ALL suspicions were now validated.
Nicoles mind went blank. She had envisioned Roscoe carving out his independence, free from her influence, only to find unforeseen peril awaiting him. Given the Watts familys exploitation of him, Roscoe had to extricate himself from the situation.
Nicole took a leave of absence from Jemma and then hailed a taxi to Roscoes workplace.
Without Roscoes current contact information, panic consumed Nicole during the journey. Finally, the cab halted in front of the Watts Group headquarters.
Nicole headed directly to the companys reception and inquired, Excuse me, may I have a word with Mr. Roscoe Watts?
Have you scheduled an appointment with Mr. Watts? the receptionist inquired.
No, Nicole replied with a shake of her head.
The receptionist then said, Im afraid you cant meet him without an appointment.
Im a friend of Mr. Watts. Could you please contact him and inform him that Nicole Lawrence is here? Its urgent. Please ask him to meet me.
Im sorry, miss. We strictly adhere to appointments for visitors. Unfortunately, I cant assist you. The receptionist declined firmly.
Though some smaller companies sought opportunities and numerous individuals wished to meet Roscoe, Miguels manager maintained a strict policy against unscheduled visits. The receptionist hesitated to inquire informally.

.
Growing increasingly anxious, Nicole asserted, I assure you, Im genuinely acquainted with Mr. Watts. Please, just give him a call. If he declines, Ill depart immediately. Is that acceptable?
The receptionist scrutinized Nicoles appearance, noting her attractiveness and impeccable attire, which didnt suggest deceit.
Despite her initial uncertainty, the receptionist couldnt make up her mind right away.
In a moment of recollection, Nicole found a photo of her and Roscoe together in her phone, feeling a surge of urgency as she presented it to the receptionist. Here, you can see I do know Mr. Watts. Could you please make a call to confirm it, please?
Examining the photo, the receptionist observed their distant acquaintance, affirming Roscoes familiarity with Nicole.
After some hesitation, the receptionist nodded. Ill contact his secretary for verification.
Thank you, Nicole replied gratefully.
Dialing the number, the receptionist relayed Nicoles request. Though Nicole couldnt overhear the conversation, the receptionist responded affirmatively several times.
Upon ending the call, the receptionist addressed Nicole politely, Miss, kindly wait here momentarily. Someone will come down soon.
Upon hearing this, Nicole exhaled a sigh of relief. Stationed in the hall, she pondered the best approach to convey the news to Roscoe.
With his memory of their shared past and anything related to her now void, would he believe her?
Yet, Nicole remained steadfast in her belief that Roscoe had simply lost part of his memory, not his faculties. If he harbored doubts and pursued inquiries, he would inevitably uncover Miguels treachery.
Armed with awareness, he could thwart Miguels schemes, or at least brace himself against them.
