"I think I need to locate my watch," Nicole said as she immediately posted a message onto the system.
"Yes, ma'am," the system replied as it began processing its command.
Nicole turned the system off shortly after while issuing a heavy sigh.
Right now, she was overwhelmed with mixed emotions.
'I could never have thought that Lawrence would lie to me. Why did he do so? Moreover, the Fire Crest would've

She had a hard time telling what was true from what was false among the people on Crescent Island too. 'Was
everything one big, practical joke from the start? Was everyone in on it too? Those people I had been friends with,

Nicole leaned back against her chair as she glanced out the window, her mind slowly drifted into the clouds.
Not long after, the sun began setting in the horizon, and Nicole walked out of the office. Downstairs, Jared was
already standing by his car waiting for her.
