The next day, I saw that Nicky had already woken up after I went downstairs with Theo. She was setting the dishes and cutleries in the dining room.
Seeing us, she smiled brightly. "You're just in time. It's time for breakfast."
"Nicky, why did you make breakfast?"
Just as I was asking, Caroline came out with some plain porridge with a smile on her face. "That's right. Miss Tyler was cooking porridge when I got up."
After setting down the last set of table ware, Nicky sat down with us. "I'm used to getting up early and was just in time to help you make breakfast. I can feel at ease this way."
"Thank you so much.”
I was the one who forced her to stay here, yet now she was still helping with the cooking.
As if seeing through my thoughts, Nicky waved her hand and smiled, "Wanda, we’re friends. There's no need to be so fussy about these among friends.”
Her saying that we were friends easily melted me.
I looked at her and smiled lightly. "Yes, we’re friends."
After breakfast, Theo was heading to a partner company for a meeting, so he did not leave with us.
With Nicky next to me in the car today, I had another person whom I could talk to.
"President Grant must be worried about something happening to you. That's why he asked the driver to send you.” Nicky started a topic first.
I nodded, the smile on my lips never fading. "Yes, after yesterday, he even had people secretly protect me, so that’s fine. At least what happened the other day won’t happen again.”
I sighed when I saw Nicky's injured head.
She reached her hand out and covered the back of mine to soothe me. "Don’t worry."
The car was still moving forward slowly, and soon, we arrived at the company.
I had not forgotten the blood-red characters at the door of the company yesterday. The person behind it was persistent enough. Today, he wrote a few more words at the door. 'Wanda Lane, you must die!!!’
The writing was bloodier than yesterday's.
