    ’Do you agree with me, Mr. Johnston?’ Fiore abruptly stopped and asked.


    "Yeah, you''re right.’ Jared tapped his ss against hers with a clink.


    ’Castor, pour Miss Fisher some wine,” Jared ordered.


    Hearing this, Castor quickly poured some wine for Fiore.


    Fiore looked at Castor and began to lecture him, "It''s a pity, Castor. You weren''t born with good parents, so you


    weren''t properly educated. Their actions almost cost you the second half of your life too. Fortunately, though, you


    were born into a good family.


    ’Look at Mr. Johnston. We''re all around the same age, but he''s so much better than you. I think he is what you


    should strive to be. Whatever you do in the future, you should think of him as a frame of reference and make


    informed and meaningful decisions based on that."


    ’Yeah, you''re right, Miss Fisher." Castor could only listen and nod, as he was afraid of getting into a spat with her.


    In truth, he loathed Fiore. He hated her even when Henry was still around, and now that he needed to listen to


    her lectures with a smile, he became even more frustrated.


    "Castor, Miss Fisher is a smart woman. You should learn a thing or two from her," Jared praised.


    ’A toast to you, Mr. Johnston." Fiore raised her ss and toasted.


    The dinner was nearing its end, but when Fiore noticed that Castor did not look like he was smart enough to


    take the cue that he was supposed to be leaving soon, she pondered for a moment and said, "Have you looked at


    the details of the project?"


    Castor looked at her and said, '' Not yet."


    Fiore rolled her eyes at him and chided, "What? You should have been familiar with everything about the project


    before you even began. How can you work with me tomorrow if you haven''t looked at it?"


    "Well..." Castor did not know what to do, so he nced at Jared before turning his gaze back to Fiore.


    "''Weir what? Just go home and read it! Read as much as you can today, so you won''t be in a haze tomorrow.’


    In other words, Fiore was urging him to leave.


    Castor looked at Jared and got up to bid them farewell before leaving the room.


    After he had left, Jared and Fiore became the only ones left in the room.'' Finally, the third wheel is gone. I can let


    my guard down now. Otherwise, I''ll still have to act like a CEO.''


    She smiled at Jared and inched closer to him. "Mr. Johnston, you must''ve spent a lot on this meal today. I really


    enjoyed the food."


    "That''s good. It only means that my efforts didn''t go to waste," Jared answered absent-mindedly.


    "Thank you very much, Mr. Johnston." Nicole eyed Jared with a flirtatious gaze. ''I didn’t know that he would ce


    such effort into this meal.''


    "It''s nothing, really. As you''re done eating, let''s head home." Jared looked at the time and figured that it was about


    time to end the dinner.


    "What''s the rush, Mr. Johnston? Are you worried that Miss Riddle has waited for a long time at home?’ Fiore


    narrowed her eyes at him.


    Jared smiled. "You''re hrious, Miss Fisher. The only thing that''s waiting for me at home is that huge pile of


    documents."


    "Well, there''s no need to be in such a rush to go home, then," she said." Work is never-ending, so just keep me


    Fiore had tried really hard to get him here, so she would not let him go if she was not satisfied.


    "When we''re done with this drink, let''s hang out in my club. You made me really happy tonight, so I''ll return you the


    favor too.” Fiore stuck her ss against his and chugged its contents down.


    "Let''s go, Mr. Johnston," Fiore said and walked out.


    Jared stood up and walked out with her. When Max saw Jared, he immediately walked up to him. "Are you going


    back home, Mr. Johnston?"


    Before Jared could respond, Fiore rolled her eyes at Max. "What do you mean ''go home''? Take US to my club."N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.
