Putting aside the documents, Nicole stood up and left her office.
"Let's hit up that spot across the street," Lulu suggested.
"Sounds good to me," Nicole agreed.
novelbinAs they waited for Patricia to join them, they all rode the elevator down together.
"Nicole, isn't Everett unusually quiet?" Lulu frowned, noticing his uncharacteristic silence.
"The quieter he is, the more it means he's plotting something," Nicole remarked with a touch of
coldness. Her expression turned serious as she silently mused, 'The calm before the storm often hides
looming threats.'
"Ms. Riddle, has Preston not received any updates?" Patricia inquired, looking worried.
Nicole sighed and shook her head. "We did follow some leads, but unfortunately, they didn't lead
anywhere."
"Did you get caught?" Lulu's face slightly paled.
"No," Nicole clarified. "They successfully infiltrated his assistant's computer without detection. However,
Everett suspected his side was being monitored due to past incidents, so he instructed his men to stop
using computers."
Everett was sharp enough to detect the problem based on these incidents and adapted accordingly. As
a result, Preston and his team couldn't find any useful information.Patricia looked puzzled. "If they're not using computers, how are they getting things done?" She felt it
seemed extreme to completely abandon
computers.
"Now, whatever Preston's team manages to find has nothing to do with our company; anything related
to me is untraceable," Nicole stated. It
appeared that Everett's plans involving her were no longer discussed or stored electronically.
"Ugh," Lulu rolled her eyes, "Even without hacking, we're not intimidated by him." If they couldn't dig up
anything, then that was that. They were ready to confront whatever challenges came their way, without
backing down.
'He's overly cautious about your strategies," Patricia remarked disdainfully.
"He's just intimidated by Nicole," Lulu shrugged, her expression tinged with disdain. After all, Nicole's
capabilities were well-known, even to Everett.
"Despite this, we should remain cautious," Patricia interjected seriously. Everett's heightened vigilance
toward Nicole meant their movements would be harder to detect, concealing deeper dangers.
’It's maddening. We wont let him off the hook once we catch him red- handed," Lulu retorted angrily.
Exiting the elevator, Nicole calmly said, "Let's go, it's time to eat."
For now, there was no need to dwell on these matters. Enjoying their meal took precedence when
nothing untoward had happened yet.
As the sun set, Nicole left the company and saw Jared's car slowly approaching.The car pulled up in front of her, and she opened the door, getting in.
"Have you been waiting long?" Jared asked softly.
"I just came out," Nicole smiled. "But you're a bit later than usual today. Did you have more work?"
"I had a video conference at the end of the day," Jared replied, taking her hand.
Though he was a bit late, Nicole was grateful he still managed to pick her up on time.
Resting her head on his shoulder, Nicole said, "If you're busy with work, you don't have to pick me up. I
can make my own way back."
Jared stroked her hair, smiling. "Whenever I can, I'll be here."
Even when he couldn't make it, he made sure someone reliable was there for her.
Understanding his concern about Everett possibly targeting her, Nicole felt a warm sense of gratitude.
"Don't worry too much. I actually hope he doesn't stay too quiet."
