Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to visit Again!

“Are you serious about that? You won’t go back on your word, will you?” Nicole squinted her eyes and questioned him.

“I won’t. I always stay true to my words.” A devilish look formed on Jared’s pretty face.

Nicole took a deep breath and scanned her surroundings. Seeing that no one was around them, Nicole gave him a light peck on the cheek.

Then, she looked at him and said, “Remember to send the photos to me!”

“Don’t worry.” Jared smiled.

He never expected that he would actually get a kiss in exchange for a few photos. ‘It’s such a good bargain. Had I known this, I’d have brought her out on holidays more often.’

“Nicole, would you like to continue with the travel plans we’ve discussed about?” Jared asked her.

‘Travel? I would love to, but what about the chip?” Nicole gave Jared a helpless glance.

“Well, it’s still in the early stages of development. Why not put the project on hold and continue working on it after we’re back from our trip?” Jared asked.

“I’ll leave that up to you. After all, I am doing this project for you,” Nicole replied, looking into his eyes.

“In that case, I’ll assign Claus to be your right-hand man, starting from tomorrow,” Jared suggested after having come up with an idea. “All you have to do is pass your work to him as soon as possible and set a target for your team. With Claus and Kelly around, there wouldn’t be major issues as long as they follow your instructions. Besides, if they ever come across a stumbling block, they could always call you right away. That way, we can continue with our travel plans.”

Nicole furrowed her brows, and after having given it some thought, she said, “It doesn’t sound like a bad idea. Ask Claus to come over to my office tomorrow.”

“Alright,” he uttered.

“But…” Nicole paused, as the McCarthy family came to mind once more.

“But what?” Jared looked at her and asked.

“Why did Joyce send someone over to tail me? And about the arson attack at The Beacon factory, there is still much that we’ve yet to settle. I don’t think this is the right time for US to leave for a vacation,” Nicole expressed as she looked at Jared firmly in the eyes.

“I guess we’ll have to take care of Joyce first.” An icy glint crossed Jared’s eyes.

“Yeah, or else, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy ourselves during the trip,” she said.

“You’re right about that,” Jared agreed. “Joyce will still be a thorn at our side.”

“Let’s not think about it today. Shall we take a seat at the swing for a moment?” Nicole suggested as she pointed at the swing in the garden.

“Sure.” Jared and Nicole walked toward the swing.

Nicole rested her head on Jared’s shoulder and closed her eyes, prompting Jared to hold her in his arms. As the two of them were swaying back and forth on the swing, the sun shone upon them, casting a heartwarming shadow of the lovers on the ground.

After a while, Nicole slowly opened her eyes. She did not realize that she had fallen asleep in his arms.

“How could I have fallen asleep?” Nicole asked as she quickly sat up straight and looked at Jared in shock.

“Perhaps the environment here puts you at ease because of how comfortable it is. I guess you’ve been really exhausted these days.

Otherwise, you wouldn’t have fallen asleep so easily,” Jared replied as he stretched around Seeing him stretch, Nicole sheepishly asked, “You did not move the entire time, did you?”

“Nope. I saw you sleeping soundly so I didn’t want to bother you.”

Although Jared’s arms were numb from all her leaning, he was very happy that she was willing to sleep in his arms. This was the first time they sat on a swing together. To add to that, they did so in a garden, and so, it felt like they were surrounded by the beauty of nature.

“Why are you so well-behaved today? Are you growing tired of me already?” Nicole looked at him and sulked.

To date, it still surprised her that Jared had not touched her in ways she deemed inappropriate.

“Do you feel better now?” Nicole massaged his arm.

“A lot better. I didn’t expect you to be so adept at massaging.” Jared stared into her eyes affectionately and praised.
