Closing the bedroom door behind her, Nicole plonked herself on her queen size bed, able to finally get some proper sleep.
A few days later, she went to Martin's factory.
"How is the production coming along, Martin?” Nicole asked, looking at Martin in his office.
"It is going well. The production levels are gradually returning to the same as before," Martin replied.
"That's good," Nicole said. “Are there a lot of orders piling up?"
"There are quite a lot of orders coming in, but we're certain that we'll be able to complete them before the delivery dateline," Martin said, confident in his abilities.
‘It seems that you've already gotten a handle on it. By the way, what about the technicians that Jared had recruited for you?" Nicole asked, as she thought of Jared.
"Those technicians that Mr. Johnston had recruited were godsend.
Otherwise, I guess we would have to wait for a few more days before we can start with the production.” Martin looked at Nicole with gratitude in his eyes.
‘I knew I could trust Jared with this.” Nicole looked at Martin with pride. She knew Jared would always be circumspect and would do his best in everything he was assigned.
"Nicole, I heard that the McCarthy family is back, but the thing is, why haven't we heard anything about them?” Martin looked at Nicole in puzzlement.
"I've got no idea. I’ve received no news about the McCarthy family as of late. I'm not sure what they are up to," Nicole said as she narrowed her upturned eyes.
"Nicole, have you discovered the identity of the person whom the stalker of yours was working for?" Martin asked.
"Joyce," Nicole calmly uttered the name that Martin had in mind.
"I didn't expect it to really be her,” Martin murmured.
‘How did you know that?" Nicole looked at Martin in bafflement.
‘When I told you about it before this, my first vague suspicion was that it might be her. However, I had nothing to back it up, so I didn't dare to tell you lightly.” Martin explained.
"Oh, it is fine. I just didn't expect that the McCarthy family would have the nerve to return and put a target on my back,” she said.
As Joyce was the one who had started it all, Nicole wouldn't let her get away this time.
"Have you noticed any suspicious individuals in the factory recently?” Nicole suddenly asked.
‘No, things have been rather quiet. I think that, after the last incident, they would not dare make another again.” Martin looked at Nicole with a hint of assurance in his eyes.
‘The only issue is, we still do not know who was behind that arson attack." Martin added, looking distressed.
"Don't worry. The truth will come out eventually,” Nicole said.
"Mhm,” Martin uttered.
"Until we're able to bring the mastermind behind the attack to justice, we must not let our guard down, so that they can't find an opening to exploit," Nicole said.
"I have beefed up our security," Martin said.
"That is great. Well, you should get busy now. I will leave you to your work." Nicole got up, said her goodbye, and proceeded to leave.
"Would you like to see the newly installed production plant?” Martin suddenly called out to Nicole.
‘Yeah. Why not?” Nicole turned around and followed Martin.
Concurrently, Max had walked into Jared's office after placing a few knocks on the door to report something to his employer. "Mr. Johnston, we've gotten some intel about the McCarthy family.”
Jared looked up at Max. "Speak up.”
‘We've found Joyce in a private mansion located in the outskirts of town. The McCarthy who had returned to the country earlier was indeed Joyce," Max said, telling Jared about all the information he had gathered.
‘So it really is her." Jared's eyes darkened as he stared ahead.
