Chapter 3014


    After sweeping her gaze over everyone in the room, Nicole dered, "Follow the assignments we just


    discussed. I want to see the draft proposals by tomorrow. Meeting adjourned."


    "Yes, Ms. Riddle," everyone agreed, and the room slowly emptied as they left.


    "Nicole, why the rush with this project?" Steve inquired, examining the file he held.


    "It''s a bit hasty, but the project seems promising. It''s worth a shot," Nicole responded.


    Sean added his agreement, "Definitely worth a shot."


    Nicole smiled slightly, "And we''re not just trying-we''re going to put our full effort into winning this bid."


    "Alright, let''s give it our all and aim to win this bid," Steve said with augh.


    "Once everyone haspiled their content by tomorrow, Lulu and I will go over it and then show it to


    you," Nicole exined.


    Steve immediately shook his head, "No need for that. If you approve the proposal, then I trust it too."


    "But you," Sean added, "don’t overwork yourself. Remember, you can always ask us for help."


    "Okay," Nicole replied with a smile.


    The group stood up and left the conference room, each heading to their respective offices.


    Back in her office, Nicole nced at the files on her desk, picked one up, and started working diligently.


    As the day turned to evening, Nicole left the office, finding Jared already waiting for her.


    After getting into the car, Nicole leaned back in her seat, letting out a long sigh.


    "You look tired," Jared said with a hint of concern.


    "It''s okay. I just want to get the work done quickly, so I didn''t take any breaks," she replied, her mind set


    on efficientlypleting the project.


    Jared gently embraced her, "You don''t need to put so much pressure on yourself. Just do your best."


    "Mhm," Nicole smiled, agreeing softly. She too wanted to give her best effort.


    Returning home, Nicole found that Nn and Lana had already arrived.


    "Mommy, Daddy!" The kids ran over happily upon seeing Nicole and Jared.


    Holding Nn and Lana''s hands, Nicole asked softly, "When did you two get back?"


    "Just now," Lana replied, tilting her head up.


    "And where is Tia?" Nicole wondered, not having seen Tia when they came in.


    "Uncle took us home and then went out on a date with Tia,” Nn exined, shrugging his shoulders.


    They had gone straight to the living room after getting out of the car.


    "I see," Nicole said, leading Nn and Lana to the couch to sit down.


    Gloria smiled and said, "They went out on a date, so I asked someone to check on Mrs. Wace Sr.


    She won''t being over for dinner, but she''s being taken care of."


    "That''s good," Nicole said, relieved that Mrs. Wace Sr. had someone looking after her.


    "You''ve been busy with things, perhaps you can take a break now," Gloria suggested meaningfully,

    pulling Nicole to her feet.


    Nicole, trying to change the subject, said, "Mom, is dinner ready? I''m hungry."


    Knowing Nicole was avoiding the topic, Gloria still responded, "Yes, it''s ready. Let''s eat."


    With that, Nicole stood up with Gloria and headed toward the dining room.


    Daniel also stood up, smiling at Jared and inviting, "Let''s go, Jared."


    "Alright," Jared agreed, and the two of them headed to the dining room.


    "You know Gloria was just asking casually," Daniel exined on the way.


    "I understand. I''ll discuss it with Nicole," Jared replied calmly.
