Chapter 1379

“You drove here. How could you drink?” Martin calmed down and asked Nicole.

“I’ll just ask somebody else to send me back. Come on, let’s drink.” She signaled him to raise his glass.

“Okay.” Martin heard what she said and clinked his glass with hers.

“Martin, you didn’t want to sell Beacon to foreign countries for some reason. Have you changed your mind on that?” Nicole brought it up as she looked at him.

“Actually, I hope the Beacon can benefit everyone in the world. However, I’m also worried that people with bad intentions would use it to facilitate their evil deeds if they ever got their hands on it. I don’t want that to happen.” He explained to her with a serious look on his face.

“Yeah, that could happen. But a lot of those places don’t have good living conditions. The people there need a good product like the Beacon to help them and give them a chance at life again.” Nicole witnessed too many injured people die because they could not receive proper treatment on time. She hoped Martin could change his mind so the Beacon could help as many people as possible.

“I understand what you’re trying to say, but…” Martin sounded like he needed a reason that was convincing enough for him to sell the Beacon overseas and help those people in need.

“Stop hesitating. You only invented Beacon because you wanted to help people. You can’t give up on those needing the Beacon just because you’re worried that a tiny part of them would misuse it.

“You should unleash its full potential in our country and the whole world!” Nicole encouraged him to make the best decision.

Martin bowed his head down and started thinking. Nicole did not want to pressure him, so she said, “Don’t feel pressured. Let’s eat first and talk about this when we get back later.”

Nicole grabbed another crab leg and continued eating. Then, Martin suddenly looked and her and said, “You’re right. I can’t confine its potential by only selling it here. I’ve got to maximize its value.

“Nicole, I’ve made my mind up. I will expand Beacon’s sales range and export it wherever needed.”

Martin looked at her and said seriously.

“That’s the best idea. Should we drink another glass to celebrate Beacon’s success worldwide in advance, then?” Nicole looked at him and said jokingly.

“Sure.” Martin raised his glass, and a genuine smile appeared across his face.

“Nicole, you’re drinking too much.” Martin looked at how she drank glass after glass and spoke.

“Not really. Such little amount of alcohol can’t do anything to me.” Nicole was starting to feel a little tipsy, but it was unusual for her to feel this way by only drinking this much. Suddenly, she felt slightly upset when she remembered the lipstick stain on Jared’s smile. Perhaps one gets drunk easier when they are in a bad mood.

Nicole wanted to dial Kelly’s number after eating but accidentally called Harvey instead.

“Kelly, I’m at Blue Whale now. Come pick me up.” Nicole spoke right after the call was connected.

Harvey immediately knew what was going on. ‘It looks like she went to dine at Blue Whale Restaurant without me. How outrageous! She would only think of me when she needed help. How could she not ask me to eat together with her?’

‘Hello? Kelly?” Nicole called Kelly’s name a few times but did not get an answer. But she thought Kelly had already heard what she said, so she hung up.

“Martin, let’s wait here for a while. Kelly will be here in a minute.” Nicole told Martin before she picked up her glass again to continue drinking.

He quickly stopped her hand that was already holding the glass as he said, ’ Nicole, you’ve drunk enough today. You should stop.”

“Yeah, I’m very happy today. Martin, you should visit my laboratory when you have the time. Who knows– maybe you’ll fall in love with that place.” Nicole lifted the edge of her mouth as she said to him.

“Really? I heard Mr. Johnston talking about it before, but what are you researching?” Martin looked at Nicole and asked.
