How did Lawrence manage to tamper with the data of the Johnston Group? After all, only the people who had sifted through it would know, and only a minority of people in the company were a part of the process.
The only plausible explanation was that someone had leaked the company’s confidential information. Max, however, was of the opinion that none of the company’s employees had a motive to betray them. Other than that, nobody was seen behaving in an unusual manner.
“Arrange for a thorough investigation,” Jared instructed, his eyes glinting with frost.
They had to find out if it was an insider’s doing, as the company could not afford to keep a rat in their midst.
“Yes,” Max agreed with a somber expression. Indeed, the company could never keep and tolerate such moles who would stab them in the back.
“What’s going on over at Riddle Cooperation,” Jared asked.
“There is indeed a slight issue over at Mrs. Johnston’s place. But she has already made the necessary adjustments.
There’s no saying who would be the unfortunate one later on, though it would definitely not be Mrs. Johnston,” Max gloated.
Some people just could not seem to learn. None of them were remotely even in the same league as Nicole in the past. Even after five long years, they had not made any significant, tangible progress.
Knowing that Nicole was fine, Jared felt more at ease.” Alright, get back to work.”
“Yes,” Max obliged, turned, and left in a stride.
Thinking about Nicole, Jared smiled, and his dreary mood lightened a little.
On the other side, Nicole suddenly sneezed as she was busy with her work. “Achoo!”
After rubbing her nose, Nicole blinked her eyes and continued her work.
“Nicole, Mr. Johnston is probably thinking about you. Aren’t Lulu laughed, teasing Nicole.
“Nonsense, it was probably just the cold from the air conditioner,” Nicole playfully glared at Lulu, her cheeks flushed a shade of rosy red.
“Hehe,” Lulu approached and leaned against Nicole’s desk.
With one hand propping her chin up, she asked with an expression befitting of her gossipy nature. “So Nicole, when is your wedding with Jared? I bet it must be a grand one!”
Raising her eyebrows at Lulu, Nicole said meaningfully, “I’m the youngest in my family. Thus, my brothers should get married first.”
Not expecting Nicole to take control of the narrative, Lulu blushed at once. “Hey! We were clearly talking about you. Why are you dragging me into this now? Besides, we are not in a hurry.”
“Actually, you can be in a hurry,” Nicole smirked and teased.
This caused Lulu to shake her head vigorously. “No, we’re not. We are really not in a hurry.”
Seeing that Lulu had fallen for the bait, Nicole decided not to let her off the hook.
With a curious look, Nicole asked, “How’s it going with you and Spencer? I’ve noticed he’s been picking you up from work recently.”
Nicole thought that the couple should have made significant progress in were still at a standstill.
“W-We’re doing fine,” Lulu’s cheeks flushed an even darker shade of red.
Nicole raised her eyebrows, a knowing look flashing in her eyes. It seemed to her that good news would be just around the corner.
“It’s almost time for lunch. Let’s go,” Nicole stood up and stopped with the teasing.
“Let’s go then,” Lulu breathed an internal sigh of relief.
Being queried about her relationship with Spencer did indeed make her panic, and her heart, unbeknownst to her, was racing.
The two ladies walked out of the headquarters and headed for a meal at the restaurant near the company.
After ordering a meal, they got busy chit-chatting, when they suddenly heard a melodious violin duet.
“Woah, isn’t that Spencer?” Someone commented from a seat not far away.
“He’s so handsome. He’s simply a fluttering gentleman,” another person chimed in.
“Wait, hasn’t he always played solo before? Why would he be in a duet today?”
