Chapter 2482


    “I’m meeting with a client nearby, around noon. The meeting should be quick. How about having lunch


    together?” Lawrence suggested, not noticing Nicole’s change in demeanor.


    Nicole frowned and rejected, “I’m afraid not today. I have things to take care of. Maybe next time.”


    Disappointed, Lawrence said, “Alright then, I’ll ask you out another day.”


    “Sure thing,” Nicole agreed with a faint smile.


    “Speaking of which, it’s been a while since Ist saw Nn and Lana. Why don’t we take them out for a


    day when


    they’re free?” Lawrence tried.


    Nicole bit her lip and hesitated to refuse directly. So she replied, “I’ll check with them first.”


    “Fine by me. Let me know when you’ve set a date.” Lawrence smiled, thinking Nicole was epting his


    invitation.


    “Yeah.” Nicole faked a smile and remained silent. Her current feelings toward Lawrence were


    complicated, and she was unsure of how to approach Lawrence. She could only wait for the final


    results of the investigation. She did not even know which oue she hoped to see. Lawrence had


    indeed saved her life before. He had always been very caring and helped her and her kids. However,


    the things


    Lawrence was doing to her now made her hesitate.


    “Hey, Nicole?” Lawrence called out softly, noticing her silence.


    Nicole grounded her teeth lightly. When she looked back at Lawrence, her expression was neutralized.


    “What’s the matter?”


    “It’s nothing,” Lawrence said as he got up. “I’ll get going now.”


    Nicole stood up to see him off.

    After Lawrence left, Lulu entered her office. “He’s gone?”


    “Yeah.” Nicole sat down in her seat.


    “What was he here for? Don’t tell me he’s here to monitor you taking your medication?” Lulu rolled her


    eyes. Spying on Nicole would not help, as they changed the medications.


    That was why Nicole took the pill bottle with her. It was to let Lawrence notice it.


    “Thank God we’re all set and changed the medication.” Lulu sighed. “But how long do we have to keep


    this up?”


    When will this finallye to an end?


    “There’ll be an oue eventually,” Nicole said meaningfully, furrowing her eyebrows.


    “Ugh…” Lulu let out a long sigh, feeling pity for her friend. She wanted to say something but held back.


    Seeming to understand Lulu’s thoughts, Nicole said, “Don’t worry. I’ll ept any oues thate


    our way.”


    Even if the results were not in their favor, she would still ept it.


    Meanwhile, Lawrence left DillCorp.


    In the car waiting for him, Ian immediately greeted him. “Mr. Royce. How’s it going?”


    Lawrence gently nodded his head and entered the vehicle. Ian instantly understood that Nicole was still


    taking the medication Hanwick prepared.


    After getting in the car, Ian whispered, “Did Ms. Riddle notice anything?”


    “She might’ve.” Lawrence’s gaze darkened slightly. He felt that Nicole had not noticed anything, but


    there was still an unusual feeling deep down inside him. He felt a strange inexplicable distance growing


    between them. A distance that could not be bridged.


    Lawrence’s heart pained. His eyebrows pinched together.
