“They’re still working. It’s just that there are disturbances on the screens.” Lily softly said, “But it can’t go on for long. Otherwise, they’ll notice something is off.”
If she could use this method for a long time without exposing herself, she would have used it long ago. It was a unique case this time, so she pulled this trick.
Mike stared at Lily in surprise as if he had discovered something new. “I’ve thought about this before, but the more I think I know you, the less I do. Is there anything in this world you can’t do?”
Lily helplessly glanced at him and shook her head. “I’m just a jack of all trades at most.”
She was not humble, but it was true that she only knew the basics about all these other things. On the contrary, she was well-versed in perfumery, combating, and medicinal herbs.
However, Mike disagreed. He shook his head and expressed his thoughts, “If I were a jack of all trades like you, my business wouldn’t be where it is today. If that were the case, Nicky wouldn’t have…”
He trailed off, sighing as he shook his head again. The topic just stopped there.
Lily knew he was upset at the thought of his son. Initially, she wanted to tell him they might have a chance to rescue Nick, but on second thought, she kept it to herself for now before everything was set in stone.
She had not met the other party yet, so she did not know what kind of person they were. Lily also did not know if it were possible to even rescue Nick from them. She might give Mike false hope if she chose to tell him about it now.
But if she had failed, it would only disappoint him even more, so it was best to keep the plan to herself for now.
‘It won’t be too late to surprise him when we successfully rescue Nick later.’
With that thought in mind, she said nothing.
The two entered the elevator and pressed a button. Soon, the elevator doors closed and moved upward. Mike suppressed his sadness and became serious. “I noticed four extra bodyguards outside the boss’s office at this time every single day.
