Chapter 2481

Jared’s gaze darkened, and his kiss became firmer and more aggressive.

Meanwhile, June was all worn out after Samuel sent her back to her apartment.

While pouring a glass of water, Samuel turned his head to find June already collapsed on the carpet, desperately crawling to get on the couch. She failed multiple times, always sliding back down to the ground.

Putting the glass, Samuel went to June’s side and helped her get onto the sofa.

June then made a gagging noise. Her face turned an ugly shade and her cheeks puffed up.

“Hold up!” Samuel cried. He rushed to grab the trash can, but it was already too late.

With a retching sound, June threw up. Her puke was everywhere-on the carpet, the couch, her clothes, and even on Samuel.

Looking at the mess around him, Samuel fumed. “June, I swear I’ll never let you drink again.”

Frustration aside, Samuel had no choice but to start cleaning up the mess.

The next day, the sun shone brightly. Nicole arrived at the company, looking like she usually did, but Lulu seemed a little out of sorts.

“Didn’t you sleep well last night?” Nicole asked. It was common for people to get a good night’s sleep after getting drunk.

“I slept well. It’s just a headache, probably a hangover,” Lulu replied, rubbing her temples.

Lulu could not recall what happened last night, but she saw Spencer when she woke up. So she instantly knew Spencer took care of her last night. Spencer told her that she had fallen asleep on the way home and stayed asleep until morning.

“Do you want to go back and rest?” Nicole asked, concerned for her friend.

“I’m fine. There’s no need to rest.” Lulu shook her head and perked up.

Nicole did not press the matter after seeing Lulu’s response.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK.

The secretary’s voice sounded, “Ms. Riddle, a person named Mr. Lawrence wants to see you.”

“Lawrence?” Nicole was surprised. How did Lawrence find his way here?

“Should I let him in?” the secretary asked when Nicole did not reply.

“Let him in,” Nicole instructed.

The secretary nodded and left.

After a moment, someone knocked on the door.

“Come in,” Nicole replied.

Lawrence entered with a smile. “Are you getting used to it over here?”

“Yeah, I’m fine,” Nicole reassured. “Why the sudden visit? Is there something wrong?”

“Oh, there’s nothing wrong. I was passing by, so I figured I’d visit you,” Lawrence said while approaching Nicole.

Nicole got up and gestured to the couch. “Come, have a seat.”

They both sat on the couch, and Lulu served them coffee before leaving.

“I didn’t expect you to come here. Are you planning to stay at DillCorp from now on?” Lawrence guessed.

“No, it’s just a temporary thing. After all, DillCorp isn’t stable yet,” Nicole explained briefly, not revealing too much.

Lawrence chuckled and casually glanced around Nicole’s office. His gaze lingered briefly on a white pill bottle before shifting away.

Nicole’s pupils constricted slightly. This was the bottle which Martin had switched the medication for her.

Lawrence did not know about it, so he must be here to check if Nicole was taking her medication. Was he testing her?
