Chapter 1141
"Nicole?" Jared shook his phone. "Is the call dropping?"
Nicole laughed at him. "No, Kelly is here with us too."
'He probably won't be sleeping tonight if I don't tell him about this,' she thought.
"Who’s Kelly?" Jared asked, confused as he did not seem to know that person.
"My new assistant. That lady who used to be Chloe's assistant in the studio," Nicole explained.
"Oh." Jared uttered, and ceased worrying as he began to recall who that was.
"Has Miss Fisher seen you today?" Nicole asked, bringing Fiorella up as a topic of conversation
on purpose.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"No, why did you suddenly think of her?" Jared looked at Nicole with his brows raised.
"If you can ask me about Harvey, why can't I ask you about Fiorella?" Nicole retorted, upset.
"Of course you can, you can ask me about anybody." Jared knew what Nicole was trying to say, so he quickly
relented.
She knew that Jared was giving her a half-hearted response, so she rolled her eyes. "Do you have anything else to
say? If not, I’ll hang up now."
"No. Remember to let me know before you come back. I'll pick you up," Jared said, taking the initiative to patch
things up between them.
"We'll see, then." Nicole did not want to let him go easily, so she hung up at once.
After lying aimlessly on her bed for a while, she suddenly remembered that Harvey and Kelly were still upstairs.
With this in mind, she switched her phone off and left her room before taking the elevator.
Harvey and Kelly were playing with a claw machine, and while Kelly looked very engrossed with the game, Harvey
seemed to be rather distracted.
The instant he saw Nicole coming out of the elevator, Harvey quickly welcomed her. "Nicole, why did you go away
for so long?"
"Eh, are you trying to get a plushie?" Nicole dodged his question and shot him one of her own as she saw Kelly
playing.
"Yeah, we've gotten a few," Harvey responded, still figuring out why Nicole had left for so long.
"Miss Riddle, you're finally back. Help me with this plushie, please. I've tried one too many times, but I just can't
seem to get it." Kelly said, looking rather resigned.
"Let me see." Nicole walked over.
"Are you talking about the blue elephant?" Nicole asked Kelly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Yeah, that blue elephant." Kelly pointed at the plushie in the machine.
"Okay, I'll give it a shot," Nicole said. "It's not my fault if I can't get it, though."
"Of course not," Kelly replied. "It's not easy to get it at all."
"Give me a token." Nicole flashed her palm.
Nicole pushed the joystick, causing the claw to hover above the elephant. After a three second
delay, the claw grabbed the elephant's head, after which Nicole quickly tapped the button twice,
bringing the claw up with the elephant.
Kelly, who was really nervous, held her breath as she mumbled, " You can do it... You can do
it..."
Under the eyes of the trio, the claw firmed its grip on the elephant and released it the instant it
was above the hole.
Kelly cheered. "We got it! We got it!
"You're amazing, Miss Riddle!" Kelly hugged Nicole with the elephant in hand.
