“Hey. Feel free to call us when we aren’t busy.” Lulu smiled.
Although it was their first time meeting each other, Lulu could instantly vibe with Cindy as if they were old friends who had met after a long time apart.
“Anytime.” Nicole agreed with a friendly smile.
“Thank you!” Cindy said.
She was touched by their gesture of kindness, as she finally had people in San Joto whom she could call friends. Now, she would not have to feel the sting of loneliness anymore.
“Alright, you should head back,” Lulu reminded Cindy, seeing that lunch time was over.
Everyone got into their rides, bade their goodbyes, and went their merry way.
By the time Nicole and Lulu returned to the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, they already had a pile of documents waiting forthem.
“I still have a few documents to go through, so I’ll be returning to my office now,”
Lulu informed after they had exited the elevator.
Then, she made a beeline for her office, while Nicole sauntered back to hers.
They just had a good lunch with Cindy in the afternoon, so Nicole was in a great mood.
After Nicole had entered her office, she sat down and buried herself in her work.
Sunset arrived in the blink of an eye, and when Nicole stepped out of the office building, Jared was already at the entrance waiting for her.
With a smile on her face, Nicole approached the car, opened the doorand got in.
“You’ve waited for very long, haven’t you?” Nicole beamed as she asked Jared.
“Not really.” Jared gently held both of her hands, his eyes gentle and affectionate.
Leaning her head on Jared’s shoulders, Nicole stopped and put herself at ease.
“Why? Are you worried about something?” Jared asked in a soft voice.
He could tell that Nicole was in a different mood today.
“It’s nothing. I just made a new friend, and I found it interesting.” Nicole smiled.
“Martin’s research partner?” Jared asked, knowing who Nicole was referring to.
This shocked Nicole, who replied, “How did you know? Was it Patricia?”
“I guess so.” Jared answered without giving her a detailed explanation.
As a matter of fact, Patricia was just reporting to Charlie when she mentioned that Nicole was eating out for lunch in passing.
Knowing that it was probably Charlie who had brought it up during lunch hour, Nicole simply nodded.
“She just invited me out for a meal all of a sudden and asked me about Martin.”
Nicole briefly explained, knowing that Jared would not be interested in the details.
As expected, Jared did not even bother asking for more.
Instead, he changed the subject of the conversation.” Charlie has received some information about the Eastern Falcon. The men working behind the scenes are very secretive, so we don’t know who they are yet.”
“Can’t Charlie look into it?” Nicole asked, surprised and curious about who they could be.
However, Jared simply shook his head. “I’ve already ordered Zane to look into it.”
“Zane?” Nicole frowned, after which she slowly turned to Jared as her eyes welled up. “How is he doing?”
All of a sudden, Nicole’s memories of Zane came rushing back. It had been hidden in the deepest recesses of her brain for a long time now, and no one had been able to unveil them. Therefore, there must have been something of great significance to her in that sudden recollection.
