‘Didn't you have something you said you need to deal with? Are you not going to do it anymore?" Jared asked.
"I am doing it, but the computer is upstairs." Nicole made her way upstairs after she had uttered the last word.
In response, Jared frowned at Nicole and thought, 'l am sure she is avoiding me on purpose!
When Nicole arrived at the bedroom door, she whirled around to ensure that Jared was not following her. After she was sure that he had not followed her, she went in and locked the door.
Relieved, she thought, ‘Even if he comes knocking on the door, I can just lie down on the bed and pretend as if I am sleeping.
As there was no threat from Jared, she would not be needing Zeke as an escape plan. Nicole pulled her covers up and wrapped herself in them before falling asleep peacefully.
Meanwhile, Jared was sitting in the living room, watching TV in a daze,’ What kind of man could make Nicole avoid me? I can't let this matter slide. I have to get to the bottom of this.’ Jared whipped his phone out and tapped on Max's contact icon
But it was then that he hesitated for a moment and turned his phone off.
‘This matter should not be publicized. Its better I find out on my own,’ he thought.
Jared checked the time, and upon noticing that it was already past 9 o'clock, he turned the television off and made his way upstairs.
He came to Nicole's room and stretched his hand out to push the door open, but he stopped, as he knew that Nicole had locked the door.
‘Since she's avoiding me, I better not be rash until things get straightened out,’ Jared thought to himself and decided on that before making a beeline for another room, where he laid down to get some shuteye.
There, the scene in the living room and the man’s voice manifested his mind.
The next day, Jared and Nicole ate breakfast at the dining table. The tension was palpable, as Nicole was still refusing to explain herself, in spite of the multiple glances from Jared. She had noticed none of them, and was just eating as usual.
‘I'll send you off," Jared suddenly said.
Nicole raised her head to look at him and declined. "There's no need for that. You're busy with your work. You can get someone to send me there. It would be a waste if they idle all day.’
"I think it's better if they drive me there. That way, it'll be more convenient,” Nicole gently said while looking at him.
"Okay. Be careful while driving on the road." Jared gave her a blank stare.
‘Is this the beginning of her rejection toward me?’ Jared thought wildly.
"Okay."
"By the way, about the process of developing the chip, whatever it is that you have, and will ever encounter, don't carry the burden by yourself. This is something that we share in common. You can lean on me when the going gets rough,” Jared said confidently.
Nicole blushed and nodded. "Don't worry. I understand."
"I'm done eating. I'm going to go first." Nicole left the dining room after finishing the past piece of her sandwich.
Nicole walked out of the mansion, started the car, and headed to the Golden Coast Building. As soon as she had arrived, she took the elevator to the topmost floor of the building. She walked into the office and saw Harvey already sitting there in a daze.
‘Why is he here?’ Nicole thought to herself as she approached him. “Harvey, what are you doing here?"
Harvey turned to look at her once he had heard her voice.
Feeling a little embarrassed, he replied, "Nicole, you're here.”
Harvey was still unable to get over how shy she looked the day before. He did not expect her to be standing in front of him now.
"Yeah," Nicole replied lightly. Ever since that day, she had not contacted him. As a matter of face, she still felt embarrassed upon seeing him unexpectedly today.
"Um...Are you here to work?" Harvey looked at Nicole and asked.
He did not know what he was asking, as his mind was flooded with thoughts about her. Similarly, Nicole noticed Harvey's odd behavior and could sense the restraint he had on himself. Where the two of them were once familiar with each other, they had become awkward whenever they found themselves alone in the same stretch of space.
