"No, I'm not even exaggerating. I think I made a mistake earlier. You must be the most capable person I've met so far," Ike praised as he looked at her with his piercing black eyes.
‘Itis said that the eyes are the most honest; he thought.
Kelly could not bear to hear those words anymore, and so did Harvey Ellison, who was seated at corner facing her.He proceeded to stand up and interrupt the flirting between the two. "Ike, I'm not making fun of you. I get that your foundation is so huge, but do you really not have a single expert who can pull this off?”
Ike turned around and looked at Harvey. "To be honest, even though we do suffer from a lack of professionals, there is nobody who could give Nicole a run for her money. She easily outclasses any other expert if we are going to make a comparison."
"Oh, if you put it that way, yes. There is only one Nicole in this world after all. I doubt anyone could surpass her capabilities, well, perhaps those who aren't even born yet,” Harvey said and gave Nicole a smile.
As Nicole was seated on the chair, the two men stood hovering over her like two towers glaring at one another. Feeling very uncomfortable in the middle, she stood up and walked over to Kelly, pretending to make conversation with her.
"How's the organization of the data that has been handed over to you?” Nicole asked Kelly.
"Data?" Kelly looked at Nicole with her head tilted. "She didn't ask me to sort the data out.’
With Harvey and Ike looking at Kelly at the same time, Nicole quickly gave Kelly a wink.
Having understood what Nicole had meant, Kelly replied, "Ah, I’m still organizing them. There are some places I can't understand. Could you please have a look at it with me, Miss Riddle?"
"Okay. Let me take a look," Nicole said, pretending to be interested in assisting Kelly in her work.
Upon noticing that Nicole was going to be busy again, Ike tactfully said, ° Go ahead. I've been away for a while now. I think it's time for me to go back to work as well.”
"Okay." Nicole raised her head and glanced at him when she heard that Ike was about to leave.
"Great, I just happen to want a cup of coffee. I'm coming with you," Harvey said, urging Ike to leave and making it clear to the latter that they should not dally around.
Then, he smiled and walked out of Nicole's office together with Ike.
After the two men had left, both Nicole and Kelly breathed a huge sigh of relief. "It's about time they leave.”
"Kelly, do you feel like there was an elephant in the room?" Nicole looked at Kelly with a brow raised.
Kelly looked at Nicole and said, "Yes, I sensed it. The tension in the air was palpable."
‘What do those two take me for?" Nicole sighed.
She stood up from Kelly's seat and returned to her own, after which she calmed herself down and started working again.
Harvey then walked in with coffee. The office was quiet, barring the sound of the keyboard as Nicole typed away. Harvey glanced at her, and saw that she was so focused on her work that she did not notice that Harvey had walked in. This left him with no other option but to return to his former position and sit down quietly as he watched her. He did not dare to disturb her.
Nicole worked until noon came around. Feeling a little fatigued, she stretched her waist and looked at the time. "It's noon already?"
Harvey immediately lifted his head when he heard Nicole asking him about the time. 'When did I fall asleep sitting?’
"Let's go have lunch.” Harvey stood up and looked at Nicole, stretching his body a little bit.
"Let's go, then." Nicole glanced at Harvey, and then at Kelly. "Kelly, let's go and have lunch."
“Alright.”
