Chapter 2296

“Hold up.” With a playful look, Nicole asked, “Are you avoiding Spencer?”

‘Just last night Spencer mentioned he was unable to reach Lulu and today he left right after work ended. It’s obvious something happened between the two of them,’ Nicole thought to herself.

“Not really.” Lulu scratched her head in embarrassment.

“Is it a yes or a no?” Nicole countered. She noticed how distressed Spencer was when he was unable to contact Lulu out of the blue, so she wanted to know what happened.

“I’m avoiding him but it’s not because we fought or anything. It’s just that I need some space for myself to think straight,” Lulu said truthfully.

Nicole frowned at Lulu.

“Alright, since you want space, I’ll leave you be.” Then she smiled, respecting her friend’s views.

“Thank you.” Lulu gave a warm smile before waving and leaving the office.

Nicole packed up her things and also left the office shortly after.

When Nicole reached the entrance of the building, she saw Spencer was standing there.

‘I guess I can only tell him the truth.’

Nicole walked up to him. “Lulu already left.”

“Left? Why didn’t I see her?” Spencer’s eyes widened. He completely missed Lulu leaving the office!

Nicole shrugged. ‘Of course he didn’t see her. She was hiding from him.’

“Oh.” Spencer looked helpless and lost.

Nicole watched as Spencer turned around to leave. “Where are you going?” she asked casually.

“I’m going to go to see if she’s at home.”

Nicole looked at Spencer’s vulnerable expression and Spencer immediately became alert. “Do you know something?”

Nicole shook her head. “I don’t know the details, but she said she wanted time alone to think things through.”

‘Since Lulu wants space, I think it’s best that Spencer stop, just until Lulu figures things out. Then they can meet up and talk.’

Spencer frowned slightly, but he nodded. “I see…”

‘If this is what she wants, I’ll give her space. I hope she doesn’t take too long to think…’

“Okay. I’m going to head over to Grandpa’s place. Want to tag along?” Nicole offered.

“Grandpa’s place?” Spencer’s eyes filled with concern.

“It’s nothing.” Nicole brushed him off. She did not want to burden Spencer with the company’s affairs.

“Since it’s nothing, I guess you can go with Jared. I’ll sit this one out.”

Nicole nodded. “I’ll get going now.”

“Bye!”

Spencer watched as Nicole hopped into the car and left. Then he heaved a huge sigh. He climbed into his own car and left as well.

In the car, Nicole looked up at Jared and asked, “Is the Iris issue resolved?”

Nicole knew that the date of Iris’ case was inching closer to a close, so she wanted to pry for some answers.

“Yeah, she admitted to everything. The legal procedures will be carried out accordingly.”

Jared did not care what the process was. Once the case ended, it would no longer bother them as Iris would be paying the price for what she did.
