Chapter 2704

As the saying went, “The best defense is a good offense.” This meant that they should strike back while kiboshing Harvey’s tricks successfully.

Lulu’s eyes widened. “So, can we really do that?”

Although this idea was a rather ridiculous one, it would be great if they could seize the entirety of Ellison Group.

Nicole smiled when she saw that Lulu finally understood what she was thinking.

“We don’t have the power to do so right now, and I don’t have the intention to pull that off anyway.”

“Oh, what do you want to do, then?” Lulu raised an eyebrow in puzzlement.

‘Wasn’t that what Nicole meant just now? Did I misunderstand her or something?’ “I mean, even if we do end up seizing a large percentage of Ellison Group’s shares, we should just return them to Mr.

Ellison. I don’t want them.”

All she wanted to do was to teach Harvey a lesson, not wrest the entirety of Ellison Group for herself.

She just wanted to get Harvey off her back, and permanently if possible. After all, with Thomas still present there, she could not possibly do something so cold-blooded.

“Oh, I see!” Lulu smiled triumphantly. ‘Don’t worry. You can leave it to me.”

As that was the scope of her task, she knew what to do.

Nicole smiled as she saw how excited Lulu was. “In that case, I’ll wait for your good news.”

“Don’t worry, I’m currently well aware of everything that’s going on while our enemy is still in the dark.

Harvey hasn’t put his guard up against me yet.’ Lulu shrugged.

Harvey underestimating her meant that she could operate right under his nose.

“Do as you see fit. If you need anything, come and see me,” Nicole said.

“Sure.” Lulu smiled. “After all, I have the backing of someone who shouldn’t be reckoned with.”

Nicole shook her head and smiled before she picked her documents up and went right back to work.

Upon seeing this, Lulu quietly left the office and dealt with her own share of work.

Now that she was back, Nicole could get her to deal with everything related to Harvey. She had assigned nothing else for Lulu to deal with, so the latter need only devote herself to it and do her level best.

Time flew by, and before long, it was already noon.

With that, Nicole and Lulu went to one of the restaurants to have lunch.

“I heard the new dishes here are really good, and many people have come here just because of the hype.” Lulu introduced the restaurant to Nicole.

Then, they proceeded to order all the new dishes as they wanted to try them.

“By the looks of it, work is going smoothly, right?” Nicole teased Lulu when she saw the continuous string of smiles on her face.

“It’s alright.” Lulu said, before a proud grin crossed her face.” However, we might have to wait a couple more days to see the results.”

“Oh, there’s no rush.” Nicole passed her a glass of water.” Here, have some water first.”

Lulu took a sip from the glass and looked around at random. A frown crossed her face at once when she spotted a particular, familiar figure.

‘Speak of the devil. How could we meet him here?’ she wondered.

Clearly, Harvey had also seen them, and that was when he walked over to greet them. “What a coincidence.”

“Whether it’s a coincidence or not, no one knows.” Lulu pursed her lips in a show of incredulity and disbelief.

After looking at Lulu, Harvey turned his gaze to Nicole. “I didn’t expect that you’d come here for a meal.”

“Well, am I not allowed to?” Nicole asked in confusion.

“Of course, you can. I just think we’re fated to meet here,” Harvey said, and proceeded to take a seat at their table.

Upon seeing that, Nicole narrowed her eyes in an instant, while Lulu followed up with a grimace. “Mr.

Ellison? This isn’t polite.”

“I don’t think we are just business partners. We should also be considered friends.” Harvey looked at Nicole.

I beg to differ,” Nicole replied coldly.
