Chapter 2156
Nicole furrowed her brows.
Then, when she realized what he was trying to say, she immediately rolled her eyes and said, "Stop fooling around
and let go of me."
She even swung her arm in an attempt to free herself from Jared's grip.
Nevertheless, Jared refused to let go of her, and a mischievous smile crossed his face as he said, "Or perhaps I can
give you a farewell kiss myself."
His lips were about to touch Nicole's when she immediately exclaimed, "Stop... Fine, I'll do it."
A hint of amusement flashed in Jared’s eyes as he raised an eyebrow, waiting for Nicole to take the initiative to kiss
him.
Nicole bit her lip. With Jared's dashing face in close proximity, she could feel her heart pounding uncontrollably.

the car, strode toward the company building, hearing the beats of her heart in her ear. It was beating rapidly, and
her cheeks were flushed and burning.
'This jerk is just too much! Why is he comparing himself with the kids?!' she fumed.
Watching as Nicole scuttled away, Jared's smile grew wider.
He could still feel the softness of her lips on his cheek, and unable to help himself, he raised his thumb to feel that
spot she had just kissed.
Max glanced at Jared through the rearview mirror and hesitated for a moment, not asking Jared if he should start
driving.
Seemingly able to sense what Max was doing, Jared leaned back in his seat and said, "Let's go."
"Yes, sir." Max started the car and drove away.
The entrance of the Riddle Corporation became quiet, and no one had noticed the carthat was parked nearby.
As it turned out, Lawrence had witnessed everything that had just happened, filling his eyes with dark malice.
'At the end of the day, even if she didn't remember Jared, she still fell in love with him all over again, didn't she?' he
thought.
"Mr. Lawrence, are you... still going in?" Ian asked hesitantly.
At this juncture, he did not even know if he should comfort Lawrence about the incident that just happened
moments ago.
"Yeah," Lawrence grunted softly as he opened the car door to get out.
He had returned yesterday but had not come to visit Nicole as he was busy. With that said, he had decided to show
up today instead, just to be met with this scene, which broke his heart a little.
However, he could not simply give up like this. After all, he had protected her for five years, and he could not just let
go of his feelings.
After regaining his composure, Lawrence entered the Riddle Corporation building and went to Nicole’s office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mr. Lawrence," Lulu politely greeted him when she saw him.
"Hey," Lawrence responded politely.
Lulu then picked some of her documents up and nodded in acknowledgment before leaving.
Nicole smiled and stood up. "You're back."
"I came back yesterday, but I was busy, so I didn't come to say hello," Lawrence casually replied.
Thinking about yesterday's incident, Nicole flashed him a wry smile and said, "Even if you came, I might not have
had the time to meet you."
After pausing for a moment, Lawrence asked, "Has everything been resolved?"
Nicole was not surprised by his question. Since he had returned, he must have known about the incident yesterday.
Nicole nodded and said indifferently, "Yes, it's been taken care of."
"That's good." Lawrence said, displaying hints of regret as he carried on. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you at this time."
"No, I know you're busy, I can handle it myself anyway." Nicole smiled, though her tone sounded somewhat distant.
For some reason, she felt that they had grown apart.
It felt as if the distance between them had suddenly grown, making him feel as if he was a stranger to her without
any particular reason.
