‘Okay, I will ask Max to take care of it." Jared agreed, knowing that he was the only one who could help Nicole feel better.
Otherwise, she would be left to fend for herself again.
"Mr. Johnston, thank you very much. Here's a toast to you.’ Martin looked at Jared and raised his glass. But Jared did not respond to him, as his eyes were on Nicole, who got the hint and raised her glass to Jared. “Thank you. I will drink to you.”
After saying that, she tilted the glass and was about to chug it all down when Harvey attempted to stopped her.Nicole..."
However, Jared beat him to the punch and grabbed Nicole's arm before lowering it slowly.
Then, he looked at her with affection in his eyes. "You don't have to. I'm sorry that I didn't explain everything to you. I know it
made you anxious, and it was on me because I didn't think it through properly, so I will down this glass as an apology to you."
Instead of drinking from his own glass, he took Nicole's from her hand and downed it in one go.
Nicole was touched by the sincerity in his eyes and his attitude, and at that very moment, all of the dissatisfaction that she had with him vanished.
"What a surprise today. I have never seen Mr. Johnston making amends to anyone before." Martin commented.
Harvey shot Martin a glance, his eyes filled with jealousy. Then, he grabbed his glass of wine and took a swig.
Seeing this, Kelly said, "Harvey, that is not good for your health."
"It is okay. I'm happy.” Harvey took another swig after having said what he did not mean.
Nicole did not see any of this. She was now so focused on Jared that she did not even notice that Harvey was drinking out of jealousy beside her.
The group then proceeded to chat until late night before calling it a day. Just as Jared and Nicole walked out, Max approached them and helped Jared into the car along with Nicole.
‘Max, let me know when you have gotten Jared back to the villa safely." Nicole looked at Max.
All of a sudden, Jared grabbed Nicole by the wrist and pulled her into the vehicle.
“Jared, I can't get out of the car if you're going to keep doing this," Nicole told him, but Jared was so drunk that she could not free herself from his grip no matter what she did.
"Why don't you take Mr. Johnston home instead?" Max said.
Nicole had no choice but to give Max a nod. She figured she would have to find a way to return home after getting Jared back to his villa.
"Harvey, Jared is very drunk. I must take him home. You don't have to drive me home today, as I see that you aren't really sober, either.
"Kelly, I will leave Harvey to you." Nicole looked at Kelly, who was holding a clearly inebriated Harvey.
"Okay, don't worry, I will get Harvey home safely." Kelly looked at Nicole and assured her.
Harvey, supported by Kelly, was watching Nicole. He had heard everything she had just said, but he could not find the strength to respond. Before this, Nicole had told him that she wanted him to take her home, but now that she was in Jared's car, he could only watch in a state of helplessness.
"Martin, are you okay?" Nicole looked at Martin.
"I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me. You should take care of Mr. Johnston." Martin said, as he had a driver there to pick him up.
"Well, we are leaving now."
"Max, drive." Nicole slammed the car door shut.
