Noticing that Jared had also gotten up, she asked, “Are you going out?”
“No, I’m not,” he replied.
Max should have left the country by now, with the people in San Joto and abroad believing that Jared
was no longer in the country. Thus, he could not make an appearance in public for the time being.
“Why aren’t you sleeping then?” Nicole asked, thinking he should get more sleep.
“It’s okay now. There are a few things I need to take care of for now,” he replied.
Jared then made a beeline for the bathroom but was stopped midway by Nicole, who hugged him around
the waist.
Nicole smiled as she looked up at him. “I’m going to work. You will eat well and rest well, okay? I’ll be
back early after work.”
After giving her a tender smile, he lowered his head to kiss Nicole on the lips.
“Sure.” Jared nodded following the lingering morning kiss.
Nicole then rolled her eyes and walked out of the house, her cheeks as red as roses. As for Jared, his
eyes were brimming with tenderness as he watched her recede from view.
The moment Nicole stepped out onto the lawn, the chauffeur immediately pulled up and took Nicole to
her office, into which she entered upon arrival.
“I thought you weren’t coming in today.” Lulu waltzed in with a cup of coffee and handed it to Nicole.
“Thank you.” Nicole took a sip from the cup.
“Have you had your breakfast?” Lulu asked.
“Nope.” Nicole shook her head.
She had woken up late, and since she wanted to arrive as soon as possible, she did not eat at home.
“I knew you didn’t, so I’ve asked the secretary to get you some,” Lulu said, frowning.
As expected, Lulu’s little thoughtful gesture placed a smile on Nicole’s face. “It’s good to have you
around, you know that?”
“I’m glad you know that,” Lulu said smugly, before sitting down and looking Nicole in the eye. “Did Mr.
Johnston actually travel abroad?”
After looking around her, Nicole lowered her voice and whispered, “No. It’s all a ruse.”
Surprised, Lulu lowered her voice to a whisper mirroring Nicole’s. “I see.”
She knew that something was going on, but since the issue pertained to Johnston Group and not Riddle
Corporation, she stopped probing. There was not much she could ask in regard to a problem which did
not concern her.
Nicole nodded, opting not to further the discussion. As everything had already been set in motion, all
they had to do now was wait for the outcome to unfold.
“Ah, Damien has been behaving rather strangely too. Usually, he would be at the rendezvous point, but
I’ve seen no signs of him today. I am not sure if he has discovered something or if his role in the mission
has already been fulfilled,”
Lulu said to Nicole.
With a frown etched on her face, Nicole asked, “Damien didn’t show up today, huh?”
“Yeah, I think there is a problem,” Lulu added, though she did not know what had happened exactly.
“Got it. I’ll get Patricia to investigate it.” Nicole nodded, and proceeded to call Patricia.
And after filling Patricia in on her concerns, she hung up.
She had expected Damien to notice the men she had assigned to surveil him.
While he might not know who was tracking him, he was probably aware that someone had been tailing
him at this point.
‘Even if that’s the case, why would Damien suddenly change his habits?’ she wondered. ‘Is it because he
truly doesn’t care, or is it because he is left with no other choice?’ “Nicole!” Lulu’s eyes widened. “Could
Damien be trying to escape?”
“Escape?” Nicole mumbled, pondering the possibilities.
As Lulu thought about it, she explained, “You see, Emery’s wedding is taking place tomorrow, and
everyone in the Riddle family will be too focused on the ceremony to pay attention to him. This is the
perfect opportunity for him to flee, don’t you think?”
