Chapter 1991


    Nicole and Leo soon arrived at a Western restaurant. Leo chose an inconspicuous but well-positioned


    table ording to Nicole''s preferences, and sat down with her.


    Nicole was not surprised that Leo knew what she preferred. She sat down and ordered their meal.


    While waiting for their meal, Nicole asked again, "So, what is it?"


    "If I said I''m here to seek a coboration with Riddle Corporation''s chairman, would you be interested?"


    Leo said with a hint of a smile.


    "Coboration?!" Nicole was stunned. She never expected Leo to find her for this matter. Although she


    had not officially taken over thepany, she knew the chairman Leo meant was her. Leo was hoping


    to coborate with Riddle Corporation.


    Seeing that Nicole was too stunned to speak, Leo smirked. He handed her a document, saying, "This is


    the letter of intent of coboration. Take it back and have a look. I''ll wait for your reply."


    "Alright." Nicole took the document. When it came to business, she knew Riddle Corporation needed


    better project coborations. Leo was reliable, so she would not worry about the project. Her job now


    was to check the suitability of the project for Riddle Corporation. If suitable, they could definitely


    coborate.


    Leo secretly breathed a sigh of relief upon Nicole''s agreement. He was worried Nicole would reject


    him.


    "Your food is served." The waiter came over and put their dinner on the table.


    "Let''s eat." Leo gestured to the food.


    Nicoleplied and chatted with Leo. "Well, aren''t you quick to take action? I just arrived here, and


    now I have to start a project."


    That was in line with Leo''s usual speed demon self. It was also evident that he had made adequate


    preparations before showing up.


    "You''re not slow either," Leo replied with a hint of depression. If he was slow to action, Jared might


    have stolen a march on him.


    It had just been a few days since Nicole returned to the country. But, Leo could clearly sense that she


    had already embraced everything here, even without her memories. This change made him feel


    perturbed. He wanted to get closer to her, and not as a friend.


    Nicole misunderstood Leo''s meaning, thinking he was just talking about the time she took to take over


    Riddle Corporation. Nicole replied helplessly, "It''s my responsibility after all. I just feel a great deal of


    pressure."


    Not only did Nicole not have any knowledge of the past, but she was alsopletely clueless about


    business. She did not know whether it was a blessing or a curse to take over Riddle Corporation, but


    she knew she had no way back.

    "Don''t worry. I''ll help you." Sensing her stress, Leoforted her.


    "No need to trouble yourself, Mr. Royce. I''ll naturally assist my wife," a displeased voice interrupted,


    causing Nicole to feel a chilling aura surround her.


    "Jared?! What are you doing here?" Nicole eximed in surprise at Jared''s sudden appearance.


    "I wanted to stay at home, waiting for you," Jared said, but it seemed like it was impossible.


    Jared had gotten off work and returned to the Riddle family manor. However, he came home to find


    infuriating news from Daniel that Nicole went out to have a meal with Lawrence. Jared almost burst into


    fury as he remembered how Nicole had asked him not to pick her up from work but now, she had gone


    out to dinner with Lawrence.


    After hearing his poignant remark, Nicole unintentionally felt guilty and said, "I was discussing some


    matters with Leo."
