Chapter 1127

"Ah crap..."

Nicole muttered as Tia pushed her to the rooftop.

When Jared Johnston heard the voice and looked over, he locked eyes with Nicole.

Sparks flew the instant their eyes met.

Nicole quickly averted her gaze and directed it at her grandmother.

"Grandma, I'm back."

Nicole walked up to Mrs.Wallace Sr.with a smile and sat down.

"Tia has returned," Mrs.Wallace Sr.said.

"I was just asking Jared here about you, saying that you haven't seen anyone for several days now."

"I've been busy with work these days, so I didn't come back," Nicole explained with a smile.

"Oh, but then, you must pay attention to your health.You could be earning a lot, but what good would
that do to you if you fall ill?"иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмMrs.Wallace Sr.advised.

"Yes, what grandma said was right,"

Nicole concurred.

"Anyway, I'll be going abroad on a business trip in a few days.I'll be sure to come back and visit you
after that."



"You have to be off again?" her grandmother enquired.

"And to such a place that is so far from home?"

"Yeah, there is something over there that requires my attention.I've been urged by the ones working on
the project for a while now."

Nicole looked at Mrs.Wallace Sr.and explained.

"You're going abroad?" Jared asked with his brows raised.

‘Why was I not aware of this at all?' he thought.

"Well." Nicole glanced at him.

"When are you leaving?" he asked.

"What can you even do?" she asked back.

"I'll send you off," Jared replied.

"There is no need for that, because someone else will do so," Nicole stated.

When Jared heard that, he grimaced, and he shot her a bold guess, "Is it Harvey Ellison?"

Nicole looked at Jared in surprise, "What makes you think that it's him?"

"You..."

Jared stopped, wanting to point out that she had been living with Harvey Ellison these days, but with
Mrs.Wallace Sr.beside him, he swallowed the rest of the sentence.

"Aren't you two always together these days?"



Jared looked into Nicole's eyes.

Nicole sneered and rolled her eyes at Jared.

''What did you even see, that you've arrived to this conclusion?"

"Now, that's funny."

He looked at Mrs.Wallace Sr.and hesitated for a moment before proceeding.

"Weren't you having lunch with him the other day and well, as of late too?"

"I wasn't expecting you to have one hell of an imagination.You can really connect the dots when there
is none, can't you? How amazing." Nicole said while giving him a scoff.

"I am not even going to rise to that," he responded.

"Grandma, would you like to go downstairs and eat some fruits?" Nicole asked after looking away from
Jared.

"Sure."

Mrs.Wallace Sr.uttered, after which Nicole helped her up.Jared stared at Nicole's back as she left.

Confused and upset, his face took on a sour expression.

"What was that all about?' he thought.

In order to make himself clear, Jared got up and joined them in the living room, and when the three of
them had been seated on the couch, Jared's kept his eyes fixed on Nicole, an act which made her feel
uncomfortable.



"Don't you have to work to do?"

Nicole asked, implying that he should get back to work.

"It is a Sunday."

Jared looked at Nicole, rendering her speechless.

"Then you can just take a seat and chill out."

Nicole gave him a sideway glance, and proceeded to turn her gaze on the television.

"Grandma, what kind of shows do you like to watch?"

Nicole turned to talk to Mrs.Wallace Sr., ignoring Jared.It was then that Tia came over with a platter of
fruits in hand.

"Hey Jared, have some fruits."

"Okay," he replied.
