Chapter 1278

Chapter 1278 “Oh, okay.” Kelly was dumbfounded upon hearing that, and she began thinking to herself, ‘A reception? What is going on? Why am I invited?’

However as Nicole had extended the invitation to her anyway, she quickly freshened up and went downstairs. After a while, Harvey’s car pulled up in front of her. Then, she made sure that the two people in the car were indeed Nicole and Harvey before getting in.

Harvey looked at Kelly through the rear-view mirror and teased, “I wasn’t expecting to see this feminine side of Kelly.”

While they were abroad, Kelly had always been garbed in formal attire, which conveyed a sense of professionalism. Today, however, she had taken on a completely different style, which was refreshing to see.

“Harvey, this is the first time I’ve ever heard you complimenting someone. Still, I must say that Kelly really has a great sense of fashion today. I like it too. Looks like you’re being highly by Harvey today, Kelly.”

“I’m not as mean as you think I am. Don’t I shower you with compliments often?” Harvey gave Nicole a look of surprise.

Then, he continued. “But Kelly gives me a very different feeling today than before. Kelly, I suggest you wear it like this from now on. It suits you perfectly,” Harvey said.

Kelly blushed upon hearing the praises heaped on her.

Looking at Harvey from the backseat, she said, “Really? Since you think it looks good on me, I’ll keep dressing the way I do whenever I get the chance.”

“What do you mean when you have the chance? Do you not allow this at work?” Harvey looked at Nicole beside him.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Nicole shot Harvey a frown, after which she gave her assistant a glance. “Kelly, you can wear whatever you want from now on.”

“Okay.” Kelly glanced at Harvey’s side profile, feeling happy.

Soon after, they arrived in front of The Herald and got out of the car, whereupon they all walked in, while a valet parked the car for Harvey.

“I didn’t know that Martin had arranged the dinner here in this place,” Harvey said as he walked.

“You have been here before?” Nicole asked.

“Quite regularly. I have spent my birthdays here almost every year,” Harvey stated without bragging at all.

“Huh, why does it sound like you’re bragging?” Nicole gave Harvey a sideways glance.

“It’s because you are overthinking it,” he retorted.

“Martin, we are here. Have you arrived?” Nicole called Martin on the phone.

“I’m here,” Martin said. “I will be coming right out to take you in.”

In a minute or two, Martin appeared, and when he had approached Nicole, he greeted each and every one of them.

“You guys are pretty early. This way please.” Martin led the way.

“How long have you been here?” Nicole asked, looking over at him.

“It has been a while. I thought you guys would be here on the dot, and I wasn’t expecting you all to arrive this early.” Martin smiled and chatted with Nicole.

When they had arrived at their private, reserved room, Martin invited the three of them to sit down.

“How long will you be staying here this time?” Martin looked at Nicole before glancing at Harvey and Kelly.

“We will be sticking around for a long time this time. Is there something you need help with?” Nicole rhetorically asked, looking at Martin with a smile in her eyes.
