Chapter 1166
Ike watched Nicole's eyes light up, but unbeknownst to him, there was a pair of eyes
staring at him, its gaze dark and cold.
Sensing that, Ike looked over, and that was when he spotted a face that he did not wish
to see.
"Why the hell is he here?" Ike asked with a frown.
Nicole tracked his gaze and saw both Harvey and Kelly standing at a spot not far from
them.
Upon being noticed, Kelly waved at them at once.
Nicole arched her brows as she knew that Kelly had no interests in technology or
exhibitions of the sort. It was the reason as to why Nicole did not even bother to invite
her in the first place, but what surprised her even more was the fact that Harvey was
there with her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing that Nicole had noticed him, Harvey walked over to Nicole whilst pretending as
though Ike was not there at all.
Nicole shot both Harvey and Kelly a frown as she asked, "Why are you here?
Then, she looked at Kelly and remarked, "I thought you weren't interested in tech exhibitions."
Kelly automatically turned to Harvey and said, “l-l'm interested in checking it out now. Am I not allowed?"
Nicole caught her gaze and thought, 'This love-struck lady definitely came over with Harvey.'
Nicole could not help but look at Harvey. "So, you're the one who has a keen interest in the technology exhibition,
right?"
Harvey dared not deny it, as he knew that Nicole was clever enough to have known; she could definitely have
guessed it if he did not tell her anyway.
’Yeah, I am," he admitted, after which he turned to the stage and continued. "But I'm not as interested in it as you
are. So, what do you think? Are you intrigued by the chip?"
Harvey narrowed his eyes, and Nicole could immediately sense that he was pushing her for an answer.
"No," she said.
Knowing Harvey, she he would never admit it even if she did, or else, he might find a way to give the chip to her the
very next day. She knew how he would go about doing it, but she did not wish to complete her project so recklessly.
"Are you for real?" Harvey asked as he looked at her with his eyes squinted.
He could tell that Nicole really liked the chip. In fact, she needed it.
In response, Nicole shook her head. "That is just a prototype. I might be able to create something better..."
As long as she had information she needed, she could always invent something better, and she was confident about
it
Harvey had no choice but to believe her. He knew that if Nicole said that she could pull
something off, she would always do whatever she could to make it happen.
"Okay then." Harvey then stood next to Nicole. "Let's watch it together."
As he spoke, he was already inching closer to her left, while Ike was standing to
Nicole's right, sandwiching her. While Kelly felt immense pressure by just looking at
them, Nicole was completely unfazed by the tension as she stood comfortably between
them.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKelly could not help but admire this quality of hers, but she went up and stood next to
Harvey anyway.
Meanwhile, Ike, who had noticed that Harvey was moving closer to Nicole, could not
help but furrow his brows. 'Why is this weirdo always lingering around her? I already
don’t have a lot of alone time with her as is...'
He unconsciously grabbed Nicole's hand the instant he thought about this. ’ Let's step
forward a little."
Nicole was stunned, but she did not wrench her hand away from his as there were a lot
of people around them. Instead, she allowed him to bring her over to a spot that was a
little closer to the stage. Either way, she had very little reason to be in such close
proximity to the stage. She already knew what she wanted to know, so she just came
along to see if there was anything special going on in the subsequent session.
As for what Ike had done, she kept mum about it, as he had released his grasp on her
arm rather quickly. The exhibition was already coming to an end anyway. However, this
had left Harvey feeling very upset. 1
