Chapter 2804

Stanley looked at Nicole, stunned, unsure of how to respond to her. The situation between him and Tia had become so confusing and convoluted that he could not understand it either. Since the night when they accidentally kissed, Tia had been avoiding him. He could also feel that Tia had been keeping her distance from him.

“If Tia genuinely doesn’t like you, she wouldn’t have felt uncomfortable just now. She’s probably just uncertain about her feelings. You should try being more direct with her. It’s the best course of action for the both of you,” Nicole said meaningfully, and gave Stanley a pat on the back.

“I should be more direct?” Stanley asked, and gave Nicole a frown. “But it would be too sudden for Tia.”

“If you don’t take the initiative in relationships, someone else will,” Nicole pointed out. ‘If Stanley does not make the first move, what else can he expect? Is he waiting for Tia to take the first step?’

Tia had always felt that she was inferior to Stanley. This much was obvious, judging from how Tia would formally address Stanley whenever she saw him. While there might be a possibility that Tia had fallen for Stanley, she had also been left to constantly worry about the difference in status between them.

As of now Stanley was caught in a daze. There was even a frown on his face when Nicole mentioned that someone else might pursue Tia if he did not.

“Tonight’s dinner with Cherry can be a good chance for you to come clean. You should think about it,”

Nicole suggested.

She then linked her arm to Jared’s and left.

Stanley stood there, watching as Jared and Nicole got into their car and left for work. Nicole’s words were still fresh in his mind. There was that, and there was the thought of Tia becoming someone else’s.

Above all, there was also Nicole’s reminder that tonight was his chance to seize.

Nicole got out of the car when they had reached the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, and that was when Jared reminded her, “I’ll be here when you get off work.”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…

This prompted Nicole to ask in shock, “Are you joining US for dinner?” “Yes, I’ll be there to accompany you,” Jared said gently, before ordering Max to drive off.

As the car disappeared into the distance, Nicole could not help but smile at the thought of Jared joining them for a dinner of such sort, something which she thought Jared would be reluctant to attend.

However, she would gladly accept that he would be there to accompany her since he was okay with doing it.

“The car is gone, so what are you still looking at? Are you reluctant to part ways with him for a few hours?” Lulu’s voice blared out near her ear.

Nicole then turned to look at her. “Cherry is leaving soon. She has invited us to a farewell dinner tonight.” “Oh, that’s nice,” Lulu readily agreed.

As they were walking side by side into the company building, Lulu smiled.” Well, that’s not the only good news. I have another piece of good news to tell you.” “What is it?” Nicole looked at Lulu, trying to guess what it might be.

“It’s about Harvey. We’ve signed the deal for the final project. I think Harvey should have received the news by now. In less than three days, Ellison Group’s financial chain will likely encounter severe problems, and everything he had planned out will be shattered,” Lulu enthusiastically shared.

At long last, their long-standing feud with Harvey was coming to an end. After this, Harvey would not have the guts to mess with Nicole anymore.

‘Harvey really is something. He has been having trouble with Nicole ever since high school. His determination up until now has been really astonishing,’ Lulu thought.

“If that’s the case, you should still remain cautious. Harvey might not be as easy to defeat as you think.

He might react in ways we’re not able to foresee,” Nicole cautioned as they stepped into the elevator.

“That’s true. I’ll make sure to keep an eye on him. By the way, don’t forget to inform Thomas about this,” Lulu reminded Nicole.

It was essential forthem to inform Thomas about the situation so he could prepare accordingly.

To that, Nicole nodded in agreement.

Once they were done with their conversation, the both of them went off to their respective offices. As Nicole entered her office, she glanced at the desk and spotted a bunch of files on it, prompting her to raise a brow. She could not help but wonder if Patricia was back already.

“Ms. Riddle?” A voice unfamiliar to Nicole blared out from behind.

She turned around and was met with a woman she did not recognize. “Who are you?”
