Chapter 2534
"Everything is fine," Nicole replied. "What about you? Did everything go smoothly during your trip?"
Lawrence smiled and replied, "Yes, everything went smoothly."
"That's good," Nicole nodded with apparent indifference, as if she was just casually asking.
"How were Nolan and Lana doing after I left?" Lawrence asked, searching for a topic about which they could discuss, feeling that Nicole's attitude was somewhat strange.
"They are both doing well. I took them out over the weekend, " Nicole looked at Lawrence and said. "You've just returned, so you should get some rest."
She was dealing with a cocktail of mixed feelings, and she did not want to engage with Lawrence any further at the moment. She needed some time alone to collect her thoughts.
Momentarily stunned, Lawrence gathered himself before responding, "Alright, I'll head back now."
After standing up, Lawrence shot a bullet of a glance at Nicole and left the office.
Nicole sighed quietly, her eyes revealing a hint of weariness. She could not understand why Lawrence, who had once saved her, was now against her. She could not grasp what had happened to him.
After Lawrence left, Nicole's calm demeanor turned somber.
Outside the DillCorp building, Ian approached Lawrence and asked, Mr. Lawrence, how did it go?"
Lawrence's eyes narrowed as he replied coldly, "Find out what happened in San Joto while I was away these past few days."
"Yes,” Ian immediately agreed, realizing that something was amiss.
When they had gotten into the car, Ian made a phone call to get someone to investigate the recent events in the capital before driving away slowly.
"Mr. Lawrence, did something happen to Miss Nicole?" Ian inquired.
