Chapter 1685
Nicole answered the call through her Bluetooth earphone.
"Hello? Nicole?" the voiced asked.
"Ike?"
It had since been a long time since Nicole had gotten a call from Ike, and yet, she instantly recognized his voice.
"Hello, Miss Busy. Do you still remember me? I heard not too long ago that you've entered the entertainment
industry now." Ike said on the other end of the phone, teasing Nicole with his feet propped up on his desk.
"I'm just helping a friend out with a favor. How are you doing?" Nicole asked.
"What else can I do? I'm continuing with the research after you've left, now that Scott Harmon has placed all the
burden onto my shoulders," he replied.
"I'm sorry." Nicole sighed.
She had no reason to stay there.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"There's nothing to be sorry about. Scott was tremendously apologetic. When he came back and found out that
you’ve quit, he fired two of the employees that had given you a hard time," he explained.
"Such a thing happened?" Nicole asked, not knowing that Scott had gone back and fired those two employees.
"Well, it seems that Scott was a little too ashamed of himself to contact you personally, so he got me to do the
honors instead," Ike said.
Nicole nodded. "I understand. No hard feelings. Tell him that I'm not really bothered by the issue anymore."
Nicole was quite grateful. Had it not been for the meddling of the two employees, she would not have returned to
San Joto so soon and they would probably still have been stuck there trying to complete the project.
"However, Scott has heard that your research on manned flying cars is almost complete. Is it also equipped with an
Al system?" Ike went straight for the throat as he got serious.
Nicole narrowed her eyes. "How did you know?"
'Logically speaking, none of the manned flying cars have been launched into the market yet, and the temporary
addition of the Al system has been subject to constant changes, so... how did he find out?' she pondered.
On the other end of the phone, Ike was stunned. "Scott told me that he was very concerned with the pace of your
development, and you know for a fact that my speed is nowhere near to being comparable to yours..."
Nicole was kind of hurt when she heard that Scott had found out about her progress. 'Is it possible that he sent
someone to spy on my work and progress?'
A suspicious feeling arose in her gut, but as far as she knew, Scott was not that the sort of person who would do
that. In addition, there was no likelihood that Ike would tell her lies. Her trust for them was the only thing that
offered her relief at the moment.
"It doesn't matter. Scott's worry is valid. After all, if it goes public here it will affect his products down the line," she
said.
"Yeah...but I still would like to have a look at your new product. When will you be hosting the launch?" Ike asked.
Nicole hesitated for a moment when she heard that Ike was eager to come along.
"Why? Will it be an inconvenience? I can promise that I only want to see your product, and not copy them." Ike
instantly explained when he noticed Nicole's hesitation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole noticed that Ike had thought that she did not want him to come due to the concern of plagiarism of her
products, and so, she shook her head. "No.'
Nicole was not afraid that her technology would be stolen, as what she had in store only continue to develop.
"Forget it, you can come if you want. I'll send you the exact time and date later on."
Ike was also a researcher himself, and as such, it was normal for him to be intrigued by things like these.
"That's really great! Thank you, Nicole! I'll see you when I get back!"
Nicole nodded and hung up. She stared blankly at her phone for a while before storing it away, her heart filled with
minor doubts.
At this time, the makeup artist, who had done makeup, said," Miss Riddle, you're gorgeous..."
"Yeah, the makeup today looks really good," Gwendolyn, who was standing at the side, said.
Nicole took a glance at herself in the mirror, and realized that she was looking better than ever. "Thank you!"
"No problem!" The makeup artist smiled.
Gwendolyn then guided Nicole onto the set to prepare for the filming of the next scene.
Lloyd was smitten by Nicole's beauty the instant he cast his eyes on her. "Nicole, you look amazing."
