Chapter 2905

"Understood," his lackey replied.

"One more thing. Contact Scorpio and tell him to do as he had promised."

If Damien truly possessed crucial information pertaining to the Water Crest, it must not fall into the hands of anyone else. Everett was the only person who could have it.

Back at San Joto, the sun was in the midst of setting, bringing with it the golden hour.

After Nicole was done with her tasks for the day, she stepped out of Riddle Corporation, ready to go home for dinner.

Seeing that Jared's car was already parked by the roadside, she smiled. Then, she made a beeline for the car and got into it.

"Let's go," Jared said after she had sat down.

Once the engine had roared to life, Nicole turned to look at Jared and asked, "Where are we going?"

While Nicole was busy working a few hours ago, Jared had already messaged her. In that text, he told her that he had informed the Riddles that the both of them would not be going home for dinner. This piqued her curiosity, making her wonder if Jared was planning to bring her somewhere special.

Remaining ambiguous, Jared simply looked at her and smiled. "Dinner."

"Just dinner?" Nicole asked in shock. 'Is it really just a simple dinner? Nothing else?'

"Yes." Jared gave her hands a light squeeze. "Just dinner."

"In that case, we can just eat at home. Why must we come out?" she asked.

"I just feel like I want to have something different for a change," he calmly replied.

Hearing this, Nicole laughed. "Why does it seem like you're hiding something?"

Although Jared had revealed nothing to her, Nicole had an inkling that Jared was keeping a surprise of some sort from her.

Jared flashed her a mischievous smile without answering her question. Instead, he firmed his grip on her hand, his eyes glinting with affection.

Nicole went on to steal glances at him from her periphery. The more she looked at him, the more certain she was that Jared was keeping something from her. Just like that, the notion that he was bringing her out for a simple dinner did not seem so believable anymore.

As the car came to a halt, Nicole looked out of the window, and that was when she noticed that they were not at just about any restaurant; they were at her favorite cafe opposite Royal Creek Institute. It was the very same cafe which Jared had kept and maintained up until this day.

"Why are we here?" Nicole asked, her brows raised in confusion.

She refused to believe that Jared had brought her all the way here just because he was craving for some good coffee.

"Let's head inside." Jared wrapped his hand around Nicole's, whereupon the couple got out of the car together.

It was only after they had entered the shop that Nicole noticed something was different about the place. It was closed for that day, so the interior was empty, save for the servers who still worked there. 'So that is why the place looks so odd from the outside,' she thought.

After feasting her eyes on the empty yet cozy interior of the cafe, Nicole turned to look at Jared and said, "So, can you cut to the chase and tell me what is going on now?"

Jared had made it a point to be secretive about whatever it was he was up to, and he had even stated that they were going out for dinner. This had prompted Nicole to wonder what he was going to do next. After all, the cafe was not open for business today, and they were the only people there. The entire was obviously decorated for a specific reason.

Without giving her a direct answer once again, Jared lifted his hand and caressed her on the forehead. "Sit here and give me a moment."

After Jared had spoken, he removed his jacket, rolled his sleeves up, and made his way to the bar.

Then, he personally brewed Nicole a cup of coffee and served it to her. "I'm cooking dinner tonight."

Needless to say, Nicole was pleasantly surprised. "You're making dinner on your own?"

"Whenever you came here in the past, I was always here to serve you." Jared flashed her a smile and entered the kitchen.

Nicole trailed her fingers around the rim of the coffee cup, recalling the memories of her time at the coffeehouse back when she was still at school. Indeed, Jared was always here to make her fish and chips with a side of her favorite coffee. While she was reminiscing, a beaming smile crossed her face.

A sudden thought then occurred to Nicole, and that was when she realized that today was a special day.

"That's it!" Nicole's grin grew even wider as a surge of warmth emanated from within.

Today was the anniversary of their first time meeting each other, and Jared had actually remembered it. If Jared had neglected to plan for this very special day, Nicole would not even have remembered it. After a while, the lights in the coffeehouse dimmed, leaving nothing but the flickering flames of the candle to illuminate the hall.
