Chapter 2123

Nicole squinted slightly and asked, “Why do you ask?” “I’m planning to return to the island soon, and I figured that you probably don’t have time to come with me. That’s why I’m here to ask if you want anything from the island,” Lawrence explained with a smile.

“You’re going back to Crescent Island?!” Nicole was shocked. ‘Why is he going back all of a sudden?’

She had decided to settle in San Joto and had already taken care of everything on Crescent Island.

Lawrence had also made all the necessary arrangements before coming to San Joto and even expanded his business here. Forthat reason, she did not expect Lawrence to suddenly want to go back.

“I have some urgent matters to attend to back there, but I’ll be back soon,” Lawrence said.

“Oh.” Nicole didn’t inquire further and just told Lawrence, “I don’t have anything I want from there.”

“Alright, I’ll be back as soon as possible.” Lawrence got up and prepared to leave.

Nicole raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you leaving now?”

“Yeah. I’m going back to pack up and I’ll head to the airport right after.” Lawrence looked at Nicole and ultimately swallowed the words of asking her to send him off at the airport. ‘Nicole probably won’t go.’

“Well, if there’s anything you need help with, feel free to contact me.” Nicole was willing to help him if she could. Previously, Lawrence had always been the one helping her, but now that she had the ability, she was more than willing to assist him too.

Though Lawrence did not mention his reasons, Nicole knew that his sudden departure must mean that he had encountered some trouble.

“Thank you.” Lawrence smiled with satisfaction. ‘At least she still cares about me.’

After Nicole had seen Lawrence off, Lulu entered the office and asked, “That’s the CEO of Genesis Group, right? But why wasn’t he here to discuss work?”

“Do you know him?” Nicole was puzzled. ‘How did Lulu know Lawrence’s identity?’

“I just found out,” Lulu smirked and scratched her head.

Nicole found it amusing. “Why are you so interested in him?”

“Because of you, duh! Don’t you think there’s something strange about him? He gives off a mysterious vibe,” Lulu genuinely reminded Nicole.

Although she only took a quick glance, Lawrence really did give her that kind of impression.

Nicole arched her brows as she wondered, ‘Lawrence did have multiple identities, but I’m surprised that Lulu could sense it just from a brief encounter.’

Unbeknownst to Nicole, Lulu found Lawrence strange not because of his identity, but due to her intuition.

Since Nicole had some understanding of Lawrence’s situation, she naturally assumed that Lulu was talking about Lawrence’s identity.

Indeed, Lawrence’s identity was more mysterious to others, but it was also a form of self-protection.

So, Nicole did not think that there was anything wrong with it.

Nicole bit her lips and looked at Lulu, “He is my friend, and he saved my life back then. During the last five years, he has helped me and taken care of me a lot.”

“Oh, I see.” Lulu came to a realization. ‘No wonder Lawrence’s attitude toward Nicole seemed different.

He’s a savior!’

“What’s with that expression? What did you think it was?” Nicole could not help but roll her eyes when she saw Lulu’s failed attempt at gossip.

“It’s nothing, I just suddenly feel like I gained another benefactor.” Lulu’s eyes gleamed with sincerity as she expressed her gratitude.
