My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1318

"Just that there was something about Curley Corporation. Will you be coming over?" Carl said, wanting to see Nicole, just to fail in his attempt once more.

"I won't be going there in the foreseeable future. If you miss me, you can meet me back here," she said.

"Forget it. I have a mission to take care of, so I won't be leaving for a while. If you have me in mind, you should pay me a visit instead," Carl said, expressing his desire to meet Nicole in Lanningbourg.

"In that case, you should focus on your mission. When you're done, you can come and hang out with me." Nicole replied.

She did not wish to visit Lanningbourg at all. After all, she had just began her research, and thus, she could not leave.

"Can't you just pay me a visit instead?" Carl complained. "You're just counting on me to come to you after I'm done. How inconsiderate."

"For your information, I'm really busy now. I can't leave. If that was not the case, I'd have been there in a heartbeat. Let's just face it. It's just an unfortunate coincidence," Nicole explained.

"What are you busy with now?" Carl asked. 'Why is she always busy? Doesn't she need to catch a break? She's always busy with something whenever I call her.'

"I'm researching on how to develop a chip," Nicole told him.

"A chip? Did I hear you correctly?" Carl said, almost laughing out loud.

"You can't simply do that," he protested. "You don't know the ins and outs, so you shouldn't be tinkering around as you please. If you have nothing to do, just come to me. I can guarantee that you won't be bored."

'She's really digging her finger into every pie she can find,' he thought. 'Developing a chip?! Come on, give me a break.'

"Even if I get bored to death, I won't hang out with you. Besides, I'm not messing around. I have practical experience, and I have professionals at my disposal. I believe I can create the chip soon, and it's going to be an chip of international renown," Nicole said confidently.

"Sure."

"Gentlemen, I wanted to treat you all to lunch, but I just received a call and I now have something to take care of. I won't be able to have a meal with you today, and I hope you can excuse me for that. However, I've already gotten Kelly to arrange lunch for all of you, so she will be tending to you on my behalf later on," Nicole said, displaying her appreciation for them with her words.

They smiled at her and said, "Miss Riddle, please go ahead. You don't need to engage us with such formality."

"Okay, then I'll be leaving now. Please enjoy your lunch."

Then, Nicole went downstairs.

Jared already had his car parked for some time. When he saw Nicole walking out, he quickly got out of the car to welcome her.
