'Mr. Royce?" Ian called out, noticing Lawrence lost in thought.
Snapping back to reality, Lawrence said, "Scorpio will give me instructions."
Ian, concerned, asked, "So, Scorpio will force your hand?"
Lawrence scoffed, "Even with new people, Scorpio's weakened after his last failure. He's testing my
commitment.
Ian, deep in thought, inquired, "What's your plan?"
'Til follow his lead, for now," Lawrence replied, knowing appearances mattered.
’But if he targets..." Ian began.
Lawrence cut him off, "I'll comply only if Nolan and Lana aren't involved."
He'd protect Nicole if it came to that, seeking both the Crests and her safety.
Ian, understanding Lawrence's position, assured him, "I'll inform you immediately if Scorpio contacts
me."
Lawrence just hummed in response, picking up a document from his desk. Ian left to handle
Lawrence's assigned tasks.
That afternoon, under the bright sun, Nicole and Lulu strolled back to Riddle Corporation after their
lunch. The restaurant was conveniently close, allowing them to walk and chat.
"Think the method you talked about will work?" Lulu asked, her voice tinged with both hope and worry.Nicole shook her head thoughtfully, "It's worth a shot."
As they talked, Nicole called Martin.
Martin picked up. "What's up?"
Nicole started to share her latest idea for a solution.
Martin hesitated before responding, "I've noted it down and will try it later."
"It's just an idea I thought of after checking some information. It might not be feasible, so don't feel too
pressured," Nicole reminded Martin.
"Okay," Martin replied.
"Alright, let's leave it at that for now," Nicole said, hanging up the phone and taking a deep breath. "I
really hope it works."
Lulu smiled and said, "I wish your mentor could come out of seclusion soon. It would ease your
burden."
Nicole had been using all her free time to ponder Patricia's treatment plan. If her mentor came out of
seclusion, he might be able to help, and Nicole wouldn't have to work so hard.
"I hope so too, but..." Nicole sighed.
She couldn't be sure when her mentor would come out of seclusion. At this time, no one could contact
him.
Lulu, linking arms with Nicole, said, "I'm just worried about you. Don't put too much pressure on
yourself.""I'm okay," Nicole smiled. "I can handle these things."
Lulu shrugged. Nicole made it sound easy, but the challenges she faced weren't something everyone
could handle with such composure and bravery.
Back at the company, Nicole and Lulu returned to their offices and got busy.
Nicole opened a document and frowned upon seeing its contents.
'This is a BayCorp document. Why was it sent to me?'
Pressing the intercom button, Nicole said, "Come in."
Her secretary quickly entered, "Ms. Riddle."
"What's this about?" Nicole asked, referring to the document.
"It's an urgent document from BayCorp. They said it's important and requires your personal attention,"
the secretary replied.
