    Aftering to an agreement on the project, Nicole and Jared bid goodbye to everyone and left the Biz


    Club.


    Nicole was rendered speechless. "I could never wrap my head around it. How could such an important


    business negotiation happen at such a serene ce like this?"


    "You''ll gradually get used to this. In fact, some projects arepleted this way," exined Jared,

    smirking.


    Nicole nodded. "I see... This way, I guess one can hold a meeting with a clear mind without external


    factors bothering them. The sess or failure of the meeting will all depend on the individuals involved,


    with no intervention of third parties."


    Jared interlocked their fingers together. "The most important thing here is that it saves a lot of trouble."


    Nicole shrugged. "You''re right."


    ''Afterall, the scale of this project was quite extreme. If it were to undergo a bidding or investment


    method, it might not even be resolved within a few months. Companies afterpanies woulde


    flocking in ande at each other''s throats. The workload to process all this would immensely


    skyrocket, and most work done would be meaningless if it were to fail,'' she thought.


    Nicole took a nce at Jared, one eyebrow raised. "This is the exclusive social circle, isn''t it?"


    Jared looked down at Nicole with soft eyes. "If you put it that way, then yes."


    "Well would you look at that? It''s almost lunch time. Let''s go grab some food first," said Nicole,


    humming after she scored the project.


    Jared looked at her affectionately. "Sure, let''s go."


    Jared took Nicole to her favorite restaurant for lunch where they took a seat by the window while


    admiring the people walking up and down the street.


    ncing out the window, Nicole rested her chin on one hand and sighed. "Life goes by in a blink of an


    eye, without realizing that we''re all passersby by default. Not many can stay by your side for a long


    time."


    "Why are you being so deep all of the sudden?" asked Jared with an affectionate look on his face.


    "I just feel that ever since I came back here, I feel like I''m very lucky to have survived and escaped all


    that," said Nicole.


    ''If it weren''t for Nn who sneakily came back here to participate in apetition, I would''ve never


    stepped foot here. I''d never have known I have missed an entire lifetime before me,'' she thought.


    Nicole looked Jared in the eye. She took Jared''s hand into hers and held it tightly. "I feel grateful that


    fate or any divinity out there gave me the chance toe back here to be reunited with you again."


    Jared caressed the back of Nicole''s hand gently. ''Til make sure we won''t lose one another again."


    "Jared Johnston. Thank you," Nicole said earnestly.


    "Close your eyes," said Jared.


    Nicole was confused. "What? Why?"


    Jared chuckled. "You''ll find out real soon."


    "Wow, Mr. Mysterious," muttered Nicole as she obediently closed her eyes. She suddenly felt


    something cold ced into the palm of her hand.


    Nicole subconsciously opened her eyes and saw a small jewelry box in her palm.


    "What''s this?"


    "Open it and take a look," said Jared, eyes warm.


    Nicole opened the box and saw a ne inside it. It was the exact same ne she had seen in


    the magazine before. Nicole had just casually mentioned how beautiful it was before turning the page


    to look at other things. She had not thought that Jared had taken note of it and bought it based on her


    casual remark.


    Nicole''s heart fluttered. Her eyes were filled with happiness. "Thank you."


    "Come, I''ll help you put it on," Jared offered. He took it out from the box and helped Nicole put it on.


    Nicole touched the ne after Jared had put it on for her. Her heart skipped a beat, the butterflies in


    her tummy doing somersaults. It was the happiest Nicole had ever been.
