Chapter 1205


    "You''re here just in time, Ike. Help me see if I''ve missed anything." Nicole looked at Ike and thought,


    ‘Finally, someone can help me.’


    Ike looked around as his eyes ranged over the equipment in the office.’ Everything''s here already. This


    ce is almost as good as myb now."


    "Yeah, okay. Still, this ce is not remotelyparable to yours. How''s the preparation going on your


    end?” Nicole stopped what she was doing and looked at Ike.


    ‘A few members of my team have not arrived yet, so I suppose your team is more disciplined than


    mine.” Ike looked at Nicole in admiration.


    "We''re just fine." Nicole smiled humbly.


    "Well, I''m not going to stick around for a chat. I''ve got to go back and start preparing too,” Ike said, after


    which he left Nicole''s workce.


    Nicole watched Ike as he left and smiled is everyone here?” Nicole asked, eyeing the people in her


    office.


    All of them looked around and it was then that one of them said, "One of us isn’t here yet.”


    ‘Call that person and ask them where they''re at."


    "Okay."


    Kelly, Harvey isn''t here too, right?’ Nicole looked at Kelly, who was beside her.


    ‘He told me he was on his way when I texted him earlier,” Kelly said.


    "Alright.”


    "Before we begin, let''s have a discussion. You can state your opinions. Tell me what you think about


    this chip.” Nicole looked at them.


    While they were discussing, Harvey arrived and walked in after pushing the door open, and for a


    moment, he locked eyes with Nicole before taking a seat.


    Nicole was at the front, going over the ways in which she could work with the R&D personnel. Soon


    after, the person who got stuck in traffic barged in as he panted heavily, rushing to join the discussion.


    After it was over, Nicole charged a few of them with the task of developing the chip, and though


    everyone was assigned a different responsibility, all of them would be working collectively toward the


    same goal.


    From time to time, someone would call out to Nicole and say, "Please have a look at this. Miss Riddle.


    The office was busy, but Harvey was afforded the privilege of being the mostid-back person in the


    room. However, he did not justze around, as his eyes were fixed on Nicole. His gaze followed her


    wherever she went. He knew that Nicole was busy, so he did not wish to bother her. All he could do


    was watch her in silence.


    As soon as lunchtime came, Harvey went up to Nicole to speak to her. Unfortunately for him, Ike, who


    was slightlyte, had walked over too.


    "Wow, you really are working hard. Usually, you''lle over early for lunch. Why are you thetest


    among everyone today?” Nicole teased.


    "I won''t allow myself to lose to you. For the entire morning, I haven''t drank a single sip of water.” Ike


    said before he gulped a big ss of water down.


    "Seriously? You have so many people working with you, but you don''t even have the time to drink


    water?" Nicole said, unable to believe what he was spouting.


    "I''m serious.” Ike replied with a look of defeat.


    As the exchange urred, Harvey red at Ike as he was utterly annoyed with him.


    Back in the office, Jared was working when someone walked in after opening the door.


    "Mr. Johnston, I''m d you''re finally back, as the project might be dyed if you aren''t.” Fiore fussed


    as she entered Jared''s office.


    "It seems that the news got to you rather quickly, Miss Fisher. I just got back yesterday and you''re


    already here today," Jared joked as he looked into Fiore''s eyes.


    "Oh, that''s very charming of you to say, Mr. Johnston. You were the one who brought me here.” Fiore


    looked at Jared affectionately.

    Jared was rendered speechless and changed the subject at once. "Did youe here to talk about the


    project?”


    ‘Yeah, I can''t believe I actually forgot about the elephant in the room after looking at you," she said. "Mr.


    Johnston, though Henry has fled to another country, I signed this contract with the Johnston Group,


    and that is why it''s still in effect. Thankfully, it''s stated in the contract that you and Castor are the people


    in charge of this project. This why I''m now talking to you about it."


    Fiore smiled. To her, Henry''s absence was a boon, as Jared would not have an excuse to avoid her


    anymore.
