Nicole replied with a warm smile, "Just tell me if it gets overwhelming.” "Sure thing," Lulu replied before heading out.

Nicole got back to work and, in no time, it was noon.

They decided to have lunch at a nearby restaurant, chatting casually as they ate.

"Martin should have found Cindy by now, right?" Lulu asked casually.

"I'm not sure; he hasn't sent any updates," Nicole replied, also finding it strange that there had been no word from Martin.

She wondered whether he hadn't found Cindy yet or if, having found her, he was too overjoyed to share the news.

Lulu teased with a knowing smile, "He must have made up with Cindy and is too happy to remember us.

You know, the thrill of romance." Nicole shook her head, half amused, half exasperated.

"Stop gossiping, let's eat." "Hehe, I'm just showing concern for them," Lulu chuckled.
