Since Harvey had given them the chance to bring him down, they would just seize it. It would be stupid not to.After careful consideration, Nicole smirked and said, "Well, that works.""I'll get on it then!" Lulu beamed excitedly, ready to do something big.And to that, Nicole chuckled and nodded in agreement, "Right. I'll leave it to you."Since Lulu had taken charge of any dealings with the Ellison Group, Nicole had faith that she would be able handle it well."I'll be on my way, then," Lulu responded, and began humming a cheerful tune as she left.After giving Lulu's figure a smile, Nicole got busy and flipped through the documents on the desk to peruse them.About an hour later, she heard a knock on a door."Come in," Nicole said without looking up, as she was focused on her work.It was Patricia, who then opened the door and walked up to Nicole's desk. "Ms. Riddle? There are updates pertaining to Damien."Upon hearing that, Nicole immediately looked up. 'Has he finally d

"Hehe." Ellar awkwardly smiled. "She got injured while saving me, so I just wanted to know more about her.""Is that all?" Nicole squinted at Ellar, unable to shake the feeling that he was up to something.There was something obviously unnatural and forced about the expression on his face, and yet he stuck to his guns and insisted, "Yes, that's all.""Oh." Nicole uttered, trying to stop herself from exposing him.After shooting him another glance, she said, "Patricia didn't come.""Is she okay?" Ellar asked, seemingly a little disappointed."The injury has already healed. You don't need to worry about it," Nicole replied with a slight smile as she looked at him.Ellar looked away in discomfort, and after coming up with an excuse to skedaddle, he said, "I'm running out of time. I'll go meet my business partner now.""Sure, go ahead." Nicole grinned.Ellar was beginning to feel a little uneasy. Something told him that Nicole had seen through him, and that was good enough of a re

Nicole, however, had an inexplicable feeling of unease in her heart. She could not put a finger on what was wrong, but she just could not shake the feeling of disquiet within her."Let's eat first, and then we'll go upstairs to check." Jared comforted her, as he saw that she looked somewhat worried.He thought there was nothing particularly unusual about Nolan's behavior but considering that she had been taking care of the kid for the past five years, and because she knew the boy better than he did, it would be in their best interest to give it a look later on."Okay." Nicole nodded in agreement, still feeling that it was necessary for them to go up later and see what was going on."Tia, our company has a minor team-building exercise tomorrow. Would you like to join?" June asked."Ah? I-I'd rather not." Tia instinctively refused.Refusing to give up, June continued to persuade Tia. "Most of them are from the previous group of bridesmaids, whom you've met. There are only a few you

"What?" Jared squinted when he saw the look of unease on her face."This game seems to have been deliberately made for Nolan to discover," Nicole realized.It was not something Nolan accidentally stumbled upon, but rather something that was sent to him, giving him a false sense of coincidence."Who is behind this, and why would they do that?" Jared's expression darkened.Nicole then shared her analysis with Jared, and the more he thought about it, the more furious he became. If her assumptions were correct, it was evident that this game was deliberately designed for a nefarious reason."I need you to log into Nolan's computer tomorrow to investigate," Jared ordered."Okay," Nicole nodded.For now, they could only keep their suspicions under wraps, as a discreet investigation would only be possible later on.Jared then patted her on the shoulder to comfort her. "Don't worry. Everything will be fine."If there was an ulterior motive on the part of the developers, it would most l

Dusk arrived in the blink of an eye, and just like that, it was time for them to clock out.With that, Nicole and Lulu left the company together, while Patricia drove them to the location where they had agreed to meet up with the rest.Upon arrival, Nicole saw Tia waiting at the restaurant's entrance, waving happily as she spotted them."Hi, Nicole," Tia greeted Nicole with joy.The feeling of loneliness within her was gone in an instant."You're remarkably punctual," Lulu teased after they approached Tia."I didn't want everyone to wait for me," Tia explained softly.Lulu then glanced at Nicole and said, "Let's go inside. I think everyone else should be here by now.""Sure," Nicole agreed.But just as they were about to enter, someone called out to her. "Hey Nicole! Wait for me!"Nicole turned around and was surprised to see Ellar rushing over to her, causing a smirk to play on her face.She suddenly understood why Ellar was not reluctant to leave this morning. He had proba
