Nicole's coyness made him even more fascinated in her.
"I haven't seen you for a while, Nicole. Why do I feel that you'd be a little shy every time you see me these days? Is this a case of the famous saying that states, absence makes the heart grow fonder?"
Nicole glared at him.
"Shut up.”
‘’This guy is getting even more sporadic with his teasing, as of recent,’’ she thought.
"How about...we consider getting married?" Jared suggested with a solemn look on his face.
Nicole was taken aback for a moment. "Jared, I have just become of age. I am still yet to reach the legal age for marriage.”
‘What is this b*stard thinking? I really wish I could pry open his brains sometimes to see what's inside,’ Nicole thought.
"It's okay, we can host the wedding first,” he said.
"And then?" Nicole raised her eyebrows, already able to guess that he must have something to say.
"And then, no one can stop us from living together,” Jared said as though it was a matter of fact without a hint of embarrassment.
"Enough is enough," she protested. ‘What is he trying to do? Scare my grandma to death?’
"No, none of it is enough.” Jared wrapped his arm around her slender waist and brought himself closer to her face, their breaths almost fusing together.
Unable to take this anymore, she suddenly stood up.
"I'm full. It's best that I get going!” she cried.
‘‘If I stick around any longer, I'd surely summon a wicked creature out of him!’’ Nicole thought to herself.
Jared noticed that Nicole, who had always been fearless, was squirming away from him, attempting to run away. Jared propped his chin with one hand in wicked fashion as he watched her leave playfully.
‘‘I meant each and every word I've said earlier. I just want her tied to me as soon as possible. There are way too many people coveting her. Now that she has the Fire Crest, I'm worried there'll be even more rivals in the future. My girlfriend is too outstanding, and that has gotten us into a fair bit of trouble,’’ he thought.
After Nicole had left Jared's villa, she did not head home directly, as she knew that there might still be many guests that had yet to leave, hoping to get a glimpse of her. Nicole was still not in the mood to socialize.
‘‘Should I go pay Kelly a visit? Forget it. School is about to start soon. I ought to handle all of these matters before the new term begins,’’ Nicole thought to herself as she got out of her car and walked into the Golden Coast Building.
It had since been a long time since Kelly had seen Nicole, and as she knew that Nicole was coming, she had been waiting for her downstairs.
She watched as Nicole's car halted, after which she immediately stepped forward.
"Nicole! You're finally here!"
Due to the fact that Kelly had not been able to contact Nicole for days, she was worried sick about her.
"What's the matter?"
Nicole had only been abroad for a short period of time and Kelly had begun to hint that something significant had happened.
"Oh, nothing messed up. I've got nothing but good news! Our R&D has made progress!’
Hearing this, Nicole raised her brows and smiled.
"Great! Has Terry made any progress?"
During her trip abroad, she had gotten some inspiration from the Curley Corporation's base of operations. Perhaps she could fuse the current technology with the ideas she had in mind.
"Come on, I'll bring you in to have a look." Kelly smiled and led the way.
Nicole responded in kind and trailed behind Kelly.
‘‘Harvey might not be in the office yet. Good thing I've come just in time,’’ Nicole thought.
As they entered the elevator, Nicole said, "Since the R&D division has made some progress, let's move to the new base over the next few days.”
Tve made it clear to Harvey last night that I can no longer owe him any favors,’ Nicole thought to herself.
"Huh? Oh...okay." Kelly was taken aback for a moment, as she thought that she could no longer work at the Golden Coast Building anymore.
The visage of a person then flashed before Kelly's mind, making her feel a little disappointed.
"What's the matter?" Nicole asked, noticing that Kelly seemed a little crestfallen.
