Chapter 1990
' Don't worry, Dad," Nicole reassured Daniel, knowing he was concerned about her.
"Come on. I'll take you to your office," Sean said while guiding Nicole to her office. "We kept this place for you ever
since the setup."
They never expected this room to be retained for five years as they did not even know if Nicole would ever return.
Nicole felt a lump rise in her throat, understanding Sean's meaning. This place was empty for five years, yet
immaculate in appearance. There was probably someone who cleaned it every day.
"Sean, l-l..." Nicole was at a loss for words, feeling sorrowful. If she had known the whole situation, she would have

Sean smiled gently. "You're back, and that's all that matters."
Three knocks sounded on the door.
The secretary's voice came through. ‘Mr. Riddle, the documents are here."
"Bring them in," Sean ordered.
The secretary came in, put the documents on the table, and left.
Sean briefly explained the content of the documents and left after seeing Nicole already engrossed in reading.
Strangely, although Nicole did not understand business, these documents were not hard to comprehend.
Before she knew it, it was evening time. Nicole was deeply engrossed in the documents when her phone suddenly
rang. Seeing the caller ID, she answered, "Yes, Leo?"
' Nicole, are you not going to get off work?" Leo’s voice sounded.
Surprise flashed in her eyes. "Pardon?"
'How did he know I was in my office and hadn't finished work yet?' Nicole wondered.
"I'm at the entrance of your company. Let's have dinner together," Leo said directly.
Nicole was a little hesitant. "Leo, I'm getting off work, but..."
Nicole wanted to tell that she had promised to get off work with her dad, but Leo persisted. "In that case, I'll wait for
you downstairs. I have something to tell you."
Nicole could only agree to his request. "Alright then."
Nicole had a feeling that she would not be able to leave with Daniel, so she informed him and left her office.
Downstairs, Leo was waiting for her.

Nicole could not help but feel puzzled. "How did you know I was here?"
It was a last-minute decision that Nicole made to come to the headquarters. She wondered how Leo found out she
was here.
"Isn't it weird if I didn't know?" Leo replied with a playful tone, posing a counter-question.
With that, Nicole shrugged her shoulders. Leo even knew that she would be the new chairman of Riddle
Corporation. It was not surprising that he knew she would be here.
Without further hesitance, she asked Leo, "You said you had something to tell me. What is it?"
"It's going to be time for dinner. Let's talk over a meal," Leo suggested, opening the car door like a gentleman and
waiting for Nicole to get in.
Knowing Leo would not bother her without a good reason, Nicole got into the car. After all, she had already
informed her father, so her family would not be worried about her.
