Nicole began to feel shy when she noticed that Jared was approaching her.
Fortunately, he was only there to help her put on the bathrobe and was back at his seat as soon as that
was done.
Then, he joined him at the table and took a sip of warm water.
"Max called," Jared said.
"Martin only sustained some minor burns on his hand.He'll be fine after a few days of rest."
"Okay."
Nicole nodded, finally at peace.
"Let him catch some rest for a few days then."
Instead of responding to that, Jared, with eyes betraying his longing and affection, said, "Just stay here
tonight.You should get some good rest too."
His invitation to Nicole was hard for her to refuse out of courtesy, but the moment she thought of
Mrs.Wallace Sr., she shook her head.
"I've been away for so long.Grandma must've missed me.I'd like to go home tonight."
Noticing that Nicole was more concerned about Mrs.Wallace Sr.than himself, Jared began to sulk.
"What about me? You've been away for so long, and I've missed you very much too."
With that last line spoken, Jared stood up, moved forward, and pinned her to the chair, his nose close
to hers and his breath on the verge of caressing her cheeks.
Nicole felt a sense of tension within her at once.
‘Every time this guy comes close to me, my heart races..."
Unable to withstand it anymore, she placed her hands on his shoulders and lightly pushed him away.
"Fine, I'll just bring you along.Is that okay?"
"Since he enjoys sticking with me, I'll just let him tag along" she thought.
Jared was a little annoyed, but the decision made him feel better anyway.
Lowering his head, he gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Fine.Consider this the ‘interest’.
As for the ‘principal’, I'll collect it some other day."
With her cheeks turning bright red, she responded by teasing, "You're such a jerk!"
Jared flashed her a smirk and stood up, "You should change.I'll send you home later."
Nicole at his back as he walked out.
Then, she breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to change, and when once she had gone
downstairs, she noticed that Jared was already waiting for her in the car.
As Nicole got in the car, she saw that Jared had just hung up.
"Why? Did you manage to find any clues?"
Jared shot her a glance.
Then, he ignited the engine while saying, "Yeah, I've discovered something about the cause of the
fire.Although the power supply unit was in flames, there were no signs of arson.I've asked my men to
thoroughly inspect the units before this.They were all in good condition before the accident occurred."
Nicole's brows began to tighten.
'If this accident was deliberately planned and executed by someone, there is no doubt that this person
must be an expert.He left no traces behind at all"
"Keep investigating, then.If someone had done it, they must have left a trail for us to find.Even the devil
can't hide his cloven hoof," Nicole said, certain that the perpetrator would be discovered eventually.
"You're right," Jared affirmed.
"Anyway, you should think about what you'd like to eat for dinner.I'll ask Claus to prepare them."
Nicole could tell that Jared wanted to arrange a scrumptious meal for Mrs.Wallace Sr., but she shook
her head.
"Grandma is pretty much used to simple things now.If you're going to give her something decadent,
she'd feel uncomfortable.I think a few simple dishes for dinner will do."
"Alright."
Jared drove them to the sea view villa without objections, and before they knew it, they had arrived.
To her surprise, Tia and Mrs.Wallace Sr.had been waiting for them at the door. Shocked, she turned
toward Jared, "Did you inform them?"
"What do you think?"
Jared smiled.
Then, he got down from the car and opened the door for Nicole.
