Chapter 2057
"It's a deal." Lawrence then said with a bright smile, "I'll be looking forward to that feast."
"Sure. You can choose the time and place," Nicole happily agreed.
Lawrence had helped her, and it was right for her to thank him with a meal.
"Okay then, I won't disturb your work any longer." Lawrence said his goodbye as he stood up.
Nicole stood up too. She watched Lawrence leave before returning to her desk and sitting down.
Sometime later, Nicole received an email from Ian. She opened it and read it, nodding approvingly. "It's a very good project, indeed."
After reading it, Nicole forwarded the email to Sean and asked him to consider the collaboration project.
After Sean told her that he had received it, Nicole then closed the document and attended to other tasks.
With this project from Interstellar International, the Riddle Corporation could finally make a breakthrough after getting stuck in expanding the business.
During the five years Nicole was away, Stanley and Sean did a pretty decent job of managing their planned projects for the company. However, the families they had a long history with began to think of terminating their partnerships with the Riddle Corporation because of Nicole's absence.
"The Fire Crest," Nicole mumbled under her breath. 'What is that? Why do the families care so much about it?'
When Nicole thought about how the families wanted to terminate their partnerships just because the Fire Crest was missing, she could not help but frown even deeper. 'Will everything be resolved once I find the Fire Crest? But where can I find it?'
Nicole pondered with a serious look on her face and suddenly felt an intense headache. She instinctively massaged her temples and thought to herself, 'Why does my head hurt so much the minute I think about the Fire Crest? Does it have anything to do with me? I guess not...'
"Nicole." Suddenly, someone knocked on the door and entered the room.
Sean saw the stressed look on Nicole's face and froze. Then, he walked briskly to her desk and asked, "What's wrong?"
