Chapter 2122

-Lawrence glanced at Ian with an annoyed expression which ultimately shut him up.

After some time, they arrived at the Riddle Corporation.

They greeted the receptionist and walked into the elevator to get to Nicole’s office.

The receptionist had already notified Nicole, so she knew that Lawrence was coming. When Nicole heard someone knocking on her door, she immediately said, “Come in.”

Lawrence opened the door, and Nicole smiled. “What brings you here? Work?”

Since Lawrence had always brought collaboration projects whenever he visited her, Nicole assumed that Lawrence must be here for work this time.

But unexpectedly, Lawrence calmly sat down on the couch and said, “I’m not busy today, so I thought I’d come and see you.”

Nicole was both amused and defeated. “You’re not busy?”

The Genesis Group had just entered San Joto and was currently in a vigorous development stage, so she thought Lawrence should be busy.

“Of course, I’m not made of iron.” Lawrence pushed the blame onto his body instead of admitting that he had less work.

“Well, let’s just assume you’re here to rest.” Nicole knew there were some questions she could not ask too explicitly, so she changed the topic. “But you’re not just going to sit in my office, are you?”

Even if he wanted to rest, he should have somewhere else to go instead of wasting time here.

“Just for a while,” Lawrence knew he could not stay here indefinitely, and Nicole would not agree to it either. Besides, it was a workplace, and it was inappropriate for him to stay for too long.

Nicole felt helpless upon hearing this. “You’re not in any trouble, are you?”

Lawrence’s gaze slightly flickered. But he quickly returned to normal and smiled. “Just some minor work troubles.”

Knock, knock.

After the sound of knocking, Lulu pushed the door open.” Coffee.”

Nicole arched her brows, wondering why Lulu was the one bringing the coffee.

Lulu placed the coffee down and glanced discreetly at Lawrence. She inexplicably felt cautious toward this unfamiliar man.

Nicole sighed in silence as she reminded Lulu, “It’s fine. You can leave now.”

“Sure.” Lulu nodded and left.

“Your secretary.” Lawrence squinted slightly. Lulu’s actions back there did not escape his eyes.

“Yeah.” Nicole did not explain any further. She did not remember anything about the past, so she did not want to say much about it either.

Lawrence was a little curious, though. “When did you get a new secretary?”

“She’s not really a replacement; just an addition,” Nicole explained.

Upon hearing this, Lawrence did not ask any further and took a few sips of his coffee.

“Are you doing well recently?” Lawrence casually asked.

“Not bad. Why do you ask?” Nicole was a bit puzzled, suddenly feeling that Lawrence was acting a bit strange today.

Lawrence smiled slightly, seemingly relieved. “It seems like you’ve adapted well to life in San Joto.”

“Well, not exactly adapted, but I know that some things are my responsibility, so it’s easier for me to accept,” Nicole shrugged. In fact, thinking about her life after returning, Nicole found that it was smoother than she had anticipated.

“That’s good,” Lawrence appeared quite reassured.
