"I really envy Mr.Johnston and Miss Riddle." Fiorella smiled as she looked at them, feeling somewhat
jealous inside.
'What is wrong with me? How come I feel this way?' "What does Miss Riddle do for a living?" Fiorella
casually chatted with Nicole.
"I'm a student." Nicole looked at her.
"I have nostalgic memories of my school days.I can still remember all the good and heart -breaking
moments as a student." Fiorella lamented.
"I guess Miss Fisher had a colorful student life, right?" Nicole looked at her and spoke casually.
"It was relatively relaxed when I was in school because I didn't have to worry about my homework."
Fiorella boasted.
Nicole nodded in acknowledgment.
"I can tell.Otherwise, you wouldn't be where you are today."
She knew that those who could dine with Jared must also be someone prominent.
"Thank you."
Fiorella gladly enjoyed Nicole's compliment.
Jared barely said a word to Fiorella during lunch.
"When you're done eating, I will take you somewhere." Jared looked at Nicole, his eyes full of her.
"I'm done."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Miss Fisher.We have some business to attend to, so we will make a
move first."
After Jared politely said goodbye to Fiorella, he took Nicole's hand and left the room.
Fiorella watched as Jared and Nicole disappeared into the doorway.
After they were gone, she put away her smile, got up, and went to the window, below which was Jared
bringing Nicole into a cart and driving off in a direction.
"Where are you taking me?" Nicole asked curiously.
"You'll see when we get there." Jared kept her in suspense.
It was a big place.
They drove for another ten minutes in the cart before stopping at a turf.
"This can't be a horse farm, can it?"
Nicole guessed as she looked at the long horse barn.
"How did you get so smart? You guessed it in a heartbeat."
Jared had wanted to surprise Nicole because she had said on the way over that it would be nice to
have horses.
Nicole smiled and looked over at him, surprised by how mindful of what she said.
"Thank you.I'm so happy."
"Come on, let's go in and pick a horse."
Jared never let go of her hand.
"Isn't there a horse breeder to take us to choose a horse?" Nicole asked.
"Yes, there is, and he should be working inside.Hello, is anyone there?"
Jared asked in a loud voice.
A horse breeder in the long horse barn looked up from what he was doing and fixated his gaze on the
entrance.
"Jared, when did you get here? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The horse breeder did not have a trace of timidity when facing Jared but sounded like he was meeting
an old friend, his tone natural.
"I was supposed to come here for business and leave, but my fiancée wanted to ride a horse, so I
came on a whim."
Jared did not have his usual persona at all.Here he had a more down-to-earth aura, a different kind of
charm.
"How are you, Uncle Ronnie?" Jared asked.
"Very well. This is your fiancée, isn't it?"
Ronnie Willis stood up, studied Nicole for a second, then nodded in satisfaction.
"Jared, you are a lucky man."
