Lawrence shot a cold look at lan. "How are things going with Holder Entertainment?"

"Everything's good. The Johnston Group has not given a response afterwards. It seems like they're admitting defeat and are letting us have the project," lan said gleefully. "It was that easy?" Lawrence's eyes squinted, not believing that it would be this easy.

'Something is wrong here.'

"Yeah. We've been keeping an eye on Holder Entertainment for a while now. It wouldn't be much of a problem," Ian promised.

Lawrence nodded his head. "Okay. Keep a close eye on them.”

'Jared is not an easy person to deal with. I know for sure I cannot afford to be unprepared when it comes to him. I can't relax until we've secured our deal.'

lan nodded his head in response. "Yes, Mr. Royce. You can leave it to me."

Then, Lawrence leaned back against his seat and pondered,' Today's persuasion had made one thing clear. Though Nicole has not fully recovered her memories and there is little to no progress between Jared and Nicole, her heart has still been swayed.'

Lawrence felt restless as he stared out the car window, his eyes glinting as he went deep in thought.

At the office, Nicole issued a sigh of defeat and shook her head, not knowing that such a day in which she was faced with this sort of situation would come. Nicole had always taken Lawrence as her own friend He had saved her life before and helped her get back onto her feet, but alas, she had done nothing to repay him for his good deeds.

Nicole sat down at her desk, as she bit her lip and opened a server that she never thought she would open again. Nicole was very well aware that the server was very dear to Lawrence.

'I guess I can consider this as a repayment for all that he has done to help me for the past five years.'

Soon the sun began to set, with Nicole having spent her entire afternoon trying to decipher and crack the server, but to no avail. By then, she looked very annoyed and unkempt. She walked out of her office, unconsciously covering her eyes with her arm as if she was not used to the light from the outside, which blinded her for a brief moment.

Jared got out of his car and jogged over to her, and with a tone of concern, he asked, "What happened? Was work too demanding for you today?"

Nicole shook her head. "It was fine."

Nicole did not tell anyone that she was in the midst of cracking the server, as it was something that was very dear to Lawrence. Not even Lana and Nolan knew, and Nicole

had no intentions of telling Jared either. Afterall, it was Lawrence's secret, and she would just be returning a favor once she succeeded. Nicole genuinely thought that once the job had been completed, her ties with Lawrence would then end.

"Let's go home." Jared helped her into the car upon noticing that her complexion was poor.

After they had picked Nolan and Lana from the kindergarten, they all returned to the Riddle residence.

Jared then informed both the children that their mother was too tired from work and pleaded with the two of them to be quiet, to which they both cooperated really well. Nolan and Lana obediently went on to watch TV after they had reached home. In the meantime, Jared took Nicole back to their room.
