During the meeting, Nicolas wasn't paying attention that much as he was thinking that as he got busy these few days he haven't visited Leila yet, since he got discharged from the hospital then that matters with Connard happened.

'Maybe, I should visit her later? But, what shall I say? And also, what do I have to bring later, chocolates and flowers? Would she like it? Well, she's still a girl so maybe she'll like it', Nicolas thought earlier during the meeting, though he fooled everyone earlier with his stoic expression that looks like he is really paying attention to the meeting but, if they only heard what he's thinking they might beat him for that specially his father who sits beside him earlier, he might smacked his head hard.

'Yes, I think I must really visit her later', he said in his mind then he stands up when the president said that the meeting has ended then they leave the room.
