Seeing that Nicole had agreed, Harvey was as happy as a clam.
"Where do you wish to go?" Harvey smiled at Nicole.
"I'm fine with anywhere, really," she replied.
To her, it was just a casual meal, and so, she did put much thought into the options she had.
"There's a new restaurant in town, so why don't we check that out, " Harvey said with his eyes on
Nicole.
"Sure."
"Are you not driving?" Nicole asked, as she noticed him entering the car with her.
"Yeah, just so that I can be more environmental friendly," Harvey said, knowing that Nicole would
definitely be driving.
Therefore, he had walked over on purpose just so that he could hitch a ride.
"Let me put this out there.You can't just march into my house like you did last time." Nicole said in a
stern tone.
"Don't worry, I won't do that anymore." Harvey rolled his eyes.
It was then that Nicole loosened up.
Then, she entered the car and drove off with the aid of Harvey's directions.
As they were getting nearer, the buildings around them were getting increasingly familiar.
"Is the place still a long way from here?" Nicole asked.
"Not really."
Harvey peeped out of the window and eyed the buildings.
"It should be somewhere in front.There's a parking lot in front, so let's just head over there."
After they had gotten off the car, Nicole turned to Harvey, "Aren't we near the headquarters of the
Johnston Group? Where is this restaurant you're talking about?"
"Chill, let me take a look."
Harvey looked around and his eyes lit up at once.
"I've found it! Follow me."
Harvey pulled Nicole by the arm and made a beeline for the restaurant.
Little did they know, they were being observed by Fiorella who had just exited her car as well.She
squinted to take a closer look, turned around, and walked into the headquarters of the Johnston Group.
Seeing that Fiorella was approaching, the assistant made a call to inform Henry at once.
Then, he walked up to her with a wide smile and welcomed her.
"Ms.Fisher, Mr.Henry Johnston is waiting for you inside."
He opened the door for her, after which she glanced at the assistant with a grin on her face.
"Fiorella, your visits tend to be unannounced, and so, I couldn't make my way downstairs to give you a
personal welcome," Henry said.
"Henry, these formalities are unnecessary.I came here today to ask you about the proposal we've
discussed.Have you made up your mind about this?"
Fiorella sat in front of Henry, awaiting his reply.
"Get Miss Fisher a cup of coffee, and be sure to brew it well."
Henry glanced at his assistant.
"Noted," the assistant said and marched out of the room at once.
"Fiorella, I've given the proposal some thought, and I must say that the project is good, but there are
some risks involved.I'll hold a meeting with the board of directors.When the decision has been finalized,
I'll let you know right away," Henry said and looked at Fiorella with a grin.
"Henry, you're not trying to stall to buy yourself some time, are you? A number of people have been
asking me about this project.If it wasn't for the relationship we have, I would've agreed to their offers
already.The more you drag, the more I lose.It has been a few days already, and yet you have not had a
single meeting over this matter? What a joke!"
Fiorella stood up and stormed off.
Henry quickly stopped her and apologized.
''Fiorella, you've misunderstood.It's not like how you've put it.Let's all calm down, have a seat, and
discuss about this."
"There's no need for that.The project can't wait for anyone, so why should I wait?"
Fiorella continued taking a few steps.
"Fiorella Fisher, let's sign the papers immediately!"
Seeing that Fiorella was furious, Henry did not dare to drag anymore.
"In fact, we'll sign it now!"
"Oh, so you're taking the offer now?"
Fiorella looked at Henry with a grimace.
"Well, I'm not extending it to you anymore."
"Fiorella, come on," he said.
"Quit messing around.Let's sit down and talk about the details."
"There's no need for that.If you can agree to this one condition, I'll collaborate with you."
Fiorella glared at him.
"Otherwise, you can kiss this project goodbye."
