Chapter 2998


    Looking out at the blue sky through the window, Lawrence''s eyes deepened in thought.


    Nicole had secured the design and development project with Apex Corp. With her capabilities, sess


    was almost certain. However, Nicole''s former identity meant that Zane would likely be the biggest


    beneficiary of this sess.


    This development could be a fatal blow to their opponents.


    Meanwhile, Nicole and Lulu arrived at the office in Riddle Corporation.


    "How''s everything going?" Nicole asked Lulu.


    "Oh, everything''s been running smoothly, no major issues," Lulu replied.


    "What about Patricia? How is she doing?" Nicole followed up-


    Lulu thought for a moment, "She''s been seeing Martin regrly, but it seems like there hasn''t been


    much progress in her treatment."


    Nicole sighed, "I''ve been trying to think of a solution, but nothing suitablees to mind."


    "Don''t worry, you''ll figure it out," Lulu consoled her.


    Nicole bit her lip, then asked, "How''s Er doingtely?"


    This is property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Lulu hesitated, "Things at BayCorp are going well, but recently he''s been visiting Martin a lot. He must


    be getting anxious."


    She thought Er''s frequent visits to Martin might be to check on the progress of the treatment, but


    visiting every day seemed excessive.


    Nicole raised an eyebrow slightly, "He''s going there every day?"


    "Yes, right after work," Lulu nodded, clearly seeing Er''s concern for Patricia.


    Nicole''s brows furrowed slightly as she was puzzled, "Even if he''s anxious, he doesn''t need to go every


    day, right?"


    Lulu shrugged, "Maybe it''s just love that runs too deep."


    So Er''s extra worry and urgency might be due to his deep affection.


    After a moment of thought, Nicole said, "As long as everything''s okay."


    Perhaps, as Lulu suggested, Er was simply too worried.


    "Right,” Lulu nodded, trying tofort Nicole. "You don''t need to worry too much, everyone''s doing


    fine."


    Nicole, with a small smile, looked at Lulu and said, "Good, that''s a relief. You can go ahead and get


    busy.”


    "Sure, I''ll leave then," Lulu said, turning to leave.


    "Let''s have lunch together," Nicole suggested.


    Lulu smiled back, "Sounds great."


    Once Lulu had left, Nicole turned her attention to the documents on her desk and began working.


    When lunchtime arrived, Nicole and Lulu headed to the restaurant. They had just ordered their meals


    when suddenly a shadow loomed over them, prompting Nicole to look up.


    "Why are you here?" Lulu asked, frowning slightly in displeasure.


    Lawrence, with a casual smile, said, "Just happened to run into you and thought I''d say hello."


    "Really?" Lulu looked outside, skeptical about the coincidence.


    Lawrence, however, was already addressing Nicole, "May I join you?"


    "Sure," Nicole replied indifferently, nodding her head.


    After Lawrence sat down and ordered his meal, Lulu muttered under her breath, "Who said he could


    join us for lunch."
