Chapter 2056
In a helpless tone, Lawrence said, "Interstellar is an international company, and its main market isn't here. Besides, I'm new here, so they want a strong local company from the capital to be involved. It's something like a guarantee."
Nicole nodded upon hearing this. "They have a point."
She bit her lip and pondered for a moment. "Ask Ian to send me the details. I'll talk with my brothers and give you an answer after we review it."
"Okay." Lawrence smiled and continued, "I thought you would agree right away."
After all, Interstellar International was really good. Besides, Lawrence found that it really suited the development of the Riddle Company.
"I really don't know much about business, so I'm actually relying on my instincts for everything. That's why I still prefer to discuss things with my brothers when it comes to important decisions." Nicole did not hide anything from Lawrence.
Lawrence shook his head and sighed. "Nicole, even though you haven't been back for long, you've changed."
"Changed? Really?" Nicole furrowed her eyebrows as she did not notice it herself.
"You were always alone when you were on the island, not interacting with people or making friends. You just focused on taking care of Nolan and Lana. Even when it comes to making decisions, you relied entirely on your instincts and rarely consulted with others," said Lawrence. No one could decide anything for her, including him.
"I had to be cautious on the island. My enemies could come after me, so I obviously had my guard up against everyone," Nicole replied calmly. She lived like a recluse during that time, but it was just a form of self-protection.
"What about now? You’re even closer to your enemies here. You could bump into them any time, not knowing that they're your enemies." It was shocking that Nicole would trust the people around her in such a dangerous environment.
"I have a family now, after all. I have my parents and my brothers. I guess I feel a bit more secure, so I can relax a little." Nicole shrugged, thinking that it was probably the case.
