Chapter 1456
“I''m fine, but what''s the deal with Fiore?" Nicole asked Martin directly.
"Fiore Fisher? What are you talking about?" Martin asked sloppily.
"Don''t y dumb with me. She''s in Jared''s ward. Do you want me to go on? " Nicole asked, her tone
icy.
She was not expecting Martin to withhold such an important piece of information from her.
It was then that Martin suddenly remembered the cloud surveince camera in the ward. ‘Nicole
must''ve seen Fiore through it’
"So, you already knew about...Fiore. Well, uh, I couldn''t leave Jared alone in the ward. I have other
things that I need to deal with. After much consideration, I think that Fiore is the best person suited to
take care of Jared, and that was why I came up with that decision,” he said with traces of guilt in his
voice.
"Where''s Max when you''re busy?" Nicole asked.
"Max haspany matters to deal with too, and with Jared locked in his current state, no one else in
thepany knows what to do. Max and us have been busy with thepany’s affairs. They
asionallye over to visit Jared, but they would leave whenever they receive a phone call," Martin
replied, exining the predicaments that Max and us were into Nicole.
Upon hearing Martin''s words, Nicole anger began to dissipate. Indeed, Max and us had been
working hard ever since Jared fell into aa.
"Martin, I Know that you''ve been worried about this, but to let Fiore take care of Jared? Don''t you
know how Fiore feels about him?" Nicole said bluntly.
"I know precisely how Fiore feels about Jared, and that was why I entrusted her with the task of
taking care of Jared. Otherwise, I wouldn''t be able to deal with my own stuff. There isn''t anyone else
that''s more suited to look after him right now,” he said.
"This is the reason as to why I didn''t ask you for your opinion. Firstly, you were out of reach, and
secondly, I was afraid that you would disagree if you found out," Martin continued, expressing his
concerns freely.

"Martin, am I an unreasonable person to you?" she asked.
"Of course not. It''s just that I didn''t arrange things well,” Martin replied, knowing that Nicole wasn''t
angry anymore right after he had heard what she had to say.
"Anyway, when are youing back?" Martin asked.
"I still have some difficult things to deal with here. I can''te back for the time being. As for Jared, I''ll
leave him in your and...Fiore’s hands for now,” she replied after some hesitation.
"Don''t worry about Jared. You should take care of yourself over there,” Martin reminded with concern.
"Don''t worry about me, Martin. There is one more thing I need you to keep as a secret for me,” she
requested.
"What''s that?” he asked.
"If Jared wakes up, don''t tell him that I''m now abroad. You must not let hime and look for me,”
Nicole said in a stern voice.
"That will be difficult. I mean, if everything can be dealt with before he wakes up and he asks me about
you, I''ll... Anyway, it won''t take that long for you toe back, right?" Martin hesitated with a hint of
embarrassment.
"I''m not sure how long I''ll take," she blurted out.
"Bottom-line is, if Jared wakes up and I haven''t returned by then, you must never let him know that I''m
not in the country. You must keep this as a secret from him!” Nicole urged.
“Alright, I''ll try my best to keep it a secret, but it''lle a day when he discovers the truth, and I''m not
to me when he does," Martin said, not wishing to deceive Jared again.
"I hope that you''ll be able toe back soon so that I won''t have to lie to him again,” he said.
"Mr. Wyance, everyone has a few questions they''d like to ask you." Charles said aftering out of the
conference room and walking up to Martin.
"Okay, I''ll be right back." "Go ahead and take care of things on your end first. Bye,” Nicole said upon
hearing everything that was happening on Martin''s end.
