Chapter 1548
But the instant Nicole thought of Scott, she let out a sigh.
Prior to this, she had left him just like that. Scott might not be aware of it yet, but the collaboration between them would have to end soon. There was little to be gained in forcing the both of them to work together any longer.
Without thinking too much into it, Nicole left the Golden Coast Building.
But just as she reached the lower floor and stepped out of the elevator, she bumped into Harvey, who was on his way in.
Harvey did not seem to be in a good condition. He looked like he had not slept for the entire night as he walked forward with the large, heavy bags under his eyes. However, a fleeting glimpse of light flashed in his tired eyes as soon as he saw her.
Nicole proceeded to ignore the look on his face, even if she had noticed it.
Harvey then went up to her, and in a faint voice, he asked, “You're here this early?"
During the night before, Harvey had not been able to sleep because of her. But when they met again that morning, he did not have the heart to ignore her.
“Yes." Nicole nodded.
Instantly, a sharp pain radiated across his eyes.
Nicole noticed the look in his eyes and began to feel a little uncomfortable.
In response to that, she simply said, "Thank you for the help you've given Kelly and the rest. Our research has ended today, so we'll be moving out in three days."
'She was serious about what she said yesterday,' Harvey thought, his expression turning stiff.
His heart was heavy and aching, as if a rock was pressing against it. However, his pride prevented him from pleading to her.
All he replied was, "Okay."
"That's all. I'm leaving."
As soon as Nicole had spoken, she turned around and left.
Having seen how merciless Nicole was to him, Harvey knew he could not stand her treatment toward him anymore. He turned around the left in anger. He did not want Nicole to think of him as a worthless person by bugging her.
Meanwhile, Nicole had just walked out of the building when she saw a text from Zeke on her phone.
Remembering that Karlo was still in bad shape, she began to wonder how he was doing. Perhaps, she should pay them a visit. And visit them she did, when she turned the car around and headed straight to the Guzman family manor.
The Guzman family was a military family, and so, it would make sense that their family manor was located at the very top of the row of villas belonging to members of the army. After Nicole's car had passed the first curve, she saw a checkpoint.
Having guessed that Zeke had prepared for this, Nicole announced her name, "Nicole Riddle."
Once the guard had heard her name, he removed the barricade, allowing her to enter. After passing through seven checkpoints in total, Nicole finally arrived at the entrance of the Guzman family manor.
The servant of the Guzman family had been at the entrance, waiting for hours.
