Chapter 1283


    Chapter 1283 "Remember what I said on the rooftop at the base?" Harvey looked Nicole in the eye, and the two locked eyes, sharing a


    relieved smile.


    Jared was watching them when he suddenly interrupted their fond memories. "Shouldn''t you share such a delicious cake with everyone?"


    Having bested Jared by a slight margin, Harvey nced at him with a smug look on his face. "What is the hurry? We will share the cake right


    away."


    "Nicole, you make the first cut." Harvey handed Nicole a table knife.


    "Me?"


    "Yeah."


    Nicole took the knife and thought about it for a moment, after which she turned to Kelly and beckoned her over. "Come over, Kelly."


    Then, she he looked at Kelly and Harvey. "Since we are celebrating the return of all three of US, it is only right that we cut the cake together.


    Come on, let''s do it together."


    "Okay.” Harvey looked at her and grabbed her hand while Jared watched on.


    The three of them proceeded to cut the cake together, after which Harvey took the knife from Nicole, took the first slice of cake, and handed


    it to Nicole. "Here you go."


    Nicole dly epted, while Jared watched without uttering a word, though he was quite upset.


    Then, Harvey cut the second slice of cake and handed it to Kelly. "Other than Nicole, you are the only woman here."


    "Thank you, Harvey," Kelly said, smiling happily as she imed the slice of cake which Harvey had cut for her.


    After that, he cut another slice for Martin and handed it to him.


    ''Thanks Harvey," Martin said.


    Finally, he cut a slice for himself and ced the knife down without giving any for Jared. Nicole looked around and was about to pick the


    knife up to cut a slice for Jared when he refused.


    "I haven''t been enjoying sugary food itemstely, so you guys can go ahead. IV


    Then he grabbed his cutlery and enjoyed his meal alone.


    Harvey''s mouth curved up in a smirk. He proceeded to enjoy the cake while chatting with Nicole,pletely ignoring Jared.


    Jared was listening in on Nicole and Harvey''s conversation, ready to chime in whenever he had the chance. However, they were talking


    about everything that had happened abroad, making it difficult for him to interrupt. In fact, Harvey was doing this on purpose. He knew that


    Jared certainly would not have the opportunity to chime in if he talked about things at the base abroad.


    Nicole suddenly issued a sigh midway through the conversation, and that was when Jared knew that his chance hade. "What''s wrong?


    Why are you sighing all of a sudden?"


    Harvey knew that he had screwed up. He was too engrossed in the conversation and had totally forgotten about Jared''s presence, allowing

    him to exploit the situation.


    As expected, Nicole turned to Jared with a look of sadness in her eyes.


    "The reason we came back this time round is that, when we were manufacturing chips abroad, my proposed solution didn''t work. I was so


    frustrated that I decided to return home." Nicole confided her frustrations in him as soon as she looked at him.


    Jared finally understood why Nicole had been wearing the frown from the time he saw her until now.


    As it turned out, something had been bothering her. "I didn''t know that. Can you show me your proposalter?"


    Nicole nced at Jared in surprise, then she remembered what he had told her before.


    She smiled. "Okay."
