Chapter 2159

“I can’t, but I hope NandoCorp wins.” Lulu shrugged, looking as if she was just enjoying the show.

Nicole raised an eyebrow. “Why do you want Damien to win?”

“Because I want Raine to lose,” Lulu said confidently.

Although Damien and his family were ridiculous people, Lulu just felt that it would be more entertaining to witness Raine’s misfortune. And to top it off, it was a reason that Nicole could get behind. Either way, it was a very solid reason. If Damien won, it could further broaden the rift between him and Dillon, which would in turn be beneficial for Nicole.

Moreover, the person she was most concerned with was Everett. If the battle progressed, there would be more opportunities for her to get to know him, which was indeed crucial for her.

“What do you think Raine will look like if she loses?” Lulu fantasized happily, as seeing Raine lose would definitely make her feel great.

Nicole smiled, realizing that they had formed an unbreakable bond. “About them, you will automatically know the outcome when it’s determined. Instead of that, why don’t you take some time to think about what you need to prepare for tonight’s family banquet?” Nicole calmly looked at Lulu.

“What? It’s happening today?!” Lulu’s smile instantly froze, as she was not ready for it yet.

Nicole nodded. “Yes, I think Spencer will come to pick you up after work.”

Lulu’s face fell at once. “Oh no, what should I do?”

“What are you afraid of?” Nicole asked in curiosity.

“I’m not afraid, but it’s only understandable for me to feel nervous, right? Weren’t you nervous when you met Mr.

Johnston’s relatives for the first time?” Lulu asked in return, wanting to seek some advice.

Nicole awkwardly averted her gaze as she could not remember any of it.

“I probably wasn’t too nervous,” Nicole responded with much uncertainty.

Although she could not remember anything, she believed that she was not nervous.

“Of course, there’s no need for you to be nervous,” Lulu stated with a look of disappointment. ‘But I am different.’

Nicole smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, it’s just a family dinner.”

Still feeling nervous, Lulu vigorously rubbed her cheeks while she motivated herself. “C’mon, I should really start preparing.”

Nicole could not help but chuckle when she saw Lulu scurrying away. ‘If this can make Lulu less nervous, I’ll just let her be.’

In a flash, office hours ended, and Nicole and Lulu left the company building together.

Lulu had changed out of her professional attire and was wearing an elegant dress, giving off an image of the girl next door.

Seeing this, Nicole smiled and praised her, “It suits you so well.”

Lulu blushed and tugged at her dress, lowering her head shyly in response.

“Nicole, Lulu?” Spencer’s voice blared out as he approached the two.

Raising an eyebrow, Nicole teased, “Hey Spencer, are you here to pick Lulu up?”

“Yeah, I’m taking her there,” Spencer responded candidly.

“Alright, I’ll leave her to you then.”

“Sure, see you at home.”

Then, Nicole walked to Jared’s car after Spencer had taken Lulu away.

Sean and Steve would be bringing their wives to the family banquet today, and that was why she had invited Lulu and June. After all, that was what a real family banquet should look like.

Getting in the car, Nicole shot a glance at Jared and asked,” Have you been waiting long?”
