Chapter 2478

“Alright, let’s meet there after work,” Nicole said.

“Sounds good. I’ll tell Spencer he doesn’t have to pick me up, ” Lulu replied. She then sent Spencer a quick message.

Similarly, Nicole informed Jared she would be having pizza with June and Lulu after work and suggested he go home first.

“Alright, I need to get going. See you later,” Lulu said.

As she stood up and left Nicole’s office, Nicole went back to her work.

When it was time to leave, Nicole and Lulu left DillCorp, caught a cab, and headed to the Royal Creek Institute.

“You know, the three of us haven’t hung out there in about five years,” Lulu said. “After you went missing, Nicole, it was just June and me visiting from time to time.”

“It’s hard to believe it’s been five years.” Nicole sighed. ‘So much has changed, but at least we’re still best friends.’

When they arrived at the restaurant, June was already there, motioning for them to join her. “Come sit here!”

“You’re early,” Lulu said, guiding Nicole to sit down.

“I live closer,” June replied, handing them menus. “Order whatever you like. I’ve got it!”

Lulu chuckled. “Well, in that case, I’m not holding back.”

“Enjoy!” June said with a playful wave of her hand.

After ordering, June added some beers to the list. “We should celebrate tonight! We’re all getting married soon, after all.”

Nicole laughed. “Sounds like you think marriage means we won’t be free anymore.”

“We’re getting hitched. Why not have some fun tonight?” June said, sticking out her tongue.

Soon, their food and drinks were on the table. “Cheers to our final single days!” June said, raising her glass. Nicole and Lulu joined the toast, clinking glasses and sipping their drinks.

While pouring more drinks, June said, “Let’s have a blast tonight.”

“You’re acting a bit off,” Lulu teased. “Getting cold feet about the wedding?”

“It’s just tough getting both of you out for dinner with your schedules!” June laughed. “So, let’s enjoy tonight to the fullest.”

Lulu teased again, ”1 thought you were having second thoughts.”

June shot her a playful glare. “If you aren’t, why should I?”

Nicole smiled softly, watching Lulu and June’s playful exchange. Memories of their school days, when they did everything together, filled her thoughts. It seemed like only yesterday they were inseparable. And now, these close friends would soon be her sisters-in-law.
