Nicole then wondered, 'I guess only Stanley with his thick skull would think Tia has feelings for
someone. How could he not notice that Tia has no men around her?'
"What are you thinking about?" Jared's voice blared out from behind her.
Looking up, Nicole asked, "Are the kids asleep?"
"Yeah," Jared replied, and sat down next to Nicole.
He held her hand, and went on to ask, "You look like you've got something on your mind. What's going
on?"
"Ugh." Nicole sighed, and she proceeded to tell Jared about Stanley and Cherry's situation.
After hearing her out, he calmly replied, "They didn't look like a couple at all."
"How did you notice?" Nicole frowned, puzzled that the situation had gone unnoticed by her.
"They look like friends, or even siblings. Compare them to Samuel and Spencer. You'll see what I'm
talking about," Jared explained, shrugging his shoulders.
And indeed, he knew full well how couples interacted in contrast with how siblings and friends did.
After thinking about it for a moment, she agreed. "Hey, if you put it that way, they do seem rather
different."
"Forget about them. It's none of your business," Jared pulled Nicole up. "Let's wash up and get ready
for bed."
"Yeah, you're right," Nicole replied, and headed to the bathroom.
As for Stanley's predicament, Nicole believed that he would think it over himself, especially after their Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
last conversation. Whatever decision Stanley made in the end would be entirely up to him.
The next day, Nicole started her morning, fresh and energetic.
When Nicole arrived at the Riddle Corporation, she was stopped by Lulu, who came over as if she was
hiding something precious from everyone around her. "There's good news."
"Well, what good news do you have for me?" Nicole smiled.
"It's about BayCorp. Stanley has handed the bidding documents in. All we need to do now is wait for
the results," Lulu informed.
She then waved another set of papers in her hand, and added, "Oh and this."
"What's that?" Nicole asked.
"Let's talk inside," Lulu said.
She then linked her arm around Nicole's and led her into the office.
"Okay. But why the mystery? Is it about the Ellison Group?"
Nicole chuckled.
As expected, Nicole's guess was correct, and Lulu pouted in defeat. "Don't be such a smartass, could
you?"
"Hah, your glee was a dead giveaway," Nicole explained.
She could think of no reason other than Harvey's downfall as Lulu's source of joy at the moment.
"You're right. I bagged the collaboration project," Lulu bragged.
She then handed the document to Nicole. "Do you know how big of a deal this is? They originally
wanted to partner with Ellison Group. Well, too bad, because I snatched the deal!"
"You got it fair and square. It's not snatching," Nicole corrected.
The two exchanged glances and burst out laughing.
"I'm in the process of claiming two other projects. After I get both of them, it will surely give Harvey a
shock. He will regret his arrogance. Man, he sure does like to throw his weight around," Lulu said
indignantly.
