Chapter 2213

Spencer’s arrival should have been a joyful occasion for Lulu. The thing was, Icyln was right beside Spencer, making Lulu still depressed.

“What’s going on between you two?” Nicole was quite upset with Spencer’s decision to bring Icyln along. ‘Had she not caused enough trouble before?’

Sensing Nicole’s emotions, Spencer explained helplessly,’ We bumped into each other just now.”

Spencer was here to pick up Lulu, and there was no way he would bring Icyln along with him. However, he had no choice but to take Icyln with him since she asked him for help.

“Well, isn’t that a coincidence,” Lulu snorted. “If I’m not mistaken, Ms. Icyln’s hotel is not in the same direction as Riddle Corporation.”

Who would believe in encountering each other twice like this? As if the photo incident was not enough, Lulu might have let this case slide as Preston promised his teacher to take care of Icyln. However, she could not overlook it now.

Not expecting Lulu to snap, Icyln’s face turned pale, and she apologized in shame. “I’m so sorry! I’m trying to find a place to stay. As I looked around, I passed by and coincidentally bumped into Preston.”

Icyln’s aggrieved look annoyed Lulu. Lulu thought, ‘I didn’t even say anything harsh. Why was she looking aggrieved? Shouldn’t it be the other way around?’

“Lulu, Icyln is looking at houses around this area. She’s going to buy an apartment and stop living in the hotel.” Spencer gently held Lulu’s hand. “Let’s go now that you’re off work.”

“Go?” Lulu said with confusion. So Spencer was telling her all this just to explain and not to defend Icyln?

For some reason, Lulu could not control herself and smiled at his actions. Nicole chuckled at the sight of Lulu unable to contain her joy and smile.

“Preston, I’m not familiar with this area. Could you come along to check out the apartment with me?”

Icyln asked pitifully and grabbed Spencer’s sleeve, sensing Spencer was going to leave with Lulu.

Spencer withdrew from her hold. He said awkwardly, “You won’t get to see any apartments as most of the agencies are off duty by this time. Honestly speaking, I’m not familiar with the area either. Why don’t you find anyone else in the company to accompany you tomorrow?”

“But I really don’t want to stay in the hotel. I’m scared,” Icyln said, her eyes welled up with tears.

Lulu’s expression turned sour at Icyln’s look of innocence.” Ms. Icyln wants to find since I’m experienced?” Lulu asked with a look of concern, as if she really wanted to help Icyln.

Icyln’s expression stiffened, caught in a difficult position.

Whether she accepted or rejected Lulu’s assistance, she could not get her way anymore. Her intent was to be in touch with Spencer. If she really found a new place to stay, she wanted to invite Spencer over. She had never imagined that things would turn out as they were now. Not to mention, she never expected Lulu to offer her help, reckoning Lulu’s kindness.

“Aren’t you in a hurry to find a place to stay? Or you just don’t need help anymore?” Lulu inquired again, seemingly confused at Icyln’s expression and silence.

“Oh, honestly, it’s not that urgent,” Icyln said while gritting her teeth, giving a fake smile. “Since Preston doesn’t have the time today, I’ll find someone else to help tomorrow at the company. There’s no need to trouble you, Lulu.”

“In that case, do as you wished,” Lulu smiled and showed respect for Icyln’s decision.

Icyln felt a surge of suppressed anger. She was caught in a predicament, unable to advance or retreat.
