Chapter 1225 "We've been keeping well. Was it tough working abroad? You don't look so good."
Gloria was really observant, as she noticed that Nicole did not look like she had been sleeping well.
"Haven't you been sleeping well?" Daniel heard Gloria and had also noticed that Nicole did not look like
she was in good shape.
"Ah... I do get enough sleep over there, but I came back in a rush yesterday. I'm probably just
experiencing jet lag, so I'm fine." Nicole explained while feeling guilty.
'It's all Jared's fault,' she thought. 'I won't be this tired if it wasn't because of him.'
"Did you rush back here because Martin's factory had caught fire?” Daniel guessed.
Judging by how hasty her return was, Daniel figured that it had something to do with Martin.
"Yeah, I was informed that his factory was on fire, so I took the earliest flight home." Nicole said
without anything.

’It was a pretty big fire. Martin suffered quite the loss, didn't he?" Daniel looked at Nicole with a frown.
"Yeah, half of the factory was destroyed, along with the equipment and the products." Nicole became upset when
she talked about this.
Gloria quickly changed the subject when she saw that Nicole was beginning to feel sad. "Nicole doesn't come home
very often, so let's not talk about things like these."
"How are things with Jared? It has been some time since we've seen him." Gloria smiled at Nicole.
"We're fine. He's been really busy with work these days, and due to the fact that his grandfather is still in the
hospital, he usually works until it gets very late," Nicole replied with a smile, though she began to feel sad for Jared
as she finally realized how tough it must have been for him.
"It's not easy for Jared either. I didn't expect that his family would have to deal with someone like that, you know."
Gloria sighed.
"Nicole, how's Jared's grandfather?" Daniel asked.
"Jared said that he's been experiencing a steady recovery, and I do plan to visit him in the afternoon." Nicole looked
at Daniel.
"Good. He's really old, so he has to be extra careful now. He should take good care of himself,” Daniel said.
"Yeah."
"Nicole, how's the project going?" Sean asked. "Can you tell US about it?"
Sean had been holding it in for a very long time. He wanted to talk to
Nicole about this the minute he saw her, but he did not get to do so after Steve had interrupted him. Now that he
finally had the chance, he had to ask her about it.
"Mr. Harmon had gathered a team of researchers and we've already started the project. It's doing okay. We're
currently researching the chip, and that's where I have some issues." Nicole told them some trivia to satiate Sean's
curiosity.

"I can't really summarize it, but it's kind of challenging. I'll find a way to resolve it though," Nicole said,
remaining positive about it and believing that they can succeed.
"By the way, how's the project with Aegis Corporation going, Sean?" Nicole asked.
"It has been running smoothly. We would've ended up with a miserable failure if Harvey had not
invested at that time. I heard that he went abroad with you. Did he return with you too?" Sean asked.
If Harvey was back, he would have treated Harvey to a lavish dinner as a token of appreciation.
"He didn't," Nicole replied. "He's still busy with work over there."
’I see. Send him my regards when you're back in Lanningbourg. Without his help, we would've been in
hot water." Sean looked at Nicole, stern and unsmiling.
"Alright. I'll do that for you, for sure." Nicole flashed him a smile.
"Are you done chatting? We can finally play together if you're done."
Samuel and Spencer had been listening to them the whole time and when the conversation seemed to
be coming to an end, he interrupted them.
