Chapter 2236
"Sean, why do I feel like there's something off with Lawrence?" Steve mumbled with a frown.
At the same time, Sean's eyes darkened. "Yes, there’s something sinister about him today."
Although he still looked the same as before, the gaze from his eyes had left everyone around him feeling perturbed.
"Why did he look for Nicole?" Steve frowned again, worried that Lawrence would harm Nicole.
Sean hesitated for a moment, after which he decided, "Let's check on Nicole."
That feeling was inexplicable, and the only thing Steve knew was that he felt uneasy about it; the version of Lawrence he had seen today had put him on guard.
"Sure." Steve agreed.
Naturally, he was willing to do so, as he felt really anxious for Nicole.
When the both of them arrived at Nicole's office, Nicole was taken aback. "What's the matter?"
'They should have concluded their meeting already. And since the both of them came over together, I guess it might be something about the company which requires my decision,’ she thought.
"Why was Lawrence here? He came so early in the morning. I don't think he's just here to catch up." Steve replied, laying everything out.
"Oh, it's nothing. We were just discussing work related matters." Nicole briefly responded without telling them that she was going to invest in Lawrence's project.
She felt that everything she would fork out would be from personal account and not the company's. She had enough money on her person to pull this off as well. Moreover, she was just doing him a favor. She would not be raking in any profits from it. So, she did not want the boys to think that she had made that decision on pure impulse.
At the end of the day, there were things which she would need to find a delicate balance for. After all, she could not just stand idly by while Lawrence was in trouble. She did not want to drag the company in over such a small matter either.
