“Go for it, everyone.” Nicole had done all’ her homework and left the classroom with her books. Gary
saw her go out and followed her.
“Are your homework all done?” Nicole asked him.
“Almost. Where are you going?” Gary looked at her.
“Almost is not good enough. Ms. Emerson will fix you good and proper if you drag the class back.” “So,
where are you going?”
Nicole stopped and looked at him. “Does where I go have anything to do with you?”
“Please don’t mind. I was just asking.” Gary hurriedly explained. Nicole shot him a look and then
walked toward the library. Gary stopped talking and followed Nicole.
The library was quiet, and Nicole found a seat at the side to read a book while Gary sat down not far
from her, keeping an eye on Nicole from time to time.
Chloe got up with a dry mouth and went to the dining room for water. Recalling what Henry had said
last night,she dialed Miley’s number. “Hello, Mom?”
“Chloe, aren’t you busy today?” “After the commercial shoot , I can take some time off. What have you
been up to lately?” Chloe asked casually.
“I’m not busy with anything. If you’re off, why don’t you come home for a few days?” Miley had not seen
her for a long time, so she missed her.
“Yeah, why not? I will pack up and then go home for a few days,” Chloe said happily. “Okay, what do
you like to eat? I’ll prepare it for you.” Miley was filled with joy when she heard Chloe was coming
home.
“Of course, the dishes you make.”
“Okay. I guarantee you will get to eat as soon as you get back. Go pack up. I will prepare the
ingredients,” Miley said.
“Okay, bye.” Chloe put the phone down and came to sit down on the couch. When she saw the
handbag on the coffee table, it reminded her of the diamond. So she quickly checked it. “It scared the
hell out of me.” Looking at the diamond in her hand, Chloe thought of Nicole.” Aren’t you going to
investigate? Now that the diamond is in my hand, I will see how you can investigate it.” She put the
diamond away and went wash up.
Nicole was concentrating on her book in the library when someone walked up to her and sat down. She
looked up and found that it was Harvey. “How did you know I was here?” Nicole knew Harvey did not
come to the library to read books.
“I asked someone else.”
“Nicole, in a few days, Aegis Corporation is going to hold a project seminar, and all the companies
working on their projects are going to send people over. Sean and I have discussed it and agreed that it
would be best for you to go. “Harvey only talked about work, so Nicole was not so antipathetic. “Me?”
Nicole did not want to go at all. ‘Why do they think I’m the best fit?’
“Yes, after all, the boss of Aegis Corporation knows you. So you are the most suitable person.” Harvey
looked at him with firm eyes. “What if I don’t want to go?” Nicole looked at him indifferently. “It doesn’t
matter if you don’t want to go. At worst, Riddle Corporation will not get another project from Aegis
Corporation.” “Don’t you know that Riddle Corporation has always spoken on merit?” Nicole was not
too happy with Harvey’s statement.
“On the Aegis Corporation project, we all know why Riddle Corporation was successful in the bid. It
certainly wasn’t just because of the Ellison family,” Harvey said, and the meaning could not have been
clearer.
