Chapter 2880


    “That’s a good idea.” Preston and Gary nodded right away.


    After they had conducted a few more rounds of discussion, Preston left the headquarters of Finley Group


    and made his way to Riddle Corporation. Upon arrival, he knocked on Nicole’s door and entered her


    office.


    Seeing that it was Preston, Nicole widened her eyes in surprise. “Why are you here? You can’t be here to


    ask for a free lunch, right?”


    After all, it was almost lunch hour.


    “There are some issues, so I thought ofing over to inform you about them.”


    Preston began, and proceeded to exin the oue of his discussion with Ryder and Gary.


    Nicole nodded. “Initially, I had this idea too, but it’s above my paygrade. I was worried we’d alert them, so


    I decided to forgo the idea.” “Since we’re the ones doing it, they won’t realize a thing.” Preston exined.


    At the end of the day, their adversaries had their eyes on nobody but Nicole.


    They would not discover anything if they did not look hard enough.


    After giving it some thought, Nicole nodded. “You may proceed as you guys have discussed. Just give it


    a shot, but remember this. You must keep your wits about you.” “Don’t worry, we know what the situation


    is like. If we can’t pull it off, well give up.” Preston replied.


    “Alright,” Nicole said.


    She knew that Preston and the Finley Brothers were rational and pragmatic individuals, connoting that


    they should be able to navigate around the issue with little hups along the way.


    It was noon by the time the duo in the office were done with their little discussion, so Nicole invited


    Preston to stay for lunch.


    Coincidentally, Lulu had just entered the office as well, so the three of them went out together. It did not


    take them long to find a restaurant that was to their liking, so they pulled up, sat down, and ordered their


    meals as soon as they did.


    “Why did you visit our office today?” Lulu asked Preston out of curiosity.


    “I was just passing by, so I decided to swing by for a little visit.” Preston replied, not wanting to divulge to


    Lulu the true purpose of his visit.


    Lulu did not think much about his exnation, as she was simply looking for an opportunity to tease him


    again, “I see. I thought you had your eyes on someone in our office.”


    Visibly annoyed, Preston rolled his eyes at her. “Aren’t there women in my office too?” ‘This is just


    ridiculous! Must Ie all the way to Nicole’s office for that?


    Gosh!’ he thought.


    “So, you have your eyes on someone in your office?” Lulu’s eyes widened and she smirked, her curiosity


    growing stronger by the minute.


    Taken aback by Lulu’s continued prodding, he argued, “Hold up. Did I say that?”


    What he meant to say was, ‘Do I have to like someone to visit a certain ce?’ “Hehe.” Luluughed, as


    she was just messing around, unlike Preston, who had taken it seriously.

    “How’s your businessing along?” Nicole casually asked.


    After shing her a confident smile, he replied, “Everything’s fine. We’re progressing just fine.”


    Hearing thating from Preston gave her a sense of relief. “That’s good.”


    “Don’t worry. I’m doing well now. I’ll be able to handle whatever tasks you throw at me without sacrificing


    time dedicated to the development of thepany,”


    Preston replied, before giving her a beaming smile.


    Nicole returned his smile without offering any furthermentary. She would be happy as long as the


    tasks she had assigned him did not affect thepany.


    “Oh, right. I got wind that Jared returned to Johnston Group today. Was there something important for


    him to do? I’m just wondering if it’s alright for him to show up at a time like this.” Preston asked out of


    worry.


    Jared’s appearance at Emery’s wedding was not known to many, so it was safe to assume that things


    were still under his control. If he paid a sudden visit to hispany, however, it would be difficult for him


    to escape being noticed by an employee or a member of the public.


    “There is indeed something going on. But it’s fine. He did use the main entrance, so I don’t think anyone


    saw him.” Nicole exined.


    “That’s good.” Preston sighed in relief.


    The moment the waiter had served them their orders, the three of them dug in and chatted away. After


    they were done with their meals, they got up and left the restaurant, with Preston heading back to his


    company and the duo of Nicole and Lulu returning to Riddle Corporation.


    “There hasn’t been any movement on Damien’s end. Do you think he’s waiting for something or


    someone?” Lulu asked, hazarding a guess.
