Chapter 2154

As Iris had been working with Jared for such a long time, this meant that she was a capable and competent worker.

It was probably not easy for Jared to find an immediate replacement in such a short amount of time.

"You care about me," Jared said with a mischievous smile.

Nicole could not help but shoot Jared a disdainful glance." Do you think I have nothing better to do?"

After saying that, Nicole got up, wanting to go to the bathroom. 'I'm not going to poke my nose in his business

anymore. He can probably handle it himself.'

Much to her chagrin, Jared reeled her back and pinned her to the bed before kissing her in the lips.

They could no longer control their breaths, and it was only then that Jared released Nicole, who glared at him

reproachfully.

Jared smirked as he stroked her hair. "Go take a shower and get ready for bed."

Nicole's lips twitched slightly. 'How did this guy manage to remain so composed?'

On the other side of things, a woman dressed in an elegant and seductive outfit was sitting by the bar. She was

holding a glass of liquor, gulping down one quart after another.

"Give me another one," Iris said as she placed the empty glass down, already feeling slightly intoxicated.

Looking at her, the bartender remarked, "Miss, you've had enough to drink."

"Shut up. Am I not paying you?" Iris asked, pushing the glass forward.

The bartender then decided that he would stop trying to advise her and proceeded to pour her another drink.

"Why are you drinking alone? Is there something troubling you?" A man sitting next to Iris asked in a concerned

tone of voice.

In response, Iris glared at the man in dismay. "Don't approach me. It's pointless."

Then, she continued drinking on her own. She was just drinking to relieve herself of her depression, so she did not

want to talk to anyone. If anything, it was best if no one paid her any attention.

"What if I told you I know why you're sad and that I can help you?" The man kindly said, not appearing to be

discouraged at all.

This time, Iris looked at the man directly, but soon, she became annoyed and said, "Go away."

'Who would know why I'm sad, let alone help me? No one can help me,' she thought.

She had worked for Jared for five years, and she never expected him to heartlessly fire her for a woman who

already had children.

'Am I not good enough? How is Nicole better than me? I'm so much better than her in every single way. I can help

Jared with his work. Who is this Nicole, who appeared out of nowhere, to take everything away from me?' she

fumed.

The more Iris thought about it, the more her heart ached. She finished a glass of strong liquor in one shot. Her eyes

then began to water, but she was unsure if it was due to her broken heart or the strong alcohol.

"There's no need to be so guarded. We share a common goal." The man refilled Iris's empty glass and poured one

for himself.

Raising his own glass, the man looked at Iris and introduced, "My name is Lawrence. I might be able to help you get

what you want."

After saying that, Lawrence placed a business card on the table and said, "Come to my office tomorrow. Let's talk."

Frowning, Iris looked at the man in front of her with her brows raised in suspicion. "What do you want?"

"I can help you get Jared. If you're interested, come see me tomorrow." Lawrence then walked away, leaving

nothing but his words behind.

Iris, who was slightly tipsy, was left shocked by Lawrence’s words. She sobered up in an instant. Just from that

sentence alone, Iris was very certain that Lawrence knew everything about her situation, and that he understood it

well.

That was why he appeared right here at this very moment; to tell her that he could help her. But why would he

want to help her? That was the question.
