Chapter 2006
"Certain things?" Sean asked, his eyes filled with doubt. 'Did I just ask her about something I should
not know about?
Staring directly at Sean's eyes, Nicole came back to her senses at once.
She could not help but blush as she tried to defend herself. "No, that was not what I meant. It's just that
it feels weird to have someone I barely know as my legal husband by my side."
"Yeah, I wasn't thinking about anything else. Don't get all nervous," Sean assured, able to tell that
Nicole was panicking.
He was also sure that he had asked her the wrong question.
Nicole twitched her lips. 'This seems like something I can't really describe. Forget it, the more I explain,
the messier it gets. I should just stay silent. It's up to Sean to think whatever he wants to think.'
While trying her best to stay composed, Nicole replied, "I'll leave the assignment of staff members to
you. I'll head out now."
"Okay." Sean regained his poise as if he was talking business, not wanting Nicole to feel embarrassed.
Then, Nicole turned around and left for her office.
When she recalled that messy answer she gave, Nicole's cheeks began flushing. Sean must have
misunderstood her words, but then again, these are not the sort of things she could easily explain.
Thus, she could only leave it as it was.
'D*mn it, Jared Johnston. This is all your fault! I think I should just get you to move back home. As for
mom, I'll have to find a way to persuade her. After all, I can't allow mom to worry about me, at least not
more than she already is,' she thought.
Just as Nicole was about to be buried in her thoughts, her phone rang.
Seeing that it was a call from Lawrence, Nicole picked it up. "Hello."
"How was my suggestion? Is Chairwoman Riddle interested in partnering with me?" Lawrence's happy
voice asked through her phone.
"I see that you are starting to joke around with me now. Are you sure you'd want to continue calling me
by that title?" Nicole replied while laughing.
"Of course not. I just want to remind you that you will be shouldering even more responsibilities in the
future," Lawrence said, his voice carrying a hint of sadness.
If Nicole had not returned, she would not have to worry about all these. She could take care of Nolan
and Lana while living a simple and happy life. That was Lawrence's wish for her from the get-go
anyway.
"I understand." Nicole replied.
Since the responsibility was hers, she would not abdicate.
Then, Lawrence hesitated for a moment before speaking again. "Can I come upstairs?"
"You're downstairs?" Nicole asked, shocked and wondering why Lawrence would appear at her office.
"Yes. If you think that the partnership proposal is satisfactory, we could discuss the details. I gave it
some thought and decided it's best for me to come over," he replied.
In truth, Lawrence did not wish to pass up any opportunity he could get to meet Nicole.
"I'll send someone to bring you up."
"Alright."
After Nicole had hung up, she ordered the secretary to bring Lawrence upstairs.
As soon as Lawrence entered Nicole's office, he looked at the room and praised, "This really is from
the Riddle family."
"Have a seat." Nicole signaled the secretary. "Two cups of coffee, please."
"Noted." The secretary replied and walked out.
Nicole and Lawrence took their seats on the couch, whereupon Nicole went straight to the point. "I've
read the proposal and there are no objections from my side. You can prepare the contract."
"As long as you're satisfied with it," Lawrence replied, not surprised in the slightest.
After all, he knew Nicole very well. Work matters would have to be dealt with via the official way; if he
were to mix work and personal matters up, Nicole would reject it instead.
"I'd have to thank you for this," she stated.
Although the partnership was done in a professional manner, Nicole knew that Lawrence was doing her
a favor by partnering with the Riddle Corporation during such a time.
