Nathaniel grew increasingly annoyed and could not resist lighting a cigarette.
Smoke rings drifted upward, but a heavy pressure suddenly gripped his chest.
He felt inexplicably suffocated, and he suddenly wondered what Mavis was doing now.
At 3 p.m., Tommy came in to deliver some documents.
As he opened the office door, he was nearly choked by the dense smoke inside. The ashtray on the table was already filled with cigarette butts.
He was shocked to find Nathaniel had smoked that many cigarettes in just one afternoon.
Was he not worried about his lungs?
Tommy hurriedly snatched the cigarette from Nathaniel's hand and opened the office windows to let in some fresh air.
"Mr. Nicholls, what's going on? Smoking this much at once is dangerous!"
Nathaniel's striking blue eyes were bloodshot, betraying his exhaustion.
Tommy feared what might have happened if he had arrived any later.
Suddenly, Nathaniel stood up and grabbed his coat.
As he left the room, he ordered, "Take care of the company. I'll be gone for a few days. If anything urgent comes up, call me or send an email."
Tommy was baffled by Nathaniel's sudden departure.
What did he mean?
Was he leaving the entire Nicholls Group in his hands for a few days?
Then, it suddenly dawned on him, and he hurriedly followed Nathaniel.
…
Two hours later, Nathaniel was already on a plane to Gurenchti.
According to his sources, Mavis was still at the company there.
It was still morning in Gurenchti.
Familiar scenes from outside the window passed by, but his visit to Gurenchti felt completely different from the last.
In the past two months, the underground forces in Gurenchti had undergone a massive shift.
The last time, Mavis came to Gurenchti to find him.
This time, the roles had reversed.
He smirked, shaking his head in amusement.
The luxury car sped along, reaching the office in just half an hour.
Nathaniel quickly straightened his clothes and stepped out.
He even purposely avoided the main entrance to avoid drawing attention and startling too many employees.
Then, he took the elevator upstairs and asked where Mavis's office was.
Walking down the corridor, he found the door slightly ajar, and he could hear voices and laughter from inside…
