Chapter 1344
’Who?" Harvey looked at Nicole in confusion and asked.
"Joyce McCarthy." Nicole uttered the name slowly as she stared at him.
"Joyce McCarthy?!" Harvey widened his eyes in shock.
'That's right! How could I forget about her? There is always some hostility between the two of you, isn’t there?”
"But wait, why would she hate you?" Harvey asked Nicole with his forehead creased.
"Because of Martin, I guess," Nicole replied, left with no choice but to tell them about that which had happened a long time ago.
"Martin? What happened?" The look of confusion remained on Harvey's face as he looked at Nicole. What was it that had happened between them that even I don't know of?'
"It's a long story, so I won't tell you about it now," she replied. "Thanks for the lunch. I've got to get back to work now.”
Then, Nicole stood up and said goodbye to Harvey before making her way to the elevator.
Opting to follow her to the elevator, he stood beside Nicole and said, "I don't have anything else to do. I'll come with you."
"Didn't you just say that you were going to look into the security issues of the building just moments ago? You probably have plenty of other things to take care of." Nicole stared at him and said.
Harvey did not know how to respond to Nicole's question, and as such, he uttered in resignation, "The elevator's here. You should go now."
The only thing that he could do was watch Nicole as she got into the elevator and wave her goodbye.
Nicole then ascended to the highest floor via the elevator, while Harvey left and went to do what Nicole had requested of him.
'I've got to strengthen the security system and find the person who had assaulted Nicole,' he said to himself.
As soon as Nicole had marched into the laboratory, Kelly went up to her and asked, "Miss Riddle, are you feeling better?"
"Don't worry. I'm fine." Nicole looked at Kelly, who was evidently worried about her.
'Terry was looking for you just now," Kelly reported to Nicole.
'Thanks. I'll catch up with him." Nicole said and approached Terry.
"Terry, were you looking for me?" Nicole asked.
"Miss Riddle, where did order these spare parts from?" Terry looked at Nicole and asked.
Nicole stared at him, confused.
"Don't take it the wrong way. I don't mean to offend you, but this batch of spare parts seems to be of lower quality." Terry quickly explained to Nicole after noticing how puzzled she was.
"Lower quality? Are you sure?" she queried.
"Look, this is from the first batch, and this is from the second batch." Terry handed Nicole the parts.
Nicole held them up in her hands to examine them, but she could not tell any difference between them with her naked eyes. "They look the same to me."
"Yeah. They look the same on the outside. However, I need you to take a look at the machine over here."
