Chapter 1362


    After a while, the old butler came over, "Mr. Johnston Sr.? Your lunch is ready."


    "Jared, Nicole? Let''s go,” Mr. Johnston Sr. said while looking at them.


    Nicole quickly went over to support Mr. Johnston Sr., helping him toward the dining room. Both Jared


    and Nicole then apanied Mr. Johnston Sr. to his first meal after returning to the Johnston family


    manor.


    Jared and Nicole bade Mr. Johnston Sr. farewell after they had finished the meal.


    In the car, Jared looked at Nicole and asked, "What did you do to make him like you so much? This is


    the first time I''ve heard him showering others with praise.”


    Nicole shot Jared a frown before asking, "What do you mean? Are you unhappy that he likes me that


    much? Or do you think I''m that hard to like?’


    Jared suddenly fell silent upon being bombarded with these questions.


    ‘Why aren''t you talking anymore? You still owe me an exnation.” Nicole looked at Jared and said.


    "Of course, I''m happy. My taste in women has always been the best.” Jared''s mouth curled up in


    triumph.


    ‘I didn''t ask you to boast. I asked you to give me an exnation.” Nicole frowned demanded, as Jared


    was too shy and embarrassed to say it.


    "Well, I''ve given you the exnation, and that''s all you''re getting," Jared said arrogantly.


    Noticing that Jared was still refusing to give her a direct answer, she did not press on further. Instead,


    she reached out to turn the music on and crank the volume up.


    “I''m going back to the researchb, you can drop me off there,” Nicole said in amanding tone of


    voice without waiting for Jared to speak.


    Jared shot her a nce, and the corner of his mouth lifted. “Okay.”


    He then floored the elerator and drove toward the Golden Coast Building.


    Soon after, they arrived at the lobby of the Golden Coast Building, during which Jared turned to look at


    Nicole and said, "We''re here.”


    Nicole turned around and was about to get off the car when Jared asked, ’ Should Ie and pick you


    upter?”


    "Sure," Nicole responded softly, whereupon she closed the door and made her way into the building.


    Jared watched as she walked in, before driving away to his headquarters.


    On the way there, Jared''s phone rang.


    "Mr. Johnston, I''d like to go and pick up the red wine in a bit. Are you at HQ right now?" Fiore''s voice


    red out from the speakers.


    "Yeah," he responded.

    “Alright, I''ll see you in a bit." Fiore smiled and hung up.


    Not long after Jared had arrived at the office, Max walked over to him and said, "Mr. Johnston, the


    person in charge of escorting Henry was ambushed on the way. I can''t reach him now."


    Jared stopped in his tracks and looked at Max with muzzled eyebrows, ‘Send someone to get him right


    away. We must bring Henry back at all costs! We can''t let him get away again!"


    "Yes, sir." Max turned around and went to deal with the matter.


    Jared walked up to his personal elevator and pressed the button to call it down.


    A voice suddenly called out to him from several yards away. Jared followed the source and direction of


    the voice and saw that it was Fiore, who was walking toward him.


    ‘I guess I have no choice but to wait for her,’ he thought as he waited for her. Fiore then sauntered


    over and stood beside Jared. "I didn’t expect that I''d bump into you in the lobby. What a coincidence."


    Indeed, Fiore was delighted to see Jared. ‘I haven''t seen him for a while now, no thanks to the


    project.’


    “How did you arrive so quickly?" Jared asked Fiore with a look of surprise.
