‘However, I've been thinking about what happens after I retire, and if I could, I'll definitely be of help to the Riddle family"
Nicole thought as she was dumbfounded for a moment.
‘Once, Jared had mentioned about it before, and here I am, thinking about retirement...Men are indeed toxic."
After the meeting at Daniel's study had ended, Nicole headed downstairs where the Riddle family proceeded to eat in peace.
The family then discussed about the company's annual meeting, which would be held on the weekend.
Spencer and Samuel were both in a pickle.
"The clothes for the annual meeting are ready, but our plus one..."
Stanley, who was seated beside them, sighed.
"How are you two? It's totally normal for people your age to not have any plus ones."
"Who said so? Stanley, it would be embarrassing if you show up without a plus one."
Once these words were uttered, Stanley's expression turned sour, "Who told you that I'm not bringing a plus one?"
As those words left his mouth, everyone around the table looked at him, with Spencer smirking at him.
"Stanley, you've already found your plus one?"
The second he was asked, Stanley immediately paused, irritated at himself for not being able to contain his emotions well as he saw the whole family staring at him with anticipation.
Then, he looked at Tia who had been silent for the entire time as she sat next to Mrs.Wallace Sr.
"Here, isn't this already out of the box?"
A sudden mention by Stanley took Tia by surprise, "Mr.Stanley, are you talking about me?"
Indeed, Tia did not expect that Stanley would call out to her.
Nicole would not have guessed that Stanley would have Tia as his plus one, so she flashed them a playful smile and continued to watch the scene unfolding before her.
Stanley nodded earnestly, and as he noticed that Tia was a little taken aback, his voice softened.
"Well, do you want to be my plus one?"
Gloria and Daniel looked at Stanley directly before exchanging glances, having arrived at an understanding.
‘Our son is old enough to make his own decisions"
"I...Can I go? Nicole?"
Tia hesitated for a moment, and proceeded to ask Nicole for permission.
Though she was not a servant of the Riddle family, with Mrs.Wallace Sr.
not regarding her as one either, she still did not feel that she was qualified to attend any occasions related to the Riddle family.
"My brother invited you.If he thinks that you can, then you can."
Nicole smiled, attempting to reassure Tia.
And in a tone showing that he felt discouraged, Samuel said, "It's over.We should not even have asked.The three of us should have taken the lead.We've forgotten that there's a cute girl living in our house."
Nicole looked at Samuel who seemed dejected, and that was when an idea came to mind.
"Spencer and Samuel, I can help you solve your plus one concerns."
"Really?' Spencer asked, taking a sudden interest in the conversation.
"Who is it? Do we know each other?"
Samuel added, becoming curious as well.
In response, Nicole playfully mentioned, "June Wallace and Lulu Barrera."
Spencer and Samuel were stunned for a moment.
They had previously met for a couple of times, and although their interactions were limited, they were not problematic individuals.
With that said, the twins did not really have any choice left, as they did not know anyone who would be reliable enough for the role.
Though there were a lot of girls in their school to choose from, both Lulu and June were known to be the only mindless fanatics who would swoon over them.
"Sure, why not!"
The two of them agreed at once, fearing that they would lose the opportunity if they did not take it, and that they would have to worry about this again.
"Okay! "
'This is not only troublesome, but June and Lulu will be ecstatic once they find out.."
