Love Unbreakable by Bank Brook

Chapter 344 How Well Did You Sleep In the secluded chamber, a man sat at the head of the table. He wore a white shirt, its crisp collar neatly encircling his pronounced Adam's apple, subtly highlighted by the placement of the buttons. His cool, detached demeanor was softened by a strict, almost ascetic discipline. His good looks were flawless and untouched.

As Nicole entered, the distance in his demeanor disappeared without a hint.

A warm smile brightened his perfect face.

"Nicole," he greeted, taking the coat she had just removed and hanging it with care.

"Have you been waiting long?" Nicole asked.

"Not in the slightest. I just got here myself," Roscoe replied.

Once they had taken their seats, Roscoe gestured for the meal to start.

Nicole dutifully ate the vegetables, despite their lack of flavor, finishing every bite.

Roscoe smiled and suggested, "Nicole, perhaps you should consider placing your company under the auspices of my uncle's firm. It operates in a sector of Ardlens that often goes unnoticed." Nicole shook her head. "Roscoe, let's not talk about this anymore," she insisted.

Nicole was firm in her decision to not involve Roscoe further. His assistance up to this point was more than enough. She felt it would be unfair to

impose on him any further.

Roscoe rarely challenged Nicole's choices. At her rejection, a shadow of I disappointment briefly crossed his face. "All right, but for the specific tasks at hand, I'l arrange for my uncle's reliable aide to help you." "Roscoe, I really don't need..." Nicole started to protest.
