Chapter 1156

“Oh, just ask Harvey about lunch," Nicole said. "I just woke up, so I don't really have an appetite just
yet."

“Are you okay, Miss Riddle?" Kelly asked Nicole with a look of concern as she thought Nicole was
feeling unwell.

“I'm fine. I’m just a little tired.”

“In that case, we'll bring some food up so that we can eat together. “

“No, don't worry about me,” Nicole said.

“I'll grab something when I'm hungry.”

“Have a good rest. I'll go talk to Harvey now.” Kelly then walked out of Nicole's room.

Nicole no longer felt sleepy after she had been awakened by Kelly, so she showered and put on a fresh
set of clothes before walking out of her room.

“Miss Riddle, weren't you going to get some rest? Why are you out and about?" Kelly asked when she
and Harvey bumped into her as they left their rooms.

"I couldn't sleep after you left, so I wanted to take a stroll outside. I didn't expect to bump into the both
of you." Nicole looked at them, surprised.

"Well, we'll join you then.” Harvey walked over to Nicole.

"Yeah, we'll keep you company and have a meal with you right after.” Kelly smiled as she linked arms
with Nicole.



"Won't you be starving yourselves then?"

"Nah, we're not that hungry yet.” Harvey looked carefree as he stared at Nicole. ‘As long as I'm with
Nicole, hunger is the last thing on my mind.’

"Let's go then.” Nicole took the lead and made her way to the elevator.

"Nicole, let's catch a movie in the afternoon since we're all free. What do you think?" Harvey
suggested.

To Harvey, travelling abroad was equivalent to going on a vacation. This time, he had Nicole with him,
and with Jared out of the picture, he wanted to do what he would have done if he was out on a date
with Nicole.

"Sure," Nicole responded without hesitation.

After taking a stroll in the garden, Nicole began to feel hungry, so she looked at them and asked,
“Should we have our lunch now?"

“Sounds good,” Kelly said.

"Harvey, do you have any good recommendations?” Nicole asked playfully as she looked at Harvey.

"Let's see." Harvey began to ponder.

"There's a barbeque restaurant across the street, right? Should we give it a try?” Kelly pointed at the
barbeque restaurant and suggested.

“Sure," Harvey agreed.

"Why are so quick to agree to it? Do you have nothing in mind?" Nicole teased him.



"You wish. I just think that barbeque is an excellent choice," Harvey replied in a serious tone of voice.

Nicole smiled as she looked at him.

"Let's go then."

“What's the deal with that look on your face?" Harvey asked as she turned her back on him.

Nicole ignored him and sauntered off to the barbeque restaurant with Kelly.

After they had entered the premises, Nicole found a quiet spot by the window and sat down. "Just order
whatever you want, Kelly.”

“Okay,” Kelly uttered.

The trio then chatted with one another at the table, making the atmosphere ever more joyous.

“Nicole, judging by speed of the progress in terms of research, how long do you think we're going to be
here?" Harvey asked as he looked at her.

“I think we can go home in a few days,” Nicole responded.

“Wow, that soon?" Harvey blurted out, slightly shocked as he looked at her with his eyes widened.

“Why? Don't you want to go home?" Nicole asked.

“No, it's just that we'd always let go of a project only after monitoring it for a few days," he fumbled.
“Don't you think you're letting go of it a bit too soon?”

Harvey was just making up excuses at this point. He just did not wish to go home, as that would mean
that he would no longer be together with Nicole every day anymore.
