Chapter 1331

“I’m free during any time of the day. Just give me a call before you come over to the headquarters,”

Sean said, happy that they were coming to do their internship at his company.

“Okay,” the duo uttered.

It was then that Gloria marched out of the kitchen, looked at them and said, “Dinner’s ready. Come over and eat.”

Gloria placed all of Nicole’s favorite dishes in front of her, before turning to Jared and saying, “Jared, I don’t know what you usually like to eat so I’ve allowed the cook to make you some special dishes.

Come, have a taste of it and see what you like.”

“Okay,” Jared replied politely.

“Nicole, these dishes are your favorites. I’ve asked the cook to make them for you. Give them all a try, would you?” she said.

Jared stared at the stacks of food in front of Nicole and thought, ‘Isn’t this a bit much?

He then looked at the other people, who only had a few dishes made for them. ‘The treatment here is obviously preferential.”

“Mom, you prepared more dishes for Nicole than the rest of us here. Aren’t you playing favorites?”

Samuel asked in jealousy.

“Is that so? Here, come have some of this.” Gloria addressed Nicole patronizingly, completely disregarding the existence of others.

All Samuel wanted was a better dish, and seeing this, Gloria quickly placed another dish in front of him for him to eat.

Jared coughed and signaled Nicole to share some of her food with him, as it would be too embarrassing for him to ask out loud, Understanding what Jared had meant, Nicole turned to Sean at once and said, “I know Sean also likes this dish. Mom just told me to try some of these.”

Nicole then smiled and handed the dishes to Sean.

Gloria understood what Nicole meant and in relief, she said, “Yeah, what Nicole said was right. I heard Nicole was awarded a restaurant with a Michelin Star. I was thinking if she could give our chef a score.’

“Anyway, let’s snap out of it and hand that dish over to me,” Gloria looked at them and said.

It was only then that everyone began eating, with Nicole heaving a sigh of relief.” Things got awkward real quick. I think it’s because mom was a little too psyched. Perhaps it’s her first time meeting Jared?”

Half way through the meal, Sean suddenly looked at Nicole and asked, “Nicole, have you and Jared thought about when you’ll be getting married?”

Jared’s heart suddenly tightened, I guessed it right. I suppose we can only wait for Nicole’s answer.

Then, he turned to look at Nicole and thought, ‘Sean is Nicole’s eldest brother and he was totally justified in asking that question. He did have the right to ask.”

Nicole darted Jared a glance, after which she calmly looked at Sean and explained, ” We’ve been a little busy with our work as of recent. I think that, when the time is right, we will plan for our wedding.”

Jared gave Nicole a silent thumbs up after hearing her answer, ‘She didn’t betray his trust. There was credibility in her words.”

“Yeah, that’s good. When you both aren’t too busy with work, you can prepare for the wedding. It would be torturous for both your mind and body if you do it when you’re tied up and stuff,” Sean replied, having understood what Nicole had said.

“Yeah. In fact, I won’t be worrying too much about the wedding. I think Jared is the one who will be doing much of the worrying. I don’t want him to carry most of the burden.” Nicole glanced at him and continued talking without leaving room for others to ask questions.

“Yes, we are grateful that you have Jared by your side.” Gloria looked at the two of them with a satisfied grin on her face.

Jared and Nicole then both looked at each other, their eyes brimming with love for each other.

“When the time comes, you can turn to me and tell me what you need. As your eldest brother, I will do everything I can to support you.” Sean looked at Nicole and said heartily.

“Don’t you worry. I think that you won’t be the only one who will be busy by then.” Nicole looked at everyone with a smile.

“That’s how it should be. Our sister’s wedding is the top priority of the Riddle family, and no one is allowed to laze around!” Steve said jokingly.
