Chapter 2091
"But I can’t just let this go.
Raine's anger had subsided a little, but she was still fuming mad.
'If it was a failure on my part, I would not have such a hard time accepting this. But losing to Nicole? Right in front of her face too? It's a direct slap to my face,' Raine thought.
"Alright, alright. We ought to bear this burden of humiliation but remember, it's all for our future," James continued through gritted teeth.
"Sooner or later, I'll bring her down.'
"Let's go home." James dragged Raine into the car after he noticed she had finally calmed down, whereupon they left the place.
On the other hand, it did not take long for Nicole and Lulu to conclude their business meeting and get into the car.
"Nicole, I didn't expect it would go so smoothly," Lulu remarked, feeling very impressed by herself when she landed the project with Mr. Harmon.
It was also her very first project after joining Riddle Corporation. Therefore, it filled her with excitement just thinking about it.
"I told you not to worry,' Nicole smiled. "But then, I must admit, your comebacks have gotten better."
Nicole recalled Raine's perplexed expression as she was rendered speechless and was intrigued by it.
In reply, Lulu flashed her a bashful smile and scratched her head. "Would you believe me if I told you I've gotten training through my previous company?"
"I do." Nicole nodded, finally understanding why June had persuaded Lulu to resign from her previous job.
"Nicole, do you know that it's great that you’re finally back!?' Lulu brought Nicole into a tight embrace in excitement. "I've gone through so much in the past five years, but ever since you came back, things have gotten much better."
This did not simply mark the end to Lulu's series of predicaments; in the end, she had also gotten a better job. With that, Lulu's drive to do better at her job had been ignited. Now more than ever, she was determined to work harder to live up to Nicole's expectations of her.
Back at the Riddle Corporation, both Nicole and Lulu went their separate ways. Lulu was determined to spend her time learning and picking up the ropes, which Nicole was more than happy to let her do.
Soon after, Nicole heard an unexpected knock on her door, and Steve suddenly came striding in with an anxious look on his face.
