"It'll be great if it could be done as soon as possible." Nicole looked at Jared and smirked.
‘Okay, I'll make the arrangements right away,” he replied.
"Thanks in advance," she said.
"You should get back to work. I'll leave you to it then.” Nicole said, as she had completed what she had intended to do there, and did not want to stay and bother Jared.
"Why? You're just going to hurry off once you've settled your business here? " Jared asked upon noticing that she was about to leave.
"No, I’m just worried that if I stay here, I'll be bothering you while you work." Nicole looked at him and explained.
"Nonsense. I'll be even more efficient if you stay.” Jared looked at her affectionately and smiled
Nicole gave it some thought, 'I don't really have anything to do right now, and since he has already asked, I'll just stay here and accompany him."
"Okay then. But it'll bore me to just sit here and do nothing. Do you have a computer which I can use?" she asked.
"Yes, there is. I have a laptop here, you can have it.” Jared reached into the desk drawer beside him and took a laptop out.
Then, he passed it to Nicole.
Nicole took the laptop from him, went back to the same spot, and sat down. After she had turned it on, her slender fingers began darting across the keyboard in continuous fashion.
As she did, Jared would look at Nicole from time to time. ‘Even though she’s just sitting there, she's as gorgeous as ever.'
Nonetheless, Nicole did not know that Jared was looking at her. The entirety of her being was focused on the screen as she was gleaning for information about Joyce, and after hours of searching, she finally found what she was looking for.
‘It seems that she really did return home earlier. In that case, the person I bumped into the other day might be her.’
After thinking about it for a moment, Nicole quickly searched for the latest updates about Joyce, but to no avail. It was as if Joyce had vanished from the internet altogether. Some of the applications which Joyce would frequent back then had no records of her login history for a long time either.
Nicole frowned as she sat still. ‘How am I going to investigate further from here?’
When Jared got up to make some coffee during his break, he noticed Nicole locked in a state of bafflement on the couch.
With his mug in hand, he walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Who is giving you such a massive headache?"
Nicole noticed Jared but her eyes were fixed on his cup of coffee. "That coffee you have with you, could you give it to me?"
Jared chuckled, "Sure, take it."
He passed the mug in his hand to her and turned around to make himself a new cup. After that, he returned.
"Tell me, what is it that is stressing you out?" Jared asked.
"I'm digging into what I can find about Joyce, but she hasn't been on the internet for a while. And now, it's practically impossible to get any updates about her on the internet,” Nicole said, telling him everything about her investigation.
"You want to find the most recent updates about Joyce?" Jared raised his eyebrows and looked at Nicole.
"Yeah."
Nicole's eyes suddenly lit up. "Why did he ask me such a question? Does he know something?’
"Jared Johnston, do you know anything about Joyce?” Nicole's eyes narrowed at Jared.
"That's right. I do know a few things about her,” Jared answered without hesitation. "My men have found the place that Joyce is holed up in.”
"You've found her? Where is she?" Nicole asked as she looked at him in disbelief.
"She's residing at a private mansion in the suburbs. It's a secluded place, so no one can gain easy access to it. I guess that's the main reason as to why she chose that place.” Jared replied, telling her what he had discovered.
