My Wife Act Differently Behind Me

Chapter 2880

"That's a good idea." Preston and Gary nodded right away.

After they had conducted a few more rounds of discussion, Preston left the headquarters of Finley

Group and made his way to Riddle Corporation. Upon arrival, he knocked on Nicole's door and entered

her office.

Seeing that it was Preston, Nicole widened her eyes in surprise. "Why are you here? You can’t be here

to ask for a free lunch, right?"

After all, it was almost lunch hour.

"There are some issues, so I thought of coming over to inform you about them." Preston began, and

proceeded to explain the outcome of his discussion with Ryder and Gary.

Nicole nodded. "Initially, I had this idea too, but it's above my paygrade. I was worried we'd alert them,

so I decided to forgo the idea." "Since we're the ones doing it, they won't realize a thing." Preston

explained.

At the end of the day, their adversaries had their eyes on nobody but Nicole. They would not discover

anything if they did not look hard enough.

After giving it some thought, Nicole nodded. "You may proceed as you guys have discussed. Just give

it a shot, but remember this. You must keep your wits about you." "Don't worry, we know what the

situation is like. If we can't pull it off, well give up." Preston replied.

"Alright," Nicole said.

She knew that Preston and the Finley Brothers were rational and pragmatic individuals, connoting that

they should be able to navigate around the issue with little hiccups along the way.

It was noon by the time the duo in the office were done with their little discussion, so Nicole invited

Preston to stay for lunch.

Coincidentally, Lulu had just entered the office as well, so the three of them went out together. It did not

take them long to find a restaurant that was to their liking, so they pulled up, sat down, and ordered

their meals as soon as they did.

"Why did you visit our office today?" Lulu asked Preston out of curiosity.

"I was just passing by, so I decided to swing by for a little visit." Preston replied, not wanting to divulge

to Lulu the true purpose of his visit.

Lulu did not think much about his explanation, as she was simply looking for an opportunity to tease

him again, "I see. I thought you had your eyes on someone in our office."

Visibly annoyed, Preston rolled his eyes at her. "Aren’t there women in my office too?" 'This is just

ridiculous! Must I come all the way to Nicole's office for that? Gosh!' he thought.

"So, you have your eyes on someone in your office?" Lulu's eyes widened and she smirked, her

curiosity growing stronger by the minute.

Taken aback by Lulu's continued prodding, he argued, "Hold up. Did I say that?"

What he meant to say was, 'Do I have to like someone to visit a certain place?' "Hehe." Lulu laughed,

as she was just messing around, unlike Preston, who had taken it seriously.

"How’s your business coming along?" Nicole casually asked.

After flashing her a confident smile, he replied, "Everything's fine. We're progressing just fine."

Hearing that coming from Preston gave her a sense of relief. "That's good." "Don't worry. I'm doing well

now. I'll be able to handle whatever tasks you throw at me without sacrificing time dedicated to the

development of the company," Preston replied, before giving her a beaming smile.

Nicole returned his smile without offering any further commentary. She would be happy as long as the

tasks she had assigned him did not affect the company.

"Oh, right. I got wind that Jared returned to Johnston Group today. Was there something important for

him to do? I'm just wondering if it's alright for him to show up at a time like this." Preston asked out of

worry.

Jared's appearance at Emery's wedding was not known to many, so it was safe to assume that things

were still under his control. If he paid a sudden visit to his company, however, it would be difficult for

him to escape being noticed by an employee or a member of the public. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

"There is indeed something going on. But it's fine. He did use the main entrance, so I don't think

anyone saw him." Nicole explained.

"That's good." Preston sighed in relief.

The moment the waiter had served them their orders, the three of them dug in and chatted away. After

they were done with their meals, they got up and left the restaurant, with Preston heading back to his

company and the duo of Nicole and Lulu returning to Riddle Corporation.

"There hasn't been any movement on Damien's end. Do you think he's waiting for something or

someone?" Lulu asked, hazarding a guess.
