Chapter 1116
"I'm not hungry yet..."
"It doesn't matter," she interrupted. "It's already afternoon, and we still have to eat. Lunch is
on me."
Fiorella held her head up high and looked at Jared. She was waiting for him to get up and
head out with her.
Seeing Fiorella's insistence, Jared knew that he could not decline. Knowing this, he casually
stood up and said, "Since you're here in my turf, I'll be buying us lunch instead."
"You're always so thoughtful. I'll gladly accept, then." Fiorella smiled and walked out
together with Jared.
Back in the restaurant, a portion of Harvey and Nicole's order had been served.
"Sir, please enjoy your food. The rest of the order will be served shortly," the waiter
explained in a soft tone.

"Let's give it a try, Nicole." Harvey's eyes lit up as he stared at the dishes. "The plating makes the dishes look really
inviting."
"Well, it's pretty good," Nicole complimented after she took a piece of yam and chewed it.
"Yeah. Even these chunks of beef stewed in the broth. Every bite is so rich in flavor." Harvey could not help but
express one flattering remark after another about the dishes on the table.
"Anyway, you still haven't answered my question. When are you flying abroad?" Harvey mentioned again.
He was eyeing her, eagerly awaiting her reply.
Nicole looked at him. "Are you that interested in coming along for the project of the manned flying car?"
"Actually, I'm not interested in joining," he said. "I'm just curious about it."
He could not be forthcoming with the fact that he wanted to come along because of her. Otherwise, he would have
lost his chance of going with her.
"Curious? There is a time and place for you to fill your curiosity, and this is not it. If that is your reason, I would
suggest not going at all. There's nothing there. Our days will be boring and uneventful, filled to the brim with
discussions, experiments, and repetitions the entire process until we achieve a desirable result." Nicole explained to
Harvey truthfully.
After all, there was nothing attractive there for her as well, and if it were not for Jared, she would not have agreed
to join the project.
Nicole was furious at the thought of Jared. She scooped a piece of the food in front of her and took a big bite.
"Don't you think it's cool for a group of people to work on a problem together? Everyone has different ideas and
when it all comes together, interesting things tend to occur. To me, it's a place filled with challenges and innovation.
Even if I have no knowledge about these things, being able to witness these experiments will be a joy," Harvey said,
trying really hard to make his explanation sound reasonable.
"I've never seen you being this persistent over something." She
looked at him with a deadpan expression on her face. "Because you're so eager to come along, I'll let you know
once everything is confirmed. But I have one request."
"What would that be?" Harvey stared back, his seriousness matching hers.
"When we're there, you may only follow me around. You can't wander around or touch
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmanything on your own. Wherever I go, you go. Whenever I leave, you leave too. You can't
stay there with the development team on your own and get in the way of their work." Nicole
laid her demands out, unsmiling.
"Not a problem!" he said.
To Harvey, these demands are nothing but boons for him. After all, she was the only reason
as to why he wished to come along. If he could stay by her side all the time, he would be
screaming with joy.
"Okay, but let me make this clear," she said. "If, and when you do go against our agreement,
I'll send you back at once, and you won't be allowed to follow me around anymore."
"I've always kept my word. I'll fulfill whatever I've promised you, so don't you worry." Harvey
maintained a deadpan expression on his face as he assured Nicole.
"Anyway, try this out." Harvey scooped a dish and served it to Nicole.
Coincidentally, Jared was walking toward their general direction when he saw the gesture
taking place, and it was then that Fiorella saw that Jared had stopped walking. 4
She walked up to his side and asked, "Are we sitting here?"
