My Wife Act Differently Behind Me novel Chapter 2695

"Let's wait for another opportunity. It's impossible now since our hands are tied. I'll let you go on a vacation some other time," Nicole said.

There were far too many things around the office that required Nicole's decision and attention, and among them was the mess that Chloe had left for them to deal with.

Patricia had also been swamped with work. For the past week, she had been dealing with everything at Riddle Corporation on her own. Even with Lulu's return, there would be very little she could do to lessen the workload.

"I know I may not be of much help to you, but I know a thing or two that may be able to help you in dealing with Harvey," Lulu informed with a serious look on her face.

After all, Lulu had thought of handling all ongoing projects between Riddle Corporation and Ellison Group before. 'Perhaps I'll be able to help her out a little.'

"Sounds good. I'll leave Harvey to you, then" Nicole said.

She believed that Lulu would be able to deal with Harvey alone as he was less of a threat and more of a nuisance. Though he was a piece of work, Lulu was more than capable of going toe-to-toe with him.

"Okay, I have already asked Patricia to send all the documents over. I'll have a closer look at the details before anything else. I'll report to you if there's anything that requires your attention," Lulu finished.

With that, Nicole smiled. "Okay."

'Something within Lulu has changed. I'm not sure what it is but I'm liking it,' Nicole thought.

"I'll leave you be for now," Lulu said, and left the office.

There was an air of determination radiating from her presence.

Not long after Lulu had excused herself, a knock on Nicole's office door caught her attention.

"Come in," she said.

After the door had opened, Patricia walked in with a frown. "Mr. Riddle Sr. has stopped all financial support for Chloe's treatment as she isn't going to any of them. Do you think she's given up on getting better?"

"I think it's all an act she has put up for all of us to see." Nicole sneered. "If she had half the mind to call it quits, how did she manage to keep it up for such a long time? She would've given up a long time ago if she wasn't able to persist, so why now?"

Chloe knew that no one would be able to touch her without solid, irrefutable evidence, and ever since Benjamin had decided to punish her, she had been cranking her act up eleven, trying to elicit sympathy from others.
