Chapter 2482
"I'm meeting with a client nearby, around noon. The meeting should be quick. How about having lunch together?" Lawrence suggested, not noticing Nicole's change in demeanor.
Nicole frowned and rejected, "I'm afraid not today. I have things to take care of. Maybe next time."
Disappointed, Lawrence said, "Alright then, I'll ask you out another day."
"Sure thing," Nicole agreed with a faint smile.
"Speaking of which, it's been a while since I last saw Nolan and Lana. Why don't we take them out for a day when
they're free?" Lawrence tried.
Nicole bit her lip and hesitated to refuse directly. So she replied, "I'll check with them first."
"Fine by me. Let me know when you've set a date." Lawrence smiled, thinking Nicole was accepting his invitation.
"Yeah." Nicole faked a smile and remained silent. Her current feelings toward Lawrence were complicated, and she was unsure of how to approach Lawrence. She could only wait for the final results of the investigation. She did not even know which outcome she hoped to see. Lawrence had indeed saved her life before. He had always been very caring and helped her and her kids. However, the things
Lawrence was doing to her now made her hesitate.
"Hey, Nicole?" Lawrence called out softly, noticing her silence.
Nicole grounded her teeth lightly. When she looked back at Lawrence, her expression was neutralized. "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing," Lawrence said as he got up. "I'll get going now."
Nicole stood up to see him off.
