"Yes, Ms. Riddle." the secretary handed the mail to Nicole and then left the room.


    Nicole looked at the familiar envelope and shook her head slightly, thinking, ''He has now learned to


    y mysterious, sending me express mails everytime.''


    Upon opening it and seeing the contents, Nicole frowned slightly.


    Unable to help herself, Nicole sent a message asking, [Where did you get this information?] [The


    information is urate. Be prepared,] the person replied with a cautionary note but did not answer


    Nicole''s question directly.


    Sighing, Nicole responded, [Thanks.] [Take care,] the person cautioned Nicole.


    With a slight smile, Nicole put away her phone and, after a moment of contemtion, made a call to


    Doretta.


    "Nicole," Doretta sounded puzzled, "Is something wrong?" "Lawrence might make a move in the next


    few days. I hope you and Charlie can support me in capturing him this time," Nicole stated directly.


    "I can help you, but..." Doretta hesitated before continuing, "Charlie went to Mecrounia. Mr. Johnston


    has given him a task."


    Before leaving, Charlie had indeed instructed her to keep an eye on Lawrence and to protect Nicole as


    well.


    "Charlie went to Mecrounia," Nicole muttered under her breath. She figured Jared must have sent


    Charlie to Lawrence''s turf, likely having received some information and made arrangements


    ordingly.


    "Nicole, do you know something?" Doretta probed, curious about Nicole''s seemingly unsurprised


    reaction to Charlie''s sudden departure.


    Nicole responded, "Yes, I''ve received some information, which is why I was hoping you and Charlie


    could help." She was also worried because, although Patricia could protect her, focusing solely on her


    safety meant neglecting other tasks.


    "I can handle it, leave it to me," Doretta assured cautiously, thinking that since she was the only one left


    in San Joto, she had to take on this responsibility.


    "Alright,e see me after work, and we''ll discuss the details," Nicole told Doretta.


    "Okay," Doretta agreed.


    After hanging up, Nicole bit her lip slightly, thinking, ''Charlie went to Mecrounia...''


    As dusk approached and Nicole was just about to leave work, she suddenly received a call.


    "Are you off work?" came Cindy''s voice.


    "I was just about to leave. What''s up?" Nicole asked.


    "Oh, Martin and I wanted to invite you guys for dinner. If you''re free, could youe? Is that okay?"


    Cindy asked.


    Nicole hesitated. She had arranged to meet with Doretta and probably couldn''t meet Cindy and Martin.


    Noticing Nicole''s hesitation, Cindy asked, Do you have other ns?" "Something came up. Let''s n


    for another day, and I''ll treat you then,” Nicole exined honestly.


    She didn''t want to disappoint Cindy and Martin, but the tasks she had to attend to were urgent, so she


    didn''t want to dy.


    "Okay. Call US when you''re free," Cindy agreed.


    "Mm, will do," Nicole said.


    After hanging up, Nicole noticed that thepany''s staff had already left.


    She bit her lip slightly, thinking, ''Doretta should be here by now.''

    Sure enough, someone knocked on the door a momentter.


    "Come in," Nicole called out.


    Doretta opened the door and said, "I came up after seeing everyone else leave."
