Chapter 2111

“Are you sure everything’s alright? Why’s your face so red?” Lulu asked, stretching her hand out in an effort to feel Nicole’s forehead for a fever.

After ducking away from Lulu’s hand, Nicole replied, “I’m fine, really. It’s a little hot today.”

“Hot?” Lulu looked over at the thermostat, through which the temperature for the air conditioner had been set to the lowest.

Nicole then followed Lulu’s gaze. ‘How could I find such a lame excuse!?’

“Nicole, you’re not feeling hot. Are you…shy?” Lulu discovered in surprise, seeming to understand why Nicole looked a little off.

Overwhelmed by an instant surge of embarrassment, Nicole went ahead and protested, “No, why would I be shy?”

“Oh.’ Lulu frowned, thinking for a while before nodding.” You’re right.”

Finally, Nicole heaved a mental sigh of relief as she saw that Lulu did not press on with any further questions. “Okay.

There’s nothing wrong with me, you can go do your work.”

“Okay, then I’ll be off now” Lulu turned around and left the office.

Once again, Nicole unconsciously recalled her dream from the night before, and when she did, her face flushed a deep shade of red once more.

That train of thought was only derailed when she heard a knock on the door, allowing her to snap out of it and say,” Come in.”

Lulu opened the door and entered before placing a document on Nicole’s desk with a serious expression on her face. “There seems to be a problem.”

“Where?” Nicole opened the document suspiciously, skimming through the contents with her eyebrows furrowed.

“Nicole, what’s the problem? I was called over by the president’s secretary. The look on her face was a little weird when she said this is for you. So, I brought this over immediately.”

Lulu’s face was twisted in a panic, as she could sense that things were not right from the look on the president’s secretary’s face.

An icy glint suddenly flashed in Nicole’s eyes, “Someone is deliberately causing us trouble again.”

“Trouble?” Lulu became puzzled, but in less than a second, she understood that Nicole was referring to Dillon and Damien.

“Damien.” Nicole uttered slowly as her eyes became even frostier.

“What did he do?” Lulu’s expression changed immediately.’ Is it because of yesterday’s stock fluctuations? But it didn’t harm the branch company, so why is he starting a fight in an empty house?’

“He reported us to the police.” The corner of Nicole’s mouth curled up as she snickered. ‘Only he would think of something as devious as this.’

Lulu’s eyes widened in shock. “He reported you?!”

‘What are we going to do? Why did he report her?’ Lulu panicked.

“It’s okay. You may return to your work,” said Nicole composedly. ‘Since he wants to take it out on the main branch, I’d like to see him try to obtain any solid evidence.’

However, Lulu was still worried as she asked, “Are you sure everything’s okay?”

“Yeah. It’s all nonsense, anyway.” Nicole placed the document down after she had read its contents, paying it little to no mind.

‘If Dillion had discovered that it was Nolan’s fault, I would have to think of someone who has appeared to be more competent than Preston seems to be. But now, he’s suspecting that the main office has messed with his stocks. It’s completely absurd. Not even I would use this silly method to deal with them,’ she thought.

Relieved when she saw how confident Nicole was, Lulu nodded and agreed, “Okay, if you need anything, do let me know.”

Nicole watched as Lulu left. Then, she glanced at the document once more, sneered, and picked the phone up to make a call. “Steve.”

“I saw the document,” Steve said, cutting to the chase.
