"Is the porchetta ready?"
Nicole could not wait but went into the kitchen as she had smelled it.
"Yes, it is ready."
Tia served the porchetta in style and brought it to the table.
"It looks very appetizing."
"Come on, try it."
Tia looked at Nicole.
Nicole took a bite of the porchetta and flavors exploded in her mouth.
"It is so good!"
"There would be no surprises if I brought it out earlier."
"I can eat this all day.This porchetta is just too good."
Nicole munched at it.
After the meal, Nicole and Tia were relaxing on the sofa.
"Tia, why don’t we watch a movie?"
"Yeah, I will find one."
Just then, Nicole's phone rang.She picked it up and answered it.
"Hello."
"It has been a long time, Nicole.My R&D team has been set up.When are you coming over to take a
look?"
Scott's voice came through the phone.
"Scott, I admire the speed of your execution.I can't believe you have already put together the R&D
team so quickly."
Nicole marveled at Scott's speed at doing things.
"Since the decision has been made, there is no reason to delay.The sooner this project can go live, the
closer we are to our dream.You still haven't answered me, Nicole.When are you coming over to take a
look?"
"Scott, I really want to go over right away, but there are some things I need to do on my end, and I can't
get away for a while." Nicole explained.
"What could tie you up so much that you can't get away from? Do you need my help?"
Scott still cared a lot about Nicole, and he was willing to help out with her matters.
"Thanks Scott.I can handle it myself.I will fly over to your side as soon as I'm done here."
Nicole did not need Scott's help, but she was grateful for his kindness.
"Okay, then you get busy.I will get the R&D people started on my end.Call me when you can come
over."
Scott was slightly disappointed that Nicole could not come to the opening ceremony of the R&D team.
"Okay."
Nicole hung up the phone.
"You are so busy, Nicole.I think you need an assistant,"
Tia said with a serious look on her face.
"An assistant? Thanks for reminding me.The director told me yesterday that I had shooting this
afternoon.What time is it now?"
Nicole suddenly remembered the shooting.
"Two o'clock."
"Argh, I'm late."
Nicole immediately got up and walked outside.
"Drive slowly, Nicole," Tia called out.
But Nicole did not even hear her.She got into her car and sped to the studio.
"Sorry, I'm late."
Despite who Nicole was, she still politely apologized to the director, who looked at her and smiled
awkwardly as if not knowing what to say.
"What is wrong?"
Nicole was confused by his strange expression.
"Where is Kelly?"
Nicole looked around and saw no sign of Kelly.
"She is in the dressing room," the director then said.
