“By the way, I heard that the sports day brought many investors to the school. It’s an achievement in the history of the Royal Creek Institute. Thanks to you.” Mr. Ellison was glad that the school had such a talent as Nicole and that Nicole had chosen the Royal Creek Institute. Otherwise , such a good thing would have gone into the hands of other schools.
Nicole looked modestly at Mr. Ellison. “That’s what I should do as a member of the school.”
Mr. Ellison was in admiration of her, as he knew Nicole was truly a rare talent.
“I heard that Riddle Corporation was recently bidding for a project from an international company. Is there such a thing?” Mr. Ellison asked.
“I didn’t know that you were also interested in international business.” Nicole looked at Mr. Ellison calmly, wondering if he was also going to take part in the tender.
“Don’t get me wrong. I’m not that concerned about these things, but with the strength of Riddle Corporation, haven’t you ever thought of working with other companies?” Mr. Ellison euphemistically reached out an olive branch.
Nicole thought that Mr. Ellison was eyeing Aegis Corporation but expected that he wanted to work with the Riddle Corporation.
“I understand what you mean; if Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group join forces, we will have an eighty percent chance of winning the bid for the Aegis Corporation project, and while two dogs are fighting for a bone, a third one runs away with it.” Nicole’s analysis was spot one.
Mr. Ellison listened to Nicole’s analysis and nodded with a smile.
“Personally, I think it’s a win-win.” It was much better working with Ellison Group than with McCarthy Corporation.
“This matter is a major thing for which I need to ask for my family’s opinions.” Nicole knew she was just a junior in the family, and it was Sean who was running the company. So even if the joint venture was in the bag, she still needed to give Sean a heads-up.
“If you have decided, call me. Harvey will contact you for subsequent discussions.” Mr. Ellison did not forget to create opportunities for his grandson.
“Okay. I will go now if there is nothing else.” With that, Nicole got to her feet and said goodbye to Mr. Ellison, who saw her out to the hallway.
Jared’s car pulled up in front of Nicole as soon as she stepped out of the school gate.
“Jared? What are you doing here?” Nicole looked surprised at Jared, who appeared all of a sudden.
“Don’t you want to see me?” Jared quipped.
“Don’t talk nonsense.” Nicole opened the car door and got in.
“Where are you going? I will give you a ride.” Jared looked at her.
“Going back home.”
Jared started the car and headed toward Nicole’s home.
In the car, Jared hesitated for a moment before asking, “I heard that during the training, there was a professional masseur giving you a massage?” Jared had never heard of masseurs giving massages at school in his life. This was the first time he had ever heard it, and he felt it was unbelievable. 3
“How did you know?” It also surprised Nicole, who wondered who Jared knew about it. She suspected he had eyes in the school.
“You don’t need to know how I know. It’s really news to hire professional masseurs to school and give students massages. Didn’t the school say anything about it?”
“It’s not as serious as you think. Gary and I had a bet, and
he lost, so he was giving massages to classmates as a punishment.” Nicole laughed at the thought of Gary and the others massaging the legs of other classmates.
Jared finally heard the name he wanted to hear. “But from what I heard, Gary lost the bet and gave you a massage.”
Nicole’s expression crashed in an instant. “Who is behind the rumors, and from where did you hear about them?” 1
“You don’t need to know. Just answer me; is there such a thing?” Jared could not tolerate someone else touching his woman, and if it was true, as the rumors said, he would make the Finley family pay. “No. Jared, is this why you came to pick me up at school today?” Nicole came to her senses and glared at Jared with a sharp look in her eyes.
