"Is it serious?"
Nicole raised her head slowly and looked at Veronica coolly. "Wickam Group's private and confidential information got leaked. How serious do you think it is?"
"Good grief!" Veronica exclaimed. "Elisa is Black-Eyed Susan, isn't she?"
She's incredibly talented!
With Nicole around, she didn't dare to say it out loud.
Black-Eyed Susan had been her idol. She had been impressed by her hacking skills.
Veronica understood the reason behind Nicole's silence and said, "Since you have already made sure of that. How could you allow that, seeing how long you've carried a torch for Gareth?" She felt slightly speechless before continuing, "I'm quite skeptical that Elisa would fool Gareth – he's such a sharp and smart person! Could he be using this to lure the mastermind out?"
Nicole's brows were tightly locked into a frown. With an austere expression, she said, "I think he's been quite lenient with Elisa because of his feelings. But Elisa is cunning and will bite the hand that feeds her without a second thought."
"Err…" Veronica was at a loss for words, feeling conflicted.
A moment later, she said, "If that's the case, you need to stop her! I know you've already given up on Gareth and even given him your blessings because you want the best for him. Since that woman is up to no good, you can't allow any harm to Gareth!"
Nicole looked convinced by her. Knowing that this was what she wanted to hear, Veronica continued, "Also, your giving up is not helping Gareth. Didn't you want to protect him? This is your chance! Since he can't discern the truth, you should help him with that!"
Nicole looked troubled. "Would he… think that I'm overstepping the boundaries? What if I got the wrong information?"
Veronica's gaze flickered. A-ha! I knew she wanted to hear this. I'll follow her lead.
"You already asked your apt sources to check it out. How could it be wrong?"
Nicole remained silent.
Knowing that she had hit the nail on the head, Veronica continued, "I know you are worried he might think of you badly. You could slowly feed him information on Elisa's wickedness. In that case, he'll appreciate it. Otherwise, all the work you've put in will be wasted!"
Nicole pursed her lips. She didn't say anything but didn't look particularly pleased either.
Veronica appraised her expression closely before speaking, "Oh, you're the only one who could help him! You shouldn't let Elisa's plan succeed. You love Gareth so much; could you bear seeing him getting hurt? Now that their relationship hasn't strengthened, you might stand a chance to get him back!"
