Chapter 1990


    "Don''t worry, Dad," Nicole reassured Daniel, knowing he was concerned about her.


    "Come on. I''ll take you to your office," Sean said while guiding Nicole to her office. "We kept this ce


    for you ever since the setup."


    They never expected this room to be retained for five years as they did not even know if Nicole would


    ever return.


    Nicole felt a lump rise in her throat, understanding Sean''s meaning. This ce was empty for five


    years, yet immacte in appearance.novelebook There was probably someone who cleaned it


    every day.


    "Sean, I-I..." Nicole was at a loss for words, feeling sorrowful. If she had known the whole situation, she


    would havee back earlier, not letting her family suffer five years of torment.


    Sean smiled gently. "You''re back, and that''s all that matters."


    Three knocks sounded on the door.


    The secretary''s voice came through. "Mr. Riddle, the documents are here."


    "Bring them in," Sean ordered.


    The secretary came in, put the documents on the table, and left.


    Sean briefly exined the content of the documents and left after seeing Nicole already engrossed in


    reading. Strangely, although Nicole did not understand business, these documents were not hard to


    comprehend.


    Before she knew it, it was evening time. Nicole was deeply engrossed in the documents when her


    phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller ID, she answered, "Yes, Leo?"


    "Nicole, are you not going to get off work?" Leo''s voice sounded.


    Surprise shed in her eyes. "Pardon?"


    ''How did he know I was in my office and hadn''t finished work yet?'' Nicole wondered.


    "I''m at the entrance of yourpany. Let''s have dinner together," Leo said directly.


    Nicole was a little hesitant. "Leo, I''m getting off work, but..."


    Nicole wanted to tell that she had promised to get off work with her dad, but Leo persisted. "In that


    case, I''ll wait for you downstairs. I have something to tell you."

    Nicole could only agree to his request. "Alright then."


    Nicole had a feeling that she would not be able to leave with Daniel, so she informed him and left her


    office. Downstairs, Leo was waiting for her.


    Nicole could not help but feel puzzled. "How did you know I was here?"


    It was ast-minute decision that Nicole made toe to the headquarters. She wondered how Leo


    found out she was here.


    "Isn''t it weird if I didn''t know?" Leo replied with a yful tone, posing a counter-question.


    With that, Nicole shrugged her shoulders. Leo even knew that she would be the new chairman of


    Riddle Corporation. It was not surprising that he knew she would be here.


    Without further hesitance, she asked Leo, "You said you had something to tell me. What is it?"


    "It''s going to be time for dinner. Let''s talk over a meal," Leo suggested, opening the car door like a


    gentleman and waiting for Nicole to get in.


    Knowing Leo would not bother her without a good reason, Nicole got into the car. After all, she had


    already informed her father, so her family would not be worried about her.
