Chapter 1279

'Perhaps there really is. I will let you know once I've thought about it." Martin joked.

"By the way, how has the reconstruction been going?" Nicole asked, as the rebuilding of the factory was what she was

most concerned about now.

"It has been rebuilt. With Mr. Johnston's full support, the rebuilding went very smoothly. We are now installing the

equipment.’ Martin looked at Nicole.

’Oh.” The mere mention of Jared gave Nicole a pang of disappointment, as Jared was not among them today.

'Now that everyone is here, shall we get started?' Nicole looked at Martin.

Martin looked at his phone and said, "Wait a minute. There is another person who should be here soon."

Nicole frowned. 'Someone else is coming? Martin didn't tell me about it on the phone.'

"Who else is coming, Martin?" she asked.

"You will see." Martin smiled at her, deliberately creating a sense of suspense.

Harvey frowned upon hearing what Martin had said. He speculated in his mind, 'Could the person Martin was talking

about be Jared?'

"How are things going for you over at Lanningbourg? Did you return home early because everything went just as

you had planned?" Martin started the conversation again and looked at Nicole with a smile.

"Ah well, let's not talk about it. There were just too many constrains, and we had achieved next to nothing." Nicole

replied, frustrated at the mention of anything that had occurred abroad.

'It is okay. You are just starting out. If you can't find support abroad, you can always do it at home. Mr. Johnston and

I are here for you, and we'll always have your back." Martin looked at Nicole, his eyes brimming with assurance as

he would help her out in a heartbeat.

"Aw, this is the second time I've heard something so touching since I came back.” Nicole said, feeling blessed.

Martin looked at Nicole, confused. "What do you mean when you said, second time? Who did you hear it from, for

the first time?'

"The first time was from Harvey." Nicole gave Harvey a look of amusement.

It was then that someone pushed the door in. With an intimidating presence, Jared appeared before their very

eyes.

Nicole gasped at the sight of Jared. 'I should have guessed it. How could he not be at my reception? Besides, the

seat next to me was empty from the moment I sat down, which I should have guessed why.'

Coincidentally, Harvey was seated facing the door, and when Jared came in, their eyes met for a moment.

Harvey thought, 'It really is him!'

"Mr. Johnston, please come in." Martin immediately ushered him to the seat next to Nicole.

Harvey stared at Jared and only looked away after Jared had sat down.

"Hi, Mr. Johnston," Kelly greeted him with respect.

Jared nodded gently in acknowledgment as he sat down next to Nicole without a hint of awkwardness in him. Nicole

regretted not telling Martin about this earlier, but now it was too late. There no longer was a point in saying anything at

all, as Jared had already taken a seat next to her.

"What did Harvey say during the first time?" Jared asked Nicole as he sat down, as he had overheard what they had said

at the door.

"What brings you here?" Nicole shot him a rhetorical question with a grimace on her face.

Jared was not bothered when Nicole did not offer a reply forthcoming to his question.

Instead, he answered her question right away. 'Of course I'm coming to this reception for you."

Nicole looked at Martin, thinking of asking him why he had not informed her that Jared was coming. But knowing that

Martin was not aware of everything that had happened between her and Jared, she surmised that he was just being kind

to host her, and hence, she held her tongue.

On the other hand, Harvey had understood everything. He was keenly aware that something unpleasant that he knew

nothing about had happened between Nicole and Jared, and that this would be his chance to swoop in.
