Chapter: 1156

"So, will you be returning to Odonset in three days?"

“Not sure."

Nikolas decided it was time to tease this man who was so reluctant to reveal his feelings.

"You know, Jayson is soon to be part of my family. He's planning to invite Bethany to dinner tonight and wants my help to convince her. In return, he's offered to speak well of me to Aimee's parents. Should I agree? It's quite a tempting proposal! I'm genuinely torn!"

Jonathan didn't respond in a while.

The elevator had already reached the project floor before Jonathan's reply finally came through.

"There's nothing to be torn about," Jonathan finally responded.

Nikolas couldn't help but burst into laughter after reading Jonathan's message.

He had long suspected that Jonathan liked to keep up appearances.

Jonathan seemed to manage well, but whenever Bethany was involved, his composure would unravel.

Nikolas was utterly convinced that Jonathan would make his way back to Odonset within three days.

From a distance, Aimee noticed Nikolas outside Bethany's office and waved enthusiastically.

Nikolas acknowledged her with a nod before making his entrance into the project department. Colt immediately spotted him.

"Mr. Bennett! What brings you here?"

In Bates Group, the bond between Nikolas and Jonathan was well known, so Nikolas was treated with considerable respect.

Nikolas often represented Jonathan at board meetings, effectively serving as the deputy CEO.

“I came for my girlfriend."

“What?” Colt looked stunned. "Is your girlfriend also in the department?"

With a frown of impatience, Nikolas replied, “Should you be asking that?"

"No. No."

Nikolas dismissed Colt's question and proceeded straight into Bethany's office.

Colt watched Nikolas' departure, mulling over his earlier words.

He had just entered Bethany's office. He came for his girlfriend?

"Nikolas, have you finished the meeting?" Aimee got up and walked into his arms as soon as he entered. Their intimacy was evident.
