"Don't you worry, Miss Fisher. Allowing him to take over is just a formality. You know how busy I am right now, and surely he's able to handle a few minor tasks. If there's something that he is incapable of doing, you can always come to me.
"Actually, I'm still working with you on this project. There will be nothing important to take care of in the beginning, and that’s why he'll be monitoring it for now. When I'm done with my work, I'll be taking over. Do this for me, would you?" Jared looked at Fiorella.
Fiorella drew a deep breath. Every time she looked at Castor, she would think of Jared, leaving her in a bad mood, but as Jared had asked her to do him this favor, she could only acquiesce. "Fine, I won't argue, as you seem pretty earnest about our partnership. I'll just work harder for now, but I'll make this one thing clear to you. When you're done with your work, you must take over at once, or else I will be stretching my limits.”
‘I always knew that you're an understanding person, Miss Fisher. I can't, and won't allow myself to mistreat you, so I'm going to bring you out to dinner tonight. Let's take it as a celebration for the start of our project." Jared smiled at her.
"It's not every day you that you treat others to dinner, Mr. Johnston. I'm going to have a feast tonight." Fiorella finally let out a smile.
Jared looked at Castor and said, "You'll be coming with US too. We must keep Miss. Fisher company, alright?”
"Sure," Castor responded respectfully.
Fiorella glanced over at Castor and thought, 'Castor's pretty cute, but he's just nowhere close to Jared's league.’
“Let's meet tonight then.” Fiorella smiled and looked at Jared before leaving his office.
When Castor saw her leaving, he left in a hurry as well.
"Mr. Johnston, are you really going to buy Miss Fisher dinner tonight?" Max asked, unable to understand Jared's actions.
He could tell that Fiorella was into Jared, and as such, how could Jared himself not know this?
"You know her. She's going to pester me every day if I don't treat her to this meal." Jared sighed with defeat. ‘This is all Henry's fault. I'm going to kill him when I find him.’
"Don't just stand there. Book US a restaurant,” Jared ordered Max.
"Yes, sir,” Max said and proceeded to do as he was told.
After that, Jared proceeded to review his documents again.
In the sea view villa, Mrs. Wallace Sr. had begun to miss Nicole, and so, she got Tia to give Nicole a call.
Nicole walked out of her office to answer the phone. “What's up, Tia?”
"Miss Riddle, Mrs. Wallace Sr. really misses you. She just asked if you're doing alright over there.” Tia's voice rang from the other end of the call.
"I'm doing okay, so just tell grandma that she doesn't have to worry about me. I'll drop you a video call later." Nicole hung up right after she was done speaking.
"Okay, bye.” Tia uttered.
"Bye-bye." Nicole hurried back to the office to continue working after hanging up.
Time flew, and in the blink of an eye, night fell. Nicole was having her dinner when she suddenly remembered what she had said during call in the afternoon. With this in mind, she gave Tia a video call right away.
Tia knew that Nicole was going to call her; she had been keeping an eye on the phone after she was done working. When she noticed that
Nicole was calling her, she answered her phone at once. “Hello, Miss Riddle.”
"Where's grandma, Tia? Didn't you say that she misses me? Where is she?" Nicole looked at Tia.
"She's right beside me. Here.” Tia placed the phone in Mrs. Wallace's hand.
"Mrs. Wallace, you missed Miss Riddle, right? You can talk to her now." Tia gestured at Mrs. Wallace Sr. to look at the phone and speak to Nicole.
