Chapter 3099
Glancing at Nicole, Jared awkwardly excused himself. "I'm going to take a shower," he said.
Nicole chuckled softly, amused by his clear devotion as a doting father. She could only imagine the long road ahead for any boy who fancied Lana, wondering just how exceptional they would have to be to earn Jared's approval.
The next day dawned bright and sunny.
Nicole arrived at the office as usual. Despite a day's worth of work pressing down, thanks to Nicole and Lulu's efforts, the workload left for Nicole wasn't overwhelming.
"Ms. Riddle, it's unusually quiet on Everett's end. Could there be something amiss?” Patricia whispered cautiously.
Nicole's eyes narrowed slightly. Her voice turned cold as she said, "Keep an eye on him."
It seemed out of character for Everett to stay quiet; Nicole felt there had to be something brewing. After the recent events, Everett would likely be more cautious, making him harder to deal with.
"Got it," Patricia replied.
"Nicole, do you think Everett will target our company directly next?" Lulu asked, frowning. They had already dealt with issues at several Riddle Corporation subsidiaries, so it seemed unlikely he would go after them again.
Nicole shook her head. "It's hard to say at this point."
"He's such a troublemaker," Lulu muttered, clearly frustrated.
Patricia tried to reassure her. "Don't worry, he's not someone we should be afraid of."
She thought to herself, 'Besides, as Ms. Riddle said, the more restless Everett gets, the better our chances of catching him in the act, hopefully leading to his capture soon.'
"It's just frustrating that he's always causing problems. I'm tired of dealing with him, but we have to stay vigilant," Lulu complained, gritting her teeth.
