Chapter 1140

Nicole halted in her tracks and kept mum.

The call went silent, and after some time, Jared said, "Well, you're safe now and that's all that
matters.Take care."

Then, he hung up.

Nicole placed her phone down slowly and stood still as she had suddenly lost her interest in the
entertainment facilities.

After a while, Harvey realized that she was no longer following them, prompting him to turn around and
say, "Why are you standing there? Let's go!"

Nicole looked at him.

"I suddenly remembered that I have something I need to do.You should go ahead, I'll catch up with you
later."

Without waiting for Harvey to respond, Nicole left the area, leaving him stupefied as he watched her
leave.

'She became an entirely different person after she answered the call? Did something happen?’

"Kelly, has anything happened before you came here with Nicole?"

Harvey looked at Kelly and asked.

Kelly thought about it as she furrowed her brows, before responding, "No, I don't think anything
happened today.Miss Riddle was doing just fine before we came here, and I didn't receive any urgent



messages either."

"That's weird."

Harvey thought about it as he was confused.

"What happened to her?"

"Harvey, Miss Riddle said that she will catch up with us later.Perhaps she remembered that there was
something that she had forgotten to do," Kelly said, surmising that this was the only explanation.

"Maybe," Harvey replied, although he felt that something else was going on.

"Let's play some games over there while we wait for her." Harvey pointed.

"Sure." Kelly beamed, as any chance to be alone with Harvey was a good thing for her.

Nicole took the elevator back to the room and closed her door.She sat down by the window as Jared's
words raced across her mind in continuous fashion.She looked at the picture that she had taken with
Jared on the phone as a smile unconsciously crossed her face.

'What's wrong with me? Why am I smiling at a picture? He was the one who was being all intimate with
Fiorella, so how could I forgive him just because of that one line? I can't do this!' Nicole calmed down
and laid down on her bed, facing the ceiling as she stared into space.

When she picked her phone up and opened Jared's chat log, she suddenly wondered if she should
give Jared a call.

All of a sudden, Jared's request for a video call popped up on her screen.

Nicole's heart skipped a beat, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she clicked on the green button.



Their faces were immediately on full display.

Jared was leaning against a chair as he watched Nicole on the screen.

"Are you lying on a bed?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмhe asked with a brow raised.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Weren't you with Harvey moments ago? Are you..."

Jared's eyes widened in an instant as he thought, 'Are they really.."

"I am back in my room."

Nicole could guess what he was thinking, so she quickly killed that thought for him.

Jared was relieved when he heard her answer.

'Thank God she explained.Otherwise, I would really buy a plane a ticket and fly over to meet her"

"You just hung up, so why are you video-calling me again?" Nicole looked upset as she looked at him.

"I probably called you on accident," Jared said, being stubborn and egotistical once again.

"I see.Well then, let's end the call," Nicole responded, acting as though she was about to hang up, as
she wanted to rid Jared of his obstinacy.

"It's okay, since we're already here, let's just stay on the call," Jared said, and stopped acting as
stubbornly as he did.

"Okay then, just say what you need to say," Nicole stated, giving him another chance to admit his
mistake.



"Are you two alone on this trip?" Jared asked, evidently still concerned about the issue.

"If I said no, would you believe me?" she asked.

"Of course. Who else is there?" Jared continued asking.

‘He obviously doesn't believe me"

Nicole looked at Jared on the screen and remained silent for quite some time, as she wanted to make
him anxious.
