Chapter 3274
"Yes, Ms. Riddle." the secretary handed the mail to Nicole and then left the room. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Nicole looked at the familiar envelope and shook her head slightly, thinking, 'He has now learned to play mysterious, sending me express mails everytime.'
Upon opening it and seeing the contents, Nicole frowned slightly.
Unable to help herself, Nicole sent a message asking, [Where did you get this information?] [The information is accurate. Be prepared,] the person replied with a cautionary note but did not answer Nicole's question directly.
Sighing, Nicole responded, [Thanks.] [Take care,] the person cautioned Nicole.
With a slight smile, Nicole put away her phone and, after a moment of contemplation, made a call to Doretta.
"Nicole," Doretta sounded puzzled, "Is something wrong?" "Lawrence might make a move in the next few days. I hope you and Charlie can support me in capturing him this time," Nicole stated directly.
"I can help you, but..." Doretta hesitated before continuing, "Charlie went to Mecrounia. Mr. Johnston has given him a task."
Before leaving, Charlie had indeed instructed her to keep an eye on Lawrence and to protect Nicole as well.
"Charlie went to Mecrounia," Nicole muttered under her breath. She figured Jared must have sent Charlie to Lawrence's turf, likely having received some information and made arrangements accordingly.
"Nicole, do you know something?" Doretta probed, curious about Nicole's seemingly unsurprised reaction to Charlie's sudden departure.
Nicole responded, "Yes, I've received some information, which is why I was hoping you and Charlie could help." She was also worried because, although Patricia could protect her, focusing solely on her safety meant neglecting other tasks.
"I can handle it, leave it to me," Doretta assured cautiously, thinking that since she was the only one left in San Joto, she had to take on this responsibility.
"Alright, come see me after work, and we'll discuss the details," Nicole told Doretta.
"Okay," Doretta agreed.
After hanging up, Nicole bit her lip slightly, thinking, 'Charlie went to Mecrounia...'
As dusk approached and Nicole was just about to leave work, she suddenly received a call.
"Are you off work?" came Cindy's voice.
"I was just about to leave. What's up?" Nicole asked.
"Oh, Martin and I wanted to invite you guys for dinner. If you're free, could you come? Is that okay?" Cindy asked.
Nicole hesitated. She had arranged to meet with Doretta and probably couldn't meet Cindy and Martin.
Noticing Nicole's hesitation, Cindy asked, Do you have other plans?" "Something came up. Let's plan for another day, and I'll treat you then,” Nicole explained honestly.
She didn't want to disappoint Cindy and Martin, but the tasks she had to attend to were urgent, so she didn't want to delay.
"Okay. Call US when you're free," Cindy agreed.
"Mm, will do," Nicole said.
After hanging up, Nicole noticed that the company's staff had already left.
She bit her lip slightly, thinking, 'Doretta should be here by now.'
Sure enough, someone knocked on the door a moment later.
"Come in," Nicole called out.
Doretta opened the door and said, "I came up after seeing everyone else leave."
