Chapter 2999

Nicole looked at Lulu with a smile, seemingly reassuring her.

With a sigh, Lulu regained her composure. After all, they couldn't just ask Lawrence to leave since he wasn't going anywhere.

"Everything went smoothly overseas, I hope," Lawrence said, feigning concern.

"Quite smoothly, and we even had some unexpected gains," Nicole responded, not revealing too much. She believed Lawrence was already aware of the details. Lawrence smiled wryly, "Well, congratulations then."

He understood Nicole was being deliberate. She knew he was aware of everything, so there was no need for him to pretend otherwise.

Nicole nodded politely, "Thank you."

Observing Nicole's seemingly polite but distant demeanor, Lawrence's eyes darkened slightly.

Just then, the waiter brought their lunch. After setting it down and wishing them a pleasant meal, he left.

"Let's eat," Lawrence said with a smile, looking at Nicole.

"Sure," Nicole replied, showing no sign of discomfort, and started eating and chatting with Lulu.

Lawrence narrowed his eyes slightly, listening to their conversation while eating his lunch.

Nicole and Lulu chatted, subtly keeping an eye on Lawrence's every move. Noticing his calm demeanor, Nicole's eyebrows slightly raised. After lunch, Nicole and Lulu prepared to leave.

Lawrence offered, "Let me drive you."

"No, thank you, we have a driver," Lulu declined immediately.

Having lunch with him was already a stretch; they wouldn't accept a ride from him. Who knew what he might be planning.

"Since that's the case, we won't disturb you any further," Lawrence said, not insisting further and bidding them farewell before leaving first.

Lulu, pulling Nicole aside, whispered, "What's his deal, anyway?"

She was puzzled about how Lawrence could approach Nicole so calmly and join them for lunch as if nothing had happened before.

"It does seem a bit strange," Nicole said; her expression became serious with thought. She wondered if Lawrence was trying to test her, or if he had some other reason for showing up. "Let's head back," Lulu suggested, feeling a bit uneasy as they left the restaurant.

The driver brought the car around, and they headed back to

Riddle Corporation.

Meanwhile, Lawrence watched Nicole's car drive away before instructing lan, "Drive."

"Mr. Royce, won't Nicole become suspicious?" lan asked, concerned about their recent open confrontation.

"I'm trying to slowly ease her suspicions," Lawrence replied calmly.

He found it more unusual that Nicole wasn't suspicious of him. By maintaining a friendly distance like before, he hoped to gradually lower her guard and relax her vigilance.

lan wanted to say more but, noticing Lawrence's stern expression, remained silent and started the car.

Lawrence leaned back in his seat, his gaze shifting to the car window. His goal was to have it all, both Crests and Nicole, and he was not willing to let go of either.

Back at Riddle Corporation, Nicole and Lulu returned to work. After a while, to their surprise, Jared showed up.
