Chapter 2623
Nicole walked to the window and looked at the courtyard outside.
Jared's car slowly came to a stop. He got out and walked into the house.
Nicole drew her gaze away. Just as she turned around, Jared had already pushed open the door and approached
her.
"You're back," Nicole said with a smile. In the next second, Jared embraced her.
"Were you waiting for me?" Jared asked softly, lowering his head to kiss her forehead.
Nicole wrapped her arms around Jared's waist, tilting her head to meet his gaze. "Why are you so late?"
"An impromptu international video conference came up. I came back as soon as it ended," Jared explained while
taking Nicole away from the window.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Oh, I was wondering why you were so late."
Jared smirked as he teased her, "You were worried about me, weren't you?"
"Mhm," Nicole admitted, leaning her head against Jared's chest. "Of course, I was worried."
"You could’ve called me," Jared cooed, gently stroking
Nicole's hair.
"I didn't want to disturb you in case you were dealing with something important." Nicole shook her head. She was
hesitant, but she ultimately decided not to call him.
Jared cupped Nicole's face in his hands, his eyes filled with sincerity. "You can call me anytime, okay?"
No matter what he was busy with, Jared would always answer her call as he did not want her to worry.
Nicole responded with a smile. "Well, next time, I can come and keep you company when you're busy."
She did not want to bother Jared, nor did she want to affect his work. Besides, she would not have to worry about
him if she was around him.
Jared raised an eyebrow, a hint of mischief in his eyes. "Are you sure you won't be a distraction to me?"
Looking into Jared's eyes, Nicole quickly understood what he meant. Her cheeks immediately flushed as she gave
him a reproachful look. "I'd be there to accompany you while you work, not to seduce you. How could I be a
distraction?"
Jared chuckled softly, knowing that he could not resist paying attention to her whenever she was around, whether
she was trying to seduce him or not.
Nicole seemed upset. "What's so funny?"
"Nothing." Jared gently grasped Nicole's hand. "Alright, from now on, you can come and keep me company."
Satisfied, Nicole scoffed as if saying, 'That's what I'm talking about.'
"Come on." Jared pulled Nicole along.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Wait, where are we going?" Nicole blinked in confusion.
Jared's eyes glinted mischievously. "To take a bath and sleep."
Nicole was taken aback. She knew that Jared's idea of" sleep" was definitely not what she understood it to be.
While she was still in a daze, she was already being carried by Jared toward the bathroom.
"Wait, you go first."
"It's okay. We can go together."
"I think it's not necessary."
"I think it's a very good idea."
The sound of rushing water echoed in the bathroom, along with Nicole's discontented protests...
The next day, the sun shone brightly, and the breeze was gentle and calm.
Nicole arrived at the company. As soon as she entered her office, Sean and Steve came in.
"Hey, Sean. Hey, Steve," Nicole said in surprise. "It's still early. What's up?"
