Chapter 3154Chapter 3154
As they reached the lobby of the company building, Nicole heard someone calling her and turned to
look.
"Lawrence, what are you doing here?" Nicole was somewhat surprised to see Lawrence approaching
her.
"Just passing by, thought I'd check on you. Heard you were out for lunch, so I waited," Lawrence
explained with a light smile.
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly, her mind considering various possibilities, all of which she dismissed.
With a composed expression, Nicole said, "Let's head up."
"No need for that. I just wanted to see you. Now that I have, I'll be on my way," Lawrence said with a
smile.
"Alright then." Nicole did not try to keep Lawrence.
She found herself increasingly unable to read Lawrence, and subconsciously, she didn't want to
interact with him more than necessary.
With a smile at Nicole, Lawrence indeed left.
"Nicole, he didn't leave a time bomb or something, did he?" Although Lulu sounded like she was joking,
she actually went over to check where Lawrence had been sitting.
Nicole couldn't help but laugh and pull her back. ' Let's head up." She felt that Lulu's imagination was
running wild; Lawrence would have to be crazy to do something like that."But wasn't it strange? He said he came to see you but then left without really saying anything. It feels
weird," Lulu expressed her unease.
"It was probably just a coincidence,' Nicole said, guiding Lulu into the elevator.
"I still think we should be cautious," Lulu persisted, her worry lingering.
Nicole sighed. "Being cautious is important, but he wouldn't harm me so blatantly." After all, such
actions wouldn't benefit Lawrence in any way.
As they spoke, the two arrived at the top floor and stepped out of the elevator.
Lulu lowered her voice. "So, you're saying he could still cause trouble for US in secret?"
"He hasn't directly caused US trouble, but indirectly helping Everett could be seen as causing trouble,"
Nicole said calmly.
Lulu's eyes widened in shock. "He's actually helping Everett!"
"That's to be expected," Nicole said with a slight darkening of her gaze." But even if they're
collaborating, they each have their own ulterior motives."
After a moment of thought, Lulu nodded. "That makes sense. Their end goals are probably the same,
so they're both friends and enemies."
"Alright, get to work," Nicole said before heading to her own office.
novelbinShe was aware of Lawrence's secret activities, as Charlie had already uncovered them.
She knew that Lawrence had been covertly aiding Everett, which explained Everett's continued
arrogance.None of this surprised her, but Lawrence's visit did. 'What is Lawrence thinking? Did he truly come to
see me and then leave? Was he genuinely passing by, or was it some kind of test?'
Meanwhile, outside Riddle Corporation, after getting into his car, Lawrence
instructed Ian, "Drive."
"Yes, sir." Starting the car, Ian glanced at Lawrence through the rearview mirror and remarked,
"Meeting old friends can sometimes be painful, reminding US of things we'd rather forget."
At this point, he felt Lawrence and Nicole must both be fully aware of the situation.
Without a word, Lawrence shifted his gaze to the car window. He had really just passed by and
suddenly felt a strong desire to see Nicole. Yet, upon seeing her, he realized there really was nothing
left to say between them.
'When I was facing her, I didn't know what to say and even wanted to run away. Despite knowing how it
would feel, I couldn't resist stealing a glance at her.'
At this thought, his gaze gradually darkened. His expression shifted from hesitation to resolution.
