Fiorella tried her best to be meek before Jared so he could naturally display his protective nature. Even if he knew how to control it, he would still subconsciously protect her, which was what she wanted.
Jared did not think much about it as he thought that it was normal for women to be started whenever strangers made unsolicited moves on them. That was why he was not repulsed by her actions when she was in fear. To him, it was in the nature of men to be protective.
"Let's have our meal,” Jared said, using the food as a means of diverting Fiorella's attention.
“Okay.”
"By the way, the wine you wanted is ready, but you haven't claimed any of it yet." he said.
‘I'll just leave it with you for now and get it next time,” she replied, making up an excuse to meeting him again.
“Okay.”
Jared knew her intentions, but he did not wish to expose her. After having lunch with her, he went back to his office and continued working.
On the other hand, Nicole had gone home when she received a text from Zeke. [Didn't we agree to study about the mission last night? Why did you not have a signal, all of a sudden? Did something happen?]
Zeke was busy worrying about her for the entire night.
Nicole quickly replied to him after reading his text. [I'm fine. The connection was lost last night. Do you need me to help you out now?]
[Yes!] She received his reply in an instant.
[Okay, I'll turn on my computer upstairs.] Nicole went back to her room and turned her computer on.
"Send me your mission.”
After some time, Zeke sent the task over to her computer. She looked at it thoroughly and found out that it was a mission to crack the classified details of a team's mission.
‘So that is why the reward is a badge of the Reby family. This is a tough mission, and we might still get ourselves in trouble if we succeed,’ she thought.
(Zeke, do you know the risks associated with this mission?] Nicole asked him through text message.
If he was unaware, she had to let him know.
[I know, and that's why I want to try it out]
[You should think twice. This is something very serious. If your details ever get exposed, you might be killed. If that happens, you won't get the badge and you'll also lose your life.] Nicole reminded him.
[I'm prepared for that. Just enlighten me on the strategy and what I should do. You though, should stay out of this.]
Zeke was worried that he would drag Nicole down with him if he failed the mission, which would result in an outcome too terrifying for him to bear.
[Since you're ready, let's proceed.] Nicole checked the details and sent them over to Zeke.
Then, she guided him via video call.
Three days later, Harvey walked into Nicole's office with four specialists in chip development.
"Nicole, I've gotten some experts to help you out. You can start introducing yourself." Harvey looked at Nicole.
Nicole smiled as she greeted Harvey.
"I'm Nicole, the person in charge here. I was the one who had established this project, and it's an honor to have you join US in this enterprise. Welcome." Nicole looked at the four specialists as she introduced herself.
"It's an honor. I'm Terry Anderson, and I've heard about you and Mr. Johnston. You're really beautiful, Miss Riddle,” one of them introduced.
"These are my good friends, Fabe Wynn, Keith Robertson, and Mark Leigh." Terry introduced them to Nicole.It's an honor to be here,” they greeted Nicole.
