his shower, he noticed Nicole gazing outside, captivated by the night sky.
"What are you looking at?" Jared asked quietly.
"Nothing, just daydreaming," Nicole replied, turning toward Jared with a smile.
Jared gently ruffled her hair, speaking softly, "Get some rest."
"Mhm," she responded, feeling a sense of calm. She pulled the covers over herself to lie down and thought to herself,1 Things need to be done step by step, no rush.1
Jared hugged Nicole, giving her a kiss on her forehead, and softly patted her back. "Time to rest."
Nicole cozily nestled in Jared's embrace, shutting her eyes.
The following day, clouds covered the sky, suggesting rain. The somber weather appeared to dampen everyone's spirits.
Nicole got to the office ahead of time, and just as she stepped in, Lulu entered with a lack of energy. "Feels like heavy rain's on its way."
"Most likely," Nicole replied, glancing at the sky.
"A dull day brings down the mood," Lulu said with a sigh and a shrug.
