Ronald and Patricia's tea party lasted a long time.
The young investigator's movements were slow, not at all as quick as she had said "it'll just take a moment."
Instead, it was almost sunset by the time she returned from the second floor to the first floor.
—However, there was one difference.
The calm demeanor Nicole had when she went upstairs was now entirely replaced with a serious expression.
With a somber face, she approached Ronald and spoke:
"I've got some matters to handle, Ronald, you might as well go off work according to the circumstances."
"In the next few days, it's best not to go out into the streets if it's not necessary."
"..."
She added a complicated reminder.
Without waiting for Ronald to reply, the young investigator turned around and walked to the center of the hall in just two steps.
At this moment, there was also a significant change in the situation in the hall.
