Chapter 2022


    "You don''t have to wear them to work," Jared reassured calmly. Herfort was the most important to


    him.


    Nicole nodded, thinking, ''I avoid wearing them to work. Though I have to wear them during important


    asions.''


    The small talk during the massage made Nicole''s uneasiness gradually fade away. She felt Jared''s


    tenderness, as if a feather brushed across her heart, making her heartthrob.


    Nicole looked at Jared''s soft eyes and gentle movement. Even though he was helping her massage to


    relieve the soreness on her feet, his expression was as if he was taking care of something precious to


    him.


    She bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you."


    Jared looked up and met Nicole''s eyes, but she averted her gaze, unable to maintain eye contact. Her


    face blushed even redder.


    Her blushed face and shy demeanor made Jared smirk meaningfully. He had a bad n in mind.


    "That''s all I get? If you really wanted to thank me, shouldn''t you be more sincere?"


    "Sincere?" Nicole frowned. She was grateful to him. What else did she need to do to express her


    gratitude?


    She directed her confused gaze toward Jared and saw him staring at her lips. Nicole''s cheeks burned


    and rolled her eyes at Jared. "I''m going to sleep now."


    Nicoley down and pulled the nket over her. She even moved toward the bedside in that wrapped


    position, wanting to stay farther away from Jared.


    Jared could not help but chuckle at Nicole''s adorable gesture.


    Hearing hisughter, Nicole uncovered the nket and red at Jared, embarrassed. "You should go


    to sleep too."


    "Alright, let''s sleep," Jared agreed with a smile.


    He wanted to lift Nicole''s nket to join her, but Nicole clutched on the nket tightly, not allowing


    Jared to join her. Thus, Jared embraced Nicole through the nket.


    "Let me go!" Nicole protested, feeling exasperated. Jared was doing this on purpose.


    "Why don''t we sleep together? I could sleep with you in my arms." Jared did notpromise. He had


    no intention of being under the nket alone anymore. He would be satisfied just by embracing Nicole.


    After struggling in vain, Nicole epted that she could not move, so she gritted her teeth and warned,


    "Alright then, but you''re not allowed to move."


    Nicole had no other choice. If they kept debating like this, neither of them would not be able to sleep


    tonight.


    Jared instantly pulled up the nket and extended his arms to hug Nicole. He almost lost his cool when


    a lovely scent drifted to his nose.


    "Hey!" Nicole protested, wanting to break free. However, Jared stopped moving after holding her. Only


    then was Nicole at ease.


    "Go on and sleep." Jared rested his chin on Nicole''s neck. He was fully content with Nicole in his arms.


    Time passed slowly, and the both of them soon fell asleep after a tiring day.


    As the sun began to rise, a new day arrived. After the weing banquet, all of San Joto knew of


    Nicole''s return. Nicole, on the other hand, naturally became the Chairperson of the Riddle


    Corporation''s headquarters. All the shares under Mr. Riddle Sr.''s name were transferred to her.


    In the boardroom of Riddle Corporation, Nicole sat at the head of the table. Sean and Steve sat on her


    left and right side, while the other directors were seated in turn.


    With Nicole''s return and her role as the Chairperson, Daniel as the acting chairman was now able to


    rest at home, enjoying his time with Gloria.


    N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Nicole had not regained her memories after taking over thepany and had no idea about business


    management. However, she did not feel unfamiliar, thanks to the previous information she read. Hence,


    she did not show any signs of guilt while sitting at the head of the table.
