Chapter 2088

Noticing the look of guilt in Nicole’s eyes, Jared’s eyes glinted with shrewdness. ‘So, she was indeed complaining just now. Is there someone else who wants her to treat them to a meal?’

Before Jared had time to dwell on it, the car halted.

“I’ve arrived!” Nicole exclaimed, hurriedly getting out of the car as if Jared would interrogate her if she lingered for another second.

“Nicole!” A voice tinged with excitement cut through the air before she saw a figure fluttering toward her like a butterfly.

“Lulu?” Nicole asked, surprised to see her here.

Once he had noticed Lulu, Jared’s eyes regained their usual coldness. “I’ll be back to pick you up from work.”

Then, he drove off.

“Woah, that’s so sweet. You have someone to send and pick you up every day,” Lulu teased, looking all gossipy.

Nicole issued a sigh of relief after Jared had left. Although Jared had not said a word, she could feel the overwhelming pressure when he was around. She felt better now that he was gone.

“Stop staring, he’s gone. Don’t worry! Mr. Johnston said he was going to pick you up from work later,”

Lulu teased mischievously.

Nicole rolled her eyes at Lulu and changed the subject. “Why are you here?”

“For induction!” Lulu shook the offer letter in her hand, smiling proudly.

Nicole was taken by surprise. “You applied for the job?”

‘I thought I told her to join the company, but why did she apply and interview for the position? So that was why I didn’t see her yesterday. I thought she hadn’t resigned from her old job,’ Nicole thought.

“I got home and gave it a lot of thought. I think it’s better to not use your name and join the company directly. So, I applied for the job,” Lulu honestly admitted.

She was grateful for Nicole’s help, but she did not want to cause any problems for her.

“It doesn’t matter. Why can’t I, the chairwoman, appoint a secretary by myself?” Nicole beamed and teased.

“Well, of course. You can, since you’re the chairman. But I’m after all…” Lulu paused, after which her eyes widened.

“Wait, what? What did you just say?” she continued.

Lulu felt it was like a dream to work at Riddle Corporation, and to top it all off, Nicole even wanted her to be her secretary.

In response, Nicole’s lips lifted. “Come on, let’s go.”

“Oh, alright,” Lulu followed Nicole upstairs to her office in a daze.

“Nicole, do you really want me to be your secretary?” Lulu asked again in disbelief, feeling that it was all too good to be true.

“Yes, of course. Have I ever deceived you?” Nicole asked back in bemusement.

In response, Lulu shook her head and thought, ‘Nicole would never lie to me. This is just unbelievable. I became the secretary for the chairman of Riddle Corporation. This feels like a soaring achievement.’

“Alright then, let’s get to work,” Nicole shook her head while smiling.

Nicole had no intention to start Lulu’s career at the bottom of the ladder at Riddle Corporation. She believed that this was a win-win situation. After all, Lulu had just changed her job, and she needed someone trustworthy by her side all the while, which was something Jared would not be able to do. The truth was, even if Jared was willing to do so, Nicole would never burden him.
