Chapter 2606
"That's a relief to hear. Have him take two days off to recover," Nicole instructed.
After a moment of brief silence, Nicole spoke up once more. "The electronic component manufacturing company.
Can you arrange a reliable person to manage it?"
Patricia was taken aback by Nicole's sudden approach. "Ms. Riddle, are you really going to go through with this
contract?"
"Yeah, what choice do we have? We've already signed it. Maybe it'll be a blessing in disguise," said Nicole. 'One
thing for sure is that if I don’t go ahead with this contract, Harvey would never let me go. I'd like to see for sure how
capable this guy is. He needs to be taught a lesson.'
"Okay, I'll make the necessary adjustments," Patricia replied, leaving.
Nicole placed the contract into the drawer beside her desk before picking up the other documents on her desk

Soon, the sun was setting over the horizon. Nicole had just gotten out of work and walked out of Riddle Corporation.
Jared was already parked at the lobby waiting for her.
Nicole raised an eyebrow as she saw the silhouette of Jared leaning against his car with the setting sun shining
behind him.
'He looks like a god. How can he be real? He must've saved a universe or something to be blessed with such good
looks, ' Nicole mused. She had stopped in her tracks and was unconsciously staring at Jared with a huge grin.
Jared took slow strides toward Nicole. He reached out and ran his fingers through her hair. "What are you thinking
about?"
"You," said Nicole, reaching up to cup Jared's face.
"How can you be so good looking? Even as a woman, I'm quite jealous of your facial features." Nicole pouted.
Without a word, Jared leaned down and kissed Nicole's forehead. "You look way better than I ever will," he said with
a smile.
Nicole's cheeks flushed bright red when she realized that passersby were looking at them and snickering. She
quickly pulled Jared toward their car.
'This guy can't differentiate between a public space and a private space. How can he do such an embarrassing
thing in front of so many people? Lord, I'm so embarrassed. Right in front of my own company!' Nicole ranted
mentally to herself.
After they settled down in the car, Nicole glanced out the window before signaling Max to start driving. "Max, drive."
Without a moment of hesitation, the car engine revved up.
Nicole sighed in relief and then glared at Jared angrily." You're not allowed to kiss me like that in public anymore."
"Hey, in my defense it was you who said I was good looking first. I was just returning the favor," said Jared in a
matter-of- fact way.
"Then I won't say such things like that again in the future," Nicole snarled, rolling her eyes.

Nicole swallowed and reluctantly grumbled, "Okay, but I won't be telling this to you in public." She was sure that if
she did not agree to it, Jared would surely do the same thing again in the future.
"Let's talk about it when we get home." Jared grinned, a hint of a cheekiness in his smile as he looked at Nicole with
adoration in his eyes.
Although Jared seemed to move on from the topic, a gut feeling told Nicole that he had not let the matter go at all.
In other words she might have dug her own grave.
It was not long before they reached the Riddle residence where the twins had also just arrived home from
kindergarten. They immediately rushed out from the car and ran toward Nicole and Jared.
"Daddy! Mommy!" they screamed as they ran to their parents. "You're back! We just arrived home."
Tia had just gotten out of the car. She walked up to them and greeted, "Mr. Johnston, Ms. Nicole."
"Tia, go get Mrs. Wallace Sr. and tell her that dinner's ready. We're eating in our front yard today," said Nicole.
"Alright, I'll head back and ask her. I'll bring her over if she's joining," replied Tia.
Nicole nodded. "Okay, sure."
