Chapter 1249

Then Nicole hmphed. Deep down, she was thinking about what had happened earlier at Jared’s office and how he was lying to her.

It hurt her to think about it. He began lying and could even do it brazenly right in front of her. It really made her feel disappointed.

As she was thinking, she could not help but stare blankly.

“Hey! Why are you in a daze?” Harvey caught Nicole staring blankly after he had finished his food. So, he waved his hands right in front of her eyes.

“What? Have you finished eating?” Nicole slapped his hands and rolled her eyes at him.

“Yeah. What were you thinking about? Your eyes were still.” Harvey asked out of curiosity.

“Nothing much. Let’s get back to work.” Nicole got up and walked to her office.

Harvey and Kelly followed behind her.

“Did you notice that Nicole has been acting weirdly since she returned?” Harvey whispered to Kelly.

“A little, I guess. She seems very distracted,” Kelly tried to recall and replied to him.

“Yeah, she is very distracted.” Harvey looked as if he knew everything.

“Could it be that something big happened back at home?” Kelly guessed.

Upon hearing Kelly’s assumption, Harvey frowned and appeared to be worried. “That could be possible, otherwise, she would not be this distracted.”

Harvey knew Nicole well to a certain level. If it were not something important, Nicole would not have been bothered about it, let alone distracted by it.

‘I’m sure I can find it out once I ask around.” Harvey and Kelly were whispering behind Nicole. When they looked up, their eyes met with Nicole’s, which were staring at them.

‘Why did you look back?” The both of them were scared by Nicole, and they gasped at the same time.

‘What are you guys whispering about?’ Nicole looked at them with a sharp gaze.

‘Nothing, we were just discussing what we should have for dinner.” Harvey could only cover things up with a minute matter.

“You’ve just finished lunch, and you’re already thinking about dinner. Could you use your brain juice on more important things instead?” Nicole rolled her eyes at Harvey and scolded him.

“Okay.” Harvey only gave a short reply in a soft voice.

“Let’s go.” As soon as Nicole finished speaking, she turned around and continued walking forward.

“Did you see that? She was letting out her anger on US, so she must be frustrated.” Harvey was analyzing it for Kelly.

Kelly nodded in agreement, “It’s better for US not to anger her again. Let’s not be a nuisance to her.”

“Yeah, let’s go.”

Harvey and Kelly hurried to catch up with Nicole’s footsteps. Nicole could tell that they were already following her, so she did not turn back again and continued walking straight to her office.

Once Nicole pushed the office door open, she turned to the engineer who was working and asked, “How are things now? Are there any latest updates?”

“No. This craft is too challenging. Without you, we can’t progress at all.”

Nicole smiled and encouraged him, “Don’t worry, I’m back now. Let’s work hard together.”

Then, Nicole walked over and began to focus on her work.

In the blink of an eye, it was already Friday. To avoid Fiorella, Jared had to leave work two hours earlier for the past few days. So, he was forced to bring his documents back to the villa and continued working until late at night.
