Chapter 2061
After making up her mind, Nicole got up and headed downstairs. Soon, she reached the lobby.
"Nicole!" Lulu and June waved their hands enthusiastically when they spotted Nicole.
"Lulu! June!" When she reached the girls, Nicole smiled. "Since it''s lunch time, let''s have lunch
together."
"Sure! We were thinking of treating you to a meal too." It was an opportunity for them to get together as
well. It had been five years. There had not been any news about Nicole for five years and the girls were
worried sick.
Nicole brought them to a restaurant near the office building. They found a table somewhat hidden from
view and sat down.
After they had ordered, Lulu asked impatiently, "Nicole, what have you been through in the past five
years? Why didn''t you return for so long?"
"I ran into some problems." Nicole thought twice and still decided not to tell Lulu and June the truth.
Nicole did not know how to break the news to the two girls. She was not sure if they could ept the
things which she would say. Therefore, she decided to keep it a secret.
"What kind of problem?" June could tell that Nicole was struggling to say what she wanted. So, June
lowered her volume a little.
"The Riddle family had always been saying that you were in danger, so Jared hid you to protect you."
Lulu spected based on the clues she knew. Then, she seemed to recall something. There was a
huge change to her expression. "You met a bad guy!"
On top of that, it must be one that was difficult to deal with. Otherwise, why would Nicole hide for five
years and only decide to return now?
"You could say so." Nicole followed suit and agreed to Lulu''s guess. Although it did not really fit the
exact situation, the cause was simr.
"Then, are you safe now?" Lulu scanned their surroundings subconsciously, as if there could be bad
people around them.
Nicole could not help butugh at the way Lulu was acting. Nicole reassured her, "Yeah, I''m safe now."
Although Nicole still had enemies at San Joto, she still considered herself safe at that moment.
"That''s great." Lulu heaved an obvious sigh of relief.
June''s pale face also regained some color. She could not help but remind Nicole, "Although it might
seem like everything is fine at the moment, prevention is better than cure. It''s best for you to be careful
whenever you''re out."
"Don''t worry. I can take care of myself," Nicole replied happily. Deep down, she felt touched. Although
she could not remember them, they gave her a sense of kindness andfort.
Soon, the food was served. All three of them began to enjoy their food while chatting.
After Nicole had briefly talked about her own problems, she began to ask about Lulu and June''s
updates.

"June''s doing alright. I''m the unlucky one." Luluined to Nicole all about her challenges at work
and her miserable life at the moment.
"Don''t bother. I''ve already advised her to quit her job and develop elsewhere a long time ago. But she
doesn''t listen. And now, she''sining that she''s being bullied by her manager," June said while
shaking her head.
"It''s easy for you to say! It isn''t easy to find such a high-paying job." Lulu sighed. She wanted to switch
jobs too, but there was no way she could quit just like that.
"You want to switch jobs?" Nicole raised her eyebrow slightly as she questioned Lulu.
Lulu sighed, rested her head on the table and said, "It''s easy to talk about it, but it''s difficult to put it into
action. After all, reality is too harsh."
"If your life is so miserable, doesn''t my brother care about that?" Nicole frowned. ''That''s too much!''
The expression on Lulu''s face changed instantly, and she warned Nicole in a stern voice, "You can''t tell
Spencer!"
Lulu was too embarrassed to talk about such things. Spencer was already a professional violinist, and
yet Lulu had not achieved anything. Therefore, she wanted to make herself into someone worthy of
Spencer through her own efforts.
