Chapter 46


    Jared started to frown with frustration as he wondered. He called his assistant, Max, over and


    whispered something into his ear. Max nodded gently After some time, Nicole’s order arrived, and she


    noticed that there were two coffee mugs. She looked up at Max, who brought her order, and signaled


    him to exin himself wiith her eyes. Somehow, Max, who was under Nicole’s stare, felt as if he was


    facing his boss. He wiped the sweat on the edge of his forehead and said politely, “Miss Riddle, this is


    the café’s new product. Since you have a deep understanding of our coffee, the café owner specially


    ordered me to send you a cup for you to have a taste.” ‘The café owner?’ Nicole turned around and


    saw Jared casually ying with his coffee mug. When he saw her looking over at him, he smiled


    yfully and gestured for her to drink the coffee. Nicole felt like he seemed to want her to try the new


    product.


    She thought about it and raised her mug to have a sip indifferently. The new coffee was rich in vor


    and was packed with a dense taste. It was not the usual taste of coffee, and she had fewments in


    her mind.


    Jared watched her as she was drinking the coffee.


    Nicole took some time before shemented, “If I’m not mistaken, this is probably the coffee beans


    harvested from Mr. Johnston’s private estate in France. The bitterness of the beans was turned


    pleasant, and thetest freeze-drying technique was applied as the processing method. The low


    temperature will keep the original taste of the coffee beans and allow them to be heavily frothy. The


    coffee filled with a rich aroma will leave only a pleasant taste in the mouth with no sourness.


    Before Max could speak, Jared was already walking toward Nicole as he pped. “Not bad at all.


    You’ve got a good taste, Miss Riddle! You’ve got everything right.” Jared had waited for her for a few


    days, and she, as expected, did not let him down. Not only did this girl know about the coffee beans


    from his estate, but she had also tried the newest product before.


    “Miss Riddle, my coffee beans are the newest batch. There isn’t enough time for us to send some to


    Mr. Ellison, so where have you tasted it?”


    At that moment, Nicole’s expression changed. It turns out that Jared still had not gotten over it. Was he


    setting traps for her? Nicole could tell that he did not believe her lies at all!


    Jared just took a seat across from her when he saw her slightly panicking. He then stared at her


    teasingly as he waited for her response. “Besides, why are you so familiar with the coffee beans from


    my private estate? You even know about the processing methods so well.”


    Jared would only introduce a few roasting techniques to the people visiting his privatend. But the few


    friends he had were all high-ranking bigshots.


    No matter how Nicole got her hands on his coffee, the person who sent her the coffee beans they had


    gotten from Jared must have highly regarded Nicole.


    Jared got more intrigued about Nicole’s past as he thought about this.

    Nicole saw that she could not hide the truth anymore, so she did not bother looking for excuses.


    She looked him dead in the eye and smiled. “Obviously, the reason I know about it is that I drank the


    coffee from the owner of that estate. Besides, I’ve had it for years.”


    Jared was even more surprised as his coffee would only be sent to the most powerful people in the


    world. Besides, the supply was very limited.


    And Nicole actually said that she had drunk his coffee for years?


    His fiancé was incredibly mysterious.


    “Last time, you said Mr. Ellison let you drink it, Miss Riddle. It was obviously a lie, so would you be so


    kind as to disclose the identity of the friend who gave you the coffee beans?”


    “No.” Nicole smiled. Her smile was graceful and not rude, but it had kept his mouth shut.


    It was the first time Jared was rejected by someone, so his eyes squinted slightly.


    But he could not force Nicole as her identity was still a mystery.


    “Alright, seems like I could only do my own research.” Jared smiled as his enticing eyes met hers mid-


    air.


    Max could not help but gulp as he watched them. Both were equally matched, staring at each other like


    they were in a battle.


    “It’s up to you.” Though Nicole was a little bothered about the power of the Johnston family, her identity


    could not be dug out so easily, so there was not much for her to be afraid of.


    Jared was even more impressed with her when he saw her acting so calmly.


    To be able to withstand his presence, Nicole was definitely not a country girl, let alone a normal student


    ‘Interesting, how interesting! Nicole took another sip of coffee and said slowly, “Is Mr. Johnston Sr. fully


    recovered? Do you think he can meet visitors now?”


    Jared concentrated on Nicole as his smile grew deeper. He did not expect Nicole to bring up such a


    thing


    “No,” Jared responded coldly.


    He returned Nicole’s word to her.


    Nicole arched her brows slightly as she thought, ‘This rascal, Jared. sure holds grudges.’


    “It’s alright. I’ll head over when he is avable. After all, I’m still young. Don’t dy your own marriage,


    Mr. Johnston.” Nicole smiled brightly before she buried her head in her book again.


    Jared’s expression froze in a split second. ‘This youngdy sure knows how to provoke people!’
