Chapter 3116

The aroma of coffee lingered in the air as Martin's voice slowly filled the space.

"Actually, I'm planning to go replace Cindy," he said frankly, though his demeanor showed a bit of unease. Nicole's eyebrows rose slightly in surprise. "Cindy? You..."

"Yes.' Martin nodded, speaking softly, 'It's only in her absence that I've realized I can't live without her."

Without Cindy, Martin's life had turned unbearably dull and monotonous. His days were confined to the laboratory, with no one to share his thoughts with, no one to break the silence of his solitude. This solitude, once a sanctuary, had morphed into a suffocating cell.

He recognized that Cindy's presence had injected vibrancy into his life, turning the monochrome to technicolor. Her departure had reverted everything back to a bleak grayscale. The void of her absence made every idle moment a gateway to memories of their shared times, each memory a sharp, vivid sting.

The haunting image of Cindy's desolate departure was a constant ache, a relentless reminder of what he'd lost. This profound realization propelled him toward a decision: he had to replace her.

Noticing Martin's newfound clarity and acceptance of his feelings for Cindy, Nicole smiled. "Then I wish you all the best." If Martin could reconcile with Cindy and rekindle their affection, it would indeed be a cause for celebration.

"I'll do my best." Martin raised his coffee cup in a silent toast to Nicole.

Nicole took a sip of her coffee, then asked, "Have you tried contacting Cindy?"

"No, I can't reach her." That was why he had resolved to seek her out personally.

Nicole furrowed her brows slightly, puzzled. "How come you can't get in touch?"

"I'm not sure.' A trace of worry flickered in Martin's eyes. It seemed unlikely for Cindy to cut off all contact, which deepened his concern.

"If you run into any trouble while you're there, remember to contact me. I'll replace someone to help you," Nicole expressed her concern.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to replace someone. Nothing will happen," Martin tried to reassure Nicole.

Despite his own apprehensions, he was aware of Nicole's recent burdens and didn't want to add to them with his issues.

"You and Cindy are both my friends," Nicole said, offering Martin a warm smile.

After a brief pause, Martin nodded. "If I really need to, I will."

"Alright then," Nicole replied, her smile unwavering.

Back at Riddle Corporation, Lulu, who was waiting for Nicole, asked as soon as she saw her, "How did it go?"

"It's okay; he's going to replace Cindy," Nicole shared.

"Oh." Lulu's face lit up with relief. "He finally came to his senses."

"It seems to be about realizing what's lost and learning to cherish it," Nicole mused aloud.

"I just hope Cindy is open to giving him another chance," Lulu sighed, hopeful for Martin's journey.

"It's really up to how he approaches it now," Nicole remarked, smiling at Lulu. "Now, back to work unless there's something else?"

"Oh, there is," Lulu's tone turned serious.

She handed a document to Nicole, explaining, "This looks odd."

"Odd?" Nicole took the document, intrigued.

"It's a letter of intent for cooperation, but I've never heard of this company. I'm concerned it might be a scam,' Lulu frowned. "Especially with Everett lurking around; we have to be extra cautious."
