Chapter 2089

Ever since Nicole had reunited with Lulu, things had gotten much easier for her, as she could now face things with much ease.

Lulu too knew that her role had been set in stone, and that was when her face assumed a solemn look, “Okay, but what exactly am I doing?”

Lulu had just started her job here, so she was unsure of what exactly her role was.

“You can go to the assistant’s office and ask him to hand you some stuff,” Nicole replied.

Nicole had decided that Lulu was to join her at the Riddle Corporation from the get-go, she had briefed Wayne on Lulu’s addition to the team. As such, he would know what to do.

“Okay!” Lulu agreed before turning around to leave.

Nicole was smiling with satisfaction, as Lulu was able to adapt very quickly. ‘I think us joining forces will be something for others to look out for in the future.’

After a while, Lulu came into the office with an uneasy look on her face and a document in her hand.

“Are we heading over there now?”

Lulu had just joined the company, and right off the bat, she had become Nicole’s secretary and was about to be whisked away to a negotiation on a business deal. Because of this, she was all over the place, unprepared for what was to come.

“Don’t be nervous. I’ll be there with you. Come on.” Nicole got up and proceeded to walk off.

‘There was no requirement to prepare any materials as the meeting was set up just to finalize the deal,’

Nicole thought Lulu gritted her teeth nervously as she followed Nicole from behind. It was not long until they reached the place where they were supposed to conduct that meeting with Mr.

Harmon. Unexpectedly Raine and James Harlow were present.

Feeling that this meeting was going to drag on, she composed herself and looked at Mr. Harmon.

“Greetings Mr.

Harmon, I’m Nicole.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Miss Riddle.” Mr. Harmon got up from his seat and happily shook hands with Nicole.

Sensing a hint of embarrassment from him, Nicole narrowed her eyes a little before sitting down, acting as if nothing was wrong.

“You’re late. How are you so entitled? This is embarrassing for the family name,” Raine remarked while giving Nicole a long face.

“Stop sputtering nonsense. We had an appointment at nine. There’s still five minutes to go,” Lulu argued, clearly pissed off at Raine who was deliberately picking a fight with them “Don’t you know that arriving early is basic courtesy?” Raine argued, unable to stomach Lulu’s reply.

“Coming from a graduate from an unknown university, you sure have lots of free time on your hands.

Nicole is a very busy person, and every second is precious. So, for her to arrive five minutes earlier has already demonstrated respect and sincerity toward Mr. Harmon,” Lulu retorted.

“You!” Raine was rendered speechless, her face as pale as a sheet.

Nicole was also taken aback by Lulu’s sharp comeback.’ How did she learn to be so quick witted? I can’t recall how she was like before, but this clearly wasn’t stated in the information that was given to me?’

“Raine. We’re here to discuss our business deal with Mr.

Harmon. We ought to be friendly and courteous toward one another. Everyone’s time is precious,”

James butted in as he attempted to be the peacemaker, while low-key implying the fault was Nicole’s.

Nicole raised her eyebrows, and spoke profoundly, “Being bogged down by unnecessary trivialities is not on my agenda. I’m here to discuss serious business matters…”
