Chapter 1243


    "Ms. Fiore, there''s something I need you to go through personally. Can youe over now?"


    "What''s the matter? Is my assistant around?’ asked Fiore.


    "There were some other matters to deal with, so he left for a while. If you''re noting, we most


    probably have to dy the progress.” Castor exined.


    Fiore replied with slight annoyance, "All of you are a useless bunch. Give me some time, I''m going


    over now.”


    As soon as she hung up, Fiore walked to Jared''s desk and looked at him, "Mr. Jared, I''ll have to


    attend to some matters about the project for a while. I''lle overter."


    "Go on. I won''t be sending you off then." Once Jared heard that she was leaving, he was inexplicably


    delighted.


    "Are you that eager for me to leave?" Fiore bent forward and stared at Jared.


    Jared immediately leaned back, "It''s just that your work there is much more important. You''re


    overthinking it."


    "Okay, I''m leaving now.” Then, Fiore walked out.


    Watching Fiore leave, Jared felt relieved. Tve finally sent her away.’


    Fiore stood in the elevator lobby while waiting for the elevator toe up. Once a ‘ding’ sounded,


    the doors opened and revealed Nicole was in the elevator. The both of them stared at each other


    concernedly. The moment their gazes met, a silentpetition grew between them.


    Nicole slowly stepped out of the elevator and passed by Fiore. After Fiore had already entered the


    elevator, her eyes were still nailed to Nicole''s back up to the moment when the doors closed.


    "When did she return?" Fiore was having a moment of shock in the elevator.


    Nicole walked to Jared''s office. When Jared''s assistant noticed her approaching, he covered his mouth


    in surprise. He wanted to dial Jared and inform him, but it was toote. Nicole was already about to


    push the office door open.

    Jared assumed that Fiore hade back again. So, he looked up and was about to question her.


    But unexpectedly, he met Nicole''s eyes.


    "Why are you here?" Jared froze as a slight sense of guilt rose in him. But in a split second, his face


    broke into a surprised look.


    Yet, Nicole still caught him. She teased him, "Why? Are you upset that I''m not the one you were


    expecting?"


    "What are you talking about?” Jared pretended he did not understand Nicole’s words.


    "Stop acting. I''ve already bumped into her just now.” Nicole did not have much time, so she spoke


    straightforwardly.


    Hearing this, Jared immediatelyughed, "You meant Ms. Fiore?"


    He purposely referred to her with a professional title and not her full name.


    "Was there someone else here other than her?" Nicole sat right in front of him and looked at him


    sternly. She was waiting for him to exin himself.


    "The both of you talked?" Jared asked carefully.


    "No." Nicole looked back at him calmly.


    Jared immediately sighed out of relief. ‘As long as Fiore kept her mouth shut and did not spit


    nonsense, it would be easier for me to exin.’


    "So, the thing is, Henry signed a project with Ms. Fiore previously. Now that Henry isn''t around, I..."


    As Jared was exining, Nicole suddenly interrupted him.


    ‘I don''t have much time today to listen to the whole story. Just tell me what she is here for today." A


    strong aura of pressure from Nicole was ced on Jared.


    "She came today just to discuss the project.’ Jared spitted out a lie brazenly.


    Nicole snorted, "This is my first time seeing someone wear a floral dress to discuss a project."
