My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2725

Cindy then shot Martin a smile. "I guess I do know quite a little bit about you. You must be lucky to have

me as a friend. r»

Martin understood that there were many factors in play that were beyond his control. Therefore, he truly

was lucky to have a friend like Cindy.

"So, since you've now made peace with your feelings, will you not consider other women as potential

partners?" Cindy questioned.

"No." Martin answered quickly.

This was not something he could help either, for it had become near impossible for him to develop

feelings for another woman.

Understandably, Cindy smiled and decided to drop the subject, bringing up work-related topics instead. This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After lunch, Nicole and Jared left the restaurant and made their way back to their respective

companies. He proceeded to send her back to Riddle Corporation. Then, he left for Johnston Group,

whereupon Nicole turned around and entered her company building.

As the car maneuvered through the afternoon traffic, Max said, "Sir, from our current observations, it

seems that Damien is not doing anything at all. Still, there's something very foreboding about his

silence."

"Hmm. Make sure our men monitor him closely. Be sure to intercept any international calls he

receives," Jared replied, his eyes dark and cold.

"Specters are known to dwell silently in the dark. If Damien truly isn't doing anything, you can be

assured that something must be off," he continued.

"You mean he's just trying to trick us into thinking he's not up to anything, when in reality, he's still in

contact with someone out there?" Max frowned a little. 'The only person whom Damien can contact

now is Everett. There's no one else.’

As that thought flashed across Max's mind, his gaze darkened. If their predictions were correct, then

they had completed their objective. Everett had been on the run for a longtime after all.

"Ask Charlie to keep an eye on Lawrence too," Jared ordered, his voice deep and low,

As compared to Everett, Jared felt that Lawrence was more of a threat who deserved heavier scrutiny.

At the end of the day, the Water Crest was with Lawrence, and once he had successfully activated it,

there would be no telling what he would do with it.

After all, Lawrence had been eyeing Nicole's Fire Crest for the longest time, and after he had failed, he

went on to get his hands on the Water Crest. At this point, Lawrence's true intentions and motives were

as clear as day.

Knowing what Jared meant, Max solemnly replied,"

Understood."

The car they were in drifted further and further into the horizon, after which it vanished completely from

view.

Meanwhile, in the headquarters of Riddle Corporation, Nicole's phone rang the instant she had stepped

foot in her office.

Seeing that it was a call from Lawrence, she picked it up," Leo?"

"Nicole, have you just returned to the office?" Lawrence's voice blared out from the speaker.

"Yes, what's up?" Nicole asked in an attempt to test him, as she was curious as to how Lawrence knew

that she had just returned.

"I'm on the first floor. Since you're back, I'll head up there and see you." Lawrence replied.

Upon hearing this, Nicole immediately got the answer to her question. Lawrence had likely seen her

exiting Jared’s car.

"Okay." Nicole replied, and hung up.

After a while, Lawrence appeared at Nicole's office.

"Since it's lunch hour, did you happen to pass by?" Nicole casually asked.

"Not really." Lawrence replied, before handing Nicole a document. "Here's a proposal for shared

tenancy. I think it's quite suitable for your company, so I took a copy of it. You may try bidding for it."

After Nicole had opened the envelope, she perused the document carefully.

Then, she nodded and replied, "It's indeed suitable for

Riddle Corporation."

"You may keep this copy. As for the rest of the procedures, you might want to begin with your

arrangements," Lawrence said, before flashing her a gentle smile.

"Aren't you guys participating in this too?" Nicole asked him out of curiosity.

She was wondering why he would give her such an opportunity.

Lawrence shook his head. "Our company has been preparing. Perhaps we might be competing against

each other too."
