Chapter 1882


    Nicole rolled her eyes at him. "Who said I missed you?"


    They had just met earlier in the day, and Nicole was not the clingy type.


    However, Jared teased her, "You don''t miss me? I''ll leave then."


    As he uttered those words, Jared got up, ready to walk out.


    Seeing that, Nicole had no choice but to reply, "Fine, quit that act. Tell me, what happened at Riddle


    Corporation today?"


    Even if she did not feel like seeing Jared, Nicole still wanted to discover the truth of the situation from


    him.


    Jared pursed his lips, looked at her, and purposely said, "A minute ago, you were chasing me away.


    And now, you''re asking me to stay? Aren''t you being a little insincere?"


    Nicole could tell that Jared was just messing around, so she walked over and gave him a peck on the


    cheek. "Is that enough?"


    Nicole blushed as she did so. She was still not used to it.


    Jared did not continue to annoy her.


    Instead, he hugged her and said, "It''s enough."


    As soon as had spoken, he pulled Nicole into his arms, locked her in a tight embrace, andid in bed.


    "We''ll lie down and continue this conversation."


    Nicole looked at his flirty eyes and smacked Jared''s hands. "You hold a conversation with your mouth,


    not your hands."


    Jared could not help it.


    He looked at Nicole and continued in a serious tone, "I did some investigation on my part, and all I


    could find was an anonymous letter. But there was something strange about this letter in that it could


    pinpoint all of the problems in Dillon''spany. So, I suspect that..."


    Nicole finished his sentence calmly. "It was from someone from within thepany."


    "That''s right." Jared nodded. "Other than thepany''s staff members, no one could hit the nail on the


    head like this."


    Nicole''s gaze turned a little cold, "It seems that we cannot let our guard down on all the internal and


    external matters yet, even though thepany has grown stronger than ever."


    Although Nicole was not in charge of thepany, most of the shares were in her hands. Thus, she


    had the responsibility to safeguard thepany.


    "Good thing you''ve asked Dillon to separate his operations from the main office." Jared pursed his lips.


    "It was a lot easier for me to take matters into my own hands. Those inspectors are all about evidence.


    As long as we can present any form of solid evidence, there wouldn''t be much problems. You should


    tell your dad not to worry about it."


    "Got it." Nicole curled her lips.


    Her gaze, whichnded on Jared, softened a little. "I did not expect you to go over to the Riddle


    Corporation and help me solve this matter. Thank you."


    Jared felt at ease upon hearing it from her. "How are you going to thank me?"

    As he spoke, Jared''s palmnded on Nicole''s waist again.


    Nicole frowned. "Aren''t we getting married tomorrow? Initially, I was a little hesitant. But now, I''m


    absolutely certain of my decision."


    After all, for such an attentive person, what was Nicole hesitant about?


    "Hesitant?" Jared raised his eyebrows. "I''m the perfect man for you, and yet you''re still hesitant?"


    As he was speaking, Jared pressed himself onto Nicole''s body in domineering fashion. "You deserve to


    be punished."


    Nicole dodged Jared''s kiss in annoyance, but no matter how hard she tried, she failed in the end.


    Night passed, and the next day came in the blink of an eye. Jared did not sleep in. Instead, he woke


    Nicole up in the wee hours of the morning. Then, he walked out of her room.


    Nicole proceeded to pack everything up and had breakfast with the family. After that, she carried a light


    luggage and left the house.


    Gloria and Daniel, as well as Nicole''s brothers, then sent her off at the entrance.


    Gloria, in particr, seemed to be reluctant to let Nicole go. "Pleasee back soon."


    "I will." Nicole nodded.


    She still had sses on Monday, so she definitely had to return early.


    Jared smiled and said to Gloria, "The both of us wille back as soon as we can, but I''m thinking of


    going for a honeymoon straightaway."


    Gloria did not expect Jared to have nned everything thoroughly. After all, marriage was a once in a


    lifetime milestone.


    Not wanting to pressure her daughter, she said, "In that case, you guys can n things out. If you can''t


    come back in time, I''ll help you apply for a leave of absence for the school''s side of things."


    "Mom..." Nicole''s eyes widened, not expecting that Gloria would allow, let alone suggest for her to be


    absent from school.
