My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1205

"You're here just in time, Ike. Help me see if I've missed anything." Nicole looked at Ike and thought, 'Finally, someone can help me.'

Ike looked around as his eyes ranged over the equipment in the office. "Everything's here already. This place is almost as good as my lab now."

"Yeah, okay. Still, this place is not remotely comparable to yours. How's the preparation going on your end?" Nicole stopped what she was doing and looked at Ike.

"A few members of my team have not arrived yet, so I suppose your team is more disciplined than mine." Ike looked at Nicole in admiration.

"We're just fine." Nicole smiled humbly.

"Well, I'm not going to stick around for a chat. I've got to go back and start preparing too," Ike said, after which he left Nicole's workplace.

Nicole watched Ike as he left and smiled.

"Is everyone here?" Nicole asked, eyeing the people in her office.

All of them looked around and it was then that one of them said, "One of us isn't here yet."

"Call that person and ask them where they're at."

"Okay."

"Kelly, Harvey isn't here too, right?" Nicole looked at Kelly, who was beside her.

"He told me he was on his way when I texted him earlier," Kelly said.

"Alright.

"Before we begin, let's have a discussion. You can state your opinions. Tell me what you think about this chip." Nicole looked at them.

While they were discussing, Harvey arrived and walked in after pushing the door open, and for a moment, he locked eyes with Nicole before taking a seat.

Back in the office, Jared was working when someone walked in after opening the door.

"Mr. Johnston, I'm glad you're finally back, as the project might be delayed if you aren't." Fiorella fussed as she entered Jared's office.

"It seems that the news got to you rather quickly, Miss Fisher. I just got back yesterday and you're already here today," Jared joked as he looked into Fiorella's eyes.

"Oh, that's very charming of you to say, Mr. Johnston. You were the one who brought me here." Fiorella looked at Jared affectionately.

Jared was rendered speechless and changed the subject at once. "Did you come here to talk about the project?"

"Yeah, I can't believe I actually forgot about the elephant in the room after looking at you," she said. "Mr. Johnston, though Henry has fled to another country, I signed this contract with the Johnston Group, and that is why it's still in effect. Thankfully, it's stated in the contract that you and Castor are the people in charge of this project. This why I'm now talking to you about it."

Fiorella smiled. To her, Henry's absence was a boon, as Jared would not have an excuse to avoid her anymore.
