"You don't have to wear them to work," Jared reassured calmly. Her comfort was the most important to him.
Nicole nodded, thinking, 'I avoid wearing them to work. Though I have to wear them during important occasions.'
The small talk during the massage made Nicole's uneasiness gradually fade away. She felt Jared's tenderness, as if
a feather brushed across her heart, making her heartthrob.
Nicole looked at Jared's soft eyes and gentle movement. Even though he was helping her massage to relieve the
soreness on her feet, his expression was as if he was taking care of something precious to him.
She bit her lip and whispered, "Thank you."
Jared looked up and met Nicole's eyes, but she averted her gaze, unable to maintain eye contact. Her face blushed
even redder.

you really wanted to thank me, shouldn't you be more sincere?"
"Sincere?" Nicole frowned. She was grateful to him. What else did she need to do to express her gratitude?
She directed her confused gaze toward Jared and saw him staring at her lips. Nicole's cheeks burned and rolled her
eyes at Jared. "I'm going to sleep now."
Nicole lay down and pulled the blanket over her. She even moved toward the bedside in that wrapped position,
wanting to stay farther away from Jared.
Jared could not help but chuckle at Nicole's adorable gesture.
Hearing his laughter, Nicole uncovered the blanket and glared at Jared, embarrassed. "You should go to sleep too."
"Alright, let's sleep," Jared agreed with a smile.
He wanted to lift Nicole's blanket to join her, but Nicole clutched on the blanket tightly, not allowing Jared to join her.
Thus, Jared embraced Nicole through the blanket.
"Let me go!" Nicole protested, feeling exasperated. Jared was doing this on purpose.
"Why don't we sleep together? I could sleep with you in my arms." Jared did not compromise. He had no intention
of being under the blanket alone anymore. He would be satisfied just by embracing Nicole.
After struggling in vain, Nicole accepted that she could not move, so she gritted her teeth and warned, "Alright
then, but you're not allowed to move."
Nicole had no other choice. If they kept debating like this, neither of them would not be able to sleep tonight.
Jared instantly pulled up the blanket and extended his arms to hug Nicole. He almost lost his cool when a lovely
scent drifted to his nose.
"Hey!" Nicole protested, wanting to break free. However, Jared stopped moving after holding her. Only then was
Nicole at ease.

Time passed slowly, and the both of them soon fell asleep after a tiring day.
As the sun began to rise, a new day arrived. After the welcoming banquet, all of San Joto knew of Nicole's return.
Nicole, on the other hand, naturally became the Chairperson of the Riddle Corporation's headquarters. All the
shares under Mr. Riddle Sr.'s name were transferred to her.
In the boardroom of Riddle Corporation, Nicole sat at the head of the table. Sean and Steve sat on her left and right
side, while the other directors were seated in turn.
With Nicole's return and her role as the Chairperson, Daniel as the acting chairman was now able to rest at home,
enjoying his time with Gloria.
Nicole had not regained her memories after taking over the company and had no idea about business
management. However, she did not feel unfamiliar, thanks to the previous information she read. Hence, she did not
show any signs of guilt while sitting at the head of the table.
