However, it was going to happen sooner or later anyway. She could do her own things in peace after it had been taken care of.
Then, as if he had felt something, Jared softly said, "Okay, well stick to this plan then. I'll tell Zane to let you go after we've gotten married."
He had already made this decision for her when he went to save her at the airport. He just could not allow Nicole to do anything too perilous anymore.
Nicole's heart melted, but the mixed feeling flooded in thereafter.
"Jared... do you want me to quit?" she asked.
It was possible for her to do so in the Interpol, but she was not old enough to do that. Therefore, she did not know if Jared wanted her to retire after getting married.
"I just don't want you to put yourself in danger anymore. And... I don't want to see you covered in blood ever again,” he asserted.
Nicole became silent after she had heard Jared's heartfelt confession.
Suddenly, her heart started pounding as she became overjoyed. She could even hear Jared's voice trembling when he said that.
Nicole had never been afraid of death. She kept growing in strength and resilience after she had met Zane when she was younger, and that was also when taking care of her grandmother became her responsibility. She had never done anything to disobey Zane or the organization because she wanted to repay Zane for having given her an opportunity, as well as guidance throughout the years.
However, she began to feel a sense of fear after she had met Jared. She was afraid that she might never be able to see him again. Still, quitting the organization was something that had never crossed her mind.
Nicole took a deep breath and said, "I'll think about it."
She had only been able to live this long because of Zane and the organization. There was just no way she could leave the organization with just a simple letter of resignation.
"Sure, but I won't change my mind.” Jared asserted, sounding very bossy. "You’re mine now, and I want the best for you."
His affectionate voice emanated through the phone, making Nicole feel that she was genuinely loved as her heart started racing.
"Okay, stop being so cheesy. I need to read the script now.” Nicole hung up as her face grew hot.
Jared heard the beeping sound in his phone, but he was not mad at all as he already knew that Nicole was just being shy.
Indeed, Nicole would only behave like a meek woman in front of him.
Jared was in a good mood when he placed his phone down. However, the look on his face darkened as soon as he thought about Lloyd.
‘How bold of that idiot to ask Nicole to accompany him. I guess I'll have to teach him a lesson,’ he said to himself. He pressed the call button on his phone, and that was when Max came inside.
"Mr. Johnston, how may I assist you?"
Jared smiled faintly. "Find out which show Nicole is working on now, and... invest in their production team.”
Jared figured that he should not be a gentleman anymore, as Lloyd had resorted to using dirty tricks.
"Yes, sir.” Max obliged, playing it cool in spite of the fact that he too was surprised by the notion that Nicole was going to act in a drama series.
Suddenly, he was reminded of something. "Mr. Johnston, the driver who struck Miss Riddle in the car without the license plate has been found. He fled the country, but he's getting escorted back now."
"Oh?" Jared's lifted his brows, his gaze sharp. "What about the mastermind?"
Max's gaze turned dark. "I'm sure that we'll know who that is after some interrogation."
An eerie smile flashed across Jared's face. "There's no need to bring him back if that’s the case. Just make him suffer a little at the border."
Max immediately understood what Jared was trying to say because the border was not governed by any law...
‘I guess that person is going to experience hell.'
"Yes, sir. I'll find out who did that in under three days. And if I might add..." Max hesitated as if he had something else to say.
"What is it?"
