"He'll be there. Otherwise, Aunt Emma will definitely notice something unusual.- Nicole nodded.

Emma would not think too much about his absence if she remained convinced that he was still on his trip abroad.

However, she would definitely find it suspicious if he did not return for Emery's wedding.

"Do you think Patricia will attend the wedding with Ellar?” Lulu asked Nicole, her brows raised in curiosity.

Lulu's gossipy nature being in full swing amused Nicole, who replied. "If you're so curious, why don’t you ask her

yourself?"

"It's not that I don't want to ask. I'm just worried that if I do, Patricia won't show up," Lulu said, explaining her

dilemma.

Then, Nicole smiled and said, "She probably won't be there."

But she cares a great deal about Ellar. Isn't she worried about the fact that he's still injured?" Lulu argued, puzzled

and in disbelief.

'Seriously?!' she thought.

"Ellar's injury should be fine by now. Besides, everyone from the Riddle family will be there. Think about it. Can

anything ever happen to Ellar with the rest of us around?"

With that said, Patricia should be able to cut herself some slack and stay home.

Initially, Nicole did not want to tell Lulu that Patricia would not show up, even if she was worried about Ellar. After all,

Patricia had probably not decided if she would come along or not, so Nicole did not want to give Ellar any false

hopes.

Without thinking too much about it Lulu nodded and agreed. "That makes sense. It's just a bit of a pity. I wonder

when Ellar and Patricia will really be together, and if it's even possible."

She felt that two people should seize the opportunity and make the relationship happen if they happened to have

feelings for one another.

As they chatted, lunch break passed.

"Ah, it's time to get back to work again. Switching to productivity mode now," Lulu stood up and declared.

Nicole smiled, stood up, and marched toward her desk. After Lulu was gone, Nicole got busy with her work.

In the blink of an eye, dusk arrived, giving the sky its distinct shade of purple and blue.

Upon getting out of the office building, Nicole spotted Jared's car. She walked over quickly, wanting to greet him

after a long day when she found that Jared was not in the car.

This confused her, so she turned to Max and asked, "Why are you alone?"

"About that, Mrs. Johnston. Mr. Johnston has a ton of work he is yet to complete, so he has asked me to drive you

home first," Max explained.

After getting into the car, Nicole leaned back against the seat and ordered, "Take me to his office."

Max hesitated for a moment, after which he agreed anyway. "Sure, Mrs. Johnston."

He started the car, and the two made their way to Johnston Group.

Upon arrival, Nicole went up to Jared's office and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Hearing Jared's voice, Nicole opened the door and sauntered into the office.

As expected, Jared was surprised to see Nicole walking in." Why are you here?"

"Working overtime is hard, so I came to keep you company." Nicole smiled and walked up to Jared's desk.

A trace of tenderness flashed in Jared's eyes. He placed the files back down on the desk, stood up, and came to

Nicole's side.

"Aren't you supposed to be working?" Nicole asked, somewhat surprised.

"Let's have dinner first. I might have to work until late at night. You may head home once we're done eating," Jared

explained.

"I came here to accompany you, so how can I leave without you?" Nicole said, clinging onto Jared's arm and taking

on a more coquettish air about her. "If Mr. Johnston doesn't mind, I can offer some help. Please don't chase me

away, Mr. Johnston."

A loving smile crossed Jared’s face at that instant, whereupon he nodded. "Sure.”

"Thank you, Mr. Johnston." Nicole beamed.

Jared then raised his hand and gently caressed her hair. "To the couch if you please."

About a minute after they had sat down on the couch, Max brought dinner in for them.

While they were eating, Nicole casually asked Jared, "What is it that is so urgent?"
