Chapter 2056


    In a helpless tone, Lawrence said, "Interster is an internationalpany, and its main market isn''t


    here. Besides, I''m new here, so they want a strong localpany from the capital to be involved. It''s


    something like a guarantee."


    Nicole nodded upon hearing this. "They have a point."


    She bit her lip and pondered for a moment. "Ask Ian to send me the details. I''ll talk with my brothers


    and give you an answer after we review it."


    "Okay." Lawrence smiled and continued, "I thought you would agree right away."


    After all, Interster International was really good. Besides, Lawrence found that it really suited the


    development of the Riddle Company.


    "I really don''t know much about business, so I''m actually relying on my instincts for everything. That''s


    why I still prefer to discuss things with my brothers when ites to important decisions." Nicole did


    not hide anything from Lawrence.


    Lawrence shook his head and sighed. "Nicole, even though you haven''t been back for long, you''ve


    changed."


    "Changed? Really?" Nicole furrowed her eyebrows as she did not notice it herself.


    "You were always alone when you were on the ind, not interacting with people or making friends.


    You just focused on taking care of Nn and Lana. Even when ites to making decisions, you


    relied entirely on your instincts and rarely consulted with others," said Lawrence. No one could decide


    anything for her, including him.


    "I had to be cautious on the ind. My enemies coulde after me, so I obviously had my guard up


    against everyone," Nicole replied calmly. She lived like a recluse during that time, but it was just a form


    of self-protection.


    "What about now? You''re even closer to your enemies here. You could bump into them any time, not


    knowing that they''re your enemies." It was shocking that Nicole would trust the people around her in


    such a dangerous environment.


    "I have a family now, after all. I have my parents and my brothers. I guess I feel a bit more secure, so I


    can rx a little." Nicole shrugged, thinking that it was probably the case.


    "If I knew that you''d be like this after reuniting with your family, I would''ve taken you back here


    back then." Lawrence smiled.


    Nicole tilted her head ever so slightly. "Why do you say that? You knew my family?"


    Lawrence''s gaze turned dark for a second. It was a slip of the tongue.


    He looked carefully at Nicole before saying calmly, "I didn''t know, but I would''ve helped you find them."


    He could not admit the fact that he did not bring her back even though he knew who her family was,


    even if it was for her and her children''s safety.


    She despised deceit, especially sensitive to the matter because of her amnesia. If she found out that


    Lawrence had lied to her, she might not ever forgive him.


    Noticing Lawrence''s hesitation, Nicole squinted. It seemed slightly unnatural. She tried studying him,


    but she did not discover anything. Besides, he was right. If she needed help finding her family, he


    would definitely have helped her.


    She was the one who decided not toe back for the sake of her children''s safety. She was worried


    that her enemies might have their eyes on her children.


    "I still feel pretty lucky to have found my family." Nicole''s gaze turned gentle.

    Lawrence had a conflicted look on his face. When Nicole was willing to share her thoughts with him, it


    made him feel like they were back on the ind. But he was fully aware that nothing was the same


    anymore, ever since they came back here.


    "Let''s not talk about this anymore. I''ll contact you once I''ve made a decision about Interster


    International." Nicole chuckled as she realized that she had shared too much personal information


    when they were initially talking about work.


    Lawrence responded, "Sure, I''ll wait for your response then."


    "It''s a good project. If the coboration is sessful, I''ll treat you to a meal as a token of appreciation."


    Nicole smiled as she knew that Lawrence was helping her.


    After all, Interster International had never specifically requested to work with the Riddle Corporation.


    There were many capable localpanies in San Joto as well.
