Chapter 1283


    "Remember what I said on the rooftop at the base?" Harvey looked Nicole in the eye, and the two


    locked eyes, sharing a relieved smile.


    Jared was watching them when he suddenly interrupted their fond memories.


    "Shouldn''t you share such a delicious cake with everyone?"


    Having bested Jared by a slight margin, Harvey nced at him with a smug look on his face. "What is


    the hurry? We will share the cake right away."


    "Nicole, you make the first cut." Harvey handed Nicole a table knife.


    "Me?"


    "Yeah."


    Nicole took the knife and thought about it for a moment, after which she turned to Kelly and beckoned


    her over. "Come over, Kelly."


    Then, she he looked at Kelly and Harvey. "Since we are celebrating the return of all three of US, it is


    only right that we cut the cake together. Come on, let''s do it together.”


    “Okay.” Harvey looked at her and grabbed her hand while Jared watched on.


    The three of them proceeded to cut the cake together, after which Harvey took the knife from Nicole,


    took the first slice of cake, and handed it to Nicole. "Here you go."


    Nicole dly epted, while Jared watched without uttering a word, though he was quite upset.


    Then, Harvey cut the second slice of cake and handed it to Kelly.


    "Other than Nicole, you are the only woman here.”


    “Thank you, Harvey,” Kelly said, smiling happily as she imed the slice of cake which Harvey had cut


    for her.


    After that, he cut another slice for Martin and handed it to him.


    ‘Thanks Harvey," Martin said.


    Finally, he cut a slice for himself and ced the knife down without giving any for Jared. Nicole looked


    around and was about to pick the knife up to cut a slice for Jared when he refused.


    "I haven''t been enjoying sugary food itemstely, so you guys can go ahead. Then he grabbed his


    cutlery and enjoyed his meal alone.


    Harvey''s mouth curved up in a smirk. He proceeded to enjoy the cake while chatting with Nicole,


    completely ignoring Jared.


    Jared was listening in on Nicole and Harvey''s conversation, ready to chime in whenever he had the


    chance. However, they were talking about everything that had happened abroad, making it difficult for


    him to interrupt. In fact, Harvey was doing this on purpose. He knew that Jared certainly would not


    have the opportunity to chime in if he talked about things at the base abroad.


    Nicole suddenly issued a sigh midway through the conversation, and that was when Jared knew that


    his chance hade. "What''s wrong? Why are you sighing all of a sudden?"


    Harvey knew that he had screwed up. He was too engrossed in the conversation and had totally


    forgotten about Jared''s presence, allowing him to exploit the situation.


    As expected, Nicole turned to Jared with a look of sadness in her eyes.


    "The reason we came back this time round is that, when we were manufacturing chips abroad, my


    proposed solution didn''t work. I was so frustrated that I decided to return home.” Nicole confided her


    frustrations in him as soon as she looked at him.

    Jared finally understood why Nicole had been wearing the frown from the time he saw her until now.


    As it turned out, something had been bothering her. "I didn''t know that. Can you show me your


    proposalter?"


    Nicole nced at Jared in surprise, then she remembered what he had told her before.


    She smiled. "Okay."
