Chapter 2078

Looking at Nicole’s stunned yet cute look, Jared smiled and gently patted her head. “You may go now.

I’ll pick you up after work.”

“Okay,” Nicole replied briefly. Then, she opened the door and got out of the car.

After that, Nicole realized that something was off. Why was she being so obedient? He had just sneakily kissed her. How could he react so calmly?

The car’s window rolled down and Jared said with a smile, “I actually prefer this type of compensation.”

“Jared Johnston!” Nicole’s cheeks were blushing rapidly. She stared at Jared angrily. ‘This reckless man!’

“Alright, I’ll leave now.” Jared quickly ordered the driver to drive off before Nicole could explode in anger.

Looking at Jared’s car leaving, Nicole gritted her teeth in annoyance. She wished that she could blow the car up with her glare.

This guy was really getting harder to satisfy by the day. However, Nicole could not do much but take it in.

“Nicole, what are you doing, standing here?” Sean approached her and took a look at their surroundings in confusion.

Nicole came back to her senses and replied to Sean, “I was just about to head upstairs.”

Sean nodded. “Let’s go.”

Nicole turned around and looked at Jane who was standing beside Sean, all dressed up like a secretary. Nicole greeted her with a smile. “Jane.”

Jane was stunned for a moment. Then, she nodded in a friendly manner. “Chairman.”

“Jane, I don’t think that’s suitable.” Nicole was a little taken aback that Jane would refer to her with such formality.

“It’s up to her. She calls me Mr. Sean at work too,” Sean explained on behalf of Jane, exasperated.

Hearing this, Nicole raised her eyebrow a little, as if she was surprised by it. However, the look on her face carried some sense of pride as well.

Jane was Sean’s secretary, but now she was the wife of the Riddle Corporation Head Office’s CEO.

One could imagine how much criticism Jane had received from others. It was rare to have someone like Jane with such thoughtfulness and tolerance. The love Jane had for Sean must be true love.

Curling her lips slightly, Nicole said affectionately, “Jane and Sean, you guys really are a match made in heaven.”

After they finished the conversation, Nicole entered the office building first. Sean glanced at Jane and followed after Nicole.

Jane froze, left feeling stunned. She did not expect Nicole to say such a thing. But at that moment, Jane understood why Nicole was well-liked by everyone in the Riddle family. And that was because she was so lovable.

Although Jane did not show it through words or actions, Nicole understood Jane’s position. Nicole even gave her some reassurance, and that made Jane feel warm inside.

For someone like Jane, being in a relationship with Sean in her position was not easy. It did not matter whether it was from a place of jealousy, righteousness, or other reasons. People would always talk behind their backs. Especially since Jane decided to stay in the company after the marriage and continue holding the position of Sean’s secretary. All this was because she loved Sean for who he was.

Taking a deep breath, Jane slowly walked into the office building. Only those who were observant could tell that Jane was acting a little differently than usual. With her head held up high and her back straight, Jane was filled with confidence from head to toe. It was not the coldness and unapproachable stance which Jane had forced herself to carry before.

After entering the elevator, Nicole glanced at Jane and curled her lips into a smile. She understood why Jane managed to win Sean’s heart. Jane was definitely worth Sean’s heart.

“Jane, since you’re only willing to be recognized as a secretary in the office, why don’t you come over for dinner some time?” Nicole extended an invitation. Since at home, Jane would just be her sister-in-

law.

Jane replied, full of gratitude, “Sure.”

Nicole nodded her head. Then, she turned to look at Sean and smiled playfully. “Sean, I have bad news for you.”
