Chapter 2859
Suddenly, an idea occurred to Nicole, and that was when she looked up at Jared and suggested, "Why don't we turn
the tables?"
"Are you suggesting..." Jared furrowed his brows, mulled over it for a moment, and nodded. "Alright."
Since their adversaries had taken action, they could very well use this opportunity to capture the mastermind.
Turning to Max, Jared ordered, "Spread the word tomorrow. Tell everyone I will be traveling abroad."
"Yes," Max replied.
"Do it discreetly. Make sure nobody catches what you're up to," Nicole added, offering her addendum to the first set
of instructions.
"Understood. I'll make the arrangements accordingly," Max assured.
After Max had left the office, Nicole flipped through the documents in her hand and said, "Looks like we'll have to
get this done today regardless of what."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce their task today was complete, they would be able to set their sights on Eastern Falcon and devote
themselves to bringing the organization down to its knees.
"It's almost done." Jared took the documents from Nicole and kissed her on the forehead. "I can handle the rest
myself. You should take a power nap. I'll wake you up when it's done."
Nicole nodded, knowing that all there was left for them to take care of was some amendments. "Okay."
The final step to the process would be Jared's decision on what to do next. Thus, it would be best if she left him to
take care of it while she got some much needed rest.
After a few minutes of waiting, Nicole slumped over and fell asleep.
Jared got up and walked up to her the moment he caught sight of her snoring on the couch. He draped her with his
coat and adjusted the thermostat in the room, making it warmer and thus more comfortable for her. Nicole was still
asleep even after he was done with the last bit of his work about an hour later, so he opted not to wake her up and
carried her out of the office instead.
By the time he had made his way out of the foyer, Max was already waiting forthem with the car parked at the side
of the street.
After placing Nicole in the car, Jared caught a glimpse of her furrowed brows, which indicated that she was in
discomfort. He could not help but smile as he scooted over to give her more space.
"Mr. Johnston? Everything has been arranged," Max's baritone voice blared out..
"Good. You'll board the plane tomorrow and leave. One of us must be there to handle the issue in person," Jared
ordered.
"Yes, I'll get someone to impersonate you, Mr. Johnston. There won't be any leaks," Max reassured.
Since Jared's double would be the one leaving for the business trip, the real Jared would be staying back here in San
Joto.
"Okay." Jared nodded, his voice carrying a hint of satisfaction.
Then, as he shifted his gaze to the falling leaves outside of the window, his eyes darkened. This time, he was
determined to discover the scoundrel who had managed to enlist the Eastern Falcon to their cause; the very same
scoundrel who could rouse the greed of an organization as elusive as the one they were dealing with.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs the sun rose, Nicole slowly opened her crusted eyes to the glaring rays lancing down from the slits in the drapes,
causing her to raise her hand to shield herself.
After she had gotten over the initial wave of grogginess, Nicole furrowed her brows. 'Is this... my room?!'
Everything object around her seemed familiar, reminding Nicole that she was indeed in her home and in her room.
However, she could not understand why she was at home, when she should be in Jared’s office right at this second.
After all, that was the last place she remembered she was in. To add to the confusion, it was already daytime.
Realizing what had happened, Nicole shifted her gaze to the left and saw Jared, who seemed to have just woken up.
"You brought me home last night, didn't you?" she asked, having remembered bits and pieces of the night before.
She must have slept off, and Jared must have carried her home without waking her up.
"Sleep longer if you're still feeling tired." Jared remarked when he saw that she still looked a little worn out.
"It's okay."
Although she had not gotten the amount of sleep she had been accustomed to, it was getting late now, and she
needed to go to work, regardless of whether she was well- rested or not.
Knowing that Jared must have slept much later than her, Nicole said, "You should sleep in a little longer. I'm going to
work."
Then, Nicole got out of bed and went to the bathroom to freshen up, whereupon she changed into a set of new
clothes before walking out.
