Chapter 2975
Nicole gazed out the window, lost in thought. She was aware of the security measures Jared had put in place for her, yet the car that had been trailing her from BayCorp was an anomaly. It was a vehicle she didn’t recognize, with occupants she couldn't identify.
She was fairly sure it wasn't connected to Scorpio. Her mind then drifted to Lawrence. In San Joto, he was one of the few who might have a reason to follow her.
Time seemed to fly, and before she knew it, the workday was over.
As Nicole left the building, she instinctively glanced at the spot where the mysterious car had been parked earlier. A different car occupied the space now.
Without lingering, Nicole made her way to Jared's car and got in.
"Let's go," she said to Max, settling into the seat.
As they drove off, Max reported, "Mrs. Johnston, there was no trace of that car you mentioned."
Nothing at all?" Nicole's frown deepened. Were they dealing with someone highly skilled?
"Correct. Our team arrived, but the car had already left, leaving no clues. They're quite professional," Max added.
Jared, sitting beside Nicole, squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Arrange a driver for Riddle Corporation," he directed Max.
He then turned to Nicole, "You should have the driver with you whenever you're alone."
"Okay," Nicole responded quietly, touched by Jared's concern and understanding the need for extra precautions.
Jared instructed Max further, "Keep a watch, but don't go too near."
Max nodded, grasping Jared's strategy. They needed to appear less alert to coax the follower into the open.
Nicole realized the subtlety of Jared's plan. She knew she had to act normally to avoid tipping off their tail. The game of cat and mouse had just begun, and they needed to be patient to draw out their mysterious follower.
