Chapter 2248

After a moment of hesitation, Nicole solemnly agreed,” Alright, I know what to do.”

Nicole was still in the mist on why Steve was being such a worry wart but knowing that he did indeed look out for her, she had promised him just so that he could be at ease.

“Just be alert, okay?” Steve reminded, knowing that he and Sean were not going to give up on their investigation easily.

Nicole nodded and changed the subject, “Okay, is there anything else?”

“Yeah, here.’ Steve handed a document over to Nicole.” Sean has gotten his hands on some info about Everette. It seems that he has been getting closer to this unknown figure as of recent. We’ve yet to find out who.”

Nicole’s eyes flickered back and forth from the document, after which she grabbed it. “Okay.”

“Sean has gotten people to keep an eye on him. I think you should be the one to see this first. If you have any ideas, you can come to Sean and me,” he reminded.

“Okay.” Nicole nodded in agreement.

Then, after seeing him off, she returned to her office.

Nicole sauntered over to her desk for a seat before opening the document, its pages filled to the brim with information gathered during investigation on Everett. Seeing them, her eyes narrowed.

‘It seems that he disappears once every few days. Nobody knows where he had gone or would go.

Everett has not shown up for the past few days either. What is he up to that he has to be so secretive?

And with who?’

Nicole suddenly remembered that it was almost time for Mr. Bennett to disclose his decision, ‘I bet Everett is sitting on the edge of his seat. I’ll give it to her if she can sit still after the announcement.’

Nicole stashed the document away as her eyes darkened.’ I’d like to see who this figure together with Everett is.’

The next day, the news had spread around like wildfire.

“What’s happening? Yesterday, NandoCorp announced that they are releasing a Beta version, and now, Riddle Corporation is claiming that they have released a joint product today!”

“It seems that NandoCorp is being crushed by Riddle Corporation.”

“One with a beta and another with a new product. These two are not from the same league to begin with.”

People were buzzing with chatter, comparing the latest products of the two companies.

Meanwhile, Nicole was sitting at her desk as she read the news in real time.

“Nicole, I think Everett must be really pissed this time!” Lulu exclaimed in triumph.

‘This ought to set them straight for stealing our projects.’ Nicole smiled without responding to Lulu.

‘I don’t want to know or care if he’s fuming mad. But what I do know is that he has shown his true colors.’ Nicole’s eyes narrowed as she delivered a message Sean to remind him that they needed to employ extra measures against Everett.

Sean replied in a split second, telling Nicole that he would provide her with the updates soon.

A faint smile crossed her face as she placed her phone away. ‘The news should come soon. This is the calm before the storm.’

“Nicole, are you hiding something from me?” Lulu asked in a low voice upon noting Nicole’s expression.

Nicole raised her eyebrows, and with a smirk, she asked,” How do you know?” “I know you inside and out. I’m guessing this person is going to be unfortunate,” Lulu declared.
