Chapter 2983


    After refreshing herself, Nicole made her way to the hotel''s breakfast area. She chose a light yet


    nourishing meal and was on her way back to her room when she suddenly sensed someone''s


    presence. Reacting swiftly, she stopped, narrowly avoiding a collision and a potential breakfast


    disaster.


    Nicole''s gazended on the man before her as she stepped back, her eyes narrowing ever so slightly.


    "Sorry, I didn''t see you there. I almost bumped into you," the man offered an apology.


    Nicole gave him a brief, indifferent nce and shook her head, signaling that it was no big deal. She


    then maneuvered around him with her tray, gracefully exiting the space.


    The man watched Nicole leave, a shadow of intrigue passing over his eyes. He subtly slipped a button-


    like item into his pocket and resumed selecting his breakfast, masking any hint of the earlier incident.

    Meanwhile, Nicole lingered near the restaurant''s entrance, discreetly keeping an eye on the man. She


    had caught him putting something into his own pocket, and though its nature was uncertain, she was


    sure it was meant for her - possibly something dangerous, or a tracking device.


    ''What was that about? Why was he trying to nt something on me?'' she thought, wary.


    Deciding it was best to retreat, Nicole headed back to her room with her breakfast in tow.


    Upon entering, she found Jared already awake. Noting the tray in her hands, he realized she had


    fetched breakfast." You could have eaten downstairs," he remarked gently.


    Nicole offered a light smile. "I woke up early and wanted to explore a bit. Besides, I find having


    breakfast in our room more pleasant."


    They settled near the couch, with Nicole cing the tray on the coffee table. Sharing a warm smile,


    they began their meal.


    "The food here is quite good," Nicolemented contentedly.


    "This hotel is one of the most renowned in this area..." Jared started to fill her in on some details about


    their location.


    Nicole nodded, chiming in as Jared spoke. They wrapped up their breakfast in no time.


    Nicole grinned, content. "Staying here is super convenient."


    "They''ve got everything covered - food, a ce to crash, transportation. No need to stress about a


    thing," she added.


    "Curious, though. How''s the security around here?" Nicole asked out of the blue.


    Jared squinted a bit. "Why the question?"


    "Back in the restaurant..." Nicole cautiously recounted the encounter.


    Jared thought it over. "Could it be someone from the Eastern Falcon?"


    "That''s what I was thinking," Nicole replied, a cold smile on her face. "They seem eager to make a


    move."


    "When we head outter, let Adolph tag along," Jared suggested, histone serious.


    "Doesn''t he have other stuff to do?" Nicole frowned, not wanting to disrupt their ns for her sake.


    Considering the man at the restaurant didn''t directly attack her, she figured there might be some


    hesitation, so immediate danger seemed unlikely.


    But Jared insisted, "Others can handle the tasks."


    After all, nothing topped the priority of keeping her safe.


    "Fine," Nicole agreed, not wanting to cause Jared any extra worry.


    Ready to roll, Nicole left the hotel with some papers in hand.


    Adolph was already there, waiting. Spotting Nicole, he popped the car door open. "Good morning, Mrs.


    Johnston."
