    Nicole and Ike were chatting andughing as they were walking to the parking lot outside. Thinking that


    Jared was not here to pick her up,

    Nicole looked around with a sense of disappointment swelling within her. Then, Ike said, "It seems that


    Mr. Johnston isn''t here..."


    Before he couldplete his sentence, a dazzling light beamed out and elongated Nicole and Ike''s


    shadows.


    Jared got down from the car and looked at Nicole, "Are you done with work?"


    As soon as Nicole saw Jared, a happy smile appeared on her face. Just as she was about to walk


    toward Jared, she suddenly remembered that Ike was with her. She turned over and looked at Ike, "It


    seems that someone hase to pick me up. I guess I won''t be able to take a ride home with you


    today. Sorry."


    "It''s fine. I feel more at peace knowing that Mr. Johnston is here to pick you." Ike smiled, as he did not


    seem to be embarrassed at all.


    "See you tomorrow.” Nicole bade Ike a goodbye and walked toward Jared.


    "Why didn''t you tell me that you''re picking me today? I almost left with Ike." Nicole nced at Jared


    and ranted.


    "I wanted to give you a surprise. Get in." Jared opened the door for her.


    Nicole and Jared both climbed in, after which Max started the engine and drove to the hotel.


    “You worked till..." Before Jared could finish his words, Nicole immediately interrupted him.


    "I know. But I must let you know, the chip design which I''m working on currently is crucial. So, I''ll be


    quite busy for the next few days. If I''ve ignored you in any way, I hope you would understand. Besides,


    this chip will be very important to you too." Nicole forced a smile as she offered him a serious


    exnation. The chip..." Jared stared at Nicole''s eyes and thought for a while. "Okay then. Since you''ll


    be pretty upied with work, and that too for me, I''ve decided to send you to and fro every day. Are


    you happy with it?"


    "For real?" Nicole did not expect Jared to make her such an offer, and for each and every day too.


    ‘That''s amazing!’


    "Yes, for real. But I might be flying home anytime. I''m not sure how for long I will be able to do this


    daily." Jared looked at her seriously.


    "It''s fine. Every trip counts." Nicole wrapped her arms around his with a smile on her face.


    “You must''ve not eaten yet, right? What do you feel like having now? We''ll head over there now." Jared


    asked her affectionately.


    “It''s been a while since I had meat puffs. Do they have it here?” Nicole''s big eyes were blinking as she


    looked at Jared.


    Jared furrowed his brows. Indeed, Nicole had thrown him a challenge this time round. Snacks like meat


    puffs were easily found everywhere back at home. But now that they were abroad, it would be quite a


    challenge to find them.


    Jared looked at Nicole with his brow raised, "Are you really craving for it? Or are you just joking?"


    Nicole sat up straight and looked at Jared, unsmiling, "Do you think I look like I''m kidding right now?"


    Seeing that Nicole was serious about this, Jared pursed his lips and ordered, "Max, find a restaurant


    that has meat puffs.”


    "Sir, the nearest shop is twenty minutes away," Max informed.


    "Can you wait for another twenty minutes?" Jared asked Nicole.


    "Yeah."


    "Try and reach that ce as quickly as possible," Jared instructed.


    "Alright." Max floored the elerator and the car dashed forward like a bullet discharged from the


    barrel of a gun.
