Nicole, expecting some sort of news from him, was surprised when Jared maintained his silence. Did you really just come over to have a meal with me?”

She thought something significant had happened, but upon noticing that he had not said a word along the way, she concluded that she had simply misunderstood.

The smile from Jared proved exactly that. “Just a meal, yeah.”

“Oh, I thought something occurred, and you came over to tell me about it.”

Nicole took a sip of water.

Teasing her, Jared said, “You seem quite disappointed.”

Annoyed, she rolled her eyes and placed her glass down. “Of course I’m not.”

As Jared’s sudden appearances usually indicated that there was something he needed her to know, it was natural for her to assume that he had brought some kind of word with him. Still, she was happy that he had simply brought her out for a regular meal.

With a gentle smile on his face, he explained, “I just signed a project, and I thought I’d come to see you after I’m done with it.”

In addition, it was already lunchtime by the time he had concluded the meeting, so he thought it would be a good idea to take her out for a bite along the way.
