Chapter 2869
They had checked every flight from every airline yesterday, but none of them had Damien's boarding information.
"So..." Nicole trailed off, her eyes widening. "You mean, there's a possibility that he was taking a private, chartered
flight?"
Lulu bit her lips, her eyes wandering in contemplation. "If you put it like that, there is a possibility he was doing just
that. However, Patricia could not find any evidence, and they were not able to get an answer from Damien either.
What are we going to do?"
If they could not determine where Damien was planning to go, they would have to keep him seized, which was an
option they would rather not explore.
"Where are the people who were in contact with Damien?" Nicole asked.
"Patricia is on the case, but we have not received any updates," Lulu answered.

Lulu nodded and looked at Nicole, before changing the subject, "Have you prepared the gifts, Nicole?"
Knowing exactly what Lulu was talking about, she nodded." Yep."
"Mr. Johnston's not coming tonight, right?" Lulu probed.
"Why the question? Do you have something to say?" Nicole asked, looking Lulu right in the eye.
In response, Lulu shook her head in denial. "Oh, it's nothing. I was going to say that Spencer is coming to pick me
up. If Mr. Johnston is not coming, we should go together."
"Oh, so that's why. Well, he isn't coming. He has to pick the kids up. We can carpool to the restaurant together after
work." Nicole said.
"Alright then, I'll come get you after work," Lulu informed and walked off with her files in hand.
After about 7 hours, the time to clock out finally arrived, and that was when Lulu came over to get Nicole. The both
of them then left Riddle Corporation in Spencer's car.
Along the journey to the restaurant, Lulu and Nicole were playing a guessing game on why Stanley had asked
everyone out for dinner. His actions had done nothing but raised their suspicions, so they figured that this was no
casual dinner party in any way.
Upon arriving at the restaurant, they saw June and Samuel, who had also just arrived.
Naturally, the quintet gathered around and chuckled. "Well, I see Stanley has finally come to his senses."
"Nicole," a familiar male voice called out to Nicole as they were gossiping away, prompting the group to turn
around.
Sighting Martin with Cindy beside him, they asked, "Stanley invited you guys too?"
"Not entirely true," Martin revealed and sighed. "Initially, I was the only one he had invited."
Martin was implying that Stanley had not invited Cindy to the dinner, as it was likely that he did not know her. Thus,
it was obvious that Cindy had taken the liberty to show up on her own accord.
Cindy, on the other hand, did not seem to feel as awkward about the situation.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInstead, she was grinning from ear to ear. "I was done with work when I found out that he was going to some kind
of event. I was bored, so I decided to tag along. Do you mind adding another person to the list of guests?"
"If I say I do, will you leave?" Lulu teased.
Knowing full-well that Lulu was kidding, Cindy shook her head. "No way."
Everyone burst out laughing to the exclusion of Martin, who did not seem to find this funny at all. In fact, her
presence was a headache for him.
"Come on. Let's get in. Well, you made the right choice. Today's a special day," Lulu said, ushering Cindy into the
establishment.
A curious Cindy went on to ask, "What's the occasion?"
"You'll find out once you get in," Lulu said, leaving an element of suspense for Cindy to grapple with.
Not minding the fact that Lulu had chosen to keep her in the dark, she followed them in.
The others followed suit, with Nicole ending up at the back of the line, walking side by side with Martin.
"I didn’t expect to see you here." Nicole smiled.
She was rather surprised that Stanley had chosen to invite Martin over.
Looking away, Martin replied, "Perhaps Stanley wanted to offer us all some closure."
