Chapter 2041
''What Jared said makes sense,'' Nicole thought to herself as she epted the reality of the situation
and followed Jared into the restaurant.
The restaurant''s ambience instantly rxed Nicole as she allowed herself to sink into the atmosphere.
As soon as Jared sat down, he heard someone calling out to him in a tone of surprise.
"Mr. Johnston!"
Soon, an attractive looking woman stood before them. Jared shot her a nce before taking a look at
the menu and handing it to Nicole.
"Order whatever you feel like eating. The dishes here should fit your pte," Jared said.
Nicole flipped through the menu, though she could not keep her mind from wandering off to the thought
of the woman she had just met. ''Who is the girl? It seems that they are pretty close to each other, but
she isn''t in his list of contacts. There''s no reason as to why that is, unless she''s not important.''
"Mr. Johnston, who is this?" the woman asked, noticing that Jared seemed to be really concerned
about the woman sitting in front of him.
''I''ve been around Jared quite frequently for the past five years, but never have I seen another woman
like her around him, let alone one whom he would disy so much affection to. This is interesting,'' the
woman thought.
"My wife," Jared coldly replied.

"You''re married? How was I not aware of that?" she asked, her startled voice bing louder.
In response, Jared frowned, and a hint of irritation crossed his eyes. "Just do your job properly. There''s
no need for you to poke your nose into my personal affairs."
The woman quickly snapped out of it, and with her face as pale as a sheet, she apologized, "I''m sorry, I
was just a little perplexed earlier. I shall excuse myself now."
After she had spoken, the woman quickly turned around and left, not wanting to stay in the room for a
second longer in fear of provoking Jared''s ire.
The woman was in shock when she discovered the truth about Jared being married, hence her inability
to keep herselfposed, leading her to blurt the question out by ident. Jared had never permitted
anyone to discuss the matters of his personal life, not even in private. It had be an unspoken rule,
which had seen unanimous understanding among the employees at Johnston Group.
''I''ve been in thispany for five years, and I''ve been by his side for the longest time. Yet, I have
never seen him with a woman by his side or heard mentions of him being married. He didn''t even have
a girlfriend, so where did this ''wife'' of hise from?'' the woman thought to herself.
As she reached for the door, she turned back and nced at Nicole while gritting her teeth. Then, she
left.
After Nicole had finished ordering, she gave Jared a slight nce, "Admirer?"
"Administrative secretary," Jared exined.
''Iris is great at her job. Doesn''t talk much and has worked for us for quite some time now, but to be my
admirer…?'' Jared thought to himself.
He was uncertain if it was true, but he did not put it to heart, as he was over the moon upon noting
Nicole''s jealousy.
A hint of yfulness was present in Jared''s eyes as he asked in a deep voice, "Why? Are you
jealous?"
Nicole looked away awkwardly. "Who? Me? Jealous? As if."
"Really?" Jared raised his eyebrows a little.
A yful glint was present in his eye as he looked at her.
Nicole felt shy as Jared had seen right through her.
She lowered her head and stared at the menu while muttering, "Well, your business has nothing to do
with me."
"Nothing to do with you? You''re my wife. Though it''s possible that she''s one of my admirers, aren''t you
supposed to tell them to knock it off?" Jared chuckled, noticing that Nicole was avoiding any attempts
to discuss the topic.
"Stop. Don''t go around telling people that I''m your wife when this matter has yet to be resolved," said
Nicole.
''Until my memories have been fully recovered, there will be no definite way of telling what''s toe,''
Nicole thought.
"We have a marriage certificate, so you are my legal wife," Jared smiled. ''And this will never change.''
