Nicole couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and glance at Harvey.’ Can this guy stop adding fuel to the fire?’
Before Nicole could say anything to him, however, Jared spoke first. "There is no need for that Nicole doesn't like drinking soup."
As he spoke he grabbed the pot of coffee brought over by another server. "Here are the coffee beans. I just handed some to the restaurant for our coffee. You can try some of it.”
Unbeknownst to all of them, Jared had brought her favorite coffee beans, causing Nicole's eyes to light up.
In spite of the fact that she was a little unhappy, the thought of his intentions and actions made her bow her head and say,
"Thank you. “
Harvey, seeing that Nicole was still holding Jared's cup of coffee, froze. ‘This Jared is really crafty. He even brought coffee beans to the restaurant.’
It was at this moment that Nicole took a sip of the coffee. The taste was mellow, and was not as flavorful as the homebrewed coffee that Jared had always made her.
Jared, who seemed to have read her thoughts, smiled adoringly. "It seems that I have pampered you. I'll brew some coffee for you when we get back."
As soon as these words left his mouth, Nicole's face flushed. 'Why is he being so cheesy?’
"Let's head home and talk about it,” she responded calmly.
Jared, upon registering her coyness, did not continue to tease her, but whenever the two of them spoke to each other, it seemed like they were flirting. As they did so, Harvey was left aside, feeling totally embarrassed. He looked crestfallen and did not wish to speak to anyone anymore.
Kelly noticed that Harvey had lowered his head in frustration while having his meal, and could not help but feel that the situation was a little distressing to him. ‘If I had known that it would make Harvey so uncomfortable, I would not have agreed to bring Nicole with us for dinner...’
With their plates close to being emptied, Jared proceeded to ask her about business, "Are you going to Ike's R&D lab later?"
Nicole nodded her head. She had decided to forego the ill feeling she had as she chatted with him about business, “Ike took me to the technology exhibition this morning, and I saw someone developing a chip for the manned flying car.”
Jared knew that Nicole had made progress, but his eyes began to narrow. He had his complete attention on the fact that Ike had brought her to the exhibition. His eyes darted over to Ike, who felt a tinge of guilt at once. Even if he had something to say, he did not wish to risk a confrontation with Jared.
"I got the news two days ago, so I brought Nicole there to have a look,” Ike said, pretending as if he had no intention on hitting on her.
In response, Jared issued a cold snort and said, "Really? Those who do not know you well enough would have thought that you were intentionally asking Nicole out to see the exhibition."
As soon as those words exited his mouth, Jared's eyes turned dark. Ike immediately looked at Harvey with a frown and said, "Mr. Ellison here thinks I have plans for Miss Riddle? Wouldn't it be more obvious that you were the one who does, as you were the one who invited Miss Riddle for dinner?"
‘Don't blame me as you were the one who exposed me!’
Jared's expression became even more brooding as he watched the other two men bickering with one another. 'These men around her are chumps!
Nicole quickly became overwhelmed with the cacophonous scene between the three men. She stood up abruptly and said, "I'm done eating. I've got something to do in the afternoon, so I'll leave first.”
"Miss Riddle! Wait up!" Ike noticed Nicole leaving and immediately followed.
Nicole was going to his R&D lab, so he did not wish to pass on the opportunity.
Naturally, Harvey stood up and was about to follow them when Jared held him back and said, "My girlfriend has something to do, so we'll be leaving. This meal is on me.”
Jared made it clear to Harvey that he was not following them.
