My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 1367

Jared and Nicole then took a stroll to the restaurant near the massage parlor together and ordered their meals.

"Nicole, there's a reception tomorrow night. Will you be available?" Jared looked at Nicole and asked.

"Tomorrow night?" Nicole thought for a while.

"It seems that you don't have the time," he said. "A friend of mine has extended me an invitation."

"You need a dance partner?" Nicole looked at Jared and asked.

"Well, since you don't have time, forget it." Jared said, just wanting to make sure that it would be best if the two women did not meet.

"How about trying this signature dish?" Jared asked as he cut a slice of steak and handed it to Nicole.

"It doesn't taste bad at all," Nicole commented after taking a bite.

Nicole went to the R&D lab the next day as usual, while Jared drove off to his office after seeing her off. Concerned about the operation to re-capture Henry, he gave Max a call.

"How's everything going?"

"Our men have found Henry, but among the people who had escorted him back here before, there was only one survivor," Max reported with a heavy heart.

"Offer the family our condolences and a sum as compensation. After that, bring Henry back as soon as possible!" Jared bellowed.

"Yes, sir."

Jared hung up as Claus walked in. "Mr. Johnston, the operations in the Beacon factory is now back on track. There is nothing unusual happening as of now."

"You're back just in time," Jared said. "There's something I need you to investigate on."

"Yes, sir." Claus grabbed the materials and left in a respectful manner.

On the other end, Joyce McCarthy was at the gym with the restaurant owner.

"You didn't happen to see anyone following you here, did you?" Joyce asked vigilantly.

"You're dismissed," Joyce finished.

"Yes, ma'am," he repeated.

The restaurant owner left in terror at once, while Joyce began her exercise alone in the gym room. Her figure was chiseled and well-defined.

As dusk descended, business magnates and socialites began exiting their cars at the entrance of the Cosmo Pavilion, before striding into the lobby. Attending the event were many women who had secret crushes Jared, and as they knew that he would make an appearance tonight, they had worn some exquisite makeup to make an impression.

In the banquet however, Fiorella's gorgeous dress dominated the scene, capturing the attention of the audience.

Aware of this fact, she thought, 'No one will steal my limelight tonight.'

She was glancing around, noticing that Jared had yet to arrive. Suddenly, a figure approached her.

"Well, aren't you dressed to the nines, Miss Fisher?" Mr. Russell commented as he ogled Fiorella's body.

"What do you mean by that, Mr. Russell? Am I not sexy and pretty enough in my usual garments?" Fiorella asked him with a blank stare.
