Chapter 2977
"Is Ellar's problem still not sorted out?" Jared asked, with a slight frown on his brow.
Nicole shook her head in response to Jared's question. "I just can't shake the feeling that
something's off," she admitted.
Sighing, she said, "I guess all we can do is wait and see." If there was really an issue with
EIIar, the truth wouldn't stay hidden for long.
The thought that something might be amiss with Ellar lingered in her mind. The mystery
deepened with Patricia's apparent unawareness of Ellar's recent activities. 'Wasn't he
supposed to be with Patricia? Why would he lie about that?' Nicole pondered, a frown
creasing her brow as she mulled over these questions.
Jared reached out, gently ruffling her hair in a comforting gesture. "Go take a shower and
head to bed. We'll figure out what's going on with Ellar in due time."
Jared, despite the oddities in Ellar's behavior, didn't seem overly concerned. He believed

disclose, which explained his secrecy.
Nicole inhaled deeply, trying to ease the turmoil of her thoughts, and then made her way
to the bathroom.
The warm bath helped her relax, and before she knew it, she drifted off to sleep.
Jared, noticing the unusual delay, checked on her and found Nicole asleep in the tub, her
cheeks flushed with warmth. With a resigned smile, he gently lifted her out of the bath,
wrapped her in a bathrobe, and carried her to their bedroom.
Once nestled in the comfort of their bed, Nicole instinctively curled up, a peaceful
expression on her face as she slipped back into a deep sleep.
As Nicole curled up like a kitten, Jared couldn't resist smiling. He sat by the bed, gently
drying her hair with a towel.
Nicole woke up slowly and saw Jared. She smiled softly." Why didn't you wake me?"
Jared put the towel aside and playfully ruffled her hair. "You needed the rest."
Nicole turned to face him, resting her chin on her hand." Now I'm not sleepy."
Her bathrobe slipped off her shoulder slightly. Jared's expression shifted subtly at her
playful look.
In a deep, meaningful voice, Jared said, "If you can't sleep, I'm here to help."
Nicole, surprised, watched Jared come closer.
She thought about moving away, but it was too late.
In the next moment, Jared kissed her...
Three days whisked by.
Nicole fell into her regular pattern of commuting to work, the mysterious car from before
now absent.
Each morning, Jared consistently offered Nicole a lift to Riddle Corporation.
Settled in the seat, Nicole posed a question to Max, her voice tinged with seriousness,
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Any leads yet?"
"Seems like they're still playing it safe, just watching,” Max responded in a low tone.
"Then let's not dwell on it," Nicole replied with composure." We can't let this disrupt our
lives."
Max paused, his voice carrying a note of uncertainty. "What if..." He trailed off, but
inwardly he was gripped by concern, thinking, 'What if they catch us off guard and you get
hurt?'
Nicole, as if intuiting Max's concerns, reassured, "Don't worry. I'm tougher than I look, and
you've already set up security for me. That's why I've made up my mind about the
Lanningbourg project."
"Are you sure that's wise?" Max questioned, his voice laced with worry. The project
demanded her presence for negotiations, a point that naturally sparked concern.
The task meant traveling to a foreign land, and the specific request for Nicole to be there
in person hinted at a possible hidden agenda.
