Chapter 63 Drugging?

Lydia started from that blunt question from Nicole. Fortunately for her, she had years of experience backing her up, and so she knew how to handle herself. She quickly put a smile on her face.
"Nicole, you left for quite a few years. It's been a while since we last saw each other." As Lydia pressed closer, she kept spouting her empty words. "You were a little extreme a few years ago, but you know how to correct your mistakes. Such a good girl. Your father kept rambling about you earlier this afternoon. I reminisced about you too. I've always wanted to have a good talk with you and clarify everything. That's the only way certain unsavory rumors will be dispelled."
Nicole couldn't stop the mocking look in her eyes as she listened to Lydia's fake niceties. Nicole was currently the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel; scores of people would be clamoring for her attention. And here Lydia was, demeaning her in front of everyone while also tying her back to the Andersons. Such a good move, that was!
