Jared spun around and saw Nicole looking at him. “You are awake? Why didn't you get more sleep?”
‘I didn't see you in the bedroom and thought you were not feeling well again.” Nicole looked at Jared.
Jared looked at Nicole with a frown. “Wait, why would you think I was not feeling well when I'm not in the room?”
Nicole was amused at the thought of Jared not feeling well. Last night, he had wandered around alone looking for the bathroom, and she ended up helping him in.
‘What are you laughing at?" Jared asked, perplexed by the mocking look on Nicole's face.
‘Nothing, just recalling some of your strange behavior last night.” Nicole said, and erupted into a gale of laughter again.
Jared could not help but shake his head, and returned to the kitchen to get busy, with Nicole following right behind to see what he was doing.
‘What are you doing?” she asked.
“I'm cooking your favorite steak," Jared said.
‘That’s nice of you.” Nicole looked at him with her brows raised.
"Not a problem. Take it as token of gratitude for taking good care of me last night.’ Jared looked at Nicole with a smile.
"Now, go and wash up," he urged. "The steak will be ready once you're done. =
“Okay.” Nicole turned around and headed upstairs.
Jared sped up, and in no time, he got two sets of hearty breakfasts ready. After Nicole was done giving herself a rinse, she came back into the dining room. The two sat across from each other, with Jared handing her the steak which had been sliced. Seeing this, she smiled as she enjoyed his displays of chivalry. Besides, she had not eaten steak that he cooked for a long time.
Jared glanced at Nicole. "Give it a try. Haven't you been missing it for a long time?"
"No, I haven't. I could have steak every day abroad, you know?" Nicole clapped back, though she was actually happy, and did not mean what she said.
Jared knew she was lying, but he could not be bothered to expose her. He sliced the piece of steak on his plate, took a piece and chewed it in his mouth. Then, he looked at Nicole in the eye with a smile on his face.
‘What happened last night?" Jared asked while staring at Nicole.
‘Nothing. You and Harvey were drunk, while the other three of US were sober."
“Harvey was drunk too?" Jared looked at Nicole with a brow raised.
"Yeah, I had to ask Kelly to take him home," she said.
Jared was secretly delighted with the fact that he had also gotten drunk last night. Otherwise, Harvey would have asked Nicole to take him home.
“Do you have anything going on today?" Jared asked, looking at Nicole, thinking if she had nothing to do, they could catch some rest together in the villa.
‘I don't think I have anything to do. Do you?” Nicole asked, looking into Jared's eyes.
“Since you have nothing to do, why don't we cut ourselves some slack and laze around here today?” Jared stared into Nicole's eyes, unsure if she would agree.
“I'm going back to my Grandma's today. Have yourself a good rest here. Thank you very much for the breakfast,” Nicole said, placed her cutlery down, and turned around before making her way upstairs.
Looking on as Nicole went up, Jared felt a little disappointed. He began wondering if she was still mad at him.
After a few minutes, Jared walked up to her as she returned to the lower floor, fully dressed.
Puzzled, Nicole looked at him. “Don't you have to get some rest? Are you going out as well?”
