Chapter 2223

For all these years, Snow had remained single while the people she longed to marry passed her by.

Moreover, the person she liked was even more dashing than he used to be. If she could rekindle their relationship, no one would dare look down on her anymore.

With these thoughts, a triumphant smile spread across Snow’s face. She even started to envision a brighter future. Gritting her teeth, Snow went back to her usual innocent and harmless demeanor. She pleaded softly, “I can learn.”

Seeing that Snow had made up her mind, Dillion hesitated but agreed, “Alright then.”

Dillion had no choice since his only son was not interested in the company and spent all his days hacking. Dillion needed someone reliable to help him now. Since his daughter was willing to learn, it was better than relying on outsiders.

Snow nodded with delight. “Thanks, Dad!”

“When you’re ready, come report for work. I’ll arrange an assistant for you,” Dillion said. After all, Snow did not have much experience in the working world, so she would need someone capable of assisting her.

Snow nodded firmly and promised, “I’ll try my best.”

“Alright then, run along.” Dillion waved his hand, gesturing for his daughter to leave.

Snow acknowledged it with a nod and left the office.

Once Snow was out of the office, her complacent smile immediately appeared. ‘Finally, it’s time to turn the tables. From now on, no one would dare look down on me. As for Nicole, her appearance was the sole reason my love life was ruined. She was the one who prevented me from getting married. I’ll make her pay.

‘I’ll take back everything that originally belongs to me. Nicole was never worthy of being my competition. Hmph, just wait, Nicole!’

As the sun set, Nicole left the building of Riddle Corporation.

“Nicole.”

Hearing a familiar voice, Nicole turned her gaze. “Lawrence? What brings you here?” she asked in surprise.

“I just finished signing a contract. I spotted you so I decided to come over.” Lawrence approached Nicole in large strides.

Nicole smiled. “Signing another contract, I see. Seems like Genesis Group is doing better than I imagined.”

“Fortunately.” Lawrence’s smile flashed a hint of unease. If Jared was not in the way, Genesis Group could have been doing even better. Lawrence then looked at the time. “Since I’m free, I’ll buy you dinner.”

Nicole hesitated. If Lawrence asked earlier, it would have been fine. However, Lawrence showed up by surprise, and Jared was coming over later. Nicole was having a headache at the thought of the two meeting.

Lawrence did not rush Nicole for an answer. He smiled at Nicole as if he was sure Nicole would accept his invitation.

In a sudden moment of silence, Nicole’s phone rang. Seeing Jared had called, the corner of Nicole’s lips twitched. She then answered the phone.

Jared’s voice came through, his tone serious. “Something’s up at the company. I had Max go over to pick you up and send you home. I’ll be working overtime today.”

“There’s no need for it. Let Max stay back and help you. I’ll…” After a slight pause, Nicole glanced at Lawrence and informed Jared truthfully, “I bumped into Lawrence. I’ll eat dinner with him before going back.”

“Nicole…” Jared’s voice carried a hint of wariness. He did not like Nicole having any interactions with Lawrence. At the same time, he understood it was impossible for them to not interact at all. So he was rather depressed and irritated.

“Nicole, why haven’t you left yet? Oh uh… Mr. Leo,” Lulu’s loud voice interrupted as she approached Nicole, but she faltered upon seeing Lawrence with her.

Nicole responded to Jared on the phone, “That’s it for now. You go ahead.”

After hanging up the call, Nicole asked Lulu, “I didn’t see you when I came out of the office and thought you’d left.”
