Even if Jared had demonstrated nary an ounce of care for others, he would definitely not disregard

Nicole and her concerns.

Upon hearing this, Nicole smiled and replied, "No."

If Patricia and Ellar did indeed share mutual feelings of affection, she hoped they would get together.

As for Jared, he simply raised his hand to caress her hair. He had never cared about this matter from

the very beginning, as it never concerned him.

"Since you won't object, why not tell Patricia?" she asked, thinking that Patricia would not be bogged

down by any of her concerns anymore if Jared was willing to step up and tell her about his lack of

objections.

"Well, it's about Charlie," Jared said indifferently.

Since Patricia was working as a subordinate under Charlie, her freedom from the constraints of the

organization was his to determine.

Nicole raised her eyebrows, and thought about it for a moment. 'Indeed, it's clear that Jared will never

interfere with the personal lives of those under his payroll.'

Charlie, on the other hand, was a different story. Now, Nicole did not know much about Charlie, but she

could tell that he was not a man who was lax when it came to the conduct of his subordinates as well

as his own, even though he had been nothing but kind and fair to Patricia. Because of this, she could

not help but wonder if Charlie would ever let Patricia go.

"Are you sure you want to think about someone else in front of me?" Jared's voice, tinged with charm,

blared out in her ears.

Nicole raised her head when she came to her senses, only to find Jared that Jared had already

lowered his face, his nose almost touching hers. Her heart skipped a beat as she held her breath.

Jared's cold lips gradually pressed against hers, its touch carrying some sort of magic that caused all

rhyme and reason to vanish at an instant.

With her hands hooked around Jared's neck, Nicole instinctively reciprocated. Though this surprised

him, he gave in, allowing their kiss to progress into a full-blown make -out session.

In the midst of it all, the moon in all of its glory loomed over the silhouette of the couple locked in their

lingering kiss, casting their shadows on the ground and forming a lovely portrait.

The next day, the warm and bright sun blossomed over where the moon had been as Nicole made her

way to Riddle Corporation as usual.

She was puzzled when she saw that Lulu had already arrived. "Why are you here?"

With a bitter grimace on her face, Lulu complained, "That asshole Harvey is off his rocker! He called

me over to his office early in the morning, forcing me to handle the procedures of the takeover. I came

back right after dealing with it. I don't wish to see his face any longer! Not now, not ever."

Just thinking about it made her angry. Her dreams last night were sweet, and she was enjoying them

when Harvey gave her a call and bellowed into her ear. He had even threatened her into rushing to his

office while she was still half-asleep.

At the end of the day, Harvey was an oppressor who delighted in having his way. She did not know

what he was in such a hurry for, but all she knew was that his stunt this morning was really excessive.

Nicole was left in a state of puzzlement after she had heard Lulu. "Why was he so eager?"

"Who knows, but if you ask me, he's probably gone crazy." Lulu shrugged and continued. "I said I

wouldn't go, but then, he threatened me, asking if I could afford the consequences if I delayed the

company's work."

"He really said that?!" Nicole blinked. 'Is Harvey a workaholic now?'

"Of course! I was furious! But to avoid giving him the opportunity to pin the blame on me if things go

sideways anytime soon, I played along," Lulu said, her grimace becoming even more sour by the

minute.

Nicole was amused. "Since the handover is complete, let him deal with the work that has been cut out

for him."

"Do you think he can really do it?" Lulu asked, serious and unblinking.

"He should be able to. Even if he's holding a grudge against me and doesn't want me to condescend

him, he will do well to perform his duties," Nicole said.

Over time, Harvey would come to realize that holding a grudge against her was an exercise in

meaninglessness, allowing him to let it go.

"He's really petty," Lulu spat, her voice heavy with disdain.

"Alright, since everything is in order, let's see how Harvey performs from now on," Nicole nodded.

She did not want to waste any more of her time on Harvey or discussions of him, so she changed the

subject and said," In the last round of bidding, Ellar has already secured the contract. The project is

about to begin, and he is probably going to need Patricia's help. With that said, I need you to pay more

attention to the company's affairs from this day onward."
