Chapter 2859


    Suddenly, an idea urred to Nicole, and that was when she looked up at Jared and suggested, “Why


    don’t we turn the tables?”


    “Are you suggesting…” Jared furrowed his brows, mulled over it for a moment, and nodded. “Alright.”


    Since their adversaries had taken action, they could very well use this opportunity to capture the


    mastermind.


    Turning to Max, Jared ordered, “Spread the word tomorrow. Tell everyone I will be traveling abroad.”


    “Yes,” Max replied.


    “Do it discreetly. Make sure nobody catches what you’re up to,” Nicole added, offering her addendum to


    the first set of instructions.


    “Understood. I’ll make the arrangements ordingly,” Max assured.


    After Max had left the office, Nicole flipped through the documents in her hand and said, “Looks like we’ll


    have to get this done today regardless of what.”


    Once their task today wasplete, they would be able to set their sights on Eastern Falcon and devote


    themselves to bringing the organization down to its knees.


    “It’s almost done.” Jared took the documents from Nicole and kissed her on the forehead. “I can handle


    the rest myself. You should take a power nap. I’ll wake you up when it’s done.”


    Nicole nodded, knowing that all there was left for them to take care of was some amendments. “Okay.”


    The final step to the process would be Jared’s decision on what to do next.


    Thus, it would be best if she left him to take care of it while she got some much needed rest.


    After a few minutes of waiting, Nicole slumped over and fell asleep.


    Jared got up and walked up to her the moment he caught sight of her snoring on the couch. He draped


    her with his coat and adjusted the thermostat in the room, making it warmer and thus morefortable


    for her. Nicole was still asleep even after he was done with thest bit of his work about an hourter, so


    he opted not to wake her up and carried her out of the office instead.


    By the time he had made his way out of the foyer, Max was already waiting forthem with the car parked


    at the side of the street.


    After cing Nicole in the car, Jared caught a glimpse of her furrowed brows, which indicated that she


    was in difort. He could not help but smile as he scooted over to give her more space.


    “Mr. Johnston? Everything has been arranged,” Max’s baritone voice red out..


    “Good. You’ll board the ne tomorrow and leave. One of us must be there to handle the issue in


    person,” Jared ordered.

    “Yes, I’ll get someone to impersonate you, Mr. Johnston. There won’t be any leaks,” Max reassured.


    Since Jared’s double would be the one leaving for the business trip, the real Jared would be staying back


    here in San Joto.


    “Okay.” Jared nodded, his voice carrying a hint of satisfaction.


    Then, as he shifted his gaze to the falling leaves outside of the window, his eyes darkened. This time, he


    was determined to discover the scoundrel who had managed to enlist the Eastern Falcon to their cause;


    the very same scoundrel who could rouse the greed of an organization as elusive as the one they were


    dealing with.


    As the sun rose, Nicole slowly opened her crusted eyes to the ring raysncing down from the slits in


    the drapes, causing her to raise her hand to shield herself.


    After she had gotten over the initial wave of grogginess, Nicole furrowed her brows. ‘Is this… my room?!’


    Everything object around her seemed familiar, reminding Nicole that she was indeed in her home and in


    her room. However, she could not understand why she was at home, when she should be in Jared’s


    office right at this second. After all, that was thest ce she remembered she was in. To add to the


    confusion, it was already daytime.


    Realizing what had happened, Nicole shifted her gaze to the left and saw Jared, who seemed to have


    just woken up.


    “You brought me homest night, didn’t you?” she asked, having remembered bits and pieces of the


    night before.


    She must have slept off, and Jared must have carried her home without waking her up.


    “Sleep longer if you’re still feeling tired.” Jared remarked when he saw that she still looked a little worn


    out.


    “It’s okay.”


    Although she had not gotten the amount of sleep she had been ustomed to, it was gettingte now,


    and she needed to go to work, regardless of whether she was well- rested or not.


    Knowing that Jared must have slept muchter than her, Nicole said, “You should sleep in a little longer.


    I’m going to work.”


    Then, Nicole got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up, whereupon she changed into a set


    of new clothes before walking out.
