"Then let's have lunch together." Fiorella suggested.
Only then did Jared look at her, thinking of declining her offer.But since Fiorella had already said it, it
was rude for him to refuse now.
"Okay."
"Then you may take a rest here while I make the arrangements."
Fiorella smiled and looked at Jared, then walked out.
Jared could not sit still in the lounge and made a beeline to the golf course.
The moment Nicole swung her club, a round of applause came from behind.
Feeling odd, Nicole looked back behind her.
"You're done with your work?"
"Yeah."
"Nice shot."
Jared complimented her.
"Want to join me for a match?"
Nicole invited him.
"Why not? But I will have to tee it up here." Jared asked Nicole's opinion.
"No problem."
Nicole really was not having much fun playing by herself.
Now that she had Jared to keep her company, it did not matter where he teed off.
Jared took a look at Nicole's ball position, picked up his club, and swung his arm.
A white ball flew off into the distance, landing just short of Nicole's ball and slightly in front of it.
"Not half bad at all."
Nicole watched Jared's neat actions and admired him.
"How about we have a reward and punishment?"
Nicole suggested.
It seemed a little less fun without some kind of reward or punishment.
"Yeah, go ahead."
Jared wanted to hear what great ideas she had.
Nicole thought for a moment.
"The winner will make the loser do one thing, and the loser can't refuse."
"That's a great idea, I think. It looks like you have got to be ready for it."
Jared looked at her wickedly.
"I'm not going to get verbal with you.See you on the course."
Nicole took her gold club and walked toward her ball.
Jared watched on with interest and followed her.
The two competed joyfully on the golf course.
Near noon, their game finally ended.
Nicole put down her club and looked at Jared.
"When I figure out what to do, I will let you know.You can't refuse."
"Of course.Since we have agreed, I'm going to keep my promise."
Jared looked at Nicole with a serious face.
"Mr.Johnston, lunch is ready.And this is?"
Fiorella looked at Nicole beside Jared.
"This is my Nicole Riddle, my fiancée.And this is Miss Fisher," Jared said, giving a brief introduction to
the two.
"Abh, it's Mr.Johnston's fiancée.Nice to meet you." Fiorella greeted Nicole warmly.
"If you don't mind, Miss Riddle, why don’t you join us for lunch? What do you think, Mr.Johnston?"
Fiorella finished with Nicole and looked at Jared again.Jared did not answer immediately but looked to
Nicole for her opinion.
"Why not?"
Nicole did not feel any wrong.
Fiorella was kind enough to invite her the first time they met.So, she thought it was rude to refuse.
Besides, the invitation came from a woman.
"Then let's go in."
Jared saw Nicole did not object and looked at Fiorella.
"This way, both of you."
Fiorella made a gesture and then led the way.The three of them came into the vast room, with Jared
sitting in the middle, and Nicole and Fiorella sitting on either side.
"Mr.Johnston, my toast to you."
Fiorella raised her wine glass and waited to clink glasses with Jared.
Without speaking, Jared picked up his glass and clinked it with her.
"You like this, don't you?" Jared fetched Nicole a piece of the dish.
