Chapter 2247

Lawrence flashed her a sheepish smile. "It seems to me that you won't be in any disadvantage."

Lawrence was worried that Harvey would not accept his requests and would even pose a threat to Riddle

Corporation in the near future.

'Perhaps I'm overthinking this. She does not have to go through me for whatever decision she is going to be

making.

I guess I'll have to put my trust in her,' Lawrence thought to himself.

Nicole bit her lip and shot him a glance. "I must still thank you for this."

'With all said and done, he has personally shown up to provide me with such information just in time. I ought to

thank him for this,' thought Nicole.

"There's no need to thank me for this. Just take it as a gesture of good will," Lawrence replied with a smile.

"Cut the crap. Me helping you is how things should be now. You've given me enough aid before this," Nicole said as

she returned the smile.

'There will be no end to it if we keep repaying each other's favors.'

"That's a completely different story. I told you before, whatever happened back then was done out of nothing but

good will." Lawrence's eyes darkened, not wanting Nicole to feel indebted to him.

Nicole raised her eyebrows, and cautiously, she replied, “ Either way, it's not right for me to take advantage of

that."

Nicole knew that even if Lawrence had done whatever had out of the kindness of his heart, she would still not take

advantage of anyone.

"Nicole, there's really no need for you to do this. It makes things really awkward between us." Lawrence's eyes

flashed with hurt and pain, indicating that their relationship was strained, and that they were no longer as close as

they used to be.

Nicole bit her lips, and in a soft tone, she said, "Leo. We'll always be friends."

Lawrence paused for a moment before issuing a sigh of defeat. 'Why can't she see that I want us to be more than

friends?'

"Want some coffee? I'll have Lulu get some for us." Nicole changed the subject.

Lawrence's face became crestfallen, and that was when he suddenly stood up and said, "There's no need forthat.

I've said what I needed to say, I'll be on my way."

Instead of keeping him around, Nicole stood up and bade him goodbye, "Okay, I'll send you off."

After exiting Nicole's office, Lawrence took one last hesitant glance at Nicole before stepping out of the office.

Nicole sighed mentally, as she bumped into Steve just when she was about to return to her office.

"Steve,' Nicole called out softly. "Were you looking for me?"

"Yeah. There's something I need to talk to you about." Steve turned to glance at Lawrence. "What's his deal?"

Raising her eyebrows in doubt, she asked, "Steve, why do I feel like you have some kind of beef against Lawrence?"

Nicole had never questioned Steve s belligerent attitude towards Lawrence prior to this, but having seen it twice by

now, she was certain. ’It's clear that Steve does not have a keen liking towards Lawrence...'

"Regardless of whether I have a grudge against him or not." Steve lowered his voice before adding, "The point is

you have to be careful when you're around him."

"What do you mean?" Nicole frowned, knowing that Steve would become defensive whenever Lawrence was

mentioned in a conversation.

"I can't fill you in on the exact details. Don't get me wrong, but that guy is not as simple and straightforward as he

seems. Do not get all sentimental and soft-hearted just because he has helped you before." Steve told Nicole.

The more Nicole listened, the more confused she became." Can you cut to the chase?"

"I don’t have concrete evidence so I can't prove anything just yet. I believe you know what I'm talking about. You

just need to pay more attention to things," he finished.

Steve and Sean had been working together to gather evidence against Lawrence, but neither of them had found

any that could be used against him. His record was so squeaky clean that it had aroused the suspicion of both Steve

and Sean. All they could do now was to get Nicole to be on the alert until they had secured the evidence.
