Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1199 Enough

Nicole didn't have the patience to mess around. So, she said with a tinge of impatience, "I came back this time to take over this base. By tomorrow, I want you to hand over all the files and documents in this place."

The proclamation came as a shock. Gina clenched her fists, her eyes going wide with disbelief. A long while later, she finally realized Nicole wasn't kidding. Her eyes darted around, and she stammered, "T-That's a bit sudden, don't you think? This base isn't as simple as it looks. I can't gather up all the files by tomorrow."

Nicole didn't look at her. She simply smiled and said, "It's alright. I have the highest clearance around anyway. I can check the files with or without your help." Nicole went inside.

A panicked Gina quickly caught up to Nicole. "You seem to distrust me a lot. I've been toiling away for the base all these years, and you seem to be accusing me of doing something bad," said Gina, her face red with indignation. She was attempting to make herself out to be the victim here.

Nicole stopped and whirled; her eyes filled with nothing but cool darkness. Cool, inky darkness. She looked almost disquietingly reserved. "Whether it's an accusation or truth, we'll know once I search the files." Nicole smiled mirthlessly, the look in her eyes stone cold. "You have nothing to fear if you haven't done anything wrong," she continued.

Gina couldn't argue with that. Still, the truth was that she did use this base as a cover for her real operations. If Nicole were to look into it, she would definitely find out about it. Gina clenched her fists and shrilly exclaimed, "You and White might've built this place from the ground up, but you haven't even managed it since White left. I was the one who put in all the work, not you. You didn't even put in an ounce of effort."
